Notes from the Resistance
In other words, the plaintiffs know they have nothing of merit, so they’re throwing everything against the wall to see if anything sticks. [More]
In a just world, the case would be thrown out as frivolous, plaintiffs would pay defendant attorney fees and court costs, and the ambulance-chasing “civil rights” lawyer would be fined and threatened with disbarment if he ever pulled this crap again.
Republican Rep. Reed Ingram “feels” the state’s 2022 permitless carry law, where “anyone over 19 years old can carry a concealed handgun without a permit, background check or training,” is a “bad bill.” Now “he intends to file a bill that would instead require someone to be 21 to conceal carry. They would also have to pass a hunter safety course or get a permit from the sheriff’s office.” [More]
With Republicans like this jackass, who needs Democrats?
What all those pages in the FOIA response did not do is provide what was being asked for. [More]
I wonder why they won’t share where they get the authority to strong-arm permanent gun disabilities without due process and that are not statutorily authorized from…
Perhaps it’s natural for people who know they can’t trust themselves to project their moral defects onto everybody else. [More]
Hoist with her own petard…
1st where are the fudds? Chip Curry is anti-gun and again where are the fudds? As a life long resident and sportsman of ME. and now a senior citizen I have NEVER been contacted by MIF&W. Besides it is not the job of IF&W to teach how to clean your AR. They are spending $ that is supposed to go to supporting wildlife supposed to be game animals not this B.S. PLUS, what moron would trust anyone associated with the Mill’s admin, not to keep records of who is in attendance and what they have. Lastly Where are the fudds? David Codrea, ME. has enough anti-2A going on with out your B.S. You sir are an @$$hat. [More]
Somebody was rubbed the wrong way.
As for where the Fudds are, reading is your friend: See objections to the class quoted in the article :
“I am a lifelong deer hunter and own several rifles and shotguns. I have never in my life seen a hunter in the woods of Maine using an AR style rifle for hunting.”
And:
“I consider myself an advocate for gun rights, I’ve grown up in Maine. I understand that Maine IFW does not make the gun laws for our country. I don’t believe anyone should be able to own AR style weapons…”
And it is the job– by law:
“The commissioner shall establish a program for training individuals in the safe handling of firearms.”
So yeah, funds go to that. Is your contention that it’s not in the state’s interest to make sure people it issues hunting licenses to can’t do it safely? As for funds going exclusively to wildlife and game animals, gun owners who aren’t hunters also subsidize that with higher prices to offset manufacturers and importers paying the federal excise infringement.
As for “what moron would trust anyone associated with the Mill’s admin, not to keep records,” I assume the “life long sportsman” got his guns through an FFL and gets licenses to hunt?
So, pointing out Fudds and antis objecting to the training and noting their hostility to ARs is “anti-2A … B.S.”?
Where are the Fudds? I think I just got done responding to one.
A handful of antis and Fudds repeating tired old lies was enough to get the Department to cave. As for their excuse that it was too soon after the Lewistown shooting, the question not being asked is what does a known nutjob going ballistic after being left alone by fearful authorities have to do with peaceable citizens and their lawfully owned rifles– and will the time ever come when prohibitionists don’t object to such training? If the maniac rammed his car into a group of people, would Maine cancel drivers ed classes? [More]
Ceding to prejudice, ignorance, and fear is no way to run a department.
Internal Documents Show FBI is Worried About White Supremacist Teaming Up With Islamic Extremists [More]
Yes, they never stopped.
As Vanderboegh reminded us, racism is collectivism. Constitutionalists judge people as individuals. That’s why we have no use for DEI and the struggle session pressure to bow down to it.
The FBI is advancing the Garland/Wray “greatest threat” meme by doing what they always do: Conflating to smear non-leftists as violent racists.
Hey, use what works.
I’m sure there’s a nexus between foreign and domestic MVEs. I’m also sure that if you look at the homegrown kind, you’ll get a nice mix of low-hanging fruit and embedded CI/provocateurs.

