Notes from the Resistance
$22 Million Gun Factory Relocates From Virginia to Georgia Over ‘Anti-Gun’ Legislation [More]
Good for them.
But in the grand scheme of things, it’s a drop in the bucket just compared to what the state spends on illegal immigrants, and then factor in how much money the state has to “work” with on other collectivist wealth extortion/redistribution schemes, and this won’t give anyone in power pause.

Boy, 14, arrested for armed robbery of kids’ lemonade stand in Southie – Boston police are still searching for a second suspect in connection with the incident. [More]
And naturally, half the money raise in the reopening will be donated to groups demanding even more predator empowerment. That the victims’ parents went along with that tells me all I need to know about them.

Trump Channels Inner Tom Clancy, Takes Out TdA Head in Airstrike [More]
Kinda like what Biden and no shortage of narrative-parroting Democrats envision doing to defiant gun owners…
Remember that.

And we know where that leads.
Multiple people wounded in shooting at South Carolina’s largest mall, authorities detain suspects [More]
Who thinks they’ll be surprised when the suspects are ID’d?
Haywood Mall, eh? A Simon Mall…
At some point, some ambulance chaser’s gonna figure out “knew or should have known”and claim his client wouldn’t have been damaged if the code of conduct would have allowed him the means of self defense…
6 Kindergartners Dead After Knife Attack in School…While violent crime is rare in China due to strict gun laws and tight security… [More]
Is that the only reason it’s “rare”…?
And isn’t ubiquitous fear to not conform to behavioral mandates because you live in an “obey or else” extortionist police state really its own form of mass violence?
And here’s a shocker:
Knives are considered weapons and are subject to strict regulations. Possession of a knife with a blade longer than 15 centimeters is illegal and punishable by law. Carrying knives in public places is also prohibited.

Justice Department Opens Investigation of Philadelphia Police Department’s Allegedly Unconstitutional Permit Revocation Practices [More]
Glad to see I’m in good company…
From a strictly political point of view, this is a really good move for disarming accusations that the administration is racist. Who is it that wants to ban their guns and who is it saying they have a right to them until and unless they abuse it?
[Via Lane]
Simply put, as noted in the Statement of Facts, “The weapons banned by the act are the arms of the citizen militia.” [More]
While the other challenges are on hold, this unique complaint is still scheduled to be heard.
Important record correction
The Crump case also notes:
Plaintiffs do not bring any claim or seek any relief under the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Rather, they proceed only under Article I, Section 13 of the Constitution of Virginia.
The ban “is striking at the core of the militia system that existed in Virginia,” Mehaffey informed Fox News, showing he is one of the few public officials who “gets it,” or is at least willing to publicly acknowledge that reality. [More]
I know of some federal prosecutors who could follow suit — and are running out of excuses not to.
According to sources, the US Postal Service has stated that they are no longer going to permit the shipping of suppressors through the US mails. If true, this would be an unlawful prohibition as Mark Smith, Four Boxes Diner, explains here [Watch]
How have they stated it? Did an FFL get a letter? An email? A phone call? From whom?
He must really trust his source. That they’re so reluctant to come forward and provide proof gives me pause.
Yeah, I figured that out. (It hadn’t been addressed yet on the Freedom 250 website when I sent my query.)
I’ll see if they reply:
Why?
But the judge issued an order stopping everything. And here’s the kicker. He did it because of a move pulled by the anti-gun Attorney General Jay Jones. The state is using a rule called the Multiple Claimant Litigation Act. Because gun owners are fighting back in four different counties across Virginia, the attorney general petitioned the Virginia State Supreme Court to clump all four of those lawsuits together and move them to one single court. Most likely a court where they think a judge will side with the state. A la Richmond.

At least 16 states have now put 3D gun laws on the books, with seven states adding major legislation this year. [More]
And, of course, it’s not just 3D guns they want to ban.
So… how many lawsuits must rights advocates pay for, in how many districts and circuits, with no clear resolve on the part of the Supreme Court to order “shall not be infringed,” on Congress to pass sanctions, and on DOJ to enforce rights? Bits and pieces are offered and bits and pieces are taken back. But it will never happen unless and until there is a clear “or else” promise behind our demands.
Anybody seeing a groundswell that can’t be ignored for that?
Nigerian Christians Face Legal Battle for the Right to Defend Themselves [More]
I wonder how our anti-gun domestic “progressive faith leaders,” not in danger of being slaughtered and eradicated at any moment by bloodthirsty Marxist savages, feel about that…

The clock is ticking. The 2025–2026 legislative session has roughly two to three weeks remaining, and HB 674 — Rep. Jay Adams’ Firearms Liberty Act, which would establish lifetime concealed handgun permits for law-abiding North Carolinians — is sitting idle in the Senate Rules Committee. The House has already done its job. HB 674 passed the House and now waits on the Senate to act. Senate Rules Chair Bill Rabon controls whether this bill gets a committee hearing — or dies quietly without one. That choice is his. And right now, he’s making the wrong one. [More]
You can tell a lot about “Republicans” when you see how they behave when the votes tell them they are politically invulnerable. This guy thinks he doesn’t even have to try, as evidenced by his discontinued website and paying no attention to his X account for years.
I don’t suppose he’d be interested in no permits at all…?
[T]he Supreme Court has just denied cert in a case where the solicitor general of the United States under Donald Trump actually wanted the court to take it. This is huge great news folks because it is signaling that the Supreme Court is done with criminals defending the right to keep and bear arms and much more likely to let law-abiding ordinary citizens vindicate their rights. This is a big deal, folks, because as you know, those 18 USC 922G cases are problematic because their bad facts make bad law. [Watch]
I’m more concerned with the fact that the SG knows that and proceeded anyway. After all, didn’t NSSF tell us, “USA Today and gun control groups [were] in a tizzy [because] U.S. Solicitor General John Sauer wrote, ‘The United States has a substantial interest in the preservation of the right to keep and bear arms and in the proper interpretation of the Second Amendment…'”?
And Smith himself declares “Prosecutorial discretion has always been a part of our legal system.”
So why does this seem to be a tradition with “pro-gun”Republican administrations?
We condemn any program that involves enforcing unconstitutional “laws”, even if such “laws” are enforced only against violent criminals. Unconstitutional “laws” are illegal, harmful to public safety, tyrannical, and are inevitably enforced against ordinary, non-criminal citizens.
