Notes from the Resistance
Once more, the story missing from other reports that no one else is yet talking about: If the Secret Service has “100 records totaling over 400 pages,” why did they tell me — and by extension, the court — under penalty of perjury that they had none? [More]
How do you get away with lying on an affidavit? We may be about to find out. And the media won’t care.
For some reason, the IT term “GIGO” (Garbage In, Garbage Out) comes to mind. That and Priscilla Sims Brown sitting at her desk in a trance asking, “Magic 8 Ball: Should I report this purchase to the feds?” and then acting on its response. [More]
Who knew Amalgamated kept a trio of precogs in a tank over at HQ?
David Codrea discusses Secret Service Hunter Biden and Daniel Defense lawsuit [Listen]
My Friday conversation with host Mark Walters…
It’s not like Congress can’t protect identities when there is a legitimate reason while retaining the power to compel testimony under oath. To assume Schiff and fellow Democrats are the only ones who can be trusted is an obvious political move to keep claims from being verified while the freedom of citizens hangs in the balance. [More]
The press being watchdogs was supposed to mean for the people, not for the ruling elites.
I’ll be joining up with Armed American Radio host Mark Walters this afternoon at 5 Eastern to further flesh out a new and potentially huge development I touched on yesterday.
Go to the AAR website to listen live, find a station, or watch.
The Internet Archive/Wayback Machine is conducting its annual fundraiser. As has been my practice, I donated once more.
Why?
Because ever since Examiner.com shuttered operations, it is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Gun Rights Examiner columns, starting from the first one through to my getting unceremoniously fired in 2015. It is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Operation Fast and Furious “Project Gunwalker” reporting, which would otherwise be lost.
Ditto for old GUNS Magazine “Rights Watch” columns that their website no longer hosts.
I suppose I could go back and copy everything and repost it anew — if I had a solid year to do nothing else but that. But I don’t and I can’t.
I recall somebody here in comments a while back saying something about rethinking his contribution because the founder’s daughter was a big lefty or something like that– I don’t remember the specifics. In any case, I’m not giving for her, I’m giving to help preserve what I consider a vital resource that serves my self-interests. As you know, I never ask for donations for myself. If it’s in your self-interest to see the history of Fast and Furious (or anything else) preserved, this is the best way to do it that I know of.

What Murphy is doing is extorting law enforcement that refuses to waste resources enforcing edicts that clearly violate the Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling, like the Oregon sheriffs who have gone on record as refusing to go after Measure 114 magazine ban defiers. And not just them, but also on non-Democrat-dominated political jurisdictions, as exemplified by the growing number of “Second Amendment sanctuary” cities and counties (what lying, race-baiting Democrats smear as “Civil War Flashpoints”). Add to that states that not only won’t enforce infringements, but that have enacted their own laws to override them, and are fighting in court to have them upheld, like Texas suing ATF “for unlawfully prohibiting firearm silencers.” [More]
If only the Founders had foreseen the potential for centralized tyranny and established a federalist system with delegated and reserved divisions of power… oh, wait…
If the California DOJ won’t let Ed buy a gun, what’s to say they’ll let him keep the ones he already has if their misidentification persists? It’s not like they don’t know what he has and where he lives. That alone, along with the propensity of state disarmament enforcers to violently descend in the middle of the night, makes calling attention to his plight a matter of personal safety. [More]
Nothing says “shall not be infringed” like “How do we know you’re not a criminal?”
Start with the fact that Schumer’s stated goal, “get a path to citizenship for … however many undocumented there are here” will create an overwhelming number of new Democrats. Anyone who disputes that is deliberately ignoring all observable demographic realities. Even the terminology he employs is a calculated deception. It’s not a “path.” With the numbers involved, we’re really talking about a superhighway. And guess who pays the tolls? [More]
Dismiss this observable danger at your peril. And dismiss anyone who does.
With a radical like Jeffries on track to be the House Democratic Leader, look for even more outrageous efforts to subvert the right to keep and bear arms than even Nancy Pelosi (who at times tried to keep a lid on the next generation), was able to propose. [More]
The real question is will he be radical enough to where even Clown World Republicans know better than to “compromise” and cave?
