Notes from the Resistance
A Florida gun owner says he spent two weeks in jail because the government’s background-check machinery treated an old Kentucky misdemeanor as if it were a felony. [More]
NICS… isn’t that the prior restraint infringement hailed by NSSF as a “real solution,” and “applauded” by NRA…?
Tomorrow the House will bring my NICS reporting bill for a vote! My bill aims to reduce the number of false denials created by the gun background check system. NICS disproportionately cheats law abiding minorities out of their right to keep & bear arms. [More]
The whole idea of a prior restraint on the right of the people to keep and bear arms would have killed the Constitution in its crib. That said, I understand the theory of incrementalism, how it’s been used by Democrats with great success to “normalize” infringements, and how dancing around the edges can be a more effective tactic.
But that said, if Massie really wants to throw it in their faces and expose NICS as being less about background checks and more about identifying who owns what, he should introduce the Blind Identification Database System (BIDS) Act.
The proposed regulation raises the fee for a SAEC and COE Verification check from $1.00 to $5.00…The rulemaking is complete. On May 12, 2025, the Office of Administrative Law approved the regulations and filed them with the Secretary of State. The regulations become effective on July 1, 2025. [More]
They do it because they can.
Guess who won’t pay.

You know, the one John Cornyn enabled.
I’m a gun owner and a strong Second Amendment supporter. I’m also… [More]
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.

A bloviating gunkapo finds out pretty quickly his 15 minutes of fame weren’t worth it and is now trying to cover his tracks.

Did they check with the Supreme Court on that for Fifth Amendment self-incrimination violations?

Does Vice President Kamala Harris know what existing gun control laws are? Apparently, not. [More]
She doesn’t need to.
The prohibitionists aren’t really interested in “background checks.” It’s all just another step on the way to the end goal. The DSM is neither interested in nor qualified to educate those it works so relentlessly at deceiving. And forget the information gatekeepers doing anything but punishing “wrong thinking.”
It’s not like anyone dumb or corrupt enough to vote for Kamala is going to question or correct anything she says.
It’s why I constantly chide to share links. If we don’t do it, no one else will.

Hey, if you want to blood dance, you first need blood.
Which invites two questions, one about the open border and the other about the imposition of prior restraints because people who have proven they can’t be trusted with a gun aren’t kept away from the rest of us.
I’ve established a dialog with Mr. Forcelli, have read his book, and will be releasing an interview and a review over the next few weeks.

NSSF, ATF, DOJ Emphasize ‘Don’t Lie for the Other GuyTM’ [More]
Just like the Founders intended!
I wonder how many SHOT attendees drooling over hardware are loudly taking these rope-selling Quislings to task and protesting it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom…?
About as many as manufacturers refusing to sell to or service the confiscators…?
It is fully within our power to stop this epidemic. [More]
Absolutely. Just not by doing anything this evil dotard’s handlers are lying to us about…
Starting with, it’s not an “epidemic.”
