Notes from the Resistance
Last week, the Wall Street Journal published an article entitled, “Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer.” Using a mis-mash of half-baked statistics, legal misinformation, and cherry-picked anecdotes, it tried to make a case that there is just too much darned self-defense going on in America.

[T]he Firearm Access During Shutdowns Act was introduced by U.S. Sen. James Risch (R-Idaho), as S. 3085, and by U.S. Rep. Ben Cline (R-Va.), as H.R. 5874. The Act would guarantee law-abiding Americans can continue to exercise their Second Amendment rights during a government shutdown, requiring federal agencies to continue processing firearm applications and licenses during a government shutdown.

Report brought to you by the “Don’t Lie for the Other Guy” people…
We don’t need any bills to ensure continued recognition of the other amendments in the Bill of Rights because the presumption is there is nothing government is authorized to do in terms of prior restraint infringements.
Why is this one different, and why do “we” unquestioningly tolerate it?
She told voters, “If there is a potentially dangerous situation, I want the police involved as soon as possible because it’s their responsibility, not yours, to deal with dangerous people.” [More]
That attitude certainly explains a lot.

And any who believe this is anything more than another attack by the newsraper of record against guns needs to have their heads examined.
But watch the narrative get parroted and spread.

Their turn in the barrel, eh? That’s the problem with feeding a circling pack of jackals instead of repelling it. All it does is encourage them to move in closer.
And as for AR-15s being next, that’s a big reason reason I felt compelled to get involved in the bump stock fight:
Who thinks the gun-grabbers won’t use that to further their goal of banning all such guns?
As I told more than one surrender monkey moron:
If anyone believes this is just about “bump stocks” they haven’t been paying attention…
And if anyone tells you it was all about strategic 3D chess, feel free to question their priorities and incentives.
Never forget the goal, laid out for us not by our words but by theirs.

Earlier this year, the plaintiff’s wife had been involuntarily admitted to a mental health facility, based on a language-related misunderstanding, resulting in her discharge with a diagnosis of “Adjustment disorder with depressed mood, seven weeks pregnant.” In April of 2025, acting on the information about his wife, the Fort Lee Police Department confiscated Mr. Aliaj’s firearms, ammunition, and related accessories from his home, without presenting any warrant or court order.

Naturally, “the Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office was taking the position that his weapons were confiscated under New Jersey’s ‘Duty to Inform’ law,” because Mark Musella is a New Jersey “Republican.”
“Law and order” über alles, right? Especially where “the supreme Law of the Land” is ignored as a matter of course.

Prop 50: A Direct Threat to the Second Amendment [Watch]
Yes, Democrats mean to rule with a monopoly of power, which includes a monopoly of violence, and they’d do whatever it takes and then some. The unanswered question is how did California get this way and what have the gun groups –including CRPA — done to warn citizens and try to stop the root cause, or have they ignored it with a “single issue” excuse?
And will they keep ignoring it in places that have not yet turned because they’re afraid the communists will call them names?

In keeping with the new state requirement that all would-be handgun buyers first acquire a purchase permit, the Delaware State Police have launched a portal for permit applications. Called the “Permit to Purchase Application Portal,” the webpage is used to gather personal information, including name, address, gender, date of birth, email, employment status (including employer info), and race and ethnicity information. [More]
And remember, “law-abiding” gun owners: Back the Blue!
When I think of portals, I don’t think of anything good coming out of the other side.

Is There a Hidden Meaning in DOJ’s Position on Mag Bans? [Watch]
Let me get this straight: The “pro-gun” DOJ will defend magazines (because they believe bans are unconstitutional or because they think SCOTUS will rule against them?) but still demands license/registration requirements to carry and possess firearms and ammunition…?
If there’s a hidden meaning, they’re not hiding it very well. That seems kind of in-your-face…
And yeah, I’m vulnerable to being sucked in just like most gun owners.
“Full might” my… eye.
“The State bears the burden of proving that its immoral scheme to criminalize rights is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition, and they will fail.” [More]
Actually, unless and until the Supreme Court rules in favor of the uninfringed right of the people to keep and bear arms, the burden will continue to be entirely borne by the state’s victims.
Viramontes’s criticism of Bevis on this point carries little weight, given Heller’s holding that “the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes[.]” Id. at 625. Heller did not hold, as Viramontes seems to imply, that military-style weapons are protected “arms” because military action by civilians is lawful. Instead, Heller characterized self-defense as the “core lawful purpose” of firearm use. 554 U.S. at 630. [More]
I beg to differ. And have warned that ignoring the militia aspect would be used against us.
Funny, how a common prohibitionist argument is that 2A advocates ignore the first 13 words, and here it is they’re doing just that in their legal argument.
In any case, the amendment says “arms.” And as for the contention that its ban “finds support in this nation’s history and tradition,” tell that to Tench Coxe.
