Notes from the Resistance
This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]
Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.
I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

State Fair of Texas upholds gun ban despite lawsuit from Attorney General Ken Paxton… “The State Fair of Texas will continue to prioritize providing a safe and secure environment for our millions of fairgoers, as well as our staff, vendors, and volunteers,” said a spokesperson. [More]
Because “there’s no safer rides than carnival rides“!
And no safer locales than “gun-free zones”!

From Len Savage via email:
A forced reset trigger does exactly what it sounds. It forces the trigger to reset.
So when you pull the trigger, there is a cam (compared to traditional AR triggers) that pushes your trigger forward, back to the ‘start’ position which allows you to fire your subsequent shots much quicker. The cam also will not let you pull the trigger until a fresh round of ammo is chambered and ready to fire. Once it chambers a fresh round the cam then drops away and you can only then pull the trigger.
With a forced reset trigger you have essentially taken semi automatic method of fire to near 100% efficiency (not unlike a bump stock in that regard). By forcing the reset and limiting the trigger travel there is an economy of time and movement that allows for a rate of fire near that of the host firearm cyclic rate.
It’s not a machine gun because you are pulling the trigger once for every shot fired. You are doing it. You are doing it with incredible speed because there is no waste of time or movement.
Incredible fire rate sound like fun? It certainly is!
Reason for me blasting it out is I keep getting asked about them.
I have hands on technical experience with them.
Currently they are ALL legal (and have been since July 24th) unless Judge Reed O’Connor gets overruled.

Forgive me if I’m unimpressed by a naked political calculation:
Both the White House and ATF have turned down multiple House Oversight inquiries into charges of ‘collusion’ with Chicago’s lawsuit against Glock [More]
Gee, when have we seen a Democrat administration stonewall House Oversight on gun-related scandals before…?

Not that it will affect these guys…
Expect this trip to be a long one, with plenty of attempts to derail the train and throw gun owners under the bus.

Somebody gave it a catchy name. And spent (another) $52M on it.
That ought to impress someone bleeding out before everything goes dark.

“Why do you want us to not be safe? Why do you want us to be poor?… Why do you want to break this community?” Walker said. “Because where we are with this gun violence and these ridiculous laws we cannot sustain like this. We have to stake a stand on behalf of our government independence.” [More]
Why do you say mandated defenselessness makes people safe? Why do you say collectivism and dependency makes them prosperous? Who is committing the violence?
I guess if her constituents are dumb enough to vote for a gaslighting racist commie, they pretty much deserve what they get. The point is, the rest of us don’t.

What that means for the future of the 2nd Amendment in a nation that is becoming majority-minority is pretty grim. Every three million new mestizo voters is a net one million voters who want more gun control and even if they aren’t really concerned with it, will agree to more gun control if that is what it takes to get more free stuff. [More]
It’s nice to know mine is not a lone voice, but I am wondering where the hell everybody else is.

And he’s not the only one making unbelievable excuses:
Tim Walz’s ties to China are not concerning
Defendant Hines … did not mention that Plaintiff’s mother had initiated the encounter by calling emergency services to express concern about a trespasser… and he stated—incorrectly—that Plaintiff had been charged with aggravated assault… Finally, he wrote that Plaintiff complied with the officers’ commands and told officers he had been afraid for the safety of his grandmother (apparently an erroneous reference to Plaintiff’s mother) [More]
And a “trained professional” being sloppily incompetent and incapable of filing an accurate police report is enough to disarm a citizen…?
Normal PD, eh? Where the chief can have a gun in his carry-on with no consequences?
