Notes from the Resistance
The Democratic governor’s changes to House Bill 217/Senate Bill 749 remove the word “fixed” from part of the bill’s definition of an assault firearm, which could sharply expand the range of semi-automatic rifles and pistols swept into the ban, Republicans say. [More]
It’s good that DOJ is going to fight this, but let’s be careful not to turn “common use” into a trap.
Ultimately, it boils down to how many Virginians are committed to the Commonwealth’s motto.
REMOVED AGAIN: Our Executive Director @iancesca1776 was informed he needed to leave the committee room because his firearm pin made others feel unsafe. [More]
Those in power can use that excuse to trample a lot of rights– like you see being done here.
To paraphrase Rhett Butler, they ought to be made to feel unsafe, and often, and by someone who knows how.

So, what’s it take to get the “pro-gun” administration’s attention?
Maybe if Thomas Massie or Rand Paul set the wheels and political pressure in motion to apply for a furlough so he could be their guest at the next State of the Union speech…? Even having it denied, which it probably would be, would attract wider media attention outside of the contained 2A echo chamber, making his plight a lot more difficult to just ignore.
Cops Arrest Man on His Own Property After Karen Neighbor Hears Gunshots [Watch]
I hope he gets a lawyer and that lying sow and her co-conspirators get what’s coming to them. I also suggest he file a complaint with the Tennessee Attorney General’s Civil Rights Enforcement Division and demand an investigation into falsifying a police report.
That said, he should have just said “I’ll speak to you through my attorney” and shut up.
And point of order: I don’t like using “Karen” any more than I do “Boomer” for reasons stated at each link.

New York has agreed to drop a requirement that applicants for concealed carry gun permits list their former and current social media accounts so officials can confirm their “character.” [More]
For now.
Let communist Democrats keep gaining power there, and “gun permits” and “social media” won’t even be permitted memories, let alone issues for proletariat consensus.

Michigan Sheriff Michael J. Bouchard … arrested a man who posted a meme about him and the sheriff said the man was “trying to threaten and intimidate” with the meme. He then stated the 1st Amendment makes people “feel empowered, emboldened, and safe,” so he had to teach the public a lesson. [Watch]

That’s gotta be a First Amendment “right to petition” violation. Not that their minds aren’t already made up and the hearings aren’t anything but theatrics to make it look like they’re responsibly deliberating.

Where is that plan of action that was due 30 days after the President’s Executive Order, Protecting Second Amendment Rights, dated February 7, 2025? Where is the DOJ on these grave violations of Americans’ gun rights? Why is the subversion of our Constitution so commonplace that lawmakers feel free to adopt infringements from countries that do not recognize a God-given right to defend life and liberty from tyranny?

This bill addresses the justified use of force. Highlighted Provisions: This bill: requires an individual to report using force; and establishes that an individual must report use of force in order to receive a pretrial justification hearing. [More]

Well, now that DOJ has announced it’s new Second Amendment Rights Section, the complaint has been resubmitted to see if it gets different results this time around.
My prediction is they’re still using the same soft soap.
