Notes from the Resistance
Rob Sand is a gun-toting Christian from rural Iowa who goes deer hunting, drives a white Ford F-150 pickup, and opens speeches by quoting the Bible. He is also a rising Democratic star whose run for governor is spooking Republicans in the ruby red state. [More]
Here he is congratulating a doctrinaire gun-grabber on her win.

Shocking Photos Reveal Boston Firefighter’s Alleged ‘Gun Cave’ — With What Appears to Be a 200-Foot Firing Range Beneath His Home [More]
So, aside from the meth and stolen armor, who did he threaten? Who did he hurt? Who did he kill? Why the hoplophobic hysteria? (Oh, right: Boston.)
Who snitched, or did he do that to himself?
Who “leaked” the photos and why, and won’t they prejudice a jury? “Restraining order”? Ex-wife trying to “get” him?

How the NYPD, Manhattan DA are fighting radical online ghost gun manufacturers [P. 14]
I like the old one just fine, thank you.
You know, the one where the Framers envisioned guns without serial numbers for everyone…
Didn’t they even include a Preamble to the Bill of Rights to explain why, that is, “in order to prevent misconstruction or abuse of … powers”?
Ol’ Deputy Chief Nilan certainly looks the part.
First, court held that Tennessee’s “intent to go armed” statute violates the Tennessee Constitution and the Second Amendment. Second, the ruling declared unconstitutional Tennessee’s statute which makes it a criminal offense to merely carry certain weapons in parks and recreational areas even if for self-defense. [More]
Fine. A three-judge panel. What will the full court say, and how long will this intolerable nonsense go on?
I’m imagining what David Crockett would have had to say about this.

Democrats break GOP’s supermajority in Iowa after flipping state Senate seat [More]
Democrat Catelin Drey got 55% of the vote. She’s the founder of Moms for Iowa, which proclaims on its website:
We are passionate about curbing gun violence…
So Iowa gun owners should have known she’s a danger.
Republican opponent Christopher Prosch was described by Iowa Firearms Coalition as a “pro-Second Amendment candidate.” Their interview video has generated a whopping 81 views at this writing with no apparent shares. Its posting on X.com garnered one repost.
If gun owners don’t get involved — meaningfully — we can kiss the midterms goodbye. Don’t believe “the”gunfluencer” hype about Democrats being out of money, because the special interests it represents aren’t, or the party being too far left, because the dumbed-down, outraged, resentful and self-entitled constituents aren’t.
Apathy has always been a greater enemy than the antis, and if it continues, count on those who never lifted a finger to bitch and moan the loudest.
“We” sure do put a lot of deserved blame on Republicans. When a good one comes along, who helps ensure self government through representation?
Johns Hopkins has once more beclowned itself as a purveyor of agenda driven “junk science” [More]
If we can’t believe prohibitionist gunquacks, who can we believe?
Franklin County judge, a Democrat, shoots down Columbus gun ordinances [More]
I’m not so much sure we could call him a “good” Democrat as one who could not figure out a way to override clear state preemption law without bringing a s#!+storm down on himself.
There are some behaviors so aberrant, some crimes so vicious, and some consciences so amoral that it can never be safe to allow a congenital predator unfettered access to a potential victim pool and not expect that innocents will be attacked. [More]

ABA Recommends …MORE Gun Control! Continuing a Track Record of 24 Years of Infringing on 2A Rights [More]
I’d say bar complaints are in order, except “experience hath shewn” the lying b@$+@rd$ protect their own.
That’s great, being lectured on 2A by a gun-grabber who thinks he’s found a “Gotcha!”
Except the National Guard is not that militia. Never was.
As the Subcommittee on the Constitution of the United States Senate Ninety-Seventh Congress observed:
These commentators contend instead that the amendment’s preamble regarding the necessity of a “well regulated militia… to a free state” means that the right to keep and bear arms applies only to a National Guard. Such a reading fails to note that the Framers used the term “militia” to relate to every citizen capable of bearing arms, and that Congress has established the present National Guard under its power to raise armies, expressly stating that it was not doing so under its power to organize and arm the militia.
He’s just counting on younger people not remembering the old lies.

But…but…but the memo…
They really are that tone deaf.
It doesn’t matter if they revised the statement to add “criminal.” As has been pointed out before:
We condemn any program that involves enforcing unconstitutional “laws”, even if such “laws” are enforced only against violent criminals. Unconstitutional “laws” are illegal, harmful to public safety, tyrannical, and are inevitably enforced against ordinary, non-criminal citizens.

So of course they want to disarm the displaced. It’s what conquerors do.
