Notes from the Resistance
In an attempt to subvert the Supreme Court’s clear directions in the Bruen decision, California’s gun grabbing Democrats have actually made their case weaker through their own arguments. [More]

Gascón Bringing in Country’s Highest-Paid Attorney to Fight His Prosecutors – Gascón’s prosecutors are mad that he won’t let them do their jobs. Courts agree with the prosecutors, but Gascón is taking it to the California Supreme Court. [More]

“I do not intend for this to become a political case, a political circus, a forum for partisan politics,” U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols said. [More]
Who says federal judges don’t have a sense of humor?
Notwithstanding any other law, any person, including an entity, attorney, or law firm, who seeks declaratory or injunctive relief to prevent this state, a political subdivision, a governmental entity or public official in this state, or a person in this state from enforcing any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, or any other type of law that regulates or restricts firearms, or that represents any litigant seeking that relief, is jointly and severally liable to pay the attorney’s fees and costs of the prevailing party….

You don’t want to upset those charged with opening the cage and releasing the tiger with any traumatized and/or mutilated survivors who might have reasons to show them why that’s not a good idea…

Weeks after she was denied a protection order, a Michigan woman and her family are dead – A judge denied the order June 27, saying there was insufficient evidence of immediate or irreparable injury. The woman and her family were found dead Sunday, officials said. [More]
The prohibitionists will say this proves the need for “red flag laws.”
Who thinks a piece of paper would have stopped this maniac or prevented him from getting his hands on whatever he wanted for a butchery spree?
Look what they (purposely) didn’t tell us when they report he “bought a gun.”
The only way to prevent such atrocities, proven once more, is to separate the threat from the victim pool. With full due process.
That may not be foolproof? Anybody see any guarantees in life? And a system could be set up that would do that and do a much better job of considering individual circumstances and probabilities than one-size-fits-all prior restraints.
The alternative is denying rights to the innocent. We call governments that do that “tyrannical” for a reason. We’re supposed to accept that because of statistically rare aberrations lawmakers refuse to more effectively address, mostly for political reasons?

Ohio college racks up millions in interest on cash owed to bakery over false racism allegations – The school and a former dean were found guilty of libeling the bakery as racist [More]
I’ve been following this because false accusations of being haters are made all the time against cultural traditionalists and gun owners, I’ve covered Oberlin’s anti-gun shenanigans in the past, I’ve posted plenty about the town’s “progressive” nonsense over the years, I admire the bakery owners’ courage to not resort to woke cowardice in the face of ginned-up media hostility, and I used to pass through there all the time on the way to my buddy’s airfield (since relocated).
Hawaii AG Instructs Chiefs of Police to Broadly Grant Concealed Carry Licenses, but not Open Carry [More]
I’ll have to ask Stephen if George Young will get his legal fees covered.
Girlfriend of thug who was stabbed to death by New York City bodega worker WON’T face charges for knifing him three times because ‘prosecutors say she was defending her beau’ [More]
The poor worker is not so lucky.
And the productive sector not only puts up with it, they vote their collectivist oppressors in.
At least tell me she’ll still be able to get all the abortions she wants…

Radioactive flesh-eating zombie apocalypse to follow. People on the other side are going to block off the bridges, right?

Particularly after Heller and McDonald, as recently reaffirmed by Bruen, the government certainly cannot prevent Petitioner from exercising his Second Amendment right to keep firearms in the home. And the Second Circuit may not use Torvicia’s exercise of that constitutional right to render him vulnerable to government searches and seizures of his
firearms which violate Fourth Amendment protections but for some atextual, judge-invented special needs exception. [More]
“Single issue” apologists and flat-out deceivers take note.

Hoover’s lawyers asked Howard last week to rule that the National Firearms Act, a 1934 law that restricted machine gun ownership by creating a tax and license requirement on them, conflicts with the U [sic] Constitution’s Second Amendment guarantee of a right to bear arms. [More]
If the standard is whether NFA is consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding, of course, it conflicts.
Whether the rulers will admit that or not is a whole ‘nother story.

I got the press release via email but I don’t see it posted at their press center yet. Check back later with them and I’d be surprised if it doesn’t show up, along with a link to the complaint.
Man jailed for murder by left-wing DA for stabbing attacker in self-defense [More]
You ever get the feeling the wrong people are on trial?
UPDATE
GoFundMe deletes page for NYC bodega clerk who fatally stabbed attacker [More]
I have to tell ya, Curtis Wells using that platform concerned me because GoFundMe’s self-created woke rep discourages people who don’t want to give them their cut from contributing. I need to find out if he has a fund set up that accepts contributions another way.
