Notes from the Resistance
“It’s not a hate crime to assault somebody and in the course of it use the word ‘haole,’” court-appointed attorney Lynn Panagakos said during her opening statement. [More]
I wouldn’t count on extrapolating that to include other applications…
And speaking of Hawaii, with a new Bruen-defying “sensitive places” bill making the rounds there, I wouldn’t count on infringed recognition of the right to bear arms anytime soon…
Dolan insisted, “The Second Amendment is not in any way violated by this bill.” [More]
That’s because Dolan is a f***ing liar:
State Senator Matt Dolan, a “moderate Republican,” may as well be a Democrat as far as gun owners are concerned. Described by CNN as a “non-Trump Republican … in the McCain lane, the Romney lane…” Dolan penned an op-ed in support of the state’s proposed STRONG Act, essentially a “red flag” edict that promises due process before gun confiscations without really delivering it, and requires “background checks” on private sales, and adds liability penalties to sellers. And no surprise here, Dolan admits “I understand this bill probably doesn’t go far enough for some and goes too far for others.”

And much more.
What we know about the suspect in the Colorado Springs LGBTQ nightclub shooting [More]
We don’t know if he’s one of those haters they’re presuming he is and then extrapolating that to apply to the rest of us. The photo suggests otherwise, at least in terms of being one of those “white supremacists” we’re told are the greatest threat. Where are the photos of him? Did he or did he not use social media, and if so, got links, or are we once again seeing those being taken down?
By the same token, we also don’t know if he’s just another self-loather.
We DO know that, aside from a renewed “ban assault weapons” blood dance and the not wholly unexpected revelation that he’s been on police and prosecutor radar before for bizarrely violent behavior, the left is also exploiting this to make people afraid to criticize real “all ages” red flags being waved with the potential to provoke low-hanging fruit.
Everybody and their brother in the “gun rights” world are going to be writing about this so I’m going to hold back and wait for more about the @$$hole to become known. At that point, I’ll decide if I have something to say that I don’t see anyone else bringing up.
At this point, I’ll use this post throughout the day as an aggregator if something comes across the transom that’s relevant and new.
UPDATES
The gunman who allegedly killed five people at a Colorado LGBTQ club is reportedly the grandson of a Republican California lawmaker who compared the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol to the Revolutionary War. [More]
Hoo-boy, here we go. Funny, that much they can find out.

The useful idiot dilettante billionaires bankrolling this abomination don’t care whose livelihoods are destroyed or whose rights are usurped as long as this wins them “progressive” accolades for being enlightened and benevolent. It’s not like they have to worry about what “those people” want.
How does that Mark Twain quote about reports of his death go again? [More]
And there’s a lot of truth here, too.
Meta/Facebook security guards accessed user accounts and took bribes [More]
So is that what compliance with “community standards” looks like?

Looks like the poll will have to wait.

“…we’re short of workers. We have a population that is not reproducing on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we’re going to have a great future in America is if we welcome … [and] get a path to citizenship for all 11 million, or however many undocumented there are here.” -Schumer [More]
And more welfare for those who refuse to work and/or are unfit to work due to behavioral choices and the utter failure of the Democrat/union-run “education system”…
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…

Concealed carry permits surge to 22 million, 25 states don’t even require it [More]
You can’t tell it by the “red wave.”
That’s a distinction that not enough are making as they focus instead on being giddy over new gun owners.
[Via Remarks]
A New York City Police Department spokesman told the Washington Examiner that the man entered the building with a sword and ax and asked to “speak with someone in the politics section.” Security denied him, and he handed over his weapons when asked without incident. [More]
Now imagine if he’d been a serious threat. Is Times security up to the task, and if so, isn’t that interesting?
