Notes from the Resistance
In summary, the government, assisted by gun prohibitionists—incarnated in authoritarian Democrat legislators, biased public health researchers, and the liberal media—has sought and continues to pursue the objective of disarming law-abiding citizens in piecemeal fashion. [More]

When are you @$$holes gonna stop hiding DGUs? And admit that yes, you want to take our guns and everything else is just preparatory incremental smoke and mirrors…?

Farrant gave evidence that the shooting began at 1:40 p.m. at the Al Noor mosque … The gunman was caught by police at around 2 p.m. [More]
That’s an excellent response time. And utterly useless at stopping the carnage.
What’s the one thing that could have?
So naturally, the communists in charge made the proles even more helpless.

“There’s no reasonable excuse to have a knife in public – they are dangerous, they can be used to harm other people,” Queensland Police Minister Mark Ryan said. [Watch]
Same goes for guns unless they’re carried by his enforcers.

One way to keep a balking population in line is through the time-tested method of tyrants – cowing it into submission by making a highly publicized example of prominent members, which the J6 “uprising” at the Capitol more than provided. And no one was more high-profile in Oath Keepers than founder Stewart Rhodes, sentenced to 18 years in prison for “seditious conspiracy” and “obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings.” [More]
Part Three wraps up my series on why those in power are bent on utterly destroying the one concept that could render them powerless: Enforcers learning they have the power and the duty to say “No.”
As predicted by the Four Boxes Diner, in a 2-1 decision the US Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit— via a opinion by judges Wood and Easterbrook— have upheld Illinois’s “assault weapon” ban. However there is a strong dissent here. This decision is no shock to Four Boxes Diner viewers because as I explained before, in my view, Judge Wood and Judge Easterbrook are unserious jurists on 2A issues and this was a given outcome (unfortunate and frustrating, yes, but entirely predictable).

Meanwhile, over in Fantasy Land…
N—a wanted to carry a gun in the Wild West. Not on my watch haha… Think I give a f–k what y’all n–s think?!???? I’ll shoot you too!!!!! [More]
Remind you of anybody…? The oinker not only didn’t get canned after that but he got promoted (pg. 3)
And I never did find out what happened to the double-tappers…
U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing or receiving a firearm.

I can’t wait for him to flesh out his enforcement plan.
What we need to know (for now):
5 Cosponsors (5 Democrats)

Cargill v. Garland [More]
Whether a bump stock device is a “machinegun” as defined in 26 U.S.C. § 5845(b) because it is designed and intended for use in converting a rifle into a machinegun, i.e., into a weapon that fires “automatically more than one shot … by a single function of the trigger.”
Guess what that will determine.
Right, she just wants to protect us. [More]
Because we’re not very bright.

“It’s a dark and dangerous time for Jews right now,” Panitch, who is the only Jewish American lawmaker in the Georgia legislature, said. “I’ve heard from people in the community who are afraid who have talked about other types of self-defense, including firearms,” Panitch said. “I have upgraded my weapons training as a result of what’s going on.

And Georgia’s Democrat Jews, along with “Look at her– she’s one of us!” gun owners, are slaves to identity politics enough to believe this kapo fraud?

Then there’s this:
And then we scan them, right? But as far as I know, we are the only customer of Adobe Acrobat that actually pays extra money to have search capability taken out of that software.
I see some influencers treating this like a newly admitted database violation “Gotcha.” I must not be grokking something because this has been out there for years:
How can a database be “non-searchable”? Trick question: The system can’t really be considered a database. (There is a reason the ATF uses the phrase “data systems” instead). There is no ability to search the text of a file, and no effort is made to tag files with identifiers that could later be used to sort and search. “We compare it to an electronic card catalog system, where records are digitally imaged, but not optimized for character recognition,” ATF spokesman Corey Ray says.
Am I completely missing a point?
