Notes from the Resistance
“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.
Federal Judge Rules Gun CAD Files are Not Protected Speech [More]
Yes, he’s an Obama appointee to be sure, but Mike Lee is the only Republican who voted against him.
Great article! Yeah, it’s pretty funny that our great anti-gun president has a son who lied on his 4473 to get a gun(s).
Speaking of courts, Oregon hardly get press coverage of the what’s taking place in courts here, specifically the fight over Measure 114. I guess we’re regarded as a hopeless cause while coverage of cases in California, Massachusetts, NJ, NY which involve the same issues are always covered in Ammoland. Hmm
Thanks.
In re Oregon, I publish links to every alert Kevin Starrett and OFF put out and more on WoG:

I have for years:

I also do AmmoLand articles:
So does AmmoLand in general:
Our biggest problem is getting the word out — search engines and social media suppress us, and most readers don’t share links, so it’s easy to see how our stuff is missed– but it’s not because we’re ignoring it. We’re doing everything we can to juggle all the balls and drop as few as we can with the resources we have.
The citizen disarmament house of cards … may be set to collapse, and “the Big Guy” may have a son who will do anything to save his own skin to thank for it. [More]
It’s like we’re living in an absurdist farce if Hunter Biden, in a drug-fueled orgiastic stupor, ends up doing more to advance the Second Amendment than Wayne LaPierre after decades in charge of the freakin’ NRA…
If they go after him on it, Democrats know such a charge would almost certainly make it to the Supreme Court. Considering all the complications the Bruen text, history, and tradition standard is throwing in the path of gun prohibitionists in the inferior courts, such charges – like those against Hunter Biden – could very well find such edicts unlawful violations of the Second Amendment. [More]
Special Counsel Jack Smith makes a threat his masters may be afraid for him to make good on.
A supposed “journalist” (and Emmy winner!) from the land made infamous by its corrupt government and bloodthirsty drug cartels, “reporting” for a multinational media giant headquartered in Mexico, another corrupt country overrun by monstrously homicidal drug kingpins, asserts that “gun violence” is “unique to the United States” and not one co-moderator and not one candidate called her delusional on it and chastised her for exploiting the event with transparent propagandizing? [More]
¿Cómo se Dice “Gaslighting” en Español?” And why didn’t a single Republican candidate object and refute the lie?
It’s fair to point out that this is yet another piece of evidence that the Giffords gun grab group is exploiting sport shooters with false promises if it does not condemn Escobar’s betrayal of one of their core strategies – appealing to foolish “Fudds” who think if they have theirs it’s safe to throw other gun owners under the bus. [More]
What kind of moronic Fudd believes these rights swindlers are interested in anything but using him?
That makes fair the question of those funding the Republicans for Ukraine website: “Who are these guys?” [More]
It’s just another Astroturf venture exploiting a handful of useful idiots hooked on Kristol meth.
And in Brand’s case, the public furor being incited may be more about leftist policies he opposes, like Covid “denialism” now being painted as a “right-wing signaling trope.” He’s left the reservation. It’s too dangerous to let a previously favored mass influencer do that. [More]
It’s not about self-absorbed celebrity narcissists. What they can do to anyone based on unproven allegations they can do to you and me.
The questions raised here are bigger than that. They go to the heart of how agencies are empowered to prosecute citizens operate, and what oversight and restraints are in place to keep abuses in check. [More]
What does it say about the administration that it uses all of its legal might to keep from answering them?
She took from “needy families” and “the poor”…the same ones she’s counting on slick-talking into voting for her again. [More]
Stupid Baltimore voters continue to impose the kind of government they deserve on everybody else.
This posted when I’d already left for Texas, so I’m just getting to it now. I’ve got a ton of work to do to play catch-up on article commitments, so that will take priority over blogging here until I can clear the decks.
That means there will be story tips I can’t get to.
In Morrison’s case, we find, unsurprisingly, she’s a Democrat and a Joe Biden appointee. We also find that “The U.S. Senate confirmed Morrison on June 8, 2022, on a vote of 53-46.” That was close. And it means Republicans had to vote to confirm her. Which Republicans? [More]
With “Republicans” like Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Lisa Murkowski, and Mitt Romney, who needs Democrats?
Unlawfully usurping authority isn’t the only thing the government is trying to hide in this case, and by that, I mean in relation to guns. [More]
Two big questions concerning unlawful government practices allegations will remain unanswered if a stonewalling DOJ has it’s way and Republicans continue their deliberate indifference.
