Notes from the Resistance
“Under current Ohio law, Ohioans wishing to own or use a short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun or firearm suppressor must register those items with the federal government or face the risk of criminal prosecution. If that reflects the policy of this legislature, so be it….” [More]
The Ohio GOP is aware there are midterms coming up, right?
“So be it”…???
This Wilson character continues to impress me as being a lump.

It wasn’t always this way. And it doesn’t need to stay this way. [More]
Correct– back in the days before GCA 68 prior restraints, the Brady bill, the Clinton gun ban, “red flag” laws, etc. etc. it was practically unheard of.
Presidential pardon recipients still barred from buying guns – Neither Patrick “Tate” Adamiak nor Pastor Russell Fincher can buy firearms… “The 4473 goes to the FBI. Anyone who gets a denial on a background check gets denied by the FBI”… The FBI requires members of the media to submit their question via email. Questions were sent Friday morning, but so far, the agency has not called or sent a response. [More]
I gotta tell ya, this Patel guy certainly hasn’t been filling me with confidence that all the promises about how great he’d be will be fulfilled.
All it would take is one phone call from him.
Justice Department Opens Investigation into Alleged Firearm Permitting Abuses in Two Connecticut Municipalities [More]
As I said when they made a similar announcement about New Jersey:
Wake me when they start frog-marching oath-breakers requiring licenses.
What the hell is a permit but a prior restraint infringement?

Polls Show Electorate’s Interest in Gun Control Waning [More]
What a bunch of wishful thinking happy talk. The perception of importance will change with the next high profile shooting and resulting media emphasis based on who the shooter is.
The question to ask is “How many support gun control and how many oppose it?”
New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed two gun control bills into law, mandating secure firearm storage and expanding ammunition background checks to include state-level red flag orders. These measures aim to reduce accidental shootings and prevent prohibited individuals from obtaining ammunition. [More]
That they will do neither is hardly the point.
The Ohio state line is just a little over 46 miles from New York’s via I-90.
At least until Vivek proves himself a worse Trump nominee than Dr. Oz…
Virginia state senator indicted, accused of leading a marijuana distribution enterprise – Federal prosecutors allege the 82-year-old Senate President Pro Tempore used her political power and committee influence to shield a family-run marijuana ring operating across Virginia. [More]
The same family that illegally brings weapons into airport terminals…?
Talk about a “true champion“!
“To the extent that AR-15-platform weapons are ‘Arms,’ it is because they are customarily used for offensive purposes…the Solicitor General maintains that AR-15 platform weapons are suitable for ‘repelling invasions, suppressing insurrections, and resisting tyranny.’ Today, of course, these responsibilities are reserved for the United States military, which maintains trained professional armies across the globe.” [More]
Anybody smell gas…?
In a first-of-its-kind Second Amendment victory, federal judge holds defensive body armor is constitutionally protected, grants FPC summary judgment, and orders permanent injunction against New York’s unconstitutional ban. [More]
Score another one for the knights.
No, not this Gunkapo Mike.
This one:
Like it;’s about “recreation”…
Did she tell you the people endorsing her want to ban these, Mike?
Only a Fudd would do business with this rope-selling capitalist.
“When they promised the right to bear arms, they had muskets. So, yeah, everyone should have like equal rights to a musket.” [More]
Been fighting that lie for a minute.
He, of course, knows better. So do his backers.
That the antis still use it proves they can rely on low information useful idiots to swallow their lies and the truth won’t even reach them, let alone move them. And recent “arrivals” used to the state being the arbiter of what’s permitted will unquestioningly accept it.
That’s a major argument those who counsel “wait a generation or two” don’t want to address.
Aside from such obvious risks and liabilities, the in-development Wi-Fi system raises all kinds of privacy and legal exposure concerns. Because the absence of metal detectors or visible cameras notwithstanding, this is hardly, as the report characterizes it, a “nonintrusive alternative.” It’s highly intrusive and overrides the entire purpose of concealed carry. [More]
Who thinks this is really about stopping violent crime?
Vivek Ramaswamy has a message for BFA supporters [Watch]
I have my reasons for being wary (and for having supported a different candidate in the primary).
That said, the ultimate issue for me is 2A. If Vivek wins, I believe he will be marginally more persuadable than Amy Acton will be on issues where we diverge.
When he does, I’ll do what I can to push back, noting my strongest opposition will be from myopic/deliberately indifferent “gun influencers.”
CNN anchor Christiane Amanpour leaving network after a storied career of 43 years [More]
“Storied” as in “making them up“?
[T]he AR-15. it is the only weapon that is designed to kill, not just wound. It is designed to kill.
Remember when Alan Korwin brilliantly refuted a hoplophobic New Yorker hack on her show, and instead of being an impartial moderator, she was the tag team’s lead attack dog in a piece pejoratively presented as “Gun Crazy in America“ ?
So… with the Iranian/British foreign national influencer of Americans leaving, who’s going to be the new Soros mouthpiece?
You don’t hate the DSM enough.
‘One sergeant suggested I should be shot’: Inside the ‘Penal Platoon’ hell Marines found themselves in after refusing COVID jab [More]
I remember when the idea of a dishonorable discharge was being floated around, and I got scolded by a reader for having “my tin foil hat on too tight” when I pointed out such a conviction would be a disqualifier from possessing a gun.
Gun rights group files lawsuit against West Orange police departments over risk protection order policies [More]
That they have to do it over technicalities like using “required” forms shows how far we have to go.
I might also ask where the hell are DeSantis and Uthmeier on this, and why the heavy lifting has to be done by the victims instead of by officials sworn to the Constitution.
