Bellesiles and his publications were once cited actively, and then such citations dried up. But now, it appears that his publications are being cited again. [More]

Notes from the Resistance
CTRL+P(ain) : far-right and 3D weapons, a new frontier of political violence – The incident reflects an alarming global trend: the rise of right-wing digital extremism and the increasing access to technology to manufacture undetectable weapons. This dangerous combination worries security agencies, as it escapes state control and can be easily replicated anywhere in the world. [More]
So, it sounds like it would be in everybody’s interest if you stopped trying to shove collectivist controls down everybody’s craws, admitted “gun control” is an unworkable non-starter, and focused on securing the Blessings of Liberty…
Just a thought…

Rhode Island’s Democratic-controlled state House on Friday approved legislation that would ban the sale and manufacturing of many semiautomatic rifles commonly referred to as assault weapons. The proposal now heads to the desk of Democratic Gov. Dan McKee, who said in a post on the social platform X on Friday evening that he plans to sign the bill into law. [More]
Dan does have his priorities…
And note how AP characterizes them as “weapons of choice.”
I guess that’s always depended on what lie you wanted to perpetuate.

Today, we’re detailing nine new House bills and one new Senate bill that BFA opposes — though “new” is a stretch. These are largely the same ineffective measures rebranded with fresh bill numbers. [More]
No one ever accused Opposite Day “progressives” of actually having new ideas.
Commencing July 1, 2024, an excise tax is hereby imposed upon licensed firearms dealers, firearms manufacturers, and ammunition vendors, at the rate of 11 percent of the gross receipts from the retail sale in this state of any firearm, firearm precursor part, or ammunition. [More]
True, and I don’t suppose too many would be interested in DRESing for success...
Still, why is no one bellyaching about Pittman-Robertson, especially with all those anti-freedom Fudds throwing the rest of us under the bus?

Walz says Minnesota should consider banning guns at State Capitol, in wake of shootings [More]

Every Republican who shows up from now on is voting to end your gun rights. [More]
Note who shows and their priorities will be clear.

The point of rehashing all this now is to remind younger gun owners that citizen disarmament and its resultant monopoly of violence, repackaged by the prohibitionists now as “commonsense gun safety laws,” has always been the goal. [More]
Don’t let meaningless slogans parroted by indignant useful idiots distract from the real motives of the cold intellects behind citizen disarmament.

Bride, 27, dead and child among the injured after group gunned down at wedding party in France… ‘We’re close to towns, I won’t name them, where unfortunately, we’ve already seen this kind of thing before. [More]
That, and the groom was a known criminal…
What are they hiding, aside from the fact that “gun control” doesn’t stop criminals, and why?

So much for the accusation that the “right” has been taken away. Just don’t look for Red State FFLS to expand on the concept and ship banned magazines, etc. to Blue States.
I confess to being torn: On the one hand, it’s gruesome premeditated murder of human beings. On the other hand, it’s overwhelmingly Democrats culling their next generations, with all that implies.

North Carolina Democratic Gov. Josh Stein vetoed his first bills on Friday, blocking for now Republican legislation that would let adults carry concealed handguns without a permit and make state agencies and local sheriffs more active in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. [More]
The party that screams “DEMOCRACY!” once again rejects what the people’s representatives voted for.
Oh, look, another North Carolina Democrat politician!
The Fourth Circuit found Wednesday that a federal regulation prohibiting the commercial sale of handguns to those under 21 is constitutionally valid, despite efforts by a group of 18 to 20-year-olds who say they should be able to buy handguns. [More]
“Federal”?
Bondi’s DOJ hasn’t thrown in the towel? Why not?

I respect that Braden Langley is one of the few who give links to substantiate and credit where they get their information from. That’s a litmus test for me. Too many “guntubers” don’t, which is another reason I rarely link to them, and avoid some altogether who just exploit the work of others.

This is how it works: Step one, acquire statistics on firearm-related deaths among children ages 0 to 14. Step two, combine that relatively low number with the far greater number of firearm-related deaths involving juveniles and young adults ages 15 to 17, 15 to 19, or even ages 15 to 24. Step three, present the resulting data as the shocking number of “children” (ages 0 to 17, 0 to 19 or 0 to 24) who are subjected to “gun violence” each day/week/month/year. Step four, use the disingenuous statistic to advocate for pre-determined gun control policies by claiming “gun violence is the leading cause of death of children.” [More]

There have been so many reports of CRIMINAL ANTI-GUN DEMOCRATS… that it’s fair to assume none of these people are atypical. [More]
Gun-grabbers sure seem to have a lot of “prohibited persons” in their ranks.
OF COURSE the party of radicals wants you disarmed [More]
We talked about this evil Democrat cow here, and I’m looking into a potential new angle on dealing with her that nobody else is talking about– stay tuned.
In the meantime, F. Paul Valone also gives us a couple examples from the party of Vichycons, two-faced poltroons who back “gun control” because they’re not very informed, they’re not very smart, and they’re not very principled.
I’m talking about YOU, Ted Davis, and YOU, Bill Brisson. What the hell did you think you were swearing to do when you took those oaths?

Republican Senator Fred Girod said he believed the point of the bill was to make guns more expensive. We disagree. The bill is clearly designed to make guns unavailable. [More]
Don’t look to the controlled opposition to deny a quorum.
UPDATE
I’m told the House decided a floor show was an appropriate people’s business concern:
