Notes from the Resistance
This week will determine if there’s a compromise to be made on Capitol Hill to attempt to prevent gun violence or if this round of talks will end up in an overflowing trash can of failed attempts. [More]
Translation: This week will determine if there’s a betrayal to be made on Capitol Hill to attempt to impose citizen disarmament…
It’s almost like DSM “real reporters” have an agenda or something…
WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott Jensen wants some answers from people who don’t dare give them:
Banning assault weapons looks like ‘big action,’ but isn’t ‘big impact’: Oklahoma attorney general [More]
The confiscation phase is where you’ll see the big impact.
Worldwide study: fewer guns mean fewer gun deaths [More]
Funny. Peter Squires says nothing about this.
I stand ready to vote on ALL the proposals mentioned by President Biden tonight and encourage the Democratic Leader to bring them forward for votes. [More]
Just let them come to the floor without invoking Senate Rule 26?

So, we have two guys who started their career into the gun control lobbying “lobby”, that work tirelessly to create a whole new class of criminals (gun owners) if we don’t follow the laws they help get enacted, and they previously worked hard to get ACTUAL criminals breaks and treat them as victims themselves. [More]
It’s almost like they’re domestic enemies who want to destroy Western civilization or something…

“You know who didn’t have due process? You know who didn’t have their constitutional right to life respected? The kids at Parkland and Sandy Hook and Uvalde and Buffalo and the list goes on and on.” “So spare me the bulls**t about constitutional rights-” [More]
So “Billy’s mom lets him do it”?
And how did denying others their rights work out for him?
Folks have had their fill of being targeted by the very federal government they pay for. This cannot prevail for much longer. [More]
I found this comment worth up-voting and sharing.
Might such overt pressure from the very top be construed as creating a hostile working environment for employees who hold different political views? Might expressing those views be reasonably considered career and advancement-limiting, and might not expressing any political views on the taxpayers’ dime, by either side, be considered inappropriate and unethical, especially when coming from management that controls employee reviews? [More]
It’s the moral equivalent of requiring a “bullet fee” from the family of the condemned, and those imposing it get off on that.
UPDATE:
Why did the USDA buy submachine guns? [More]
“Weapons of war”? The better to kill you with, my dear!

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, today urged all Americans to contact their members of Congress to support the adoption of the gun safety reform measure, “Protecting Our Kids Act,” H.R. 7910. [More]
I’ll keep that in mind.
SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION FILES LEGAL CHALLENGE TO WA MAGAZINE BAN [More]
The state has unlimited resources. Who thinks forcing tapped-out citizens to go chasing one infringement after another is what the Founders had in mind?

House Dem declares gun control will happen even if it means abolishing filibuster or expanding Supreme Court [More]
I wonder when Republicans are going to get savvy about denying committee quorums…

The devil being in the details, “due process” can mean different things, with not all “hearings” providing the same legal safeguards as a jury trial. And that raises questions of concern that haven’t been spelled out. [More]
Anybody who thinks that this squares with “Shall not be infringed” is nuts.
Dem Senator Pushes For ATF To Be ‘Beyond The Influence And Grip Of The Gun Lobby’ [Watch]
That would be every one of us who seeks peaceable redress through organizing.
So millions of gun owners won’t have a voice? No more campaigns to petition lawmakers about abuses? And who needs Rules comments?
Think through what this self-serving serial lying maniac is proposing.
And as one NRA member observed…

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said next week she will bring forward legislation to ban military-style assault weapons, as the chamber moves to address gun violence. [More]
It’s interesting watching how they can’t control their obsession to control.
Looks like a line in the sand to me…
I wonder how many others feel that way.

If a state passes legislation limiting now extant gun-ownership rights, and that state includes one or more native American Indian reservations where a majority of the registered members remain attached to their traditional gun-ownership rights and they refuse to comply with the new laws …. Do you advocate sending in the U.S. Marshal to make arrests and to seize their guns? [More]
I expect conquered people condemned to government dependency and self-interested tribal power players to continue voting for their oppressors by a landslide.

Say No to a National ‘Red Flag’ Law [More]
What I picked up before being stopped by the paywall: National Review wants infringements done by the states.

The bills would raise the minimum age to purchase a semiautomatic rifle to 21 years old from 18, prohibit the purchase of body armor for anyone not eligible (NY tried to ban it last year), require a license to buy a semiautomatic rifle, eliminate grandfathering of large-capacity ammunition feeding devices (otherwise known as extended magazines), strengthen the Red Flag law, and require new pistols to include microstamping technology for tracing. [More]
And when none of those work…
[Via bondmen]
Mass shooters overwhelmingly fit a certain profile, say Jillian Peterson and James Densley, which means it’s possible to ID and treat them before they commit violence. [More]
Fine, but in all their Department of Precrime advocacy, they’re a little light on full due process and still seem trapped in the mindset that passing edicts against tool possession will stop a determined maniac.

City of Baltimore Files Lawsuit Against Ghost Gun Manufacturer Polymer80 [More]
I don’t suppose suing the City of Baltimore for chronic corruption that makes violent crime inevitable is on anybody’s agenda…?

Brooklyn subway shooting victim sues Glock for ‘recklessly’ marketing guns [More]
I’m wondering when one of these companies is going to countersue for legal costs and whatever else they can think up, including getting parasite lawyers censured for frivolous complaints.
What does it take to file a bar complaint against them?
