Notes from the Resistance
The Bloomberg-funded grabboids have commissioned another bought and paid for study that can be summarized as: “Defensive gun use is rare but cops, politicians, and big party donors need all the guns all the time because they’re more important!” [More]
And then there’s the inconvenient truth…

BREAKING
Department of Justice proposes rule to allow federal restoration of gun rights for the first time in 32 years pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 925(c). pic.twitter.com/eFTJ6Brx3Y
So, this puts a plus mark in the Bondi record. We’ll see what it really means as things develop. Case in point, how does it override the Schumer funding prohibiton on restoring rights?

After a floor vote on SB318 was delayed last Thursday, the bill was brought up again on the Senate Floor tonight for a vote and was passed 21 to 18. Numerous gun stores from around the state have told us the bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business. [More]
A gas-operated firearm and magazine ban, red-flag gun confiscation, and concealed carry infringements are still in the pipeline. The session ends Saturday, so Democrats are looking to do as much damage as they can.
THE REPUBLICANS CAN STOP THIS [More]
If they don’t it’s because they don’t want to, meaning Oregon gun owners must look to the Republican feds, who don’t seem to want to, either.
I wanted to update you on the situation involving Senator Nicole Mitchell, who is facing felony burglary charges after breaking into her stepmother’s home last year. On March 13, the Senate Ethics Committee met to review two complaints against Senator Nicole Mitchell tied to these charges and her behavior. Despite clear evidence of wrongdoing, the committee failed to take meaningful action. [More]
Felonies…? So, she could end up a “prohibited person”…?
What is it about these people who don’t trust us with guns…?

The latest version of Senate Bill-003 passed committee last Friday and threatens to change your way of life in Colorado. Under this bill, our: ● Sheriffs are permitted to require a DNA test from you to buy a gun. ● Parks and Wildlife Division will use money dedicated to hunting to fund expansive gun control schemes. ● Department of Revenue will be in charge of deciding which guns you can and can’t buy. [More]
Because of Democrat gun-grabber dominance, you have to ask yourself what ways are still open to resolve this peaceably in favor of the Second Amendment, and why those who could lead the way don’t appear to want to.

Gun Control’s Focus Shifts to State Capitals [More]
While Main Justice does nothing about it.
Remember when the focus of some state capitals was on segregation and DOJ and the administration said “No”? (And note the media trick of calling George Wallace a “staunch conservative.” He was a Democrat at that time and didn’t run as an “American Independent” until ’68.)

Did I hear someone say gun owners are losing patience?
Yeah, but he’s only been on the job two months and he’s got a lot on his plate and he’s playing a 3D chess game and… aside from “Would you rather have Kamala?” what excuse did I miss?
And any word on the Bondi report yet?

Yet despite clear evidence of bias, thanks to a U.S. Department of Justice official policy of deliberate indifference, such judges will remain on the bench. [More]

To my fellow Oregonskis, you are outnumbered and your only hope, just like the blacks of the 20th Century lies in federal intervention. And federal intervention it must be. We await a newly invigorated Civil Rights Division of a purged US Department of Justice to get busy. [More]
Which will never happen unless “gun rights groups” stop kissing administration @$$ and start leading their millions of member in demanding it.
I also received this comment via X message:
Howdy. I appreciate your efforts and work! Thought I’d send this privately rather than comment under the article. This is an incorrect take. The Oregon appeals court’s ruling was based on the state constitution as the lower court judge (Raschio) made it clear his decision (pro gun rights) was based on the Oregon constitution (which was an important distinction based on the Federal court decision discussed next). It was the Federal court judge (Trump appointee Immergut) who heard the 2A arguments on measure 114 almost 20+ months ago and attempted to narrow 2A rights with her pro measure 114 100+ page opinion. Raschio’s ruling merely gave us Oregon gun owners a 20 month reprieve (during which time the US Supreme Court should have addressed the issue via Snope and others, but has failed to do so). My $0.02 anyway… Take care & I hope this didn’t come across rude or arrogant, as it was not my intention.
While I don’t recall going into those details to make it an “incorrect take,” it’s not arrogant or rude: I appreciate the background insights.
If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored. [More]
Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?

Just racist conspiracy theory, right…?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
OK, but what about the rich ones…?

What’s the point of having the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision if states can ignore it with impunity?
The bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business by amending New Mexico’s Unfair Trade Practices Act to make it easier to sue a gun store than any other type of business and imposing harsher penalties on gun stores than any other type of business. [More]
And when they pass that, Democrats have plenty more waiting in the wings.
A Michigan court may issue an extreme risk protection order “ex parte” – without written or oral notice to the subject of the order or an opportunity to respond to the allegations. If the petitioner is a law enforcement officer, he or she may apply for an immediate emergency order “verbally over the telephone,” without a written petition, and the judge or magistrate may issue the order based solely on that request.

So… does this mean Carita’s a liar…?

So, when he designed his training, he emphasized due process protections embedded in these laws: Gun owners get ample notice about the petition, and they have the right to defend themselves in court through multiple hearings. [More]
But their guns are taken before anything’s proven, right?

Illinois Dem lawmaker pushes bill to legalize attacks on police for people having mental health episode [More]
That seems a bit bipolar, since she also supports edicts making police the “Only Ones” with guns. And it’s an interesting admission about the constituents she represents.
