Notes from the Resistance
The judge would have 24 hours to decide on a protection order after a request is filed. If granted, the judge would then have 14 days to set a hearing during which the flagged person would have to prove they do not pose a significant risk. [More]
Time was even a child immediately grasped the tyrannical absurdity of:
Let’s see how many “small dick” rebuttals this gets.

Scott argued he can unify the GOP with a positive, forward-looking message built around a compelling personal story and upbeat demeanor… [More]
I dunno… we’ve already seen some of the Swamp-protecting results of that “Wall Street backing”…
Never forget he picked Lisa Murkowski over Kelly Tshibaka. That and he’s a lying prior restraint/no real due process gun-grabber.
The fat cats want him because they think he’ll be able to diffuse accusations that they’re racists. If they think that’ll faze the Democrats one bit, they’re delusional.
The British government stopped providing security after Harry and his wife, Meghan, quit their royal duties and moved to California in 2020. A lawyer for the government argued in court that it should allow hiring of “police officers as private bodyguards for the wealthy.” Harry has said he doesn’t feel safe visiting Britain with his young children, and has cited aggressive press photographers. [More]
While Wallis Simps…uh…Meghan sucks up to the Demanding Moms…? And since when are we admitting the “gun-safety” realm isn’t safe?
I was all for piling on until I read Harry wants to sic them on the DSM. Now I’m torn.
Still, I keep coming back to Thomas Paine…
Dave Matthews rails against gun violence: ‘No one is coming for your guns’ [More]
Don’t tell us. Tell all the fanatics who say they are.
Nothing helps me make up my mind more than a rich leftist celebrity opinion!

Since assault weapons bans aren’t coming back and AR-15-style rifles are here to stay, the most important thing we can do is modernize the background check system, around which there’s a modicum of bipartisan consensus. [More]
What, you mean the system that the National Institute of Justice says requires registration to be effective, and that criminals won’t subject themselves to anyway…?
Still, nice of him to admit they don’t have the juice to get rid of them. In The New York Times, no less…

This is a belief in authoritarian supremacy and the magic of the badge of the “Only Ones,” like the Pontifical Swiss Guard and Gendarmerie Corps. [More]
Armed guards with state-of-the-art weaponry for them and martyrdom for the rest of us…
Women are buying more guns, though studies suggest self-defense use is rare… A Harvard University analysis found people defended themselves with a gun in less than 1% of crimes from 2007 to 2011. More recently, a Stanford University study of 17.6 million Californians found that people who lived with handgun owners but did not own a gun themselves died by homicide more than twice as often as their gun-free neighbors. [More]
If what they say is true, NRA families must be self-destructing at an astonishing rate.
Somebody at Faux News decided it was important to offset reality by citing “statistics” and talking points from people who want to ban guns. Nothing like assigning such stories to a self-described “cat lady.”
19 shot, 10 fatally, at car rally less than 100 miles from Mexico-US border – Multiple shooters are being sought in the roadside massacre, officials said. [More]
5 Things the Left Does NOT Want You to Know About the 2nd Amendment [More]
I suppose we could all come up with our own list. I’d have added they don’t want you to know it’s an individual right, that it’s the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised, and that “in common use at the time” arms are the ones in common use by police and soldiers as well as by “sportsmen.”

Is it any wonder they’re big on you and me being disarmed?

The far left “OPB” was right. The Democrats, in their zeal for retribution, screwed up. They now have zero leverage. The Senate Republicans have demonstrated amazing courage and selflessness and now the Democrats are wetting themselves. [More]
If you’re an Oregon gun owner, thanking the senators for standing up for rights at no small risk to their own careers is the right thing to do.
And helping them do that this time out were the usual suspects from the Vichycon wing of the GOP, the useful idiot/self-serving swamp creatures who continually prove themselves adept at turning coats and stabbing backs. [More]
Nothing like seeing a “staunch supporter of the Second Amendment” carry the Democrats’ water for them…
Biden pens oped calling for tighter gun laws, ban on AR-15-style weapons [More]
Who thinks he actually wrote it, as opposed to his handlers putting his name on it?
He didn’t even do his own work back before he was senile.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a request to block state and local laws barring the sale of assault-style weapons in Illinois while a group of challenges to those laws continues in the lower courts. There were no dissents publicly recorded from the unsigned order, nor did the justices provide any explanation for their decision. [More]
I’m going to resist reading more into this for now.

Defendants charged with possessing machine gun back on Houston streets [Watch]
If they’re that trustworthy, what’s the problem with them having machine guns?

This country’s gun addiction is fostered not by young Black men but by a far right that is drunk with reactionary fever dreams and visions of race war. [More]
I was just thinking that last weekend while shooting up Baltimore.
We’re told the hateful, self-enamored ignoranus who penned this prejudiced screed is “one of UTNE Reader’s ’50 Visionaries Who Are Changing Our World.’”
If that isn’t the benchmark on what’s of lasting importance, I don’t know what is.
“Youths” are just randomly walking into people’s houses for TikTok fame. [More]
I don’t know where this was taken (UK?), but I have to assume in a place where the assumption is homeowners are not armed.
I’ll bet a parody video showing a justified response would get the poster canceled off more than just social media.

The irony of anti-gun activists relying on armed supporters for their protection raises significant questions about their underlying motives and intentions. [More]
Not for those of us who have been paying attention it doesn’t.
