Notes from the Resistance
Hallmarks of Tyranny in an Evolving Social Democracy [More]
Dr. Miguel Faria shows us the fundamental commonalities shared by despotic regimes, all of them recognizable and in various stages of imposition in our own society.
If you read one thing today, make this it. Then do the people within your sphere of influence a great service by sharing it with them.
Visitors on-board with Saint Louis Zoo’s new security system… The system will detect concealed weapons at the north and south entrances. [More]
Presumably, the ones who aren’t on board aren’t visitors.
Don’t look for assaults to stop, and as for that crack team of highly trained professionals Eidman is bragging about…

Should this Court decline to grant certiorari to consider the constitutionality of Maryland’s assault weapons ban where (1) that ban is consistent with this Court’s recognition in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), that jurisdictions may ban “weapons that are most useful in military service—M-16 rifles and the like”; (2) the Fourth Circuit faithfully applied New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1 (2022), to conclude that Maryland’s law is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of “regulating those weapons that were invented for offensive purposes and were ultimately proven to pose exceptional dangers to innocent civilians,” Pet. App. 69a; and (3) there is no need to resolve a conflict among the lower courts? [More]
Translation: Tyrannical Maryland Democrats want the Supreme Court to turn a blind eye to the state’s willingness to imprison and/or kill citizens for defying unconstitutional diktats and claiming their birthrights.

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), together with the Tennessee Firearms Association, today filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tennessee against the City of Memphis’ newly adopted gun control ordinances, which were passed by voters in direct opposition to the state’s robust preemption law. [More]
The city has real problems and the idiot Democrats in charge squander resources on diktats they know are illegal.
How is that not actionable malfeasance?
A public servant commits an offense who, with intent to obtain a benefit or to harm another, intentionally or knowingly:
(1) Commits an act relating to the public servant’s office or employment that constitutes an unauthorized exercise of official power;
(2) Commits an act under color of office or employment that exceeds the public servant’s official power;
It’s not enough to have to expend resources to kick these bastards’ crap back at them after months and years of court delays. Start making them personally accountable.
Why not follow up this preemptive strike with carpet bombing?
Oh, wait… the Bill Lee administration…
A 14-year-old boy who was given “many second chances” after being arrested multiple times before is suspected of wreaking havoc in the community with dozens of recent crimes, and Cleveland Mayor Justin Bibb said he is fed up. [More]
Fed up enough to name the little reptile and throw his @$$ in a cage until he’s 21, adding on additional time for infractions he’s sure to commit behind bars?
Face it, the retard will never be trustable without a custodian, or even with one.
And speaking of retards:
A federal judge has ruled that a constitutional challenge to New York state’s ban on selling bulletproof vests to civilians can move forward. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge John Sinatra Jr. rejected a motion from state Attorney General Letitia James and other New York officials to dismiss a challenge, ruling the plaintiffs have standing to sue the state over the restrictions. [More]
“Commonsense gun safety law advocate” Letitia not only wants to disarm you, she wants her shock troops to be able to more easily kill you with their “weapons of war.”

As the saying goes, ‘A right delayed is a right denied,’ and the state has denied untold numbers of citizens their right to obtain firearms for almost two weeks. This amounts to a mass deprivation of civil rights under color of law. [More]
Let’s hope one of the functions of the Trump Justice Department will be to go after such violations– like we tried to get phony John Ashcroft to do many years ago.
I’ll have to include that thought in a Firearms News piece I’m working on about a Trump to-do list.
Poisoning the Second Amendment Court Record [More]
Herschel observers that “arguing for semi-automatic firearms because they aren’t fully automatic firearms and thus not in military use is the wrong tactic.”
“But we have to do things in increments,” some will argue back.
He realizes that. It’s for when we get to the make-or-break increment we should be worried about.
It’s similar to fears I’ve expressed about how relying on “in common use at the time” is a trap.
3DPrinterOS, a cloud-based 3D printing management solutions company, has entered a collaboration with the MIX Lab at Montclair State University to develop an algorithm designed to identify 3D printed gun parts. This partnership aims to enhance safety and regulatory compliance. [More]
So… what? It will refuse to work…? It will report you…? It won’t open the pod bay doors…?

Even more alarming are reports that the suspect in this case has had nine felony convictions over the past ten years, and that he also has misdemeanor convictions on his record, and at the time of the stabbing incidents, he was the subject of an outstanding arrest warrant. [More]
Let’s see if the map tells us anything useful…
Defendants Kwame Raoul, Attorney General of the State of Illinois, and Brendan F. Kelly, Director of the Illinois State Police (“State Defendants”), hereby appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit from the Court’s order and final judgment dated November 8, 2024, in this case (Doc. 55), as well as three related cases (Barnett, et al. v. Raoul, et al., 3:23-cv209 Doc. 259; Federal Firearms Licensees of Illinois, et al. v. Pritzker, et al., 3:23-cv-215 Doc. 86; Langley, et al. v. Kelly, et al., 3:23-cv-192 Doc. 46). [More]
Of course they did. Tyrants don’t cede power unless there’s a credible “or else” attached to the demand, and besides, it’s not their money.
Once again, we have seen that the biggest threat to committed, constitutional, Republican candidates is…the Oregon Republican Establishment. [More]
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a permanent injunction against the State of Illinois’ poorly named Protect Illinois Communities Act. This law violates the Second Amendment and unconstitutionally bans many semi-automatic rifles, standard capacity magazines, and bump stocks, while instituting new registration requirements for gun owners. [More]
And there’s no link for this yet, but it just came in from SAF:
Am I reading these wrong?
We’ve done this before. Let’s not do it any more.
However, state legislatures have the authority and prerogative, rooted in the Tenth Amendment, to set and adjust the age of majority as they see fit “for the public good”… [More]
This:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
does not override this:
This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
It’s so weird– young people in Marx for Our Lives demanding that the government curtail their rights because they’re not mature and responsible enough to claim them.

How Many Illegal Gun Owners are in America [More]
If it’s someone who refused to surrender a banned gun out of principle, not knowing is how it should be.
If it’s someone who possesses a stolen gun, he’s not the owner.
Our society is violent, and people who commit ‘‘violent acts’’ are oppressed human beings who are reacting to their reality
and their context. [More]
Myopic eggheadette thinks the way to “shift the dialogue” on disarming you is to start with a generality lie and sympathize with predators…?
Canton park board formally changes laws, allows firearms in public parks [More]
Kudos to an alert citizen who educated them on state preemption. It’s inexcusable he had to.
Now the question is, can we keep Canton “Only Ones” who go berserk on lawfully armed citizens out of parks?

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal court challenge of Maryland’s restrictive “sensitive places” gun control law have filed an appellants’ brief with the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. [More]
So the Founders intended “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed unless we tell them ‘Except here, here, and here…’?”
