Notes from the Resistance
An American was sentenced Tuesday to four years in jail in Russia for allegedly trying to fly out of an airport in Moscow with the stocks of Kalashnikov assault rifles in his suitcase, a report said. [More]
Because they’re otherwise so expensive and hard to come by…
A quote misattributed to John Wayne comes to mind.
What we’re seeing is a practical repeat of what the anti-gunners and their media amplifiers were telling the American public prior to “Gunwalker” in an attempt to swindle them out of their rights… [More]
It’s déjà vu all over again.
And candidly, what you see in states such as Virginia and New Mexico and Colorado, the new Johnny come latelys, will not cease to stop until the United States Supreme Court finally shows it has a backbone, puts its foot down, and once and for all defends the common use doctrine. [Watch]
No post-’86 full autos or new technological developments exclusively reserved for the standing army for you, militia.
Like Ballot Measure 114—which this bill modifies—HB 4145 will put countless Oregonians at risk of jail time if they cannot prove they acquired standard magazines before a date that even the lawyers are not sure of. Keep in mind, no matter what you have been told, it is impossible to prove when you acquired a magazine. Any “affirmative defense” is an illusion. [More]
Sounds like it’s time for some enterprising manufacturer to date stamp mags before then and open a shop across the Idaho border.
H.R.7166 – Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act of 2026 [More]
I’m not sure how much of the hysteria I see being ginned up right now is just for clicks, but let’s keep things in perspective:
Of course, that could change…
BFA testifies for SB 278 to permit monetary, punitive damages against cities with gun control [More]
The trouble is it’s ultimately paid for by the productive sector which typically doesn’t vote for Democrats. Personally, I’d like to see public canings, but I understand these things are done incrementally…
If “in common use” had been the understanding at the time of ratification, there’d have been a case that could be made against breech loaders and cartridges. [More]
Adamiak remains behind bars, guiltless but ignored by the Trump Administration [More]
No worries. The DOW is over 50,000 right now.
The unidentified man, who is a French national born in 1978, allegedly tried to attack an officer guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and was shot by another officer. [More]
Why is he unidentified, and why is it also important to point out he’s a “French national” without telling us his origins and what kind of terrorism he aligned with?
Good thing he attacked cops and not mere citizens, though.
HB 4145, the Democrat’s latest attack on gun rights, is scheduled for a “work session” on Monday. Feb. 16th at 3pm. Rumors that the bill is dead are… premature. [More]
The monster will just keep coming back.
* And yeah, I know it’s a misquote.
BREAKING NEWS! DOJ FILES AWFUL NFA BRIEF FULL OF FLAWS [More]
I’m not buying the qualified “criticism” that gives excuses to the attorneys and to DOJ for “miscommunication.” Coming up with a unified position on 2A ain’t rocket surgery, and if they don’t have they brainpower to do it, that makes deliberately excluding subject matter expert advisors all the more inexcusable.
I’m waiting for a hear-no-evil Trump apologist to claim it’s brilliant 3D chess to advance arguments you know you’re going to lose.

CTRL+PEW Sues California in Federal Court Over 3D-Printed Gun Files [More]
Who else aims to misbehave?

Maybe it’s time to stop dousing the fire in gun owner bellies, especially with top administration officials making inane comments that spit in the faces of Second Amendment activists — the very people Republicans need to win. [More]
In what reality is making core constituents feel like they’re being used smart politics?
Only one House Dem voted in favor of voter ID, proof of citizenship in US elections [More]
Gee, it’s almost like they have an ulterior motive…
Funny, how the number 213 keeps coming up with Democrats.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”!
Under the settlement, the company must cease all sales of the MA Lock in New York, “remove any statements that claim the MA Lock is legal in New York, state on all packaging that the MA Lock cannot be sold or resold in New York, and notify all businesses currently selling the MA Lock that the product is not to be sold or resold to individuals and/or businesses in New York.” [More]
Did they also give up their customers?
For the first time in California history, this proposal would require mandatory state-approved training, including live-fire shooting and at least eight hours of instruction, just to BUY a firearm — not carry it, not use it, but to own it. [Watch]
And challenges by gun owners who must scrape together legal costs will go on for years and years and years, which is part of the plan.
[Via Jess]
Pretty good summation.
I could offer some “Yeah, buts…” to some of the “pro-gun” points, but overall fall back on two contentions I constantly make:
The administration, left on its own, is bipolar, and the Task Force and gun voters would benefit greatly from independent subject matter expert advisors.
Three contentions, actually: Those of us pointing out the disconnects are motivated by not wanting to see Trump blow it, which will allow the communi… Democrats to take over, and anyone calling for our heads for that is wearing their red MAGA cap too tight.
