Notes from the Resistance
The Court ruled 6-3 that the plaintiffs, a group of conservative states and social media users, had no standing to sue the federal government over its attempts to influence the censorship policies of social media giants. Justice Amy Coney Barrett authored the opinion of the court, but Justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Clarence Thomas dissented. [More]
Is it unfair to wonder whose got what on turncoat “conservatives”?
As the lines between reality and fantasy continue to blur in various forms of media, the gaming industry must navigate these complexities with care. It’s not about censoring creative ideas but about understanding and communicating the distinctions between entertainment and reality clearly and responsibly. [More]
Don’t tell us.
Tell Nick’s fellow woke Democrats.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) is seeking answers on whether YouTube changed some of its content moderation policies surrounding firearms due to the influence of government officials, particularly New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D). [More]
What’s he prepared to do if they tell him to go jump in the lake?

NY legislature passes bill requiring posted warning in gun stores [More]
“We need to revolutionize the way we look at guns, like what we did with cigarettes … It used to be that smoking was a glamour symbol—cool, sexy, macho. Now it is dirty, deadly—and banned.”
Is there anything in the law that prohibits posting this right next to it?

I see a Streisand Effect in their futures.
Seems another Democrat had something to say about that once…
Berman, Gipson, and Weber, eh?
I remember that Gipson racist idiot tyrant . I see Pinhead Berman and Gunquack Weber also want men with guns to take away yours.
Hey, if you can ignore the Second Amendment, why would you worry about the First?
Let ’em pass it. Then let ’em try to extradite me.

The Supreme Court on Thursday unanimously backed the National Rifle Association in a First Amendment ruling that could make it harder for state regulators to pressure advocacy groups. The decision means the NRA may continue to pursue its lawsuit against a New York official who urged banks and insurance companies to cut ties with the gun rights group… [More]
Uvalde families sue makers of AR-15, ‘Call of Duty,’ Meta over mass shooting [More]
I see they don’t like the First Amendment any more than they do the Second.
Why someone is attacking me becomes irrelevant when the immediate object is to stop him. Their grief does not legitimize their demand to send lethal force equipped enforcers after me to take my property and abridge my rights.
It’s a shame to see them exploited as useful idiot pawns by the cultural Marxists.

Mad? Sad? Inspired? Fired up and ready to take action? You don’t need to wait for an organization to start a petition on an issue that’s important to you. Start your own petition right now. It will just take a few minutes, and we’ll be here to support you. [More]
If I had time, I might try to see what kind of “support” they’d give me for “Repeal the NFA,” or… ?
If anyone cares to try, let us know what happens.
Are you posting about the shocking assassination attempt on Wednesday upon the Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico? Well, a warning. You and the Big Tech platform you are posting on can be punished for spreading “disinformation’ if the European Commission, the increasingly authoritarian cabinet government of the European Union, has its way. [More]
Oooh… the Europeans are gonna get you!
That’s enough to make me want to speculate that surgeons are working to repair damage when the attempt caused him to forcefully expel his butt plug.
Funny, how the EU is imposing censorship to the benefit of a communist.
What did we save/kick their@$$es for again…?

The current “free speech zone” for the convention is in Pere Lafayette Park, a mere quarter of a mile from the convention venue. By comparison, the Democrats in Chicago have set up a free speech zone about three miles from the United Center where the convention will be held. [More]
So, who picked a Bloomberg city?
And once off the property of the venue, where are such “zones” authorized and why is “the party of small government” demanding them?

House GOP Passes Controversial Bill Labeling Certain Christian Scriptures as ‘Antisemitic,’ Sparking Fears of Criminalizing Religious Beliefs [More]
That oughta make Democrats like them! Figures Lawler’s behind it.
And it won’t just apply to religious beliefs.

Get used to it, and to it expanding far beyond college campuses.

James Woods had an interesting observation about self-named “Queers for Palestine.”
“There’s a bipartisan effort in Congress to equate criticism of the secular state of Israel to violence toward Jewish people in America,” Massie said in a follow-up tweet. “The latter is illegal and the former is protected speech, but if a false equivalency is established, it will be forbidden to criticize Israel.” [More]
Meanwhile, Greg Abbott continues his slide toward the Dark Side.
I’m wondering if Aaron Zelman would have been in danger of running afoul of this newfound demand that we all parrot the ADL.
How instructive to see “New York’s very own” PIX 11 pay so much attention to noted subject matter expert East Harlem resident Arlene on this.
“I think they shouldn’t be learning that on no video,” indeed.
So Fat Alvin presumes the power to coerce rules affecting the entire world… Hey, if you believe you don’t have to respect the Second Amendment, why should the First give you any problems?
Not that Google respects either.

A colleague told police they overheard Decie say, “When something like that happens, it makes me want to go home and get my rifle.” [More]
If hearsay’s all they’ve got on him, why is he facing any charges?
And think carefully about demanding charges for this lunatic.
Because doors can swing both ways.

Ask yourself what would have been exposed had this not worked.

Pass a bill guaranteeing qualified immunity and let’s talk. Can we also do it to these domestic enemies? And these…?
Or, how about this as an alternative?
As a side note, look at all the indignant leftists screaming about rights. Funny, how subjective they are when it comes to freedom of political expression.
Robert Kerr Elementary School in Durand, Michigan, encouraged students to wear hats of their choice for a “hat day” event two years ago. The daughter of Adam Stroub, who filed the lawsuit on her behalf, wore a black hat featuring a white star, an image of an AR-15, and the phrase “Come and Take It,” a set of symbols frequently used to support the right to bear arms. Michael Papanek, a behavioral specialist at the school, noticed the hat and alerted school principal Amy Leffel, who asked Papanek to contact her parents and ask them to bring another hat for her to wear. [More]
Did anyone come in one of these?
Schools have dress codes. I’d file this under “Pick your battles more wisely.”
The real issue is public schools.

Around 700 protestors showed up to protest his appearance, chanting slogans like ‘no justice, no peace,’ ‘Kyle is a killer,’ and ‘lock his ass up.’ [More]
I’m debating going next Tuesday.
Outside can be dangerous enough. That it’s inside the KIVA Auditorium makes avoiding expected trouble problematic.
I’m not confident promoters have thought through all the potentials.

Why should someone who desn’t respect yolur right to arms respect your right to petition for redress? Chad Clifford can afford to smirk because he knows he’s in a safe Democrat district.
Bonus points if anyone knows who my title came from.

UPDATE
Points to DDS for Kurt Hofmann. Some of you guessed Vanderboegh, and that’s who he heard it from.
Wisconsin voters approved two constitutional amendment proposals Tuesday that prohibit private money from being used to conduct elections and mandate only legally designated government officials may administer elections. This makes Wisconsin the 28th state to ban “Zuckbucks”-style electioneering and the second to do so by constitutional amendment. [More]
So, if they’re capable of being rational about elections, what the hell is this about?
Or am I making an assumption that ignores the same First Amendment abridgements that made McCain-Feingold so objectionable?
Feel free to edumacate me on similarities and differences.

During a mandatory “structural racism” class at UCLA medical school, a pro-Hamas guest speaker led students in chants of “Free, Free Palestine” and demanded that they bow down to “mama earth” for a prayer. [More]
