Notes from the Resistance
You can find out who the GOP turncoats are via the House Clerk’s recorded votes tally to see if your representative made the Dishonor Roll, either because he’s negligently ignorant, because he’s a proven embedded enemy (like the 15 Republican co-sponsors who have betrayed us before), or because he’s a pandering coward dumb enough to believe this will earn him media props and kudos from “our friends across the aisle” for being reasonable.

With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
We’re coming up on the end of the week and I haven’t even gotten to news tips sent in yesterday morning yet. Sorry, but the article work that lets me do all this has to come first, and I’ve been up to my neck in that, with a pending article on Merchant Category Codes for Firearms News and the “Active Shooter” Alert bill for AmmoLand.
I’ll get to what I can but chances are I won’t get to most.
Thanks for understanding.
So now, just as with so-called “red flag laws/extreme risk protection orders,” even though he maintains his innocence, Martin could be a “prohibited person.” [More]
What is it about people who want to rape us out of our rights?
Make no mistake: His totalitarian position, and that’s exactly what it is, is “Surrender and obey or be destroyed.” His sick ego invites civil war and untold deaths unless his demands are met. [More]
As long as it’s somebody else taking the risks of enforcing the tyranny he demands…
A comment
left under my AmmoLand Hinckley piece prompted me to restore an old poll from KeepAndBearArms.com.
No one who is a longtime reader should be surprised.
It’s the way they feel. And who better to endorse disarming you than a “prohibited person”? [More]
This is madness. But then again, anyone who is both informed and sane instinctively knows that.
And for the record, I thought this photo would be perfect to use, but it turns out there are copyright issues.
People who must pay for their own security are private citizens, the ones to whom the Second Amendment was supposed to assure an uninfringed right to keep and bear arms. Most — including Abrams’ supporters — can’t afford to. That she would also deny them the means to protect themselves speaks of a swindled constituency with views manipulated by a subversive public education system, and a media politically hostile to guns in private hands. [More]
Only two kinds of people would vote for this self-serving hypocrite: Ignorant and manipulated citizenship malpractitioners or evil apparatchiks who know exactly what they’re doing and why.
Some Shortcomings of Open Carry [More]
He makes some good points.
So do some of his critics. The angry and rude hostility that comes out in some of the responses though, when people believe they are anonymous and therefore not accountable, makes me wonder how many behave like that face-to-face.
For the record: I have written to Mike DeWine and the two governors before him in my state, Ohio, to get the “Only Ones” trained to stop threatening and assaulting open carriers. But I don’t personally open carry for the same reason I won’t rack a shotgun slide to “scare away” an intruder.
The slander that “conservative” gun owners are racist and want to deny rights to minorities is an old, tired talking point that’s been proven false many times over the years. [More]
The violence monopolists project their own pathetic, hate-filled paranoia on those who advocate the full exercise of rights by all peaceable people.
If real principles – or lack thereof – are only shared behind closed doors with select politicians trying to advance an agenda, the whole purpose of public hearings is exposed as fraudulent theater, a dishonest performance with the sole intent to manipulate the voting public. [More]
It’s rare to hear a public figure admit the hearings are just predetermined performances for show and the real quid pro quo agreements happen out of earshot.
To utterly reject Lisa Murkowski and send her packing will send shock waves through the Swamp and let the rats who betrayed us know that we’re coming for them when it’s their turn in the barrel. [More]
Kelly Tshibaka appears to be a viable alternative to the wretched Lisa Murkowski around which gun owners can provide an object lesson to the GOP. I encourage you to check her out.
In the examples the influential paper chose to highlight, the posters were not calling on initiating violence against their political opponents. They were calling on supporters of churches and pregnancy centers to defend themselves against violent attackers with mayhem on their minds. [More]
One of the violence monopolists’ go-to lies is conflating self-defense with vigilantism.
