Notes from the Resistance
I spoke directly with Mayor Dowling Watford and Police Chief Donald Hagan. Both profusely apologized and explained that at no point was it their intention to strip the residents and business owners of their Second Amendment rights. [More]
I’d prefer officials do things my way because they share my convictions, but if they just do it out of fear I can live with it.
Justices to hear challenge to regulation of unserialized ‘ghost guns’ [More]
The Founders couldn’t have imagined unserialized guns, right…?
The Illinois Attorney General’s office has apologized to a federal judge demanding answers after implying his ruling against the state’s mass transit concealed carry ban has “safety implications.” [More]
And that is the difference between a Trump-appointed judge and what Kamala will put on the bench.
True, his won’t all be perfectly consistent. But you can bet hers will be.

These are the “One Percenters” the Antifa-types rail against. That they’re given a pass tells us much. [More]
How stupid would you have to be to demand the government control you because lottery-winning narcissits who can’t — or won’t — control themselves demand it?
Before the 1990 Gun-Free School Zones Act (GFSA), only two notable mass shootings had occurred on school campuses. Since the passage of this legislation, many Americans can name over ten incidents without needing to research. [More]
“Safety” is just the excuse. It always has been.
Citizen disarmament freaks have bloood on their hands. Don’t let it be your children’s.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights. [More]
So… does this mean they’re reconsidering…?
“If this were truly a public health emergency, she would have enacted the preamble when the bill was signed back in July. Now that we are close to gathering the signatures needed to suspend the law for two years, she’s invoking an emergency preamble to sidestep the will of the people. She’s acting more like a dictator than a governor,” Toby Leary, the owner of a Cape Cod gun store and a leader of the group, said in a statement. [More]
Well, yeah…
How can there still be any question as to what these people are?

On October 2, 1835, the growing tensions between Mexico and Texas erupt into violence when Mexican soldiers attempt to disarm the people of Gonzales, sparking the Texan war for independence. [More]
Maybe tyrants think third time will be a charm in this country.

Reports confirm that the man has attacked a father and his helpless toddler with a knife, causing the dad to spring into action to protect himself and his child. The father proceeded to fight the thug, and both ended up suffering stab wounds in the process. [More]
A gun could have stopped this without a shot being fired. Everyone against concealed carry shares a portion of the blame for the bloody outcome.

Violent crime dropping in St. Louis, city officials say [More]
And officials have no idea why, meaning it’s sure not anything they’re doing.
Maybe if they add some unarmed targets in the form of violence interrupters they can get those numbers back up again.

The Supreme Court is back in session as of Monday October 7th and they have a case before them in Snope v. Brown that could end all bans nationwide. This comes from a 4th circuit decision upholding the Maryland ban. [Watch]
There’s a huge difference between “could” and “will.”
Cross your fingers and wish for the best, but don’t invest all your hope.

Gillibrand vs. Sapraicone: The Race for US Senate forum [Watch]
So. Mike is for “red flag laws and background checks”?
Then why should I believe someone who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment won’t betray us on semiautos the first chance he gets to distance himself from another “gun-free zone” exploitation?
She has such a huge lead anyway, why should the gun owners in her district who aren’t Fudds bust their humps on a losing battle to push for a betrayer with an (R) after his name, and what message would that send the GOP on acceptable candidates?
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year. [More]
Having personally seen California gun show attendees ignore attempts to preserve RKBA, I have to say their apathy has brought much of their plight upon themselves. The same ones probably haven’t contributed a dime to this case.
Healey nixes proposed machine gun range on Cape Cod – The decision comes after years of debate between environmental groups and the Massachusetts National Guard. [More]
Leave it to “commonsense gun saftey advocates” to be against training.
Reminds me of another environmentalcase attack on guns…

“This is something that was mistakenly enacted. Once we learned that the emergency order was not the order that we intended to declare, we immediately terminated it,” Det. Jarret Romanello, Public Information Officer for the Okeechobee City Police Department, told CBS12 News on Monday. [More]
How may revisions until you came up with the weasel words you thought were least laughable, Jarrett? Tell us you people are inexcusably incompetent without telling us you people are inexcusably incompetent.
And then they posture like the injured party:
“He’s not here today because he was subject to personal attacks all day from all over this country,” Romanello said, referring to Chief Hagan. “Most of the noise is coming from people that live outside the city of Okeechobee.”
So nonlocal opinions aren’t valid? Which logical fallacy is that again? And you’re sayingdeserved criticism is a valid reason to hide under the desk?
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, Boss Hagan deserves to be so attacked, and often, and by people who know how. As do his stooges.

The Minnesota Police Dept. has reported that Lesly Vera, a native of Somalia, was sworn in on Thursday as the department’s first non-citizen officer. [More]
So, foreign nationals can officially disarm citizens on U.S. soil.
What does she swear to?
And who needs blue helmets when “we” can import “our” own?
Hey, the last thing you want is enforcers versed in a Bill of Rights culture.
It’s like they’re rubbing our faces in it.

Governor Newsom signs bipartisan legislation to strengthen California’s gun laws [More]
Every bill sponsor in the list has a (D) after his name except AB 3083 (Domestic violence: protective orders: background checks) author/retired trough-feeding “Only One” Tom Lackey, an aptronym if I ever heard one.
Yeah, such endorsements seem to be longtime SOP.
Tell me what incentives California Republicans have not to sell out gun owners again…?

By opposing the Heller decision she was declaring the Second Amendment is not an individual right. [More]
It will never be “enough.”
