Notes from the Resistance
“That’s when Agent Mike turned around and told me that, in their experience, nothing ever happens to people that don’t talk about these things,” [More]
How can we learn more about the impressed-with-his-own-ominousness “Agent Mike”?
I have an AmmoLand article on Hunter’s laptop that’s been in draft form for over a month– we’re still working on ironing out some wrinkles. Hopefully, that will happen sooner rather than later.

Yet a closer inspection of Activision Blizzard’s key staff and their connections to state power, as well as details gleaned from documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, reveal that Call of Duty is not a neutral first-person shooter, but a carefully constructed piece of military propaganda, designed to advance the interests of the U.S. national security state. [More]
Lemme know when the object is to take out “the greatest threat.”
I don’t have time to look into it, but I’d be curious to know if the Activision honchos hold the mutually exclusive positions of saying video games don’t influence real-world behavior and MAGA rhetoric causes violent hate attacks.

“Indisputable” video evidence shows Barry Washington “assaulted Ian Cranston without provocation, resulting in head injuries that required the police to take [him] to the hospital where a brain scan and other procedures had to be performed,” Cranston’s attorney reports. [More]
We’ve established that’s racist.
The public defenders for the suspect in the mass shooting at a Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub said in a Tuesday night court filing obtained by a New York Times reporter that their client is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns. [More]
Did someone say “self-loathing“?

To make matters more confusing, the guy who beat him up was apparently straight.

New York Attorney General Letitia James today cracked down on online ammunition sellers illegally shipping ammunition to New York residents and failing to keep records of these sales. An investigation by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) found that 39 ammunition sellers have been shipping ammunition directly to New York residents in violation of New York’s SAFE Act, which prohibits direct online sales of ammunition to New York residents. Attorney General James sent cease and desist orders to these ammunition sellers demanding that they stop shipping ammunition directly to New York and warned them of serious legal consequences if they continue to violate New York’s law. [More]
The maniac doesn’t presume to rule just New Yorkers.
So: Which ammo dealers are still selling to the state?

When the NCPD found out that the woman seeking a concealed carry permit because she feared for her life didn’t notify the NCPD Pistol License Section of her 911 call, they promptly stopped the background investigation and suspended her pistol permit. They proceeded to confiscate her firearms, including her long guns. [More]
And remember, all you “law-abiding gun owner” types: Back the Blue!

America’s deadly gun culture: Over 600 mass shootings in one year [More]
Funny… when I think of the phrase “gun culture,” I think of the millions of members of the NRA, GOA, SAF, etc., that is, the most heavily armed citizen population on the planet that is also demonstrably the most peaceable.
So it’s not the guns.
The problem with those responsible for murder is they are beyond being simply uncultured.
Of course, those responsible for blaming good Americans for the predations of evil know that — well, maybe not the “authorized journalists,” who as a whole have proven ignorant, biased, and lazy, but certainly the cold and calculating minds giving them all the narrative talking points to parrot.

San Francisco Election Commissioner’s Term Not Renewed Because He’s White [More]

Don’t worry. It’s just “hyperbole.”
Now let’s talk about what kind of racist is against “commonsense gun safety.”

“Property owners indeed have the right to exclude. But the state may not unilaterally exercise that right and, thereby, interfere with the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens who seek to carry for self-defense outside of their own homes.” [More]
If you don’t want me there, put up a sign. It’s not the government’s job to absolve you of accountability, and I’ll be happy to let you be the attractant.

Funny… I don’t see where her bio says how many children she has successfully raised.

More than three weeks after losing a reelection bid, President Jair Bolsonaro on Tuesday blamed a software bug and demanded the electoral authority annul votes cast on most of Brazil’s nation’s electronic voting machines, though independent experts say the bug doesn’t affect the reliability of results. [More]
“Baseless,” right?
Now, this would be something:
“Brazilian Military is Just Waiting for Bolsonaro to Give the Order to Arrest Corrupt Communist Judge”
It kind of explains why our rulers have focused so intently on woke generals.
Regardless, it looks like a critical mass of Brazilians isn’t just going to roll over for Lula’s planned citizen disarmament.
We need to be able to say the same and be on our guard against the renewed divide-and-conquer strategy of spawning woke gun owners.
Walmart employee in Chesapeake, Virginia kills 6 with pistol, police say [More]
“Pistol”? Not “AR-15-style rifle”?
No matter. They want them all.
And naturally, “The employee has not been identified as police say they have yet to contact his next of kin.”
It’s not like he’s the victim here, and how many hours has it been? My immediate question is what kind of internet trail did he leave, and is it being brushed over as we speak?
We still don’t know much about the Colorado Springs moron, either, except they couldn’t get him on a bomb threat rap, some desperately want to establish a MAGA connection, and the information gatekeepers evidently don’t want anything that might conflict with that insinuation coming to the fore.
UPDATES
But let’s go to the “study” and see what gun owners will have to give up in order to achieve the “benefits” of “could” and “has the potential,” assuming they’re not just ignoring factors they have no solutions for and aren’t just making sh… uh… stuff up. [More]

Diminished Majority Supports Stricter Gun Laws In U.S. [More]
There are still too many low-information ignoramuses out there willing to swallow whatever bilge the antis are pumping into them.
It’s up to each of us to be force multipliers and share the truth within our spheres of influence.

We’re taking an ostrich approach to enforcing gun laws — with deadly results [More]
Not that these head-in-the-sand eggheads have any “answers” besides disarming you and me without due full process.
The reason I decided to give this one a link is not for the article itself, but for some of the comments, just to show the mentality this appeals to. The fanatic in point goes by “AE,” who at least put the lie to the “No one wants to take your guns” excuse:
If it weren’t for the legal gun owners in this country there wouldn’t be a gun violence problem…
Here’s what happens if you disagree:
I’ll go slow. If it weren’t for all the fearful and compensating man boys fighting for unrestricted purchase and use of firearms, there wouldn’t be any firearms in today’s society. Thus, no illegal gun problem…
There is absolutely no point in “debating” with such as these, or in establishing “common ground” dialog, as some ostensibly on “our side” are doing.
