Notes from the Resistance
Received via email:
And remember, you will be doing these things at the Stark County Fair, a family-friendly community event with something for everyone. [More]
I asked them if they had something for me:
For the record, will I be able to lawfully carry a firearm there, including in enclosed buildings?
What is NRA doing about existing bans?

I’ll let you know if they reply.
A judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas has ruled in favor of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Defense Distributed in Defense Distributed v. Blanche (formerly VanDerStok v. Bondi), holding the ATF’s “Frame or Receiver” Rule, which expanded the definition of a “firearm,” unconstitutional on both Second Amendment and due process grounds. [More]
Making DIYers great again…
Serve the system and this is how it treats you.
How many others have never emerged to the other side?
So, he got the charges dismissed and his record expunged (40 minute mark). Who thinks rights restoration for non-Only Ones is a New Jersey priority?

Connecticut gun dealers forced to suffer yet another no-sales day… The State of Connecticut does not allow gun dealers to run their own NICS computer checks. It insists on running the checks for them, as well as a half-dozen other state checks… “I’m not saying that the State of Connecticut is intentionally doing it, but it’s been consistent enough lately.” [More]
Of course they’re doing it intentionally. Knowing this is a recurring problem that denies citizens their rights and costs already struggling dealers a lot of money — and not making it a priority to fix it — is just another way gun-hating Connecticut Democrats are saying “F_ you, die.”
RKBA advocates there ought to file a FOIA with SLFU (!) for all internal government correspondence/emails, minutes, instructions, records, etc.
We are losing Texas. Unconstrained immigration has introduced cultures that have no intention of assimilating to become Americans. Political Islam is on the march, undeterred by federal, state, or local action. [More]
Don’t tell me.
Tell Ranjit, Stephen, Kostas, Hannah, and Cam.
Tell self-blinded gun owners who agree with them on this without ever taking the challenge.

Several states currently have laws that require some form of approval from the Federal government under the current National Firearms Act (NFA). These states will have to pass new legislation to make suppressor ownership legal under the laws should deregulation proceed. If things progress quickly, you may not be able to buy a suppressor in these states. [More]
How’s your state doing?
I see suicidal Ohio Republicans have their thumbs up their hindquarters.
According to Wisconsin Administrative Code, we do.
Ditto for Summit County Fair officials and complicit Ohio Republicans.
Sure have come a long way since Pat Boone, haven’t we?

Gun nuts froth as Todd Blanche goes back on his word to keep 92-year ban in place [More]
Now there’s some fair and balanced journalism for ya.
Careful, David Edwards, you get any more worked up you’re gonna pop your Rapex.
We don’t hate the DSM enough.
“To stop mass shootings, we have got to elect Democrats that will actually do something about it,” Beshear said. [More]
Do what, exactly…?
How many Republicans are in Jametrius’ family and/or shoot rivals at Charles Young Park?
Beshear is worse than a liar. He’s a traitor, and those who vote for him are either Judas’s or useful idiots, not to say they can’t be both.
Funny thing about Kentucky– where the hell are the state grassroots gun rights groups?
Kentucky Concealed Carry Coalition ceased operations in Feb. ’25.
Gun Owners of Kentucky hasn’t updated its Facebook since 2023 and I see no evidence that it actually did anything.
Kentucky State Rifle and Pistol Association talks about sport on its website but doesn’t mention rights, and its Facebook is either discontinued or closed to the public.
GOA and NRA have presences, but those are national groups.
So… are there any conclusions we could reasonably draw about the seriousness of the majority of Kentucky gun owners at working to preserve their right to keep and bear arms? They can’t all be down in the holler plucking off revenuers.
Virginia State University shooting: At least 5 injured, one critically – VSU says the shooting involved ‘multiple suspects’ near the Quad Annexes [More]
The university’s employees, students, and volunteers are prohibited from carrying, maintaining, or storing a firearm or weapon on any university property.
The whole damn state has learned nothing by maintaining “a very sound policy.”
UPDATE
Lockdown lifted. Unidentified perps at large. Feel safer yet?
“They’re people that understand rural Democrats, working-class Democrats, that are showing up in rural communities and working-class spaces that historically our party has left behind. [More]
Or as Giffords puts it, she can con the Fudds:
Cooke understands Wisconsin’s rich heritage of hunting and sport shooting—and while she respects that tradition and has spent time at a deer camp or two, she also knows that we have a responsibility to enact commonsense gun safety reforms to keep our children and communities safe from senseless shootings.
Guess who’s turn it is in the barrel when Democrats get an unchallengeable majority.
Federal Judge Deals Final Death Blow to ATF’s ‘Engaged in the Business’ Rule [More]
It can’t be appealed? If not by this DOJ then by one reporting to a future Democrat administration? And what about future legislation?
The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners have filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Western District of New York challenging New York law that bars the sale and transfer of Glock and Glock-style handguns. [More]
It never ends, does it?
Ohio’s Unfinished Suppressor Reform Leaves a State-Law Trap for Gun Owners [More]
Fresh on the heels of killing the Freedom to Carry Act. And not correcting state and county fair citizen disarmament edicts.
And they wonder why it looks like Sherrod Brown is polling ahead of 2A squish Jon Husted and Vivek isn’t running over Amy Acton.
“Hudson Antifa” is not an anomaly. The state is in danger of going blue– I think it will. And clueless Vichycons are doing nothing to put fire in gun owner bellies.
Ohio Gun Owners names names. And while it’s easy for some to dismiss them based hostility against the Dorr brothers, resist ad hominem dismissal for a moment and see for yourself if A ratings and endorsements are deserved.
I figure that’s how long it will take to read all this and then seconds to do what it asks.
While he appreciates all the support his son’s case has drawn—there are hundreds of videos and stories chronicled on his “Freedom for Tate” website—Tate remains is prison. To date, there has been no formal move to secure his release—despite the kind words of more than a few elected officials. [More]
Look at what just happened with NFA as a result of massive numbers of gun owners making noise that could not be ignored with midterms coming up.
Advocacy media played a huge part in that.
As just a cursory look shows us:
If a million gun owners simply reposted a “tweet” (or whatever the hell you call them these days) saying “FREEDOM FOR TATE” that shared this link and copied Todd Blanche, Harmeet Dhillon and Donald Trump, I guarantee you it would get their attention.
Section 930(d)(3) of title 18, U.S. Code, permits the lawful carrying of constitutionally protected firearms in post offices that are generally open to the public. [More]
So, when’s the sign going down?
We could ask…

Unanimously approved Sue Myerscough can’t be very happy about that.
Perhaps the county has better info than this:
