Notes from the Resistance
In light of Bruen and its “historical understanding” benchmark, it’s difficult to see how an honest legal analysis could continue to support ATF’s vindictive vendetta against Albert Kwan. [More]
What a prolonged and tyrannical outrage. The question now is, does anyone besides a handful of us care?
In this case, with people dying, there’s no question police were desperately needed elsewhere. But it’s in these times of disaster when people left to protect themselves are most justified in doing just that against predators. [More]
When seconds count, you’re on your own.
Nice work if you can get it. The problem is, without a badge, you can’t, and therein lies the crux of police as “Only Ones.” [More]
Special exemptions make it easy to forget your place in the food chain.
114 STILL ON HOLD [More]
While the legal wrangling is going on, recognition of “unalienable” rights is not.
Time was tyrannical outrages were properly regarded as Intolerable Acts.

So that’s why they don’t want passengers armed!

Sen. Jon Tester refuses to say whether he will seek re-election in 2024 [More]
He’s so “pro-gun” he wants to see you disarmed when you pick up the mail.

It’s OK. The Democrats have their backs.

A federal appeals court on Monday allowed New York to restrict the carrying of firearms on private property under a new law adopted in wake of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded gun rights. [More]
Sack is a Clintonista and Wesley was appointed by Dubya, but Bianco was a Trump nominee.
We haven’t heard the last of this, but the first of it is ludicrous, offensive and intolerable.

Democrat Gov. Ned Lamont: AR-15s ‘Should Not Be Allowed in the State of Connecticut’- Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont (D) is weighing a push to end or repeal a grandfathering clause in a gun control bill in order to force residents to hand over any AR-15s. [More]
Now ask me how sorry I feel for those who registered theirs via obtaining a certificate of possession.

Chicago’s Protections for Felons, Gang Members Ensure Zero Criminal Illegal Aliens are Turned Over to Feds [More]
These are the politicians leading the drive to take away our means to resist who they’re protecting.
Forget it, Jake. It’s Ch-Town.
Let it burn.

Putin Should Be Scared: Ukraine Is Set to Start Hitting Russian Territory [More]
Putin should be scared? Hell, I’m scared. And that’s probably because, having thought about potentialities, I’m marginally better located and more prepared than most — which ultimately isn’t really saying a hell of a lot when you think of the way things could quickly go to living hell.
Brent M. Eastwood and his urban media megaphone providers over at MSN.com aren’t?
Looking to Ukraine arming its own citizens as a validation of concept is one thing. But as a real change of heart goes, that was wishful thinking.
Ignoring Washington’s great and prescient warning about foreign entanglements is another matter altogether.
The Republic has lost sons defending Europe and look where it’s gotten us, and importantly, where it’s leading us.
Who are the madmen urging escalation, what’s their skin in the game, and where will they watch it from?
Gen. Petraeus says Ukraine, military readiness top priorities for NDAA, vax mandate outrage ‘manufactured’ [More]
“War hero” can be a very poor criterion for establishing loyalties.
He even had his own Peggy Shippen to cloud his judgment.
That ongoing legal actions require evidence to be preserved and that ATF, the agency that stonewalled investigations and retaliated against whistleblowers now seeks to be the agent of its destruction, is a good circumstantial indicator that its priority remains one of covering up. [More]
There can be no “reform.” These corrupt bastards will never back down unless they are forced to.

It would be good for ‘a massive cultural shift’ toward European gun control: New York Times columnist – David Brooks said he would be willing to give up privacy for safety. [More]
He can give up whatever he wants. But what he’s saying is the rest of us have to do it too.
Mr. Franklin warned us. (And there’s also the William Penn version.)
And as for European “gun control”…
What a contemptible idiot. What a coward.

233 firearms collected in Summit County gun buyback event [More]
So if “233 firearms were collected at the event and $34,325 in gift cards were given out,” even given the maximum payout of $100 per working gun (which assumes no non-working guns paid out at $25 each were collected), that opens the question of whose pockets the other (at least) $11,025 in gift cards ended up in…
The “authorized journalist” who wrote this up probably didn’t want to press the issue because math is racist.

Tangentially-related UPDATE
I wanted to check out the Summit County Sheriff’s social media to see if they were bragging about this so I could ask them about their addition, and the cover of their magazine was the top post:
Every supermarket I go to around here warns against putting children in the car basket, and indeed, the Consumer Product Safety Commission warns in an alert:
Every year, thousands of children are treated in U.S. hospital emergency rooms for falls from shopping carts. Falls from shopping carts are among the leading causes of head injuries to young children and most often occur when children stand up in the child seat or the cart basket.
So it figures the same “Only Ones” encouraging people who may not know the first thing about guns (or how to clear them) to handle and transport them are happily displaying how oblivious they are to basic child safety in general on the cover of their quarterly bulletin.
Then again, consider where the buck stops and the party that she represents.
