Notes from the Resistance
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in New York City heard an argument in 5 Second Amendment/gun rights cases. The three judge panel heard arguments for over 2 hours before recessing. Mark Smith breaks down where he thinks the Second Circuit is going based on the composition of this panel and the questions asked during the argument. [Watch]
The old farts will act like ones and these will need to be kicked up the ladder.

Don’t look to the three-judge panel to rule favorably, which means the appeal will advance.
The horse and pony show press conference is a tacit admission that California gun laws, the ones garnering “A” grades from the prohibition lobby for being the “best” in the land, aren’t working. So the confiscators say they need more. They always will. It will never end until the totalitarian-minded have it all, and then they’ll turn to what they want next from those under their heels.

It’s not like Chief Moore and his oath-breaking boobs have Clue One as to what would really work– or would be allowed to implement it by their Democrat masters if they did.
Besides guns and burger joints.

The Court ORDERS that Defendants and their officers, agents, servants, and employees are enjoined from implementing or enforcing against Polymer80, Inc. or its customers, in any manner, the provisions in 27 C.F.R. § 478.11 and 478.12 that this Court has determined are likely unlawful. [More]
Garland again,
This didn’t age well, did it, Leon?

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) is asking the Supreme Court to overturn an appeals court ruling that struck down a federal law preventing people under domestic violence-related restraining orders from having guns. [More]
Because how better “to secure the Blessings of Liberty” than to deny rights to people who haven’t even been charged with anything, let alone convicted?

The federal government has been using Americans’ income and gun purchases to conduct warrantless tracking and deny Second Amendment rights. Agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) gave salary estimates to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as the reason to have people’s firearms purchases monitored. [More]
So does that mean IRS is giving them the income data?

San Francisco District Supervisor Hillary Ronen is “begging” for more police officers in the Mission District. Crime is out of control, and the city absolutely has to do something about it… Hillary Ronen is the one to ask. She led the fight to defund the police, after all. [More]
And lemme guess: Hillary wearing her gangbangers for gun control hat doesn’t want private citizens to be able to defend themselves either.
I’d say her constituents deserve exactly what they voted for. And plenty more of it.

The resolution would nullify the Biden administration rule if passed by the House and Senate and signed by President Biden, or if Congress were to override a likely Biden veto. [More]
In other words, not a snowball’s chance in hell.
Dr. John Lott testified before the Michigan House Judiciary Committee about gun control bills, including licensing and universal background checks, Red Flag laws, and safe storage laws. [More]

POV two FBI agents show up at your job to talk to you about your twitter posts criticizing Pfizer pharmaceutical corporation. Yes, this actually f*****g happened to me yesterday right here in New York State. [More]
I wonder how many people he’s killed…
And STOP TALKING!

Someone watches a bank or mall customer with their head in their phone. [More]
And that right there describes “average Americans” literally and metaphorically, which also helps explain why so many of them fall for the “commonsense gun safety law” scam.
A predawn shooting at a Columbus night club left two people dead and four wounded, Ohio authorities said. [More]
Columbus– where they’re imposing gun bans in violation of state preemption law…
I’m sure those will have a great effect on the clientele this attracts…
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a number of improvements in access to mental health care on Thursday to reduce suicides in the military, but held off on endorsing more controversial recommendations to restrict gun and ammunition purchases by young troops, sending them to another panel for study.

Don’t look for the next one to be any less stupid than the first.
