Notes from the Resistance
“The officers chose to prioritize the accusation of racial abuse over saving the life of this young man,” Jenrick said. “I think that was a terrible mistake.” [More]
See, as long as you lot excuse policy as a “mistake,” there’s no hope of changing it. Or this:
They’ll never “give” what ought to be taken. And how soon until running and hiding are prosecuted as hateful assumptions?
Coming soon, to a pradesh near you:
And, of course, this self-outed twit’s response is to ban knives.

This has got to be one of the most frustrating processes that I can think of because there’s just nothing that we could do to stop it. Or at least that’s how it feels. But this is what happens when the left has a super majority in the state. They could pass whatever they want without a care in the world because there just isn’t enough opposition to make a difference. And when they get so much support from the executive, it becomes a a game of who can pass what the fastest regardless of the Constitution. And that’s exactly what we have here. [Watch]
“Don’t like bad gun laws?” she asked. “Tell Congress, ” she answered.
I’d suggest another way, but I wouldn’t want the “gun rights” establishment to call me “juvenile.”

Translation: We’ll put on a show and throw you some short-lived scraps once in a while to make it look like we haven’t been completely lying to you about the right to keep and bear arms, but when it comes down to actually obeying the “shall not be infringed” mandate, well, f_ you.
Keep stokin’ that fire in our bellies, boys!

8th Circuit rejected Second Amendment challenge to Minnesota gun permit reciprocity law. Truck drivers argued Minnesota’s permit requirements burdened interstate travel and self-defense rights. Court ruled the reciprocity statute expands rather than restricts firearm carry rights. Panel found the Constitution does not require states to recognize all out-of-state gun permits. [More]
Hasn’t the Supreme Court weighed in on this already?
It would give to persons… the right to enter every other State whenever they pleased… and to keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
Aside from the “give” part, what’s the issue?

Just months after Wilson took office in Seattle, terrified residents in the city’s Aurora Avenue corridor decided to take matters into their own hands to address near-nightly shootings believed to be connected to criminal turf wars, prostitution and illegal trafficking. After weeks of gang-related shootings and high-speed car chases, some residents spent Memorial Day weekend blocking off their own streets using metal planters, dirt, gravel, logs and chunks of concrete. The barricades were set up to block at least three streets leading into the neighborhood. [More]

I don’t much like ’em, either, but that’s not the point, is it?
Why does the University of Minnesota Law School have a gun control clinic training the next generation of anti-2A lawyers by having them act as special assistant attorneys general under Keith Ellison? [More]
Followed by:
And why are we, as taxpayers, forced to fund the anti-civil rights gun clinic at the U of M Law School. Either we should defund it entirely, it should go private, or shut it down. We should not be forced to fund our own destruction, via our tax dollars to the U. [More]
Who’s going to stop them?
Keith Ellison, eh?
The thought of the well going dry and ivory tower leftists living under bridges does have a certain appeal to it.

What wiser policy could there be than letting some goofball broad, who would be utterly useless in a situation requiring armed defense, to dictate how people who wouldn’t be should be allowed to respond?

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a lawsuit challenging Maryland’s newly signed Glock ban. The filing comes in immediate response to Gov. Wes Moore signing the bill into law today. [More]
Hey, he’s just keeping his Antifa buddies safe…
Cekada promised neither he nor the ATF will be “offended by the outcome of the courts,” because he wants to make sure that Adamiak was “appropriately sentenced.” [More]
That’s mighty big of him. Told ya the guy was our BFF!
What did I say about if more took a stand?
And why am I thinking “Alice’s Restaurant“?
You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he’s really sick, and they won’t take him. And if two people, two people do it—in harmony—they may think they’re both faggots and they won’t take either of ’em. And three people do it—three, can you imagine?—three people walking in, singing a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out?—they may think it’s an organization. And can you—can you imagine fifty people a day—I said fifty people a day!—walkin’ in, singin’ a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. And friends, they may think it’s a movement!

Defensive Gun Use Statistics: Self-Defense Cases (2026) [More]
Using surveys, it’s impossible to come up with an accurate number, which explains the disparity of 2.5 million to 65,000 DGUs, which is still a lot more than the number of homicides.
The important statistic to remember is that 100% of gun prohibitionists would rather the defenders had been killed than armed.
Today we discuss SB 2710, which goes into effect July 1 of this year. This law will add significant penalties for underage individuals who are possessing and using firearms to commit crimes. The bill will so target those that are unlawfully supplying firearms to underage individuals. Could this law be the blueprint for other states that are actually trying to stem their violence problem rather than just disarm their citizens? [Watch]
I have no problem with crimes of violence being escalated to adult consequences, and with that crime being what is prosecuted.
Possession and “sensitive area” charges raise some concerns for me. What do text, history, and tradition have to say about young people and those?

Hollywood icon Sally Field reminds a fractured nation of the brilliance of the Constitution [More]
That must be why this “brilliant” dimbulb “is an outspoken advocate for gun control and social justice issues. She joined the Everytown Creative Council to support their mission of reducing gun violence in America. The actress emphasizes the importance of grassroots organizing to effect political change. Field encourages women specifically to lead the charge in demanding safer communities. She continues to use her public appearances to call for sensible gun legislation.”
Not that those “conservatives” praising her in comments have a clue, which says something about messages not escaping the echo chamber…
Native-born Councilwoman Mai Vang, whose Hmong family escaped communist genocide, poor living conditions, and slaughter in Laos thanks to AMERICA’s lifesaving refuge, turns her back on the U.S. flag and rejects the Pledge of Alligence…even on Veterans Day! [More]
