Notes from the Resistance
St. Louis suspect seen calmly loading gun, shooting homeless man execution style in broad daylight [More]
No worries.
The St. Louis Police Chief is meeting with clergy to “talk about crime” and “the St. Louis safety committee worked with the city police … to spread awareness about gun safety.”
Throw in a tax-funded youth mentoring program or two, and problem solved!
“New York has once again adopted a law we believe is unconstitutional, and we’re confident the federal court will bring an end to this nonsense. It’s time for lawmakers in Albany to stop trying to outsmart the U.S. Supreme Court.” [More]
I think what they’re doing is much more insidious than that.
They have tax cows they can milk for legal war chest funds, all the while depleting their victims’ resources to fight back. And they’re counting on extending things in the courts long enough for the Republicans to blow it yet again, so the Democrats can stack the court and reverse Bruen.
Today, the Governor held a press conference to promote her anti-gun and anti-freedom agenda. But her displeasure at the tabling of SB171 yesterday was noticeable, so she is doubling down on pushing for her slate of anti-gun bills. As a result, two bills were scheduled late today for hearings tomorrow. [More]
Meaning today. Zoom links included.
A handful of House and Senate bills are beginning to work their way through the state’s legislative process, as the Ohio Legislature’s 135th General Assembly gets underway. The first three, as currently written, would reduce firearms regulations and expand Second Amendment rights. [More]
Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in testifying for SB 150 * stated, “I’m a staunch opponent of open carry. We don’t need open carry in Florida. I don’t think that it serves a good purpose for Florida.” [More]
Because then they’d be able to do what WE do…?
That’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, sheriff…
NY 2A Defendant Admits to US Federal Appeals Court that New Gun Law Violates 2A [More]
And he didn’t fall on his knees and beg forgiveness?
UPDATE
I just got the related alert from SAF. It’s not on their News page at this posting, so I copied and pasted the email on my Placeholder site.
Seems the DA didn’t want to be left hanging on defending the indefensible.
Old Racist Gun Laws Enter Modern-Day Legal Battles – Government lawyers reluctantly cite historical laws that kept guns from Blacks, Native Americans and Catholics [More]
The only reluctance is in being exposed for what they are. That and admitting that over the citizens they really want to disarm, the Founders intended for them to be powerless to infringe.

How lumping the good in with the bad and the healthy in with the troubled, ignoring politically inconvenient realities, and mandating increased restrictions on the fundamental rights of all demonstrates excellence, dignity, and respect is not explained. Such “equity” seems a curious way of saying “Thank you for your service.” [More]
Is a politically self-serving report that ignores the basics and tells servicemembers they’re not trusted really the best way to help those in serious pain and immediate need?
Gun licensing and permit-to-purchase legislation, even just for handguns, have been effective, too, Abt said. With those laws, “we have good evidence to show reduced gun violence across the board,” Abt said. [More]
Prove it.
Be prepared to show how either of those substantially affects criminal decisions and impacts a black market in any way.

Where Can You Carry a Gun? Whiplash Court Rulings Create Confusion. [More]
Where can criminals carry guns?
Are Guns The New “Golden Calf”? [More]
And here I thought they were penis compensators.
It figures the Newsraper of Record is driving this,
Who are the ones erecting “faith” statues?
This is projection by those who reject reason and rely on government-worshiping zealots, pure and simple.
That and they’re counting on what government does to armed “apostates.”

Katy Perry Sobs Over School Shooting Victim’s Heartbreaking ‘American Idol’ Audition: “Our Country Has F***ing Failed Us!” [More]
See, Katy just feels more than the rest of us.
THIS is the sub-machine gun seized in Bradford that a trial has been told was manufactured using a 3D printer. [More]
“Majeeb,” eh?
And “imprinted on the plastic is an image of an arm holding a curved sword with what appears to be blood dripping from the sword”…?
Sounds like they have a bigger problem than a gun…
On a tangentially-related note, this blog comes highly recommended. I haven’t had time to see if I agree, so I leave that to you who do.

Hey @EvanHafer what’s goin on at @blckriflecoffee bud 🤣🤣🤣 Your accountant outshot you in a competition so you proceeded to try and sexually humiliate him because he’s a mormon with more moderate attitude towards sex? [More]
That’s not the only grievance, and if true, it adds new meaning to “Chock full o’ Nuts.”

This week marks the halfway point in the 2023 legislative session. “Crossover” refers to the transfer of bills between the House of Representatives and the Senate. All House bills that have survived the committee process will now be considered by the Senate while all Senate bills that are still in play are headed to the House. Then the process starts all over again! [More]
Let’s hope support by gun owners isn’t half-hearted, especially with the swing to the Democrats in Arizona.
So far, 6,278 people have been died from gun violence this year in the U.S… [More]
What further proof do we need that the First Amendment should only apply to “real reporters”?
Five shot, 2 dead after celebration of life event in Minnesota [More]
This marks the second shooting in St. Paul in the past two days. On Friday evening, three teen boys were wounded in a drive-by shooting during a funeral reception for a 15-year-old boy who had been fatally stabbed at a St. Paul high school earlier this month.
If only they would disarm you and me…
Meanwhile, Carter said the city has many problems, including the crime surge that briefly made the city the nation’s murder capital for most homicides per capita before being unseated by Jackson, Mississippi, at the end of 2022. [More]
With about three weeks to go in the 2023 Legislative Session, none of the bills we are watching were heard in committee or were voted on in a floor session. However, that will change next week. [More]
Meaning this week, since I didn’t get this until I’d tucked the blog in for the weekend…
I joined 97Percent because they are a gun safety organization taking a different approach to this seemingly intractable issue. [More]
The kinder, gentler citizen disarmers.
Divide and conquer is hardly a different approach. Like all “progressive” ideas, it’s a dusting off of an old ruse relying on apparatchiks and useful idiots to draw the suckers in.
Not to mention make a buck.
There’s never been a shortage of gunkapos presenting themselves as Gun Culture 2.0.
WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M. sent me a couple more examples that are a few months old but timely in regard to this:
