Notes from the Resistance
Where is that plan of action that was due 30 days after the President’s Executive Order, Protecting Second Amendment Rights, dated February 7, 2025? Where is the DOJ on these grave violations of Americans’ gun rights? Why is the subversion of our Constitution so commonplace that lawmakers feel free to adopt infringements from countries that do not recognize a God-given right to defend life and liberty from tyranny?

Harmeet needs to up her game.
This created a dilemma for Hawaii’s gun owners, the post explained, because it “left residents seeking lawful training with no independent way to confirm who was approved.” [More]
Catch-22…
Breaking Down Virginia With NRA-ILA Executive Director John Commerford [More]
How did it all break down in the first place?
[A]s Bruen explained, larger, open places like cities, sidewalks, and parks cannot be considered sensitive places because it would effectively nullify the Second Amendment right to categorically exclude them from its coverage. [More]
Thanks for throwing your fellow gun-grabbers under the public transit bus!
Now acknowledge that even with closed space “protection,” “it’s”Only Ones” who claimed credit for stopping attacks have been reported to be hiding while a citizen subdued the attacker, and then there’s the not insignificant matter of making it to or from the “sensitive area” in one piece.

California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves [More]
That report on you…
I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen legislation that abrogates so many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights in one edict.
But…but…but it’s for the greater good…

The delay came after Miranda Viscoli, executive director of New Mexicans to Prevent Gun Violence, had warned the legislation was “legally vulnerable and likely to backfire.” “By passing a ban this broad, we are handing the U.S. Supreme Court a perfect opportunity to deliver a definitive, nationwide ruling against state-level firearm restrictions,” Viscoli told The New Mexican last week.

For now.
Let the Republicans blow the midterms and the Epstein brouhaha hand over the presidency in ’28, and we’ll see a whole new SCOTUS shortly thereafter bent on torpedoing Heller, McDonald and Bruen.

Oh look…a Robert Spitzer op-ed. [More]
He wants us on our knees, too.
Noting the legal environment the nominee is part of and stepping into, he’s as good as we’re going to get, but hardly measures up to the superlatives of being “truly pro-Second Amendment.” [More]
Some refuse to accept the parameters being defined for them, “don’t believe in the no-win scenario,” and don’t consider a writhing platter of gagh to be a gourmet meal.
Bring in ICE:
Why is it all the “commonsense gun safety law” organizations — every one of them — endorse politicians for illegals and against ICE? That is, if they’re sincere about their stated goal?

Effective immediately, VA will not report Veterans to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System as “prohibited persons” only because they need help from a fiduciary in managing their VA benefits… In addition to immediately stopping the reporting of VA Fiduciary Program participants to NICS, the department is working with the FBI to remove all past VA reporting from NICS, so no Veterans are unfairly deprived of their Second Amendment rights based solely on participation in VA’s Fiduciary Program… The Department of Justice supports this action.

I call ’em out when they do something wrong. It’s only fair to acknowledge when they get it right.
“Why is the NZ Army training to destroy Christians with traditional values?” [More]
Same reason they’re disarming their heritage population.
Because the government has been taken over by evil communists.
It’s not like we haven’t seen similar sentiments and efforts here…

Newsom Opposes Voter ID Laws, but Ignores Far Worse Abuses in California for CCW Permits [More]
I’ve been pointing out that disconnect for some time:
If photo IDs disenfranchise minority voters as “progressives” claim, why doesn’t the same requirement disenfranchise them from their right to keep and bear arms?
The answer, of course, is that it does, and that Democrats are racist hypocrites and liars.
Attorney Tom Grieve has a new video out that explains how burdensome California prior restraints are for the working poor.

The latest “Gotcha” by alleged thinking adults is to demand that Republicans should have to abide by the strictures of the SAVE Act to purchase guns. [More]
Like I said, racist hypocrites and liars…

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.

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:
