Notes from the Resistance
To prohibit the imposition of requirements that handguns have certain features generally absent from firearms in common use, and to restore the civil and natural rights of Americans in States hostile to liberty, and for other purposes. [More]
And when Republicans are in a position to actually roll back an infringement…?
Besides: What about arms NOT in common use by any except the standing army because the government won’t allow them to be?

I’m reminded of a speculation by an old friend:
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.

Hey, if $5 is “better” than $1, how much “better” would $50 be? What’s to stop it?
Guess who won’t pay a dime, chumps.

This is not to excuse pornography, but rather refocus inquiry and reflection (as I do here) on the ways in which guns amplify phallocentrism. [More]
Academia sent me a link to this 2007 “study.”
Sounds like author C. Richard King has too much time on his hands and/or too much of something else in his hands…
He even cites SPLC’s Mark Pitcavage, who looks like his hands wouldn’t reach, at least his own…
We’re not interested in negotiating our rights that you and your fellow travelers have no claim to. Come and take them. [More]

A U.S. appeals court on Friday upheld Maryland’s licensing requirements for people seeking to buy handguns, saying the law remained valid even after a U.S. Supreme Court decision in 2022 that expanded gun rights. [More]
Anybody know which clause from Bruen Obama-appointee Barbara Milano Keenan cherry-picked to justify a clear prior restraint?

Massachusetts Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) asking it to “closely examine” facial recognition-enabled ammunition vending machines that have recently been installed in supermarkets in certain states. [More]
Yeah, why does it need to ID us?

Just received a letter from the NRA – National Rifle Association of America verifying my A-rating as a “solid pro-gun/pro-hunting candidate” who will be an advocate for your right to keep and bear arms as Georgia’s next Lt. Governor. I hope to earn your vote on Election Day. [More]
That’s why he’s urging all Americans to vote for Kamala Harris and her agenda to eviscerate the Second Amendment, calling those who do “patriots,” and smearing everyone who doesn’t as “a cult worshipping a felonous thug”!
He swindled Georgia Carry, too:
“If Brian Kemp wins governor and Geoff Duncan wins lieutenant governor, I don’t see us needing to play defense next year,” said Jerry Henry, Georgia Carry’s executive director. “If those people get elected, why would we have to fight (gun control legislation)?”
What a lying @$$hole this Duncan character is.
McKee says he will include an ‘assault weapon’ ban in next year’s budget. [More]
Well, he beat the Republican 58% to 39%, so Rhode Islanders evidently have the overseer they want. And it’s not like “gun laws are strong enough” would put fire in my belly…

“So we have a best alternative to a negotiated agreement. Our BATNA is that we are going to stop all other gun control work and focus all our resources on a campaign to repeal the Second Amendment. We have a template for that; the amendment outlawing alcoholic beverages was passed and a decade later that Amendment was repealed. We are either going to get your commitment to allow our democratically produced local and state laws honored or we will end our negotiations and begin a massive campaign to overturn the Second Amendment.” [More]
No.
I think I may have found my next article.

In defending gun control laws in Illinois and other states, Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul recognizes the challenges posed by recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent on the right to keep and bear arms. [More]
Attacking rights is now considered “defending”?
The biggest challenge is to run out the clock until SCOTUS can be repurposed.

Today, Judge Adrienne Nelson, denied our request for a restraining order to delay the implementation of HB 2005, the bill banning the ownership of privately made firearms. [More]
I trust no one believed a judge who has been appointed by Kate Brown and nominated by Joe Biden was going to give gun owners an even break?
New Hampshire residents who carry their legally owned guns when passing through Massachusetts should not be charged with any crimes, Attorney General John Formella argued in a brief supporting a legal challenge from two state residents facing criminal charges in the Bay State. [More]
Enjoy these arguments while you can. If Kamala wins, remaking SCOTUS and reversing Bruen will be top priorities.

Gun violenceCitizen disarmament among top issues in DNC Platform [More]
There, I fixed it for them.
Of course, it would help if the geniuses at the GOP hadn’t basically removed RKBA from their platform.

The cracks in Trump’s political dam widened into a steady leak this week after former Rep. Barbara Comstock (R-Va.) announced that she would cast her ballot for Harris in November. [More]
The only conclusion is that Barbara Comstock is a LIAR.
We’ve seen it all before, Astroturf groups funded by elites that ostensibly spoke for ‘reasonable’ gun owners. [More]
It shouldn’t neeed to be explained that both sides can’t be accommodated when their goals are antithetical, and that anyone relying on cognitive dissonance is a gaslighting swindler.
Disarming fair patrons is longstanding and throughout the Republic. [More]
Do you know the rules in your state, and when fair promoters are playing fast and loose with them?
In my attempt to come to an understanding why so many people oppose and resist common sense firearms safety regulations, I have developed a proposition that regulations on firearms challenge the promises of a patriarchal system based on notions of hypermasculinity with the elements taken to the extreme of control, domination over others and the environment, competitiveness, autonomy, rugged individualism, strength, toughness, forcefulness, and decisiveness, and, of course, never having to ask for help or assistance. [More]
As long as he’s taking us there, why does the phrase “Ribbed for HIS pleasure” come to mind?
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has submitted an amicus brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in a case challenging the ATF’s “Final Rule” equating firearms parts kits and gun components with functioning firearms. [More]
Let’s hope they’re right that “the Supreme Court will not allow that to happen.”
“There were too many,” he concludes plainly. There are still too many. It is as simple as that. [More]
Imagine a world without them. Now imagine obnoxious, judgmental, closed-minded, self-righteous, and provincial-in-their-bubbles Becca Rothfeld and Andrew C. McKevitt in that world.
Still, there is useful information here — the early goals of “suburban housewives” prove that “commonsense gun safety laws” are a lie and the object is citizen disarmament with a government monopoly of violence. And the efforts of domestic manufacturers to demand banning cheap foreign competition explains much in how the industry will always put profit over rights.

Ravioli a la Battery Rap Filed In Sibling Beef [More]
Misdemeanor or not, “domestic battery” is a lifetime gun ban, which is just the way NRA President Bob Barr likes it.
The ATF has begun the embarrassing process of returning bump stocks to their original owners after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the agency wrongfully determined they were machineguns, but only if the owners act within 90 days. The ATF sent letters titled “Notice of Opportunity to Request Return of Bump Stock(s) in ATF Custody” last week. They include an address in Washington, D.C. and an email that the former owners can contact to arrange for the return of their property. Once the requests are processed, the letter states, “you will be contacted by someone from the local ATF field office to arrange retrieval of your bump stock(s).” [More]
Just a few days ago agents I spoke with told me they were forfeited.
Left hand/right hand?
