Notes from the Resistance
US Supreme Court cases: Highest court will not hear Illinois assault weapons ban case [More]
Don’t lose heart. This is just process.
It’s not the “historic win” the gaslighting gasbag Jay Pritzker is claiming.
It is, however, a right delayed.

Gun owners are America’s fastest-growing criminal class. One state after another is enacting “Show us the gun and we’ll find the crime” laws. Judges and politicians are justifying mass disarmament in the name of “freedom from fear” — as if no one will be safe until government controls every trigger. Federal agencies consider all 20+ million marijuana users who own firearms to be felons (unless their last name is Biden). Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden both retroactively outlawed widely-owned firearm accessories, creating new legions of potential jailbirds. At the same time many federal agencies are stockpiling automatic weapons, Biden calls for banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles owned by 50 million Americans. [More]
And as you can see from the other Intolerable Acts presented, it’s not just about RKBA.
That’s the problem with the “single issue” cop-out. Because those doing it know damn well it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.

If you exclude African-American killers from the US crime statistics, our murder rate drops to the middle of the European pack. The left has no answer for this and for political reasons, cannot confront it with destroying a large base of their urban voting block. So they use gun control as a proposed patch to the problem except IT DOESN’T WORK. [More]
That gets back to the elephant in the room too many with influence have feared pointing out.
“We recognize that ‘good moral character’ is a spongy concept susceptible to abuse.” [More]
Like the definition of “pornography“? Or “woman“?
I wonder if a Second Amendment advocate who believes it is a bulwark against domestic tyranny could be disqualified…
And if that would be sufficient to bring a libel suit…

Who better to trust with our gun information than people who want us dead?

…permit to purchase… mandatory … training … government registry… fingerprinting and a waiver of medically protected information… [More]
Just like the Founders used to require.
Or as an old friend of mine once said:
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.

The Biden administration is again holding up the licenses for selling more than 20,000 U.S.-made rifles to Israel over concerns about attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, two U.S. officials told Axios. [More]
There were just testing which excuse to use.

Bonta’s Department of Justice will recognize only three of the eight categories of certified instructor, all three controlled by the State of California: instructors certified under the state Department of Consumer Affairs, the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or a state-accredited school to teach a firearm training course. [More]
Cut back on the instructors you cut back on the permits.
I wonder how many of the “authorized instructors” were first certified by NRA.
So much for sucking up.

White House announces new state-based gun violence initiative. [More]
Sounds like the same old cracked bell with wealth transfers, unattainable objectives, and no results to me…
I guess they’ve got to make it seem like they’re actually doing something.

UPDATE
Looks like subversive “foundations” funded by rope-selling capitalists are “guiding” the treason… [More]

TSA finds anti-aircraft ammunition in bag, evacuates luggage room of Hawaiian airport… The team found a .50-caliber round of anti-aircraft ammunition inside a thermos. [More]
Somebody dig up something from Pearl Harbor? Does it look like somebody wanted an expended souveneir and wrongly figured the metal thermos would shield it from prying overreactors?
Oh, and for those wondering, that’s HNL’s elevation.

With Christmas around the corner and 2023 soon coming to a close, the 2024 New Mexico Legislative Session will be here before we know it. Since handing out coal could create carbon emissions, the Grinch in the Roundhouse is settling for attacking our rights again. [More]
Once more unto the breach…
“These may be the first two lawsuits filed by the Statewide Affirmative Firearms Enforcement office, but they will not be the last,” Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin (D) said in a news conference. “We’re putting everyone else in the gun industry on notice.” [More]
So you deserve to get raped because of that short skirt you wore and how dare you direct citizens to where things are legal…?
This Platkin creature is quite the zealous little fascist. It seems personal.
You know how you can tell he’s lying…?
[Via Jess]
By equating self-defense with murder, this contemptible Feinblatt… thing … obviously would have preferred Trayvon to have beaten George Zimmerman’s skull into the ground until he was dead. The same goes for anyone who uses a gun to keep an attacker from killing them.
There is no limit to these @$$holes’ lies.
If Biden’s motion ultimately prevails, other categories of prohibited persons become vulnerable to challenge, as well as records required to be kept by Federal Firearms Licensees, which themselves have no historical counterpart. The possibilities for reclaiming rights seem boundless. [More]
It would be deliciously ironic if, in saving his own skin, this degenerate saved ours…
I got something you boys could use…
We’re all about patterns here and when I see the ATF put out three different exposes against local, local and then national, one in Tulsa, one in DC, and now Steve Dettelbach on a national network, NBC around how ineffectual the NFA is because of giggle switches or Glock switches, there’s a hidden motive, I’m telling you, something’s up. [Watch]
Good catch.
Thing is, the NFA has always been ineffective.

To amend chapter 44 of title 18, United States Code, to prohibit the distribution of 3D printer plans for the printing of firearms, and for other purposes. [More]
It’s those “other purposes” I’m interested in.
Boy, that’s a lot of traitors.
Eh… “1% chance of being enacted…”
Besides, the genie’s out of the bottle. And we will not disarm.
So, you might ask, what gun control did the anti-gun politicians in Congress try to sneak into this year’s bill? The answer is a permanent reauthorization of the Undetectable Firearms Act. [More]
Fortunately, GOA detected it.
Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denies motion for en banc hearing of challenge against Illinois’ gun and magazine ban. “No judge in regular active service has requested a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc, and all members of the original panel have voted to deny panel rehearing,” the docket said Monday. “The petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc is therefore DENIED.” [More]
Will this be a catalyst for SCOTUS?
“Let me just state unequivocally, the public health order has been in effect three months and it’s working,” the governor said at Monday’s press conference. [More]
So how many of those arrests were ordinary concealed carriers caught up in the order, as opposed to known troublemakers? And how many of the arrested will be back on the street for Christmas?
