Notes from the Resistance
An alliance of firearms dealers and Second Amendment advocates sued Democratic Colorado Gov. Jared Polis over a law authorizing warrantless searches of gun sales records. [More]
And if a Republican tried to do this with abortion or minor gender reassignment records…?
It really does give an insight into the totalitarian mind of Democrats in power.

In a ruling issued Thursday, the Spotsylvania Circuit Court denied a request for preliminary injunction in the Curtis v. Katz challenge to Virginia’s semiautomatic firearm/magazine ban. [More]
Even though the judge acknowledges “irreparable harm” to the Plaintiffs, he thinks more damage will be done if gun-banning Democrats don’t get their way.
The hearing has been held on Curtis v. Katz, the Virginia Constitution Article I, Section 13-based militia challenge to the “assault weapon” ban.
I’m not finding results yet on Google News search, but have been able to find case progress by going to VA Courts, selecting the Circuit Court Case Information link, picking Spotsylvania Circuit Court from the drop down menu, and entering CL26002454-00 in the Case Number field.
That really doesn’t tell us anything I haven’t written about, but there is a link for Case Documents that shows all the filings from May 19 through to today, which unfortunately don’t open up to show us the details.
There’s also a Reddit discussion that seems as up to date as anything.
I’ll keep looking and if you know anything please inform us via Comments, below.
I should know more for sure tomorrow, as I’ve been invited to a Zoom press call with the counsel of record and others at 1 Eastern.
Horry County HOA bans firearms from shared spaces, raising questions about gun owner rights [More]
“The new rule set by CAMS Management”…? These “Executive Leadership Team” goofballs?
When I was HOA president (ending the reign of OCD under Witless and Titless), we directed the management company, not the other way around.
“Vibrant” and “Diverse” are all you need to know. That and “Comments are turned off.”
I’d think you could make the argument that, as a quasi governmental organization with board elections, HOA rules are subordinate to state law. Residents who care about their rights should get statements from the police and sheriff on if they will enforce the rule.
Actress Amanda Seyfried Paints Herself the Victim, Claims She Needed a Bodyguard After Attacking Charlie Kirk [More]
“This country is grieving too many senseless and violent deaths and shootings,” she emoted. “Can we agree on that at least?”
Hey, it’s not hypocritical. You’re free to win the stage prop lottery and hire all the security you want.
I can’t wait for the Ty-D-Bol man to hit the big time and share his political wisdom.

Assembly Bill 1967 is moving through the California Legislature with barely a ripple of public attention. The bill, authored by LGBTQ rights activist-turned-Assemblymember Rick Zbur, would allow children of any age to initiate state dependency proceedings against their own parents. The parents will not even know this has happened until the die is already cast. [More]
Which is when they’ll find out who put the kids up to it.
Oh, look: Typical Rick voters!
And yes, of course he wants your guns.
Keep voting Democrat, Californians.

Held: The government’s prosecution of Mr. Hemani under §922(g)(3)’s unlawful user provision is inconsistent with the Second Amendment. [More]
9-0, eh?
It’s getting harder and harder to break a gun law these days.
A guest editorial by the founder of the Virgin Islands Safe Gun Owners (VISGO) [More]
Democrats sure do f_ everything up.
And as screwed up as they can be, at least Republicans are doing something.
The feds were closing in, and the key players in a massive criminal corruption scheme were starting to get worried. That’s what KRQE News 13 has learned from newly unsealed federal documents, detailing the FBI’s wiretapped phone conversations between Albuquerque Police Department officers and the law firm they were conspiring with. [More]
Kinda makes you want to turn in those guns to them, doesn’t it?

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has filed a federal lawsuit in California challenging Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office policies that prohibit permit holders from carrying handguns equipped with red dot sights or flashlights, as well as their outright ban on the carry of single action only (SAO) 1911- and 2011-style pistols. [More]
“Enforced by Sheriff David Livingston,” eh?
It’s not like he’s got better things to focus on, like his longtime deputy “arrested … on charges of burglary, receiving stolen property, embezzlement, and possession of an assault weapon.”

A coalition of conservative activists are warning that a federal law mandating kill-switches in vehicles poses serious constitutional violations. [More]
Why did the Republican establishment torpedo the guy fighting it again…?

Rupert Lowe Releases His Rape Gang Report [More]
Throw this in the bad teeth of any snotty, effeminate Brit wanker feigning superiority over “you Yanks” because he has allowed himself to be disarmed.
I do wonder if these guys are real.

“Plaintiffs challenge these prohibitions solely under the militia clause of Article I, Section 13 of the Constitution of Virginia. They do not rest their case on the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution, nor on the individual right to keep and bear arms also embodied in Article I, Section 13,” the complaint declares. “Their argument is simpler and more fundamental: the militia clause guarantees the existence of a ‘well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms.’” [More]

Then they blew it.
It’s not like Zelenskyy hasn’t been told why this is important.
“The police must have reasonable suspicion that the person is possessing the gun illegally or otherwise engaged in criminal activity,” wrote Judge Kathryn Grill Graeff. “Because the officers here stopped appellant based solely on his possession of a gun, without reasonable suspicion that he was possessing the gun illegally or otherwise involved in criminal activity, they did not have reasonable suspicion to stop him. The stop, therefore, violated appellant’s Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable seizures.” [More]
Baltimore police are d_s when it comes to guns? Who knew?
When we compare these broader estimates, Australia’s rape and sexual assault rate is roughly three times higher than that of the United States. Australia’s assault rate is about twice as high, and its burglary rate is about 2.5 times higher. [More]
The factor in that 52% of U.S. counties where Americans can be armed to the teeth are as peaceable — or more so — than countries where government enforce a monopoly of violence.
