Notes from the Resistance
But now, some doctors are restarting donors’ hearts after a planned cardiac arrest when life-sustaining treatment is withdrawn — meaning that the cardiac arrest wasn’t necessarily irreversible — and then causing brain death so that beating hearts can be harvested. [More]
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I wonder if this might be another indicator of why gunquacks are bent on upping risks through disarmament…

If the Republicans manage not to blow November, I’d like to see some economic retaliation for all the acts of war perpetrated against the U.S. by these bastards. Both in terms of aid and trade.

“We have had enough,” Katz said in a statement announcing the indictment. “There are basic rights that New Yorkers should have in this City, and one of them is the right to safety when commuting to work, using the subway to take our children to school, and knowing we can safely come home to our families.” [More]

Polyphemus may have told the Fudds he would eat them last, but eat them he will if the ones they’re throwing under the bus fall.
The bottom line is “bump stocks,” which were “legal” at the time, could not have been the “illegally possessed prohibited firearms” referred to in the “Paddock” report. So what weapon/s are they referring to? [More]
Enquiring minds want to know…
“MAYBE what it will do is get some Member(s) of Congress to request GAO to do a forensic audit of the NFRTR to determine its accuracy and reliability,” another one of my “small cadre” advisors chimed in, pointing out the elephant in the room that “amnesty” proponents don’t much want to talk about. [More]
They have no authority to do it, they have no capability to do it, and on top of that, it’s a trap. Sounds like SOP for ATF.

Dickey and Rosenberg started out as “mortal enemies,” but after making small talk about their kids during a chance conversation they developed “an incredible friendship,” as Rosenberg recounts. Years later, they were habitually ending their conversations by telling each other “I love you,” and “we really meant it,” Rosenberg says. Through the power of this human connection, Dickey ends up seeing reason and changing his mind. He comes to believe that the amendment bearing his name was a mistake. [More]

If Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine (D) face off in a possible 2024 U.S. Senate contest, 41 percent of Virginians would support Kaine, while 39 percent could support Youngkin, according to this year’s survey. [More]

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is issuing this open letter to further assist the firearms industry and the public in understanding whether a “partially complete, disassembled, or nonfunctional” receiver of an AR-15/M-16 variant weapon has reached a stage of manufacture such that it “may readily be completed, assembled, restored, or otherwise converted” to a functional receiver, and is therefore classified as a “frame or receiver” or “firearm” in accordance with the final rule titled “Definition of ‘Frame or Receiver’ and Identification of Firearms (Final Rule 2021R-05F), which became effective August 24, 2022.

CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE AND SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUE CT OVER BAN ON MODERN SPORTING ARMS [More]
I dunno– “in Common Use for Lawful Purposes Throughout the United States” seems to exclude everything that’s not, including what will be developed in the future.
The Supreme Court, in its infamous Miller decision, nonetheless recognized the function of the Militia, defined as “all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time,” was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. These citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The Militia did not assemble on the green bearing clubs and spears. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. A modern Militia would require citizens to keep and bear exactly what the gun-grabbing politicians are trying to take away from them, what they pejoratively denounce as “weapons of war.”
Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’

This just proves what a damned idiot and a tool he is, and how willfully ignorant his supporters must be.
What the “our democracy” string-pullers don’t seem to be taking into account is when you erode respect for a position by offering obvious boobs like this as placeholders, you replace it with contempt for the office. Or maybe they are taking it into account, and it’s all part of a plan to bring about the day when they can drop all pretenses because their rule will be unchallengeable.

They don’t want you to have guns and they don’t want you to have free speech. Hey, if you can get away with ignoring the Second Amendment, why should you respect the First? [More]

Well, you can buy the Ted Olson excuse, that regardless of how he feels, the AG is charged with defending existing state laws, or you can just as easily conclude that “Tea Party conservative” Paxton has reasons of his own to douse the fire in gun owners’ bellies before November to help turn the state blue.
