Notes from the Resistance
The 80% Coalition is non-partisan and is comprised of advocacy, business, education, faith-based, professional and service organizations committed to pushing back against hate and urging our legislators at the state and federal levels to pass commonsense gun violence prevention legislation. [More]
I see a lot of “faith” organizations claiming tax-exempt status in there…

Schumer vows to force vote on gun control legislation after Memorial Day recess [More]
With Graham, Collins, Toomey, and Cassidy parlaying under a white flag, I guess we’ll see how badly Republican want a “red wave.”
Also of interest, look at the amount of attention the media is devoting to what this ever-treasonous, on-his-way-out GOP loser thinks.
Hernandez, who describes himself as a “once undocumented” immigrant and has previously run for Congress, continues to argue with Cruz as security gets involved and tells him to “back up.” [More]
Askandi, who’s Mexican American, attended the protest with her son, who’s also Persian American, because she said she’s become afraid after gunmen targeted people of color in Buffalo, N.Y., less than two weeks ago and in El Paso in 2016. [More]
So they came here with the understanding of the role of government they were indoctrinated with, and now want to impose what they fled on the people who took them in.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …
Fabricated image falsely claims Senator Ted Cruz has shared the same message about shootings a dozen times, fact-checkers say [More]
Even if he had, so what? There’s only one truth and it’s not like the grabbers don’t exploit these things with the exact same lies each time.
LULAC calls on Congress to pass legislation raising the age to 21 for persons to buy military assault high capacity weapons … The moment is now for Congress to pass the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue“!

Fears of a Chinese invasion have Taiwanese civilians taking up target practice [More]
Just not with anything that would work.
I hope a country that won’t let its own people defend themselves doesn’t expect anyone else to…

Democrats, we don’t need to concern ourselves with, at least for now—assume they’re all for whatever disarmament edicts they can get whenever they can get them. It’s the Republicans gun owners need to focus on, and there are few surprises here… [More]
Betraying gun owners and drowning the fire in their bellies will break up the anticipated wave before it hits the shore.
“Assault rifles should at minimum require a special permit, where the recipient is extremely well-vetted IMO,” the Tesla CEO replied. Musk reiterated that he supports “tight background checks” for all gun sales… [More]
Ain’t no rich savior coming. Wishing for one weakens.
Dem Rep Escobar: ‘Just Like We Regulate Vehicles and Cigarettes’ and Alcohol, We Should ‘Regulate Guns’ So People ‘Don’t Live in Fear’ [More]
You know, “dirty, deadly, and banned“…

There are several here who fit the definition of “Sick Son of a Bitch” in this picture, but none go by the name of Beto. Look instead at the freaks who keep gutting gun laws so 18 year olds can buy weapons designed for war to go into schools and slaughter babies. THAT is sick. [More]

If there’s a silver lining – or a “hoist with [her] own petard” ending to this, it’s that Brown is now a felon and prohibited by “law” from owning a gun for the rest of her life. [More]
You wouldn’t expect a criminal who knows she’s untrustworthy to trust others.
Call it what it is — ‘permitless carry’ [More]
Been saying that myself for some time. There are still plenty of intolerable infringements.
As for the rest of the non sequitur hysteria, what else wold se expect from a MILM getting free publicity in a USA Today/Gannett Publication?…

A quarrel over policy between Nye County commissioners and judges with the Fifth Judicial District Court has now led to a unanimous vote by the board to move the district courts and relocate them to their own dedicated buildings. The decision stems from an order … that states no weapons are allowed in any courthouse facility. [More]
Yeah, it’s a “win,” but without addressing security to and from, it seems like they’re just relocating the gauntlet…

But this “guns first” approach ignores a basic fact – over 92% of violent crimes in America do not involve firearms. Although Biden blames guns for the increase in violent crime, the latest data show that gun crimes fell dramatically. [More]
It’s almost like they have a hidden agenda or something…

MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace asks why the Left doesn’t come out with ‘more laws about illegal guns’ [More]
What did we just get done noting about “real reporters”?

The mass shooting is being used to promote gun control and censorship. For those of us who criticize U.S. immigration policy, this is a concern. [More]
“According to witnesses, the suspect was walking back and forth in the same train car and without provocation, pulled out a gun and fired it at the victim at close range,” the chief said. [
