Notes from the Resistance
Sen. Dick Durbin says he’s ‘overwhelmed’ after Pope Leo defended him from abortion-related criticism – After Durbin withdrew from accepting an award from Chicago’s cardinal, the pope said that “itâs important to look at the overall work that a senator has done.” [More]

Here’s what they’re going for this time:
a. Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines ban b. Binary trigger ban c. Eliminate the ghost gun loophole d. Strengthen Extreme Risk Protection Orders, including increased funding for public outreach and education e. Expand school safety funding f. Increase funding for mental health treatment g. Strengthen prohibitions against domestic abusers to ensure they do not have access to firearms (HF 391) h. Increase criminal penalties for violent offenses committed with a firearm and increase criminal penalties for impersonating a police officer i. Increase funding to the Bureau of Criminal Apprehensionâs Behavioral Threat Assessment and Management Team
And no, of course that won’t be all once they get these passed.
And just to drive the point home:

The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has continued to attack Missouriâs Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA), treating it much the same way the Biden administration did. That decision is striking, because it puts Bondiâs DOJ at odds with both the text of the Constitution and President Trumpâs own executive order directing agencies to protect Second Amendment rights.

Creates the Responsibility in Firearm Legislation (RIFL) Act. Establishes a firearms manufacturer licensing program in the Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, with certain requirements, including that the sum of all fees for firearms manufacturer licenses shall be equal to the public health costs and financial burdens from firearm injuries and deaths. [More]
“Skirt protections,” eh?
There’s nothing “novel’ about being Democrat punks who continue to harass even though they know this spits on the face of the SCOTUS-held text, history, and tradition standard. They know they have unlimited tax plunder resources and can drag private plaintiff efforts and expenses on for years, all with impunity, that is, no personal repercussions.
To them it’s a game of “Gotcha!”
Some of us aren’t playing.

A yelling match between Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and a former Biden administration official broke out in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing over the need for “two spirit” safe spaces to combat gun violence…. “What’s two spirit?” Hawley asked. In response, Jackson said, “Well, I donât know exactly.” [More]
From the people who spooked the ignorant over “ghost guns”…
Such incompetent children operate on pure magical thinking. Powers that be embed such useful idiots into positions of influence so, like mindless Judas goats, they can lead the bleating herd to wherever they want it to go.
This was the DEI retard Biden picked to “advise” his Anti-2A Task force. Curious the “pro-gun” Trump administration won’t pick a few non-retards to keep its counter effort apprised of gun voter sentiment — and that no “gun group” is asking him to.

The permissibility of weapon-mounted lights (WMLs) and red dot sights on a concealed carry weapon (CCW) in California is determined by individual county sheriffs. Recently, some sheriffs have begun restricting or banning these accessories, with Contra Costa County being a prominent example. These county-specific decisions have made the rules for carrying accessories complex and variable across California. [More]
The impossibility of navigating through a patchwork quilt is the whole point, don’t you think?
And is anyone still clinging to the “Sheriffs are good/police chiefs are bad” fallacy?

The church says trained volunteers follow Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms guidelines to make three specific cuts to the firearm to make it no longer legally a gun. There is no transfer of ownership while the gun is still a gun, the church says. The owner must wait on the property for the process to be completed. The owner can either take the parts or donate them to be forged into garden tools. [More]
There are still other questions…
And the volunteers have all had background checks to make sure they’re not prohibited from touching the guns? And training to make sure they’re really unloaded?

SB 243 is now in effect. The bill bans specialty accessories like âbinaryâ and âforced resetâ triggers and bump stocks. It also allows any government entity to place its property off-limits to concealed handgun license holders. [More]
So, the Democrats will be satisfied now and stop any further attacks…?
Right…?
Butler v. Bondi [More]

The businesses listed below have Anti-Gun policies and many work actively to subvert your personal safety and civil rights. [More]
I didn’t see any there that couldn’t easily be boycotted or substituted for.
Unfortunately, don’t expect most gun owners to care enough to do anything about it, including expanding the list when new anti-gun businesses are found, notifying fellow gun owners, or doing something so simple as challenging businesses publicly on their social media feeds with this:
Yeah, I know, they “won’t do social media.” Or view it as advocacy media, another tool in the kit, another chair in the bar fight…
Who’s “our” real enemy, again?

Why, when there’s an easy way, does the “pro-gun” DOJ so often choose the hard way?
