Notes from the Resistance
The Arizona Citizens Defense League sadly announces the passing of its founding President and chief lobbyist, Dave Kopp. Dave succumbed to a 12-year battle with cancer on Wednesday, August 24th. [More]
A champion has passed. Let us remember him with gratitude for his willingness and ability to bear those loads on our behalf that so many will not. Let us reflect on the qualities of character he personified and strive to exhibit them ourselves.
Everytown took a MASSIVE financial hit in 2020, used most of their donations to fund salaries – Everytown’s 501c4 Action Fund for 2020 is now available, and it’s a good one lol. First, they took a 75% hit in revenue… [More]
It’s the “pandemic,” they say.
And here’s the “Support Fund.”
So when do we start seeing some high-profile firings? Or will they keep heads to save face?

I didn’t see this on the GOA site yet so I posted the email at my WoG Placeholder site. Not that I expect Fudds who throw the rest of us under the bus to appreciate it.

I wish I could share the enthusiasm but I think all it would take is one gun-free zone exploitation the magnitude of Beslan and you’d see a whole different set of survey results, not to mention a panicked Republican red wave-blowing scramble to get out of the water.
Now is no time to relax like the overconfident hare. Press on in earnest like the tortoise.

I spent this am contacting every gun manufacturer I do business with and asking them to PICK A SIDE and go full Ronnie Barrett on every state and agency presuming to infringe on Heller, Bruen and the constitution generally. It is time for the industry to stand up for their customers and NOT SELL GUNS TO AGENCIES AND STATES ADOPTING & ENFORCING RED FLAG LAWS and passing rebound statutes to piss on Bruen. [More]
Longtime WarOnGuns Correspondent Dave Licht is doing the job NSSF won’t do.
The thought strikes: If someone had the wherewithal to create an auto emailer like what GOA does with our elected reps– but this one going to all gun, ammo, and gear mfrs. — this letter could be used as a customizable template or you could write your own.
The next thought strikes: If someone put that together, how many gun owners would send one?
[T]he Court is unaware of historical precedent that would permit a governmental entity to entirely ban a type of weapon that is commonly used by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, whether in an individual’s home or in public. The Court also notes that the Town’s justifications are somewhat undermined by the other subsections of this very provision. Specifically, subsection (b)(1) provides that “[a]ny person holding a valid federal firearms license from possession of any firearm authorized pursuant to such license” will not be subject to the prohibition of 10-9-40. The following subsection, (b)(2) likewise exempts any “firearm for which the U.S. Government has issued a stamp or permit pursuant to the National Firearms Act.” The National Firearms Act, referenced in the latter subsection, provides for permitting such firearms as short-barreled shotguns and rifles, machineguns, and silencers. Each of those weapons is arguably even more deadly than the semi-automatic weapons that the Town of Superior seeks to ban, yet these provisions would permit individuals to possess, sell, or otherwise transfer them.

Let’s see if any of the NAGR critics are willing to grudgingly admit they’re doing good here.

“The last thing I’m going to do is take a free tri-tip sandwich from a right-wing extremist group,” said one resident, who asked not to be named because she feared provoking “armed and dangerous” people. [More]
Right– because if they knew they’d come kill you, you stupid goose.
Ignorance begets bigotry begets fear begets hate begets violence.
Knowledge begets rationally understanding how to defend yourself against all that.

Sending prewritten letters to some is just a waste of activist time and if this happens enough times their understandable response will be “Why bother?”
To better arm you for the fight, I’ve created a seminar entitled “Win Against ‘Woke’: Defeating Leftists in Daily Life,” which focuses on beating the “woke” mob in daily life. From school boards trying to indoctrinate your children with “Critical Race Theory” to “woke” employers forcing you to use gender pronouns inconsistent with your Faith, “Win Against Woke” will give you the tools you need.

Not a single Democrat made the list, which if you think about it, is the way it should be since with everything else they must do to advance party interests and candidates, it is literally impossible to be a “pro-gun Democrat,” Jorge & pals notwithstanding.
I’m presenting this list as a starting point. I know who my pols are and suggest everyone else know theirs as a minimal citizenship standard rather than just following anybody’s list.
