Notes from the Resistance
Supreme Court limits reach of federal gun crime law [More]
No sympathy for Taylor. My problem with the Alito/Thomas dissent is that there are “federal gun crime laws.”
I also don’t mind seeing someone else taking a swipe at “Project Exile.”

The explicit part of that puzzle came two weeks back when the high court ruled that a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer—who allegedly assaulted the owner of a bed and breakfast and then sent the IRS after him for lodging a complaint—cannot be sued for violating the First and Fourth Amendments. This overturned a lower court decision that came to the opposite conclusion and etched in stone that immigration agents are, in some sense, above the law. [More]
Well, how else are we going to have a tyranny if enforcers aren’t allowed to tyrannize? Besides, it’s not like they’re out there repelling foreign invaders.
And remember, “conservatives”: Back the Blue (or in this case, green)!

Supreme Court Gun Record Is Sparse Ahead of Likely Rights Expansion [More]
Not to be all negative and everything, but I’m also expecting them to volunteer more compromising statements like Scalia did in Heller that will feed into the Democrats’ “no right is absolute” deception.
For every expansion, there’s an equal and opposite reduction…
The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to advance a new bipartisan gun control bill in a procedural move that saw 14 Republicans support firearm restrictions. [More]
What did anyone expect? Courage and principle from career poltroons?
I can’t wait to see the superlatives NRA will use when describing them in its next endorsement.
UPDATES
Mehmet Oz, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, is quietly shifting his campaign messaging away from former President Trump as he transitions into what’s likely to be one of the most hotly contested Senate elections of the midterms. [More]
I’m shocked…shocked!
Wait ’til ol’ Mehmet says he thinks the 2020 election was valid.
The Donald is so good at firing ’em because he’s so lousy at picking ’em in the first damn place.
Sorry Ukraine, Miami Police Gun Buyback was Complete Bust [More]
Instead of backing down after being told it was illegal, they doubled down on deception.
I wonder if the officer who was candid about being hung out to dry will get in trouble…
Former Jackson County Sheriff’s Deputy Zachary Wester will spend the next 12 years in prison, after being found guilty of planting drugs on multiple motorists. [More]
This is another one of those stories that makes me rethink my aversion to public crucifixions. And in this case, they do call him “a mighty man of God”…

Outrage As Holocaust-Mocking Police Chief Gets $1.5 Million ‘Bonus’ For Displaying Nazi Insignia [More]
I guess he wasn’t as big a dope as I thought he was.

The Criminal Order Beneath The ‘Chaos’ Of San Francisco’s Tenderloin [More]
I believe this is Tommy Lee’s first guest appearance on my new site…

CNN is not your friend. [Watch]
Their audience is not made up of your friends. Comments under this video show not only were no minds changed, this solidified anti-gun biases even further and gave the antis something to publicize.
I’m sorry, but I think this was a mistake.
I can’t help but recall Phil Donahue and the militia…

No deal to end gun violence, U.S. Republican lawmaker says [More]
No, that’s not what he said, you lying sacks. He said they didn’t have a bill.
Is there any news Reuters doesn’t manipulate and color to elicit confirmation bias?
And hopefully, angry gun owners have scared the f*** out of the Vichycons and they’ll knock off this preemptive surrender sh!+.

From His Prison Cell Oath Keepers Founder Stewart Rhodes Weighs in on Latest Jan. 6 Committee Show Trial Sessions and Bill Barr (AUDIO) [More]
Is it a paranoid conspiracy theory to wonder if some might not want the “seditious conspiracy” charges scrutinized in open court and that prison is just the place to keep that from happening?
