Notes from the Resistance
“By adopting this ordinance, the Borough Council will make it clear that our public buildings, such as our schools, our library and our community center, should be free from the dangers of unlicensed, poorly trained or troubled gun owners, while accepting our law enforcement officers who are doing their duty.” [More]
Because everyone’s safer with “Only Ones“!
And speaking of duty…

They tell me that “your content has violated our Misleading Content policy. Please visit our Community Guidelines page blah, blah, blah”. Whatever. [More]
I confess I know next to nothing about this blog– I saw a post about censorship over at WRSA and that caught my interest seeing as how that’s exactly the reason I had to go through all the hassle of abandoning my Blogspot home of 17 years and starting this continuation blog. I see he, too, is the victim of a new Google censorship focus, which means no matter what he does, there are no assurances that work he spends portions of his life on won’t be summarily removed with no warning and no recourse.
Fortunately, that most invaluable of resources, the Internet Archive/ Wayback Machine* had his back on this one. I don’t see what the problem was with it, but then again, I saw no problem with what I posted either.
* I’ve been throwing some money their way once a year because I do find them so indispensable. Case in point: All my Examiner “Gunwalker” stuff would be gone from the net if not for them. And doesn’t that tell you just about everything you need to know about the DSM…
But it looks like the media is starting to change its tune on the theory that our elections are secure and can’t be stolen. There’s just a tiny caveat: only Republicans can steal elections. [More]
Yeah, and it’s racist, too, because we come in with our government-issued photo IDs that only people with white privilege can obtain and ruin everything!

“To open up a gun range, literally within blocks and miles of dozens of schools, I think is completely irresponsible.” [More]
“Blocks and miles” basically means every gun range in the country would need to be shut down. Their version of “commonsense gun safety” means no one has a place to practice and learn. That’s because their version means no one but their beloved overlords will have arms.
At least they’re not indiscriminately demanding followers “snuff out” anybody. Yet.
And per colleague-in-arms President Non_Fudd:
This is the Elise Hauptman mentioned in the article. Shit literally helps “groom” young students to be gun control activists and has a position in the school system. She’s been doing it for years too
The hive minds never quit, do they?
They are looking for an excuse to indict him…..and keep him under indictment. While indicted he won’t be able to run for office. If they can get him behind bars that’s just a bonus. It’s a virtual certainty they will have “found” i.e planted evidence during this bullshit raid. The American Gestapo nee FBI will do whatever their masters in the American Communist Party tell them to do. [More]
Yeah, that was my fourth thought after I called it a day. Stealing 2020 wasn’t enough– after seeing his CPAC straw poll results and knowing people will be paying attention next time, stealing 2024 calls for pulling out all the stops. If this fails, some may be deranged enough to want that assassination Bernard Kerik is publicly speculating on, and all I can say to that is if they thought Archduke Ferdinand was a catalyst for something bigger…
What I can’t tell at this point is if this is a long-planned step or if it’s a last-ditch desperation “Hail Mary” by the Dems who know their numbers are up for November. Trust in government is at a low and a significant portion of the country believes the last election was stolen– not just a handful of lunatics in buffalo hats egged on by assorted provocateurs. That also explains why the Dems are so adamant about this J6 business– if legitimacy in their rule is exposed for all to see as fraudulent, they’ve seen what happens when truckers in Canada and farmers in the Netherlands are roused. They know that F-15s and nukes aside, they’re hopelessly outnumbered on the ground– which is why they want our guns.
I find it significant that, at this writing, there is nothing in the Google News feed about Mitch McConnell weighing in on this. I sense a combination of feckless Republicans not knowing how real hardball is played and some of the old guard rooting for the Swamp because they believe they’ll have a place in it.
UPDATES
We’ll probably want to check in on Donald Trump’s Truth Social page from time to time for statements. This seems like a point to hammer on:

So is that a bug or a feature?

Every American should be frightened and mad as hell by such unprecedented police state thuggery tactics and there must be a complete dismantling and elimination of the FBI. This is too much for our republic to withstand,” concluded Congressman Gosar. [More]
“FBI delenda est.”
[Via Henry Bowman]
This is a provocation. They are trying to get a reaction that allows a further crackdown. Don’t take the bait. [More]
He’s right about deliberate provocation, but this piece feels incomplete. “Be smart” has to include more than “do nothing.”
[Via Michael G]
Remember when Trump said it would be best for armed government agents to raid you and take your property first and then “go through due process second?” [More]
Helluva thing, being hoist with your own petard.
Three immediately come to mind:
It’s been a long day. I’m gonna go unwind.
What idiot prohibitionists can never seem to get in their heads about racism is that judging someone’s worth based on the group they were born into, instead of by their words and actions as individuals, is flat-out collectivism. The only people who do that are collectivists. And we see Busse trying to do that here. For a guy who is trying so hard to present himself as “woker than thou” and holding the moral high ground, that’s pretty contemptible. But at least the paycheck’s steady. [More]
It’s no surprise that those who aren’t particular about which trough they stick their snouts into project their own flaws onto those they’re being paid to destroy.
SIMON: And why not just call the police? [More]
Since it’s obvious how the anti-gun male is trying to steer things, pretty unsuccessfully, by the way, she should have just answered “What are you, a f-ing idiot?” and then asked if there were any men she could talk to.

Former Capitol Cop Edward Travis Page provided proof that he’s legit
— shared texts that he says are from Brian Sicknick, blaming “Antifa” on January 6th.
— says that January 6th committee witnesses LIMITED in what they’re allowed to say (i.e. can’t give both sides) [More]
So we’re being lied to by seditious conspirators…?

Gun Shop Owner Wants ATF Auditor Investigated for Using Her Personal Phone to Photograph Documents [More]
As I’ve surmised before, we’re going to need two things to happen: First, the Republicans are going to have to not blow the “red wave” and reclaim House Oversight and Senate Judiciary, and second, unlike with “Gunwalker,” they’re going to have to strap ’em on and get serious about investigating and prosecuting all the way to the top.

The documentary exposed that only “like 30%” of weapons given to Ukraine reached their final destination. [More]
At least the ones provided to citizen volunteers are accounted for…

In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors say former Rocky Mount Police Sgt. Thomas Robertson used his law enforcement training to block police officers who were trying to protect the Capitol from a mob’s attack on Jan. 6, 2021. [More]
They train you to block police officers?
Or more likely they want to make an example out of him just in case any others are getting ideas on orders not to obey and when it’s appropriate to be a citizen first…?

When will their government admit that knife ownership in China is a human rights violation?

As lawmakers debated how to place new restrictions on firearms, many Americans opted to show their support for the Second Amendment by purchasing a new gun. [More]
I wouldn’t automatically make that motivation assumption.

Tangentially-related UPDATE:
Look at some of the replies. [More]
Most of those will never even question things unless they’re caught in the net. Most have never considered the implications behind “He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance.”
