Notes from the Resistance
Gun Owners of America has learned that the FIRST gun bill that House Republicans plan to vote on is… NOT a pro-gun bill. The bill would expand the FBI’s power to punish Americans who attempt to legally purchase a firearm from a commercial gun dealer by reporting them to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. [More]
My new rep and one of my senators are enemies, so no use writing them.
It really seems to me a more effective tactic would be an en masse “WTF?” blast to Kevin McCarthy.

Today, January 9th, the Colorado Legislature begins the 2023 legislative session. As in 2022, the Legislature can expect to see both pro and anti-gun bills introduced this year. Anti-gun lawmakers have drafted their gun control package bill, falsely titled the “Mass Shooting Prevention Act of 2023.” The draft bans many commonly used firearms Americans choose to defend themselves and their families with. Proponents, however, fail to explain how disarming law-abiding citizens will keep them safe from criminals who do not obey the law. Please use the link below to contact your legislators asking them to please vote NO on gun control. [More]
Yeah, that’ll be persuasive with subversive totalitarians who want to completely disarm and enslave you. Why not send them a picture of a limp d!ck so they really respect an alternative point of view?
Looks like this came out a couple of days too soon, but then again, adding more demands and restrictions is what the freedom haters are all about.
UPDATE
The bill defines assault weapons so broadly that it would ban almost all semi-automatic weapons. It would ban almost every handgun used in self-defense and concealed carry. It would ban almost every rifle used for home protection or competition shooting. No more Glocks, AR-15s, or shotguns with a magazine and those are just a few of the many guns this bill could ban. [More]
Yeah, I’ll be saying “please” to those evil m***********s.
UPDATE
Colorado Democrats aim to ban entire class of semi-automatic weapons [More]
It includes an embed of the bill.

Bernie, who is a radio contributor and analyst for the Browns, took the high road as he apologized to the organization for putting them in a tough spot, during his Monday night podcast… But he’s standing by his statement that he placed the bet for charity and didn’t think it would be an issue because he says he’s not an employee but an independent contractor with the team. [More]
And for that, the woke front office cowards presuming to hold themselves up as the paragons of ethics summarily and rudely discarded a man who has given them a lifetime of loyalty, saying his “services are no longer desired or needed.” This from a team management that played fast and loose with the draft rules to get Kosar when his services were desired and needed.
Meanwhile, “former NFL player turned broadcaster Jon Vilma … said that this country needs more gun laws. Many were surprised that Vilma went there during an NFL broadcast” and nobody in the league protested that he abused his venue access privileges to attack the rights of his countrymen. And this is a guy who was only suspended for his role in a “pay-for-performance/bounty program that endangered player safety over three seasons.”
I should say Vilma’s Saints bounty scandal — you know, the same team where guns are being stolen from parked cars. Right, moron, the country needs more gun laws.
FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTS TRO IN SAF CHALLENGE OF NEW JERSEY GUN LAW [More]
I’m wondering at what point a judge is going to start sanctioning state defendants for clearly engaging in deliberate defiance and delays, and making it personal.
US appeals court blocks ban on rapid-fire ‘bump stocks’ [More]
I’m looking into what this means for my case and plan on drafting something up soon.
In the meantime, seeing as how AP is telling everybody “The ban was instituted after a gunman perched in a high-rise hotel using bump stock-equipped weapons massacred dozens of people in Las Vegas in 2017,” I’m wondering what they know that the government evidently doesn’t.
CBS Philadelphia found many shootings are concentrated in just several neighborhoods, leaving behind a horrible toll of trauma for those living in those areas. [More]
Been looking at Neighborhood Scout again, have we?
So when the grabbers talk about owning a gun being more dangerous than not owning one, first of all, they’re talking about people who don’t actually own them, and second, if you’re not a scumbag criminal loser, their “statistics” don’t apply to you…? Including women…?
Making manipulative crap like this a carefully crafted lie?

In a news conference from Sao Paulo state, Lula accused Bolsonaro of encouraging the uprising by those he termed “fascist fanatics,” and he read a freshly signed decree for the federal government to take control of security in the federal district. “There is no precedent for what they did and these people need to be punished,” Lula said. [More]
Sure there is. It even looks like they’re using the J6 Playbook.
And not to say “I told you so,’ but:
This isn’t over. And we in the Land of the Second Amendment may learn a thing or two before it is… In an editorial comment-laced “news” story rife with loaded terms and leftist-sympathizing sentiment, The Washington Post tells us Jair Bolsonaro has flown to Florida. Don’t be surprised if that’s not enough for the Lula regime.
Tangentially related: It looks like the trade association rope-sellers can’t suck up hard enough and hit the ground running proposing new infringements. [More]

Jones also declined to reveal details of the shooting, or say how the boy got access to the gun or who owns the weapon. “This is a red flag for the country,” Jones said. [More]
A red flag for the country as in he wants to mass confiscate guns without due process, or a red flag for the country as in everybody better take that as a signal of tyrannical intent and prepare accordingly?
Convenient, isn’t it, how they can use the little aberration’s age to mask relevant details that will prove to all but the fanatical and the stupid that this is not a “gun problem” and hardly representative of the country outside of “progressive” enclaves?

Blue states are attempting to circumvent the U.S. Constitution and federal law to go after “assault weapons.” [More]
My latest piece…
But don’t worry. No one is trying to take your guns.
Ah! The understanding at the time was that parents would have a say in what their dependent children could or could not do! So, according to this, there were no Founding-era laws saying a boy or girl couldn’t have a gun if the adults raising them wanted them to. [More]
Remove predators from society and leave our guns and our children alone? The parasites, control freaks, and groomers aren’t gonna like that one bit…
Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation and its allies have filed a brief supporting their earlier motion for summary judgment in a federal challenge of Illinois’ ban on concealed carry by young adults in a case known as Meyer v. Raoul. [More]
Remember all those laws from the Founding era making it a crime for 18-20-year-olds to have a gun?
Me neither.

Now we see if they can ram the whole thing through, at which point I’m sure challenges requesting an injunction are already set to go.

Transage Activists Now Claim “Age Is A Social Construct,” Just Like We Predicted Would Happen [More]
Perhaps we can make lemonades out of lemons– I have long advocated for giving young people development-appropriate gun training, as opposed to “age-appropriate.” Maybe this can be exploited against those obnoxious and unconstitutional edicts saying you have to be 21 to buy the firearm of your choice.
Except I bet if you asked transage proponents, they’d tell you no age is appropriate. More likely, they just want to diddle with kids.
Now wait for Phase Two: Age is racist.

So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]
What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?
