Notes from the Resistance
“It’s obvious the court is not on our side on a whole host of issues,” said Democratic Rep. Meg Froelich of Denver, co-chair of the legislature’s Gun Violence Prevention Caucus. But she said advocates for stricter gun laws at the statehouse aren’t going to slow down, in spite of legal challenges from Second Amendment advocates. [More]
Text, history, and tradition are not on your side. But you have unlimited tax plunder resources, and the only ones it costs are double-taxed gun owners…

An Armed New York: the New York Young Republican Club Stands for the 2nd Amendment [More]
You guys are going to have to do more than “wishing” and teaching your members how to comply with infringements.
And before virtue signaling “Legal immigration is beneficial to America,” you might want to check the numbers on how they vote, because 60% Democrat to 15% Republican sure doesn’t sound that way.

It says you have to subscribe to read more, but this is all we need.
I don’t suppose it occurs to anyone that if you kept them out you wouldn’t have to screen them…?
Or that those in government enabling, abetting, and encouraging this invasion are treasonous embedded domestic enemies…?
If you think the Patriot Act was great, wait ’til you experience the sequel!

Gonzales is a convicted felon, but wanted to buy a gun. So she asked her drug dealer, who hooked her up with Rashan, who had a pistol stolen in a burglary. After selling her this gun for $200, Rashan apparently got the idea of robbing Gonzales — because, hey, if she’s got $200 to buy a gun, probably she’s got a lot more money, right? And so Rashan arranges a meeting, telling Gonzales some kind of story about having more bullets for the gun. Rashan picks up Quashawn, and takes him to meet with Gonzales, so that Quashawn can rob her — but oops! She uses the gun that Rashan sold her to shoot his accomplice Quashawn. [More]
There’s definitely something systemic going on but it’s not what we’re expected to believe.

The student at Connolly Primary School in the north of Perth came home with a printed activity dice which offered ways it claimed to cheer up dads when they were in a bad mood. One of the options was a bullet – with instructions to take “when all else fails”. [More]
I guess we can’t expect an Aussie grade school to know when our own universities don’t…

“We just want you guys to know my brother has schizophrenia, he’s bipolar,” said the suspect’s sister, Jessica Salazar. “He was diagnosed with schizophrenia. A lot of people that have family members out there are going to understand. He would feel persecuted, voices talking to him. He tried committing suicide once or twice.” [More]
In other words, he couldn’t be trusted without a custodian.
So much for “A” grades on “gun laws.”

Oregon judge to decide in new trial whether voter-approved gun control law is constitutional [More]
I can’t find out anything about his politics — there’s no Ballotpedia entry.
In any case, he won’t decide. Whatever he says, this will continue up the ladder.
Besides, ultimately, gun owners will decide.

That’s OK– the government is still saving plenty of money by not requiring a trial first before pronouncing a sentence.

Brady’s Astroturf Campaign To Skew The Comments [Watch]
Here’s my comment:
This proposed rule infrin ges on the Second Amendment.
As Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:
“This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.”
They gave me a tracking number to check back when it’s posted.
Have you made your views known yet?
