Notes from the Resistance
ATF Claims Solvent Traps Were Always Unregistered Silencers… The ATF says that end caps by themselves are suppressors, even if an end cap is the only part an end-user has. The ATF clearly believes that a silencer does not have to be complete or functional before the owner crosses the line. Just the mere possession of a single part can send a person to prison if the ATF decides to prosecute. [More]
And some may be surprised with what they mean by “part.”
“The Justice Department will do everything in its power to find and hold accountable the gun traffickers who are arming the cartels.” [More]
Good one! And they’re headline whoring for the same reasons.
Why does Sir Wilfrid’s cross-examination of Frau Helm come to mind…?
“Lawyers for Hunter Biden raised the prospect that he is the victim of ‘vindictive’ prosecution… [More]
And leave it to the “real reporters” to make that what the public takes away from all this.
The same goes for the OAS and its Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, both of which have no authority, legal, moral, or otherwise, to impose their diktats and override “the supreme Law of the Land.” [More]
Our sympathy does not give sufferers leave to lay claim to our rights. And defund the OAS.
What would happen if an ordinary citizen had opened fire on car thieves? What is the likelihood he would not already have been arrested? Should the agent(s) be treated any differently? [More]
Or as Capt. Bryant said in Blade Runner, “You know the score, pal. If you’re not cop, you’re little people.”
…this technology could be used by the police as “an `electronic master key’ to `disable’ any `smart guns’ in the house,” and be used as a pretext to “ban the manufacture of any gun that ISN’T a `smart gun’.” [More]
Who would be against giving police the power to protect us from armed extremists?
One way to keep a balking population in line is through the time-tested method of tyrants – cowing it into submission by making a highly publicized example of prominent members, which the J6 “uprising” at the Capitol more than provided. And no one was more high-profile in Oath Keepers than founder Stewart Rhodes, sentenced to 18 years in prison for “seditious conspiracy” and “obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings.” [More]
Part Three wraps up my series on why those in power are bent on utterly destroying the one concept that could render them powerless: Enforcers learning they have the power and the duty to say “No.”
But there are others in power who know perfectly well what the implications of “10 orders we will not obey” are, and that’s something they cannot allow to be considered. That it could spread scares the hell out of them, no doubt because there are some orders in Oath Keepers’ list they retain the power to issue when it suits their purposes. So, any thought of disobeying them must be destroyed – along with anyone daring to spread the idea that the oath is to the Constitution, not to a regime and its unlawful orders. [More]
Part Two of a three-part series notes that anti-regime is very different from anti-government…
Traditional American patriotism is now deemed “extremist,” and traditional Americans are now portrayed as domestic enemies. [More]
All the “best” regimes rely on enforcers who “just follow orders.”
Professor Saul Cornell has long taken the position the Second Amendment does not mean what it says [More]
Or as I like to call him, the Slippin’ Jimmy of the revisionist history movement.
NY’s Door-to-Door Crusade Against Homemade Guns Backfires, Unintentional Masterclass in Ghost-Gunsmithing [More]
Considering their policy, I was surprised to see eBay involved.

The intent here appears to be to once more blame “lax American gun laws” for Mexican cartel carnage and to assist in the deception… [More]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
“This means accepting that a man who shoots into a crowd has no more control over his fate than the victims who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time”… [More]
My gut bacteria made me do it! Oh, and you didn’t build that.
And in this case, Nebraska’s “Turn Yourself In” diktat further endangers citizens’ rights. [More]
Self-report to the “authorities” or else– just like the Founders intended!
When the bill predictably fails to reduce New York homicides (because it’s focused on all the wrong things, like not on the criminals), look for new hysterical and pointless demands, like banning out-of-state sales, banning “straw purchases” of printers, banning printer parts, and blaming “red” states with “lax printer laws.” And let’s not forget banning possession of 3D printers by prohibited persons, to be expanded to anyone under a restraining order, on a watchlist, or “red-flagged,” followed by “may issue” permits for anyone else who wants one. [More]
You can’t cite the Founders out of one side of your mouth and then undermine everything they stood for out of the other. Well, you could if you’re a New York Democrat bragging about your foreign values…
If that sounds familiar, it’s the premise on which Operation Fast and Furious, which Grassley opened his letter to Dettelbach with, was founded. [More]
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
It also shows the danger of lazy journalism when a news organization asks no questions/does no independent research, and essentially copies a government press release. To paraphrase the late Paul Harvey, “And now, the rest of the story…” [More]
Another “accidental child gun death” warranting the government to issue a word of caution to the public? How do you “accidentally” shoot your child four times, and would it be too much to ask “professional journalists” to even acknowledge the unexplained disconnect?
Cuellar owns his portion of Biden’s new “Office of Gun Violence Prevention,” and of all infringement and citizen disarmament “rules” and cases of lawfare the administration and Democrats empowered across the land are attempting to impose on their countrymen by force and fraud. And bipolarity on guns is not his only cognitively dissonant political stance. [More]
Ostensibly “pro-gun Democrats” are like blind pigs. They occasionally find an acorn but leave a mess everywhere they go. And in the end, it’s Party über alles.
