Notes from the Resistance
Just tell me you’ve got Donald on board.
I suppose it’s too much to mention the only law that will work…

Johnson has been charged with first-degree murder, felon in possession of a firearm and two counts of felony firearm. [More]
Did somebody in charge decide he could be trusted without a custodian, or is the current system just demonstrably lazy and insane?

The family hoped officers would either seize the weapon or transfer it elsewhere. The gun ended up with a third party, then eventually ended up back in Harris’ hands. Police could not take possession of the weapon at the time due to Missouri’s lack of a red flag law. [More]
Ya gotta wonder when people are going to wake up and realize it’s not the weapon that needs to be transferred elsewhere…

Ten people were shot, including those who were killed, as gunfire erupted on the 1200 booth of North Alden Street at about 2 a.m., the Philadelphia Police told WPVI, adding that more than 100 people were at the scene for the party. [More]
I can’t tell you how many of my gatherings have been ruined by this.
Keep ignoring the undeniable and blaming the guns, idiot prohibitionists.
Hennings pleaded guilty in March 2024 to two counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm. A U.S. District Court judge sentenced Hennings to 100 months in federal prison. [More]

Did anyone seriously think there would be?
Those whose Constitutional mandate is to not infringe on it executed a citizen for exercising his right. Their pretext, that some of his sales allegedly went to “prohibited persons,” is a fraudulent excuse because there is no delegated power authorizing the whole concept.
There’s only one way to address that problem…
Schierbaum said the suspected shooter has been arrested at least 11 times and is someone who should never have been in possession of a gun. [More]
Yeah? And how does he propose to make that happen?
Interesting response options…

Tangentially-Related UPDATES (Alright, they happened around Atlanta, so I’m gonna stuff ’em all in the same drawer)
These two take me back years, to a job I briefly touched on. They hired me to run their plant in SoCal but wanted to indoctrinate me with an introductory month-long gig as the preseident’s personal assistant, to learn the company (his) ways.
I wasn’t there but a day or two when he got the call that his Atlanta plant manager needed brain tumor surgery, so my trial by fire was to fly down there and take over the factory until such time as he could come back to work or a permanent replacement could be found.
I was going through the financials with the controller down there and asked why we were being hit up for something called “MARTA,” and she explained the Metropolitian Regional Transit Authority sales tax. The (black) foreman overheard us, laughed, and told me it stood for something else.

The now 49-year-old father of 12-year-old twin girls focuses on the bad guys who end up using the guns, he said. “Guns are not the problem,” said DeVito, who plans to retire next month. “I’m an advocate of the second amendment. At the end of the day, the problem is guns ending up in the hands of the wrong people.” [More]
And there’s only one solution to that. The one nobody wants to acknowledge.

Dettelbach, in the AP interview, declined to comment on the specifics of Card’s case, which an independent commission in Maine is investigating. But he said it is clear that the nation needs to make it harder for people “that everyone agrees should not have firearms, who the law says are not entitled to have firearms, to get them because it’s too easy to get them now.” [More]
It’s just that there’s this “due process” thing those who would rule us don’t want to have to follow…