What makes 97percent’s “roadmap” all the more insidious is that the organization is (at times) successfully employing a “divide and conquer” strategy by claiming to represent both “responsible” gun owners (as if opponents are irresponsible) as well as “bipartisan” (that is, RINO) interests. We’re essentially talking Fudds and Democrat gun owners, who place faith in centralized government disarmament diktats and hostility to “deplorables” above uninfringed freedom for their countrymen. [More]
In the third and final installment in this series, we look at the gun owners who are helping make the grand disarmament deception possible.
Let’s now look at the four “policy” infringements the 97percent group wants to see imposed under the force of law. [More]
This is Part Two of a three-part series exposing a group of “kinder, gentler” Astroturf gun-grabbers employing a divide-and-conquer strategy that low-information gun owners may fall for without an intervention by those who can see through the weasel words.
But let’s go to the “study” and see what gun owners will have to give up in order to achieve the “benefits” of “could” and “has the potential,” assuming they’re not just ignoring factors they have no solutions for and aren’t just making sh… uh… stuff up. [More]
Part One of a three-part series: Let’s unfold this “roadmap” and see where it leads.
“December 07, 2022 (Wednesday) will be the last day to purchase ANY firearm without a valid Oregon Firearm Purchase Permit.” [More]
The useful idiot dilettante billionaires bankrolling this abomination don’t care whose livelihoods are destroyed or whose rights are usurped as long as this wins them “progressive” accolades for being enlightened and benevolent. It’s not like they have to worry about what “those people” want.
Big Tech argues they deserve exemptions because they are not content providers. Acting as content deniers, suppressing anything that does not advance a state-approved “progressive” narrative, and facilitating the universal spread of that which does, effectively amounts to the same thing. [More]
How is removing legal content at the demand of Democrat politicians not a de facto First Amendment violation?
He is presuming to apply terror rules against U.S. citizens on U.S. soil for, in the case of gun owner advocates, exercising our First Amendment-recognized right to defend and promote our Second Amendment-recognized right. [More]
If “progressive” spooks have their way, “conservatives” being “canceled” will take on a whole new meaning.
Here’s yesterday’s conversation with Armed American Radio host Mark Walters. [Listen]
I’ll be joining Armed American Radio host Mark Walters this afternoon at 5 Eastern for an election postmortem.
Go to the AAR website to find a station near you, or listen or watch via live stream.
Unfortunately, or more likely as planned, the answer to keeping U.S. arms from being smuggled across the border into Mexico is something those screaming the loudest for citizen disarmament and against an uncontrolled northward flow of drugs and illegal aliens don’t want to hear about: Control the damn border. [More]
There is no new thing under the sun and the more things change the more they stay the same. Hey, it’s not like a low-information public deliberately being kept that way will recognize old lies being dusted off and reintroduced as “truths”.
“The victim can be seen on police body-worn cameras telling the police that Mr. Muldrow probably saved his life,” the informational alert concluded. “Many other witnesses on the scene spoke up for Mr. Muldrow’s heroic actions. None of that mattered.” [More]
I interviewed Muldrow for Firearms News to get what happened straight from him.
These people run for office because they represent themselves as leaders for championing the beliefs of their constituents. That means they’re expected to lead, and if they don’t know how there are plenty willing to help and navigate them through all the specifics and questions and pitfalls in arenas they’ve been fighting in for years. [More]
If they’re too chicken to bring up hot-button issues before they’re elected, what makes us think they’ll champion them afterward?
When McMullin makes accusations about betraying the Constitution, a dispassionate conclusion would be someone who knows how to do that like a pro is projecting his penchant for betrayal on others for obvious reasons. [More]
It really says something about this moron’s arguments when the best rebuttal to them comes from Pee-wee Herman…
On an unrelated note:
Those of you who noticed the site was down all day, I kept getting 504 Gateway Timeout messages– I did all the things I knew how to do on my end, which isn’t much: clearing the cache, restarting, cussing loudly, but ended up calling HostGator tech support who were able to identify that the IP address for the site didn’t match and they did a fix. I don’t know how that happened. That was hours ago and the site is just getting back to where I can access it more often than it times out, so I was able to get in, approve comments and post this promo for my latest AmmoLand article.