GOA and AmmoLand Team Up To Analyze Anti-gun Groups FOIAs [More]
Knowing what intelligence the enemy is seeking can tell us a lot about its plans.
One can only wonder what the Founders would have thought of these worthless heirs to the freedom of self-determination won for them with blood, powder, and steel. The men who did that sacrificed their all to bequeath the Blessings of Liberty to an ungrateful, cowardly, and weak Posterity. These latter-day Tories spit on their forebears’ memory, and on the memory of the Sons of Liberty. They would resurrect the arms confiscation plot that triggered the beginning of the War of the Rebellion at Lexington and Concord – as long as someone else is doing the disarming. [More]
That they long to be ruled is contemptible enough. That they demand it for the rest of us is intolerable.
Let’s look at how the antis are reacting to the decision on social media. [More]
You can tell a lot about sore losers from the angry, lying excuses they make.
Here’s the conclusion they don’t want viewers to realize: If expended ammunition wasn’t capable of producing lethal destructive force on human bodies, it would be useless as a defensive deterrent. What should be the object of focus is not citizen disarmament, but armed citizens being able to minimize “success” by promptly dispatching child-slaughtering monsters to hell. [More]
More manipulation and lies from “the most busted name in news”…
So background checks aren’t enough. The prohibitionists want more. They’ll take what they can get now in increments, but once that beachhead has been secured, they’ll use it to launch their next attack into deeper territory. That’s forever been their M.O., something you’d think even an establishment Republican would be smart enough to realize before signing onto any more “bipartisan deals.” [More]
The first step for grabbers is to lie.
The point, of course, is equality under the law and no special privileges for the elites and their relatives. [More]
More than one gun means more than one 4473. Meanwhile, the “Authorized Journalists” and gun grab groups and politicians are doing a media blackout while “progressive” apparatchik trolls try to sabotage it on social media by changing the subject or attacking with transparent Alinsky Rule 5 ridicule.
UPDATE: It appears I am contemptible for calling this to people’s attention.
Who cares what he thinks? The answer, like it or not, is “millions”… [More]
Undersized knowledge meets oversized influence.
Might such overt pressure from the very top be construed as creating a hostile working environment for employees who hold different political views? Might expressing those views be reasonably considered career and advancement-limiting, and might not expressing any political views on the taxpayers’ dime, by either side, be considered inappropriate and unethical, especially when coming from management that controls employee reviews? [More]
It’s the moral equivalent of requiring a “bullet fee” from the family of the condemned, and those imposing it get off on that.
UPDATE:
Why did the USDA buy submachine guns? [More]
“Weapons of war”? The better to kill you with, my dear!
The devil being in the details, “due process” can mean different things, with not all “hearings” providing the same legal safeguards as a jury trial. And that raises questions of concern that haven’t been spelled out. [More]
Anybody who thinks that this squares with “Shall not be infringed” is nuts.
Biden doesn’t even try to make sense. He doesn’t have to. [More]
It all boils down to banning guns and counting on a dumbed-down public to be ignorant enough to vote for cultural suicide.
“OK, you can have your guns, but you can’t have your AR-15. If you’re gonna get all in my business and tell me what my family can and cannot do, neither can you. They’re gonna come for those AR-15s and you better get ready to give them up!” [More]
Somehow, “nasty” doesn’t seem strong enough…
Democrats, we don’t need to concern ourselves with, at least for now—assume they’re all for whatever disarmament edicts they can get whenever they can get them. It’s the Republicans gun owners need to focus on, and there are few surprises here… [More]
Betraying gun owners and drowning the fire in their bellies will break up the anticipated wave before it hits the shore.
Will they treat the Dettelbach nomination like the existential threat that it is, or will they play politics as usual and make just enough comments to claim plausible deniability on opposing him, without really doing anything concrete to upset a foregone conclusion? [More]
Will even one doer declare “You shall not pass!” and separate himself from the talkers? If he does, who will join him?
