Notes from the Resistance
The raid took place nearly two years ago. So far, the couple has not been charged with any crime, but Brennan’s family cannot leave the United States because they have no passports. [More]
If nothing else, can they issue a department-wide “no man buns” dress code?
Let’s hope this is one of those cases DOJ decides to tear into. We all ought to know who the @$$hole who pointed a gun at a seven-year-old is.

Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) has introduced the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act Jurisdiction Act, which protects law-abiding American firearm manufacturers and sellers by creating an independent basis for removing frivolous lawsuits against them to federal court, especially those predicated on illegal use of their products by unrelated third parties. Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) introduced the House version of the bill. [More]
That’s because “because the PLCAA does not contain an independent basis for removal to federal court, state courts must look to the federal question jurisdiction statute (28 U.S.C. 1331) triggering the ‘well-pled complaint rule.’”
Clear?
Clearer than “shall not be f—–g infringed”?
I can’t find a prognosis yet, so let’s just assume “Not bloody likely.”

Despite the widespread speculation, here’s what we actually know:
A private criminal complaint was filed against Shapiro. The Butler County District Attorney disapproved the complaint. There is no official confirmation of any criminal charges or federal investigation. Social media claims of a cover-up remain unverified. [More]
For what it’s worth, he’s a Democrat…
That said, I join in cautioning not to leap to any illusions. Just from a making sense standpoint, it doesn’t.
And that said, boy, wouldn’t it be rich?

“We have no information to suggest that this was a student who was planning an attack or harming people inside the school. It is our understanding—through a very preliminary investigation and what has been expressed to us by the student—that he was having issues with people in the community, and he was carrying the firearm,” Mitch McCoy, SLMPD spokesperson, said. “While Missouri has very relaxed gun laws, it is still very clearly stated in the law that you cannot carry a gun on campus.” [More]
Based on results, you can. Whether you can get away with it or not depends on how crazy, or in this case, stupid you are.

According to the Bismarck Police Department report, Chief Lahay stated he “instructed Officer (redacted) to go less lethal and transition to her taser.” FOX 2 redacted the other officer’s name since she is not accused of any wrongdoing. Lahay further stated that Kalob became aggressive and overpowered Roberta, who was holding on to Kalob at the time. Chief Lahay wrote, “Out of fear for the lives of Roberta, Officer (redacted) and myself of being shot by Kalob, I fired my duty pistol.” [More]
I’d hate to see’em go MORE lethal…
That said, it sounds like the contingency lawyer wants a payday from a no-win scenario because an immutable law had been ignored.

The entire Department of Justice is starting to file documents in courts basically saying, “Hey we want to put these fights involving the ATF on hold because we’re likely going to be reconsidering them and changing position in favor of the right to keep and be arms.” [Watch]
The federal government asked the Eleventh Circuit to postpone oral arguments in a lawsuit challenging the ATF pistol brace rule, saying that it needs time to review it pursuant to Trump’s Second Amendment executive order…

Armed Women of America Partners with NSSF’s First Shots Program [More]
It appears both are deliberately apolitical, so applaud getting women interested and finding they have a stake in gun laws, but don’t mistake being a gun owner with being an ally. Because this partnership is about guns, and it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.
Yes, you need to get them to dip their toes in the pool, then wade, then learn to navigate deeper waters. But someone needs to tell them at some point voting for gun prohibitionists is unacceptable and reject those who do.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has vacated a three-year prison sentence for a man convicted of possessing a firearm while using marijuana, determining that the government’s ban on gun ownership for drug users cannot be applied indiscriminately. [More]

Although the sponsors have attempted to sell this legislation as a bill that would “close a loophole in Colorado’s magazine capacity limit laws“, it took all of 90 seconds for gun owners and activists to realize this had nothing to do with magazines at all, but was instead a sweeping gun ban cloaked in lies, and once the complex and technical language was broken down, it became apparent how severe it was: worse than anything we have ever seen before. [More]
And when they get that, they’ll go after something else, because of course they’re talking about taking your guns.

A quick read of the bill, SB 947, will show it to be a clumsy and poorly crafted effort to reinvent the meaning of the word “militia” with the single purpose of telling the people of Oregon that they are not part of what we all know they are part of and to further remind us that all power is vested in the military as controlled by Tina Kotek and the people are merely subjects.

“They sell weapons to drug cartels… the fact is that the Ukrainian military sells a huge percentage, up to half of the weapons we send them. And this is not my guess. This is a fact. Not speculation. They sell it, and a lot of it ends up with drug cartels on our border. So this is a crime,” Carlson said, quoted by RIA Novosti. [More]
If true, it should be provable from “crime scene” serial numbers, like in Fast and Furious . If not, a correction and apology are in order.
So… is anybody else looking into it?

Today, Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) reintroduced the No User Fees for Gun Owners Act. This legislation would prohibit any state or local government from requiring insurance, taxes, user fees, or similar burdensome charges as a condition for the continued ownership of firearms, pistols, or revolvers.

Funny thing about Google, and I don’t mean “ha ha” funny: Search for “Grassroots North Carolina” and good luck finding the gun group’s website. I noticed a similar phenomenon the other day when I put in the title of a recent AmmoLand article.
By suppressing our work, they suppress our political action.
Their sucking up to Trump has to do more than just stoke the guy’s ego. A “Second Amendment President” would be calling them out on algorithms that discriminate against one of his core constituencies.
But back to the resason for this post: Sign GRNC’s petition.
“This is an important ruling in a case that has been up and down the Illinois judicial ladder a couple of times already,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “We expect the state to appeal again, which could put the case right back before the Illinois Supreme Court for the third time, and we are confident we will win. It’s hard to see how the Illinois Supreme Court avoids the constitutional issue, as they have done on the previous two visits.” [More]
They’ll pull something out of their … robes.
I see Jose Nino is now writing for AmmoLand.
