Notes from the Resistance
SAF DECLARES ‘WE WILL DEFEND DONALD TRUMP’S GUN RIGHTS!’ [More]
Between this and Hunter Biden, we may see some walls come tumbling down.
We talked about Trump being a “prohibited person” here and here, and I’ve got a Firearms News piece scheduled to come out today that launches from that point, but I gotta confess, there’s a part of me that feels like rubbing “take the guns first, due process later” in his face.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has scheduled oral arguments Aug. 14 in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of California’s one-gun-per-month (OGM) purchase restriction, in a case known as Nguyen v. Bonta. [More]
Of course it’s an infringement.
Of course the Ninth Circuit knows it.
And of course they’re going to do everything in their power to stall things until Democrats get the national majority they need to remake SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
With your money.
Crime gun intelligence centers — or CGICs — use cutting-edge technology to solve and prevent crimes — technology that traces firearms from crime scenes; that links ballistics evidence and connects shootings; and that identifies the gun traffickers and straw purchasers arming gang members and other violent criminals. [More]
In other words, if you asked her right there how many guns retrieved from crime scenes implicated the original purchaser as the trigger puller, you’d get a Jackie Gleason response, and the rest is to try and blame high-volume outlets like Bass Pro Shops and Cabellas for deep pockets PLCAA end run extortion attempts.
Meanwhile, the real problem, Democrat policies “cultivating” constituents who can’t be trusted with a gun, not only isn’t addressed, it can’t even be talked about.

In an interview on Capitol Hill with Fox News Digital, Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., said that instead of drafting new restrictions, people would be better off if all the laws already in place were enforced. “[A] little birdie told me that there’s over 20,000 gun laws in America today. So here’s a novel idea: let’s just enforce those,” he said. [More]
If this is the understanding from our “leaders” (and some of the less qualified “gunfluencers”), no wonder the Democrats have been so successful.
HERE’s an even more novel idea: Shall not be infringed.
When you guys raise your hand and take an oath, is it all just ritual ceremony to you?

NYPD preparing to revoke Donald Trump’s license to carry a gun after felony conviction in New York [More]
Fortunately (and predictably, at least for the present):
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
It’s another try at this piece of treasonous Democrat subversion:
This Act may be cited as the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion Act or the GOSAFE Act.
In other words, Democrat gasbags are doing what they always do on guns: Gaslighting.
As an aside, McBath was a panelist for the Astroturf 97percent phonies who pretend to represent “reasonable” gun owners, and she let slip she was appealing to Fudds because “Bringing them into these discussions really helps us understand better ways to infiltrate…”

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has announced it will hear oral arguments in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regarding arm braces for pistols, during the week of Aug. 5. [More]
Which Founding Father would you most like to imagine caning Steve Dettelbach?
[More]
Ask me how I knew he would be the one Republican…
Sit on your hands in his race, PA Dist. 1 gun owners– yes, his Democrat opponent is a gun-grabber, but what difference does it make when he’s a Giffords endorsee? You need to show the GOP that if they don’t field acceptable candidates they can feel out pain.

Worst States to be a Gun Owner (2024 Updated) [More]
I’d say I was “surprised to see Ohio on this list” due to a Republican governor and Senate/Assembly supermajority domination, but I’ve been warning about DeSwine since forever, and as for the rest of them, the Stupid Party has allowed the Republican-for-as-long-as-I-can-remember district I moved into to be gerrymandered over to the Democrats at both federal and state levels.
Between that and fielding tepid, uninspiring Vichycons to run for office…
A dispute between neighbors turned deadly after a man pulled out a gun and fatally shot the other at point blank range in a dispute over a shared water valve. Surveillance footage shows two couples in Escazú, Costa Rica, launching into a heated argument which took a dramatic turn. [More]
Strict gun laws will do it, they said…

GOA CONDEMNS NEW RADICAL ANTI-GUN POLICY AT YOUTUBE — BROUGHT TO YOU BY ALVIN BRAGG AND ANTI-GUN LOBBY [More]
“As Stephen King said, ‘If your school has banned a book, get to a bookstore or library and find out what it is they don’t want you to know,'” said a comnment poster to this.
So, see? YouTube still allows teaching other important life skills.
CCRKBA: ‘JOE BIDEN SUPPORTS SON’S GUN RIGHTS, BUT NOT YOURS’ [More]
Show me an elitist violence monopolist who doesn’t.
The long-held myth that men who own guns are … err, overcompensating for something … has been debunked by scientists in a new study published in the American Journal of Men’s Health. Rather, researchers at the University of Texas at San Antonio found that men quite satisfied with certain physical assets are most likely to have guns. [More]
Well, look at the type of “males” who consider themselves wits for questioning .
Hit it, Maria:

Just wait. They’ll turn up at crime scenes. And fuel more infringement hysteria.
Many of you know I used to do policies and procedures for a defense contractor, and we had inventory controls and secure stores protocols in place to account for and prevent stuff going “missing.” Quite simply, it’s not that hard to achieve.
So this is either inexcusable incompetence and laziness, or outright criminality. Either way, if this happened at an FFL’s place of business, he would be shuttered and facing charges.
On the plus side, even when they have total registration they can’t handle it. Of course, we’ve known that for some time.
What a way to dishonor a memory. I do wonder what he’d have thought of the coerced name change…

A girl is in a critical condition after being shot by an attacker on a motorbike while having dinner with her family. The nine-year-old was one of four people injured shortly after 9pm on Wednesday at a restaurant in Hackney, east London. [More]
50 pounds says the attacker’s name is not even close to “Nigel” or “Cedric”…
And when it comes to England’s vaunted “gun control,” as I’ve long maintained, we ain’t seen nothin’ yet.
And if Lord High “Only One” Chief Supt Conway really believes that “indiscriminate nature of gun crime” blather he just spouted for mass swallowing, e’s a bleedin’ twit, e’ is.

A new law gives Maryland leaders the ability to sue the gun industry for their wrongful actions. This is a major step in holding the gun industry accountable when they break the law and exacerbate America’s gun violence crisis. [More]