One would think a Federal Firearms Licensee would be in tune with gun owner reasons and sentiments for Second Amendment absolutism, especially one whose website advertises “we specialize in Paramilitary weapons, military weapons, pistols, etc.” And one would think he would be aware of and responsive to mounting criticism from gun owners angered by his public statements, evidenced by comments under the WJAC article, but especially, on his Facebook. [More]
A bloviating gunkapo finds out pretty quickly his 15 minutes of fame weren’t worth it and is now trying to cover his tracks.
Curious how much less “gun violence” there was in this country before Democrats started imposing all this “progress.” [More]
Once more we’re being lied to, and the biggest ally would-be totalitarians have in imposing their treachery are complicit Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists.
Amidst this backdrop, we’re supposed to believe passing cards to third parties won’t do more than aggravate an already insane situation? [More]
Being terrorized on the train by a cleaver-wielding maniac released by the system? No problem, just hand a “You Got Me?” card to a total stranger! And remember to keep voting Democrat to “feel” safe!
One of those illegally-trafficked firearms was used to murder U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry. That was exposed when ATF Agent Peter Forcelli blew the whistle that cases he was making to charge and lock up criminals for trafficking guns were being ignored by the U.S. Attorney’s office. [More]
No, that’s not how it got exposed.
Forcelli was definitely instrumental and heroic in exposing things, but ignoring the timeline of bringing information to the media, to the Congress, and to the public is wrong. If I didn’t know better, I’d think NSSF had a reason for ignoring that.
Does the DOJ have the power to create new classes of “prohibited persons” outside of what is statutorily defined? [More]
First they said they had no pages. Now they say they have 350. So what’s on those pages, and will any establish they are authorized to redefine”prohibited person” disqualifiers?
However, the recent investigation by the Second Amendment Foundation revealed that 97Percent supports bans on “assault weapons,” standard-capacity magazines, and bump stocks and has called for permits to carry, purchase, and even possess firearms. It supports mandatory background checks and mandatory storage laws and claims the Second Amendment is “overprotected.” [More]
Welcome to the party, pals.
She has described herself as a “progressive through and through” … She has donated to Democratic politicians such as Hillary Clinton in 2016, Joe Biden in 2020, Pete Buttigieg in 2020, and her local Congressman Democrat Ro Khanna, along with a slew of Democratic politicians across the country. In 2020, Shanahan co-hosted a fundraiser for Buttigieg. And she also supported Marianne Williamson’s long-shot 2020 bid. She donated $25,000 to the Biden Victory Fund in 2020. [More]
It’s tempting to think he’ll only be a spoiler hurting Biden, but some “conservatives” enamored of his Covid “vaccine” warnings, and some gun owners uninformed enough to believe his qualified 2A “assurances,” could make that sword cut both ways.
I got a series of emails from the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries & Wildlife regarding my Freedom of Access Act request for documentation leading to the decision to cancel an “AR rifles” safety class.
It looks like the sent me a lot of what I asked for but I’ll be going through everything this weekend to see and then writing a follow-up report.
Who the DOJ is partnering with and how their activities are lawful in light of the Supreme Court’s latest ruling on the Second Amendment are of particular interest. [More]
I don’t think anyone’s ever asked them to provide documents showing how they figure their actions are consistent with Bruen before.
Nowhere has Kennedy shown that he understands any of this, or of the true purpose and meaning of the Second Amendment. Instead, his “going after people’s guns at this point in history” qualifier is a red flag – it implies there might come another time or set of circumstances where he’ll return to his past hostility to guns and decide the time is right. [More]
The guy’s assurances on guns all come with huge escape clauses. So why are so many gun owners being taken in by equivocal platitudes?
Plenty of other reports will talk about all this, so let’s look at an aspect of this story not getting any press—and that’s deliberate. Let’s look at what the gun prohibitionists, who are always quick to gin up the mob and demand more infringements before the facts are known, aren’t saying about the Russia concert massacre and why. [More]
If it doesn’t advance their agenda it’s not worth mentioning. It’s not like they actually care about human lives.
Here’s the (latest) rights scam the Bradys are pulling, #SHOWGUNSAFETY, and, no surprise, it looks like Hollywood is tripping all over itself to do its part. [More]
Just imagine what we could do with an army of Alec Baldwins!