Per normal, unless something YUGE happens, I don’t plan on doing updates over the weekend (I will be working on articles behind the scenes and spending a day on the leaves that bury the yard every year around this time). Hopefully, the situation is resolved and any news link tips received Monday won’t be a wasted effort.
Knock on wood.
I ended up doing two hours yesterday.
This is not science—this is propaganda and it’s a gross abuse of public trust by leftist quacks with a naked political agenda. [More]
A fair assessment would conclude they are deliberately committing malpractice.

They presume undermining “the security of a free State” by disarming their countrymen will result in safety, even though they can point to no such outcome after decades of trying. They also just gave Kelly’s political campaign a favorable-by-association media boost that will be seen by millions, but conveniently won’t set off Federal Election Commission in-kind contribution alarms. [More]
Astroturf groups get millions in free publicity to spread their lies, while the establishment media ignores, blocks, or shuts down the truth about the right to keep and bear arms every chance it gets.
On a side note to the last post, the video of my interview has been “disappeared” along with the rest of the terminated YouTube account. When looking to see if it’s posted anywhere else, I happened across this years-old commie hit piece about the Las Vegas murders that I’d been previously unaware of, which included Alex Jones and me among its targets:
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, the other far-Right trolls, ISIS, were quick to claim that not only the attack was carried out in it’s name, but that also the shooter had converted is Islam months ago. However, according to both the FBI and other law enforcement, this is simply not the case. In the past, ISIS was also claimed other horrific acts in it’s name, despite there being no connection. Many on the Right however refused to accept this. Writing for the Oath Keepers militia, David Codrea wrote:
News services are scrambling to uncover what happened in last night’s massacre in Las Vegas, to be first in revealing some unknown dimension to a story that has the attention of the world. That’s led to conflicting accounts about the shooter—or in some accounts “shooters, and about motives (ISIS has already claimed responsibility, which the FBI denies) and about practically everything.
The blame and hatred coming from the citizen disarmament camp is palpable. Celebrities are piling on. Politicians and gun-grab zealots are dancing in the blood, which they blame on NRA, on “conservatives,” on whites, and on anyone else the collectivists choose to smear as “Nazis” and “fascists.”
Codrea’s rant ends with stating that the “hard left” (by this he means, the Democratic Party), will soon move to take away guns from American citizens, a common refrain from the militia movement, and a central concept within white nationalist literature, such as The Turner Diaries.
Nothing I wrote was untrue. Yet according to this anonymous “anarchist,” presenting both sides equates with refusing to accept, and citing tactics, smears, and documented citizen disarmament end goals equates with a racist rant.
According to them, a fascist is someone who wants to limit government power. A racist is someone who advocates for the most egalitarian power-sharing arrangement ever conceived.
Consider the source:
It’s Going Down is a digital community center from anarchist, anti-fascist, autonomous anti-capitalist and anti-colonial movements. Our mission is to provide a resilient platform to publicize and promote revolutionary theory and action.
Kurt Hofmann’s adage comes to mind.
At the time of the ruling, attorney Stephen Stamboulieh advised that no appeal would be filed due to time, expense, and the unlikelihood of it succeeding. This could change that. A motion for reconsideration may now be feasible since Biden’s attorney Clark publicly acknowledged the investigation. [More]
With his lawyer publicly acknowledging an investigation, ATF’s “Hunter Biden privacy” claim at this point is demonstrably BS.
And even for men who pride themselves on their ability to handle themselves, fights aren’t like in the movies. You could get killed, crippled, maimed, or otherwise seriously injured. [More]
So is “Real Man” here bragging about his “toxic masculinity” and offering to duke it out with any and all attackers? Leave it to the side that gets triggered over pronouns to declare themselves the arbiters of what a real man is.
It sounds like everything Brady United, Everytown/Moms, and Giffords and the Democrats are demanding here, doesn’t it? “Commonsense gun safety”…? [More]
They already have everything the antis are willing to SAY they want here…
