Notes from the Resistance
Parkland (MSD shooting) father minimizes Trump getting shot and mocks him [More]
My guess is he was an @$$hole before his tragedy.
I’m sorry for his horrible and unimaginable loss, but it’s not my fault. My natural human sympathy does not mean I will remain passive when he and other surviving family members attack my right to protect myself and my loved ones.
An attacker’s motivation never outweighs my right to repel him.

There’s a universal law of nature that no amount of prohibitionist gaslighting can deny, at least to people capable of recognizing truth: Predators prefer easy prey. [More]

Why Americans Should Consider Giving Up Their Guns: 18 Good Reasons [More]
I’m fortunate to be included in an email group that includes some names you’ve heard of and no shortage of topnotch 2A attorneys. One, Don Kilmer, offered this reply and is allowing me to share it:
Turns out this was an assignment for 14 year old retarded girls. List 18 reasons to give up guns, and then explain why you should have a rainbow colored unicorn pony.
And lest anyone get their triggered butthurt on:
Besides, I’m for rehabilitating the word “retarded.” To me, it always meant people capable of intelligent thought, who refuse to be smart, and have therefore retarded their brain.
The poor souls who are born with intellectual disabilities are not retarded, they are doing the best they can with what God gave them.

Let those who can’t be trusted without a custodian set the bar for allowable public gatherings… while those who can’t protect you won’t allow you to protect yourself.
And keep voting Democrat!

How Second Amendment Radicals Are Attacking Laws Meant to Keep Firearms Out of the Wrong Hands [More]
In other words, how patriots are resisting infringements on the right to keep and bear arms and the evisceration of due process…

“I first became worried about the bullet in my mother’s head two days after she died,” writer Ryan Nourai begins his piece with. “I was afraid the bullet was going to explode.”
“I did not see Scoggins during the hearing,” he recalls about watching parole proceedings for one of the assailants. “I asked my husband to cover that part of the computer screen with a sticky note. I sometime worried my hand would somehow jump to the mouse and move his face into my view… I wondered if he saw my mom’s eyes in my own. I hope he saw them, blazing and forgiving and half of me.”
What can I say but “Esquire” ?
The ones who “actually do want to take your guns.”
Bring sticky notes, fellas…
The Second Amendment Foundation and National Rifle Association have filed an amicus brief with the Massachusetts Supreme Court in support of a New Hampshire man who is challenging the Massachusetts permit law. [More]

Pursuant to Rule 29 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the States of New York, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawai‘i, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin, and the District of Columbia submit this brief as amici curiae in support of the appellee, the United States of America, and ask this Court to reaffirm the constitutionality of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a)(3), which makes it unlawful to transfer or receive a firearm from out of state, except through a federally licensed firearms dealer, importer, or manufacturer.

What “infringemwent”? This is “commnonsense safety.”
So, just the Second Amendment or does the rest of the Bill of Rights threaten “exercis[ing] their police power,” too…?

Today, attorneys for Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) filed a merits-stage Respondents’ brief with the United States Supreme Court in FPC’s Garland v. VanDerStok lawsuit challenging ATF’s “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms” Rule. FPC’s brief, available at FPCLaw.org, explains why the government’s Rule cannot survive scrutiny and must fail. [More]

The revelation that Washington State, for the first time in history, has more than 700,000 active concealed pistol licenses is proof the public is concerned about personal and community safety, and will be an issue in this year’s statewide elections, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms is predicting. [More]
Anybody expecting armed Dems to change their vote?
A challenge against Maryland’s gun ban is likely to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court before gun ban challenges from other states. [More]
Sadly, all the high court has to do to let it stand is nothing.
If they do hear it, it will be a game-changer, but it will still leave the more fundamentally destructive NFA and Hughes Amendment in play.
Then there are the questions of when will they hear such a case, and who will be in power and appointing justices?

Surprising no one, I trust…?
See, there are two different missions here that only occasionally converge when it’s convenient for them. Think Wallace on the field while the Lairds strike their own deals with Longshanks.

Gun owners have taken the first step toward putting before Massachusetts voters a proposal to repeal the firearms law signed on July 25 by Gov. Maura Healey, a statute the governor called the “most significant gun safety legislation in a decade.” [More]
Yeah, about that…
If “we” lose in November, that zone will expand.

“He’s not going to take your guns away. He just wants commonsense gun safety legislation.” [6:45]
That’s what every Democrat who wants to take your guns away says.
The interviewers never know enough to stop these lying bastards in their tracks. Or do and don’t want to.
Also unexplored is what Walz told NRA to get their endorsement. People with sincere, core knowledge-based freedom principles don’t abandon them in favor of emotion-based demands for coercive prohibitions against allies they’d pledged allegiance to. A release of his questionnaire would be instrumental in showing just how much the guy is willing to lie for political power. [More]
It’s not the first time Walz campaigned in a camo hat. Any Fudd kapo dumb enough to vote for this fraud deserves to have his guns taken away.

This is a small but concrete example that we still have at our disposal the remarkable system bequeathed to us by the Founders and that we can still use the courts to our advantage, as frustratingly drawn out as that process can be. We won’t be able to do that anymore if apathy and cynicism turn into a self-fulfilling prophecy that cedes the power to appoint the federal judiciary to the Democrats, who will then be able to have the Bruen opinion reversed and any citizen disarmament edict they pass upheld. [More]
As long as we can still score wins by peaceable means you can’t legitimately say voting is useless. Don’t let a self-fulfilling prophecy make this the election that changes that.
Trump asked at Mar-A-Lago presser if his view on AR-15 has changed following assassination attempt [48:43]
It’s about more than personal protection and I don’t believe the “Chicago has the toughest gun laws” assumption still stands.
I cannot stress stongly enough, Gun Owners for Trump need his ear. If they’re just there for show and he’s going to keep knee-jerking because he knows best, we won’t have a president who actually understands why “shall not be infringed” are the most important words for government to heed.
