Notes from the Resistance
Here’s the (latest) rights scam the Bradys are pulling, #SHOWGUNSAFETY, and, no surprise, it looks like Hollywood is tripping all over itself to do its part. [More]
Just imagine what we could do with an army of Alec Baldwins!
Simply put, “gun control” doesn’t work, and it’s astounding that the head of the firearms manufacturer trade association is publicly insisting that it does. [More]
Industry CYA at the expense of our rights is unacceptable.
It would help if he didn’t automatically buy into prohibitionist propaganda, but by doing so he relieves us of the obligation to take him as an impartial and objective observer. [More]
Why is there such a difference in the numbers and rates of violent crimes betweeen two armed cultures? Hint: It ain’t because of “gun control” laws.
“When seconds count, police are minutes away” takes over, and the only rational and effective “Action Plan” is “Stop the Threat.” [More]
If you’re going to listen to bureaucrats on keeping safe from animal attacks, you might as well just put on a crash helmet and roller skates, and strap an Acme Rocket to your back.
And his excuse for going after Fleet Farm is that its retail employees can’t do the impossible and read the hearts and minds of customers, and that it is therefore responsible for not just their criminal actions, but for the subsequent actions of those they deal with. [More]
A commie gun-grabber commits lawfare against a deep pockets victim because he can. Just like the Founders intended, right?
Can NICS be used for purposes for which it is not federally authorized? [More]
It makes fair the question “What else could the prohibitonists use it for?”
Firearms News March 2024 is on the newsstands! Pick up a copy at your local magazine stand, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, or major book retailer. [More]
My “UNLV Shootings Highlight Futility of Life-Endangering College ‘Gun Control'”is on pg. 12.
Why are Haitians who want to live their lives in peace at the mercy of the merciless? [More]
So the real problem is, and always has been, guns only in the hands of tyrants and predators…?
This pretty much defined the day. Those expecting a Second Amendment defense decrying Chevron deference overreach instead heard the justices trying to grasp competing definitions of “function of a trigger” along with scenarios unlikely to persuade judges who equate “common use” with widespread commercial popularity. [More]
You were expecting a slam dunk…?
This is what the Giffords, and Bradys, and Demanding Moms of the world would have us all reduced to, by force of “law.” [More]
Dead men tell no tales.
In The Deadly Path, Forcelli reintroduces us to many of the other characters and scenarios we covered in our attempts to get corporate media and Congress to investigate for themselves. [More]
The guilty want this to be forgotten. This book can be a tool to renew interest in dragging their lethal actions back into the light– but only if you use it.
Mike and I were not only ready to go with it (albeit unwilling to burn a source and post under a requested embargo), but after the mainstream press has been on it for days now, there was only one place hosting the letter (other stories only talked about it) from the attorney for the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association to Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Darrell Issa detailing not just the setup for the grenade operation, but also, and importantly, about the retaliation his ATF agent-client was subjected to by DOJ management for testifying at a House Oversight Committee hearing. [More]
A name from earlier investigations of years past once more brings ATF’s criminal “gunwalker” plot to the front burner with a new book and an exclusive interview.
For whatever reason, no doubt entirely my fault, when I posted here yesterday morning to promote my AmmoLand piece on recent court shenanigans with butterfly knives, it didn’t have a link.
We have two citizen disarmament cases wending their way through two courts, but they both rely on essentially the same thing: superstition relying on ancient barbaric belief systems that say the people exist to serve rulers rather than the government exists to serve the people. [More]
We are supposed to be beyond rule by kapu, where offenders are severely punished for offending the gods, which judges and politicians increasingly portray themselves to be when they presume to deny unalienable rights.

It turns out all too often that teachers and administrators are the biggest bullies of all… [More]
Agenda pushers subject millions of children to psychological manipulation, denial of reality, and insane overcontrol, and is it any wonder that the weaker links sometimes snap?
