Notes from the Resistance
All the critics need to do to prove this wrong is to come up with numbers that credibly refute those given. [More]
You can’t rebut contentions by avoiding them. It’s past time this argument was more widely noticed in the “pro-gun community.”
An embattled lawmaker facing five decades in prison will face the congressional spotlight Thursday during an ethics trial that could result in her expulsion from the House of Representatives. [More]
Wayne Pacelle, the disgraced anti-hunting activist who previously resigned following sexual harassment allegations and a grifter who was once head of the anti-hunting group Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), is at it again. He’s now camouflaging himself as a hunting supporter, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. And he’s doing it to ban the use of traditional ammunition. He’s not pro-hunting. He’s not even for animal rights. He’s a Washington, D.C., beltway hack who took his show on the road. [More]
Been warning gun owners about such frauds for years…
Keep voting Democrat, Fudds. I guess you well-heeled ones can afford it.
If you give up on a state completely, that means all the money Bloomberg was dumping into it can go to a different one to do the same thing. Why even if it appears hopeless, you don’t quit or abandon anywhere. [More]
Having fought the fight in California for decades and seeing what the few who push back have to endure, I’ve always tried to remind snarky gun owners who live in safer climes (for now) that wishing for it to fall into the ocean is hardly constructive, and how the troops on the front lines are the ones who need our support the most.

IF YOU’RE TRAVELING TO THE CARIBBEAN, KNOW THAT IT IS ILLEGAL TO IMPORT OR EXPORT FIREARMS OR AMMUNITION TO OR FROM ANY CARICOM: CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY MEMBER STATES UNLESS YOU HAVE A FIREARM IMPORT LICENSE OR A FIREARM EXPORT LICENSE GRANTED BY THE APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY (SUCH AS THE COMMISSIONER OF POLICE).
I rode on LA’s metro — it was a hellscape of disturbing acts, violence and drugs [More]
But…but…but “safe for everyone“…

Virginia Dems’ Gun Control Blitzkrieg Should be a Warning to Gun Owners Nationwide [More]
It should have been a warning before the election.
Who thinks the necessary coordination and participation we didn’t see at the state level will manifest itself nationwide to thwart gerrymandering?
Andy M. points out that some of my critics will not be happy with Mark W. Smith saying this (7:40 in):
[We] really need for a whole bunch of reasons including to continue to push that most important issue which is even which is the most important issue when it comes to our second amendment right to keeps and that is the immigration issue kicking out the people shouldn’t be here. kicking out the people that may be illegally voting, kicking out the people that have no interest in the right to
keep and bear arms.
I’m working on a rebuttal to their deliberate, and often hostile avoidance of the facts. I’m delighted to see a much more influential voice than mine picking up this banner, and will make sure to cite this in my sequel to this.

Who thinks Reza want to change that?

What law, short of an outright ban on gun ownership and the rounding up of hundreds of millions of firearms, would have stopped that from taking place? [More]
Shhh! They’re not ready to admit that yet.

Florida Lawmakers Move to Allow ‘Guardians’ to Carry Guns on College Campuses [More]
I never did care for the sheepdog analogy, expecting someone else to take risks on my behalf that I’m not willing to assume myself. That’s what got us into their “Only Ones” mess in the first place.
As for me being one, I’m with Rick Blaine.
And as for listening to Sen. Carlos Guillermo Smith, I’m not about to take self-defense advice from a man who can’t even protect his own husband.

Judge Blocks Lawyer’s Distribution of Animation That Allegedly Shows “Uncommanded Discharge” of Sig Sauer Pistol – “This Animation is literally false as a factual matter,” the judge concludes, issuing a permanent injunction against the use of the animation for advertising purposes. [More]
What is it with “artists” getting technical details wrong?
And switching gears, a typo I made when putting in a tag came up with a neologism:

The crowd greeted Albanese and Tony Burke, the home affairs minister, by calling them “genocide supporters” and “putrid dog.” They even chant “Allahu Akbar.” [More]
So this is what happens when useful idiots are no longer needed…?
Albanese… Albanese… isn’t he the fella who wants all his countrymen’s guns?

Oh, look: False authority. Lemme show you what I mean.
Meet self-identified Korea/Vietnam vet Paul A. Ransom, who “expertly” informs us:
The explosive in a bullet is the same as the explosive in a bomb. Just a smaller amount. Bombs are under tight control. Bombs can be purchased, but not without the proper credentials. We as American citizens have the right to bare arms, but nothing in the Constitution gives us the right to have a bomb or bullets.
Remember who one of our greatest “war heroes” once was.

Why are residents being charged multiple fees not authorized by law? Why are residents being charged at all when the County is already paying for the system? Why is confidential firearm data being handled by a private company? And who is ensuring compliance with Hawaiʻi statutes? [More]
And why is such a “public/private partnership” not referred to by it’s true name?
They are literally asking the court to grant the district’s motion
without even allowing Benson to be heard on that. [More]
Can’t let a vindicated man have his say, now can we?

Armed with military-grade weapons smuggled from the U.S., the 50-man force is one of dozens of “autodefensa,” or “self-defense,” groups that have emerged over the past decade in Mexico to fight increasingly sophisticated cartels in areas far out of the reach of security forces. [More]
Which FFL are they getting them from?
And just to show there are two sides to every story:
We Traced How U.S. Guns Get to Mexican Cartels [More]
How come commie Antifa/No Kings types never come after cartels? Are the defenders worth siding with? Let God sort ’em out?
American guns fueling Mexican violence, so we need to curtail rights here? This looks like just what the media narrative was before all hell broke loose.

For a misdemeanor charge of possessing 38 rounds of ammo without an FOID card? This is how regimes enforce “commonsense gun safety laws”? Even those that are dominated by “law-and-order Republicans”?
Those are some heavy duty “military style” assault vehicles the standing army sheriff sent out for that. It brings to mind a question I asked some years back about how the Battle of Athens would go today.

“It’s the most profound thing I’ve literally ever heard,” one TikTok user said. [More]
A line from “Deteriorata” comes to mind:

…we need to take guns out of the hands of young people out of, you know, what’s the expression? Common sense gun laws, you know, I mean, that is it no-brainer…
