Notes from the Resistance
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in West Virginia, challenging the federal prohibition on handgun sales to young adults ages 18-20, and is asking for a declaratory judgment and injunctive relief. [More]
I’ve made my views known…
UPDATE
And here’s another SAF legal action:
SAF SUES CALIFORNIA OVER LAW SUPPRESSING GUN LAWSUITS
Hey, why should people who don’t respect the Second Amendment respect the First?
ATF sent a cease and desist to Hellfire telling them their Hellfire Stealth is a regulated machinegun. But if you look at the product, it’s a simple set screw in your grip screw to make your trigger a hair trigger. [More]
As I would recall — if I’d ever owned one — those came with a copy of ATF’s approval of the device’s legality…
I’ll have to see if I can find my co… uh… one.
They sound like the kind of thing you would have used once or twice at the range and then decided the fun wasn’t worth the ammo…

5 Students Shot, 1 Killed, at Roxborough High School Football Scrimmage – Two gunmen fired at least 70 times as they ambushed the group on the 300 block of Fairway Terrace, behind Roxborough High School, around 4:41 p.m., police said [More]
No descriptions of the at-large threats to the community?
Speaking of which, I see the village idiots have mobilized in front of the school “holding signs and demanding something be done about gun violence.”

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a preliminary injunction yesterday against a Winchester, VA ordinance that prohibits the possession, carry, or transportation of firearms at public parks and in public areas where approved demonstrations are occurring. [More]
You take a look at the history of the place and you’ve just gotta shake your head at what those who live there now have done to it.
UPDATE
Also in this post:
Philadelphia, PA – Yesterday, lame-duck Mayor Jim Kenney signed an executive order prohibiting individuals from lawful carry at all City of Philadelphia recreational facilities. The mayor’s actions are in clear violation of Pennsylvania law prohibiting these types of local gun restrictions. Within hours of Mayor Kenney’s signing ceremony, Gun Owners of America (GOA) filed a lawsuit to enjoin enforcement of this illegal gun regulation.

I can hear the grabbers now:
“Please let it be a white conservative with an assault rifle, please let it be a white conservative with an assault rifle…”
This is where developments will break.

UPDATE
It’s over. One killed and they’re not saying who’s in custody yet.
Dozens of Officers Have Firearms Taken Away After Failing Psych Evaluations [More]
Hey. aren’t these the same guys who are supposed to be disarming us…? Kinda makes you wonder what kind of morons, psychopaths, and mental defectives they hand out badges to…
So what sense does it make to take their duty guns but not any personal firearms they might own? Actually, what sense does it make to leave someone who can’t be trusted with a gun without a custodian?
The results aren’t trustworthy, they say? So what does that say about red flag laws?

Former Wynn Resorts CEO May Face Trial in Foreign Lobbying Case [More]
“Elegant and important essay by @RepRaskin debunking the disturbingly persistent idea that the 2nd Am gives citizens the right to take up arms against the government.” [More]
For being an “LATimes Legal Affairs Columnist. Former US Attorney, DOJ official. Teach con law at UCSD& UCLA” you’d think this f***ing idiot would know the Second Amendment doesn’t “give” any rights.
As for Marxist weasel Raskin, the rotten fruit doesn’t fall far from the corrupt tree.
It’s funny that the Democratic Underground uses a web archive link to avoid the NYT paywall. It’s dangerous that no one there understands the basics of the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever devised.

“Busse was listed as ‘unaffiliated,’ but that is not true… He is an advisor for the Giffords gun control group and has openly advocated the ban on the most popular selling centerfire rifle in America…” [More]
Yeah, put the fox in charge of the henhouse. What could go wrong?
Mass public shootings in the US account for a small fraction of all firearm-related homicides, but have an outsized role in stoking the public’s concern with firearm violence. [More]
Yeah, thanks to elites-funded hysterical “agenda science” amplified by an equally hysterical (and reliably ignorant) DSM.
Doctrinaire disarmament propagandists Philp J. Cook and John Donahue (Piled Higher and Deepers each) sure use a lot of words to spook the herd on a threat that takes fewer lives than fists and feet. And the gunquacks (funny, we were just talking about them) at the equally agenda-driven AMA are delighted for another chance to posture and preen as leaders.
Those are my broad strokes on the matter. I’m hoping our friends Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D. and the good docs at DRGO decide to give us something more scholarly to push back with…
Hat tip to John Richardson, who sent me this information, and has put together quite a nice write-up that factors in Bruen. This is one of the things I like about those in “our movement” who do it right– the object is to help each other fight the best fight possible.
Health Panel Recommends Anxiety Screening For All Adults Under 65 [More]
Sometimes, the old ideas are the best ones!
I don’t have time to check political sympathies on all of them, but it’s instructive to note the Chair and the two Vice Chairs were all appointed after Biden took office…
The gunquacks for due process-free prior restraints and confiscations are gonna have a field day with this one!

Pascrell and Davis Reintroduce Gun Violence Prevention and Safe Communities Act [More]
That’s this hate-filled domestic enemy who is trying to criminalize his political opponents…
This is a noisemaking publicity move to turn out the useful idiot blue vote in advance of the midterms. As such, expect it to die the same death as its arm-waving predecessor.
For now. The violence monopolists are working toward the day when they no longer need half measures.

Biden: “What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for? It’s an assault weapon designed to kill people, to defend America, to defend people.” [More]
“To kill people! To DEFEND people! To kill people AND defend people!”
Why do I imagine Jack Nicholson slapping him around?
