Notes from the Resistance
How Florida’s red-flag law helps stop potential mass shootings [More]
As “proof” they cite one anecdote? And no mention of the violence to due process? Or the immutable law that removing tools can’t address?
Ah well, it must be good because Marco is for it.

Mental health advocates push back against GOP focus after shooting [More]
Who’s up for some totally triggering vintage Napoleon XIV?
I have an AmmoLand piece in the queue on the dangers to liberty of nice young men in clean white coats chasing after people with butterfly nets…

Prosecutors said Johnson was intentionally brandishing his weapon at five officers conducting rooftop surveillance, while the defense said he was only using his flashlight to see who was up there. [More]
Maybe he was, but all things considered, it sounds like he’s lucky they didn’t light him up.
Why this is a federal case is another matter altogether.
Outages, road closures expected in Hudson due to broken trees and utility poles [More]
The power just came back on an hour ago after about 10 hours of being out. The National Weather Service alert from last evening said “severe thunderstorms” with “80 mph wind gusts,” and what I saw looked at least Category 1. I have a lot of trees on my property and so a lot of branches that need to be picked up, and found out about the big one after the fact– the storm was so intense we never heard it split off and fall.
I don’t claim to be a photographer, but at least my finger isn’t in any of these:
To give you an idea of the scale, the high point to the left is around 6′.
The split is about 20′ up.
Looks like it had some kind of internal rot going on that weakened where the separation started…
I expect productivity here will suffer as I deal with this. There are probably a lot of news tips I won’t be able to get to, so go easy on me.
Biden doesn’t even try to make sense. He doesn’t have to. [More]
It all boils down to banning guns and counting on a dumbed-down public to be ignorant enough to vote for cultural suicide.
The harm to African Americans that started with slavery persists to this day through systemic discrimination that requires California to make “comprehensive reparations” and extensive reforms in housing, education and the justice system, according to a sweeping report released Wednesday by a first-in-the-nation state reparations task force.

What are your options when your government tells you your very existence is an offense?

I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
School safety
Mental health
Social media
Police training
Firearm safety [More]
OK, Governor, flesh out what you mean by that last one.

Virginia County Prosecutor Says He Won’t Enforce Pro-Life Laws After SCOTUS Leak [More]
Just don’t try disregarding laws you oppose if you’re not in the Big Club.

Today the U.S. Department of Commerce Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published a Final Rule adopting a new requirement for Congressional Notification for certain semiautomatic firearms exports under the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The final rule will become effective on July 18, 2022. [More]
Another in a series of alerts I try to keep readers apprised of…
Jackson Lee: There Was ‘Seismic Increase of Carnage Across America Using Automatic Weapons’ after Assault Weapons Ban Expired [More]
Were they “as heavy as 10 boxes“?
No, of course, it doesn’t have to make sense or be true, and of course, no “fact-checkers” will challenge it. The object is to get it out there influencing the ignorant. That and to induce them to hate you.

Missouri Rep. wants legislation to ban teens from buying semi-automatic guns [More]

Prosecutors: Father, son charged with selling silencers had 105 firearms, 13,800 rounds of ammo at home [More]
Citing those has everything to do with scaring and prejudicing the readers.
Tracing things from the indictment to the guy’s website to his other website to his previous website, it looks like he was doing things because of his beliefs.
In any case, he evidently wasn’t doing things very cautiously if the goal was to get away with them. Here’s what Prince Law has to say about solvent traps.
If you were his customer, I’d be calling a lawyer and determining exposure and vulnerability about now.

More than 30 people dead from gun violence over Memorial Day weekend across US [More]
Tell us about the lifestyles and choices of the people involved in committing the violence, and about what perpetuates, enables, and makes such outcomes inevitable.
No? Just call it “gun violence” and act like disarming normal Americans will do anything but create a deeper victim pool?

Richard Small is a self proclaimed “NRA Republican” and long-time gun owner who says the Uvalde, Texas, shooting made him question why he owned an AR-15-style gun – a gun that has been used in multiple mass shooting in the US. [Watch]
How convenient.
I wonder who this quisling is and how he all of a sudden has become the go-to guy for the grabbers to hold up as a “reasonable” NRA member.
My guess is if you pull the thread you’ll find a Lincoln Project apparatchik.
In any case, I’d say the Bylaws qualify him for expulsion from NRA, but if they didn’t have the integrity to do it to Michael Moore, they won’t want to touch it.

Massachusetts’ restrictive gun laws may be the answer elsewhere, police leader says [More]
Because we’ve just seen how well leaving “Only Ones” in charge works.
“Back the Blue” my … eye. Not until they back the oath.

CA Schools No Longer Have to Notify Police of Threats Made by Students [More]
Because telling them is racist.
So instead, we’re going after gun manufacturers.

Seeing how hard Google tries to suppress and discredit her before its search engine will allow you to find her website is instructive.

Former Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann was acquitted Tuesday of lying to the FBI when he handed over since-debunked computer data that purportedly tied Donald Trump to Russia, with jurors drawn from a largely Democrat-leaning pool saying special counsel John Durham didn’t prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt. [More]
Well, that wad is shot. No one really thought this was going to be allowed to go anywhere, did they?
UPDATE:
A juror in the trial of former Hillary Clinton campaign attorney Michael Sussmann told the media after his unanimous acquittal on Tuesday that she didn’t think the case should have gone forward because lying to the FBI wasn’t a big deal. [More]
Yep, in-your-face nullification.
Who thought three Hillary donors on the jury were unobjectionable? Throwing the fight much?

Outside of the store, shortly before 3 p.m., an adult male confronted the individual, brandished a weapon and demanded the AR-15. The individual handed over the assault-style rifle, but then went to a vehicle and retrieved another gun. A shootout ensued. [More]
They’re kind of keeping details about the participants close to the vest…
