Notes from the Resistance
It’s almost like all freedoms are interconnected or something, and that an unrestrained government powerful enough to control guns is powerful enough to do whatever it wants. [More]
They’ve fouled their nests. Now they’ve come to foul yours.
Disarming anyone disfavored by the state is one of the oldest power guarantors devised by governments, and this happening in Germany recalls another set of laws imposed within the lifetimes of people still living. [More]
It’s déjà vu all over again.
It’s the right of the people, not the right of special operators. [More]
What may at first sound like a good idea is not one the Framers would have approved.
It wasn’t “gun violence” that killed Fairfax and his wife, it was him. [More]
Why is it those who demand to control us can’t — or won’t — control themselves?
Kentucky Lawmakers Override Beshear’s Vetoes, Delivering Two Major Pro-2A Wins [More]
Great. Now impeach the oath-breaking traitor.
Their “Diverse Coalition of Gun Rights and Gun Violence Prevention Advocates” includes rabid prohibitionist zealots who have made careers out of trying to eviscerate the Second Amendment through lawfare and gun bans, with not one recognized “no compromise” member. [More]
Oh, look, another covertly-funded AstroTurf group comprised of useful idiots and rabid prohibitionists trying to lure in low information gun owners who haven’t seen this game before. By “compromise,” they mean you do it.
Fingers would be better pointed at Mexico’s pervasive corruption and tyrannical citizen disarmament edicts that have made a cartel black market both lucrative and inevitably bloody. [More]
The media pulling the same deceptions we saw before Operation Fast and Furious “Gunwalking” makes this déjà vu all over again.
Understand that when Codrea writes “heavily redacted,” what that means is that there’s absolutely nothing of use here. They sent pages of almost nothing but black bars. [More]
Good write-up! I typically like Tom Knighton’s stuff. But why do you think the site added an “Editor’s Note” at the end?
I’m glad to see Bearing Arms is picking up on my stuff more. (I’m going to be working on my response to Cam Edwards later this week.)
What criteria must citizens seeking similar relief need to meet to prove themselves eligible for equal treatment? [More]
It’s apparently a need-to-know secret, and you don’t need to know.
All the critics need to do to prove this wrong is to come up with numbers that credibly refute those given. [More]
You can’t rebut contentions by avoiding them. It’s past time this argument was more widely noticed in the “pro-gun community.”
Unfortunately, the implementation of this modification introduced a critical security flaw. According to sources familiar with the ATF’s internal operations, the update was not properly secured. Due to misconfigurations in the eForms system, the client-side form elements, those rendered in the user’s web browser, were vulnerable to manipulation. [More]
Sounds like incompetent administration all the way around, beginning with an inadequate request for proposal back when.
I’d love to see some of those “humorous, provocative, or outlandish” entries.
Anybody got the “step-by-step instructions on Reddit” link that has been deleted, and tried it on archive.today or Wayback Machine?
McGuire’s absurdly offensive contention disparaging armed defense while justifying disarming his constituents evokes nothing so much as the scene from the movie Independence Day when the president asks the alien, “What is it you want us to do?” [More]
That and they’ve given themselves a pass on a gun-in-car storage law violation penalty they exact on mere citizens. Could it be more in-your-face to gun owners?
Texas Gun Club Files Federal Lawsuit Challenging 1986 Machine Gun Ban [More]
Wait… they’re suing “this Department of Justice [will] use its full might to protect the Second Amendment” Pam Bondi, appointed by “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president” Donald Trump…?
Hey, they’re just following orders. If you don’t like the law, vote to change it. That’s what they told Rosa Parks, isn’t it?
Right, Blue State gun owners?
With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]
There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?
DeStefano has refused to turn over customer lists, and thus has been singled out for total destruction as an example to any who might defy the orders of the violence monopolists. [More]
He could minimize his ordeal tremendously if he would just give up customer names. But he won’t. So Letitia James is going to make an example of him.
Florida Bill Exempts Church Security from Private Security Regulations [More]
Now watch the insurance carriers pee in the pool.
The late Robert J. Kukla made a brilliant observation in his 1973 classic, Gun Control, equating the release of violent misfits from prison with opening the cage of a man-eating tiger and expecting a different result. [More]
Anyone who can’t be trusted with a gun can’t be trusted without a custodian.
This created a dilemma for Hawaii’s gun owners, the post explained, because it “left residents seeking lawful training with no independent way to confirm who was approved.” [More]
Catch-22…
What we’re seeing is a practical repeat of what the anti-gunners and their media amplifiers were telling the American public prior to “Gunwalker” in an attempt to swindle them out of their rights… [More]
It’s déjà vu all over again.
This is obviously a clumsy attempt at stirring the pot and creating divisions between the administration and Second Amendment supporters. [More]
So… are trolls just doing it for kicks, or is there something more insidious at play here?