The issue as far as Raskin and Markey’s latest affront to liberty goes, is that nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government delegated authority to ban paramilitary activities. They are usurping power – or trying to. And though Raskin cites authority including the Supreme Court’s admission in Heller “that the Second Amendment ‘does not prevent the prohibition of private paramilitary organizations,’” it would be interesting to see how that would hold up against the more recent Bruen standard of the understanding at the time of the Founding. Especially noting historical examples like Allen, or more to the point, Capt. John Parker at Lexington Green… [More]
“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for few public officials,” George Mason asked and answered. Curious, how public officials are bent on destroying that…
There’s one other disqualifier though that should clear up ATF Director Steve Dettelbach’s inability to define what an “assault weapon” is, itself reminiscent of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson taking a pass on defining “woman.” He should have just said “A Marlin 70620 Model 60 .22 Long Rifle.” [More]
Man, they’re letting anything be a “weapon of war” these days…
“Using AI technology, we re-created the voices of those shot and killed by guns so they can call our representatives in hopes of changing our country’s gun laws.” [More]
What do you call people who feed off the dead? Like the truism goes, garbage in, garbage out.
The former president and — legal challenges aside — presumed GOP contender for the office in November, knew just which buttons to push to stoke the boundless enthusiasm of the thousands of supporters. [More]
This is what we’ve got to work with. And work we must.
I left suddenly on Thursday because I’d just gotten my press credentials approved to hear Donald Trump speak at NRA’s Great American Outdoor Show and had to get to Harrisburg, PA.
I spent yesterday writing it up for Firearms News.
That leaves a potential conflict, as duly enacted existing law, which mandates “The commissioner shall establish a program for training individuals in the safe handling of firearms,” does not add a proviso saying “except for firearms that Democrats don’t like.” And the truth about that is all of them, as the Fudds will find out when they’re no longer needed. [More]
Who knew “commonsense gun safety” meant no training? My Freedom of Access Act Request attempts to find out who’d behind that bit of idiocy.
And I just sent it out this morning:
This piece came out while I was away. [Read]
Len Savage was arrested after defending himself, and while the charges against him were dropped, he’s demanding an investigation into LE motives for why his attacker isn’t being prosecuted.
It would be a “yuge” mistake. Knowing the truth about Kennedy’s historic support for citizen disarmament would take the fire out of a lot of gun-owning voters’ bellies. [More]
Stop me if you’ve heard about Trump’s advisors giving him crap advice before. Would you really vote to put someone who doesn’t trust you with guns a heartbeat away from the presidency?
Let incarcerated criminals vote for citizen disarmament, serve on juries, and run for office to stop “gun violence”! [More]
Democrats — and not just the “extreme” ones — are using inmates to secure control of the asylum.
With a history of personal nastiness combined with repeated demands to lay claim to the rights of his countrymen, it’s natural that the targets of Baldwin’s obsession would see the humor in his becoming victim of his own hubris. [More]
Or as Shakespeare wrote, “Hoist with his own petard…”
It should be a straightforward enough process and you’d think the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the Department of Justice would be on the same page, instead of pointing fingers, abdicating responsibilities, and just plain getting things wrong, especially considering how they increasingly hold Federal Firearms Licensees to “zero tolerance standards” over paperwork glitches. [More]
It took fear of getting spanked by the court, but they finally, grudgingly agreed to an appeals process.
Yet the NRA under LaPierre was instrumental in urging its members to give power to politicians they knew would end up working against them, and then either acted surprised when it happened or just ignored it when it did. [More]
Ever notice how those who say “Politics is the art of the possible” are always counseling appeasement instead of pushing envelopes to see what’s really possible…?
Tester demands they be disarmed when they go to the post office not even allowed to keep their lawfully owned guns securely stored in their vehicles … If it were up to Tester, we would not have the Bruen decision… [More]
Republican contenders Johnson and Sheehy can use both of these issues against him.
