Notes from the Resistance
On Friday the 17th, the House Judiciary Committee heard both HB100, the 14-day waiting period bill, and HB101, the ban on the sale of semiautomatic rifles and registration of currently owned ones. [More]
The session is halfway over and heating up.
On March 7th at 3PM the Senate Education Committee is scheduled to hear SB 551. Senate Bill 551, in its original, unamended form “Requires school districts to provide specified information related to secure storage of medications and firearms. Directs Oregon Health Authority to make information available to school districts.” [More]
Who
“After reading about the history of the second amend and talking with a lot of hist & law professors- I believe the second amendment has been intentionally misinterpreted. It was never meant as an individual right it was created to protect state militias like the national guard.” [More]
What did he read and who did he talk to?
Is there anything more endearing than ignorance presented with arrogance? Now that he’s achieved Constitutional godhead, maybe he can produce the evidence ACLU failed to back before he was born…?

New ways for swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance…
Everybody knows the clause in the Constitution that delegates and authorizes these powers, don’t you?
Anybody…?
Discover Financial Services, a provider of credit cards, told Reuters it will allow its network to track purchases at gun retailers come April, making it the first among its peers to publicly give a date for moving ahead with the initiative, which is aimed at helping authorities probe gun-related crimes. [More]
So the rope-selling capitalists at Discover have sided with the in-your-face communists at SEIO/Amalgamated on their precrime snitch system.
Any gun owner who does not cancel his Discover card is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Any FFL who accepts them is willfully giving up customer information.
That seems like the kind of thing NSSF could make go widespread — if it wanted to.

UPDATE
The merchant code in question is “5723 – Gun and ammunition shops,” and to that end, I’m hoping to get some Twitter play out of this:
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed an amended federal complaint challenging the Biden administration’s new “Arm Brace Rule,” accusing the government of violating the Administrative Procedures Act, the Second Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. [More]
And the damning thing is, the government knows it’s violating all of those things.
Gun violence in US and what the statistics tell us [More]
I think they mean what selectively presented statistics tell us. For instance, you’d think in any honest analysis of the issue, stuff like who’s doing the violence and where it’s being done would be a foremost concern, instead of, you know, being deliberately omitted.
There are plenty of false conclusions being implied, as well. Case in point, it looks like “gun rights” groups outspend the prohibitionists, and some “gun pundits” are considering that as proof that “we” are winning.
That ignores grassroots vs. Astroturf, and leaves the most important consideration unsaid: The grabbers don’t have to spend as much. The government, with virtually unlimited tax plunder, is carrying the lion’s share of the legal costs, and the media provides all the free publicity they want while ignoring or deliberately suppressing the truth, as evidenced by the second link, above.

Denver’s crime continues to rise in contrast to the statewide crime rate. [More]
Gee. That’s too bad.
And yes. Of course.

Dear white Americans: You’re not racist about guns. You’re worse. [More]
Dear Isaac Bailey… (NSFW)
Some of us just prefer the truth.

MSU shooter was found with 2 legally purchased guns, ammo and a threatening note, officials say [More]
“Legally purchased” implies legally retained.
CCRKBA says “He spent a total of 18 months on probation, but was allowed to retain his gun rights.”

So Damon Connolly achieving his grand purpose in life will serve who, then?
There’s a quote from me in there. Here’s my complete response.
And based on supporting candidates like party switch-hitter Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, Tom Ridge, and Brian Fitzpatrick, a critical mass of Pennsylvania Republicans is demonstrably willing to throw gun owners under the bus in exchange for the false promise of “less government.” They’re the useful idiot “bourgeoisie” the Democratic Socialists are counting on being asleep. This also explains why disarming them is such a priority. [More]
With “Republicans” like Fitzpatrick, who needs Democrats?
Senate Bill 41 containing both repeal of our archaic Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit law and the provision to allow concealed carry in churches which sponsor schools passed the NC Senate today by an overwhelming margin of 29-19. [More]
Now is no time to relax the pressure. In the words of Yogi Berra, it ain’t over ’til it’s over.
Anthony McRae, the gunman who killed three people and wounded five others at Michigan State University on Monday, was arrested in June 2019 and charged with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit. [More]
This is where I depart from all the “gun rights defenders” thinking that should have been enough to keep him in jail. They believe in the Second Amendment but…?
Enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

MSU Students: ‘Allow Us to Defend Ourselves and Carry on Campus’ [More]
