Notes from the Resistance
‘Bridging the Divide’ on Firearms Laws [More]
Oh, look, kinder, gentler gun control couched as a meeting of reasonable minds. Where have we seen that before? And before that?
And when we no longer have to expend resources on these, we can focus on our next steps toward the goal.
If these rights swindlers wanted to attract more gun owners, they’d be stumping for BIDS– and not doing so reveals the fraud behind “background checks.”
NYPD officer assigned to Mayor Mamdani’s security suspended after off-duty shooting [More]
Justification or not aside, what would happen if he were what they call “a civilian”? Assuming he had the wherewithal to obtain a permit and this wasn’t one of those “sensitive locations,” and not that he could have legally been armed anyway if the bar across the street factored into his actions…
If the Tyrant Zohran has his way, that last part won’t be an issue. Hey, he’s got his phalanx…
I will do him the honor of addressing specific points he made even though he wouldn’t do the same for me. I note Bearing Arms requires you to join to even read comments, so I’ll have no way of knowing what they’re saying over there.
McGuire’s absurdly offensive contention disparaging armed defense while justifying disarming his constituents evokes nothing so much as the scene from the movie Independence Day when the president asks the alien, “What is it you want us to do?” [More]
That and they’ve given themselves a pass on a gun-in-car storage law violation penalty they exact on mere citizens. Could it be more in-your-face to gun owners?
Just one more step on the journey of a thousand miles…
Steve Hilton, a legal immigrant and political newcomer running as a Republican for governor of California, said the “absolute failure on every front” by current Gov. Gavin Newsom and Democrats means the GOP has a real shot at pulling off an upset in the Golden State. [More]
And he appears to understand 2A…
So are my critics right, and will I have to eat my words?
This “anecdote and isolated example” aside, it’s on them to show how legal immigrants who become naturalized citizens will vote our way gun issues, because the polls I’ve found say they overwhelmingly vote against us.
Plus, the California vote is hardly a lock and urban populations will decide it.
Then again, sometimes I wonder why I bother.
The Iran War Is Being Used By The Deep State To Distract Trump From The Domestic Prosecutions That Must Take Place Against The Deep State! [Watch]
I’ll find time to watch (with admitted mixed feelings).
Too bad these are so slow to load. I still stand by every one of them.

Are regular marijuana users the modern equivalent of “habitual drunkards” at the Founding? What about someone who regularly takes a sleep gummy? In oral arguments before the Supreme Court today in United States v. Hemani, the federal government argues that they are the same. [More]
“Full might,” eh?
Anyone who can’t be trusted with weed and a gun…
Or booze and a gun…
I’m thinking Bondi needs lithium therapy…

During the trial, the jury heard how Colin Gray had bought his son an AR-style rifle for Christmas the year before the attack, even though the boy had been questioned by police just seven months earlier about online threats to commit a school shooting. [More]
The AR reference is a bit of hyperbolic hand-wringing because there’d be just as much outrage over a Fudd gun being used, but there is a point here that merits discussion– when you know something is wrong and you enable it anyway, you do share culpability in outcomes.
Denial is one thing, and it’s understandable when admitting it can be so overwhelmingly devastating, but the fact that it is is your first clue. Those of us who have had to make tough decisions in child-raising that ultimately resulted in successful adult outcomes should thank God we were never faced with having to confront a child so broken he could not be fixed.
And if one of mine had been taken from me because his father was too weak to confront reality, I’d blame him, too.

That’s gotta be a First Amendment “right to petition” violation. Not that their minds aren’t already made up and the hearings aren’t anything but theatrics to make it look like they’re responsibly deliberating.
I wonder if Harmeet would agree…

Cato Director: Immigrants Reduce Crime Rates, So You’re Less Likely to Be a Crime Victim [More]
What will happen to that crime rate when the pathway to citizenship Democrats and cheap labor Republicans/Libertarians succeed in changing the electorate to one that supports citizen disarmament?
I wonder if Bier and Cato will take the challenge that so far everyone else has run away from.

Watch–Democrat Tells Angel Families: Sorry for Your Loss, But Americans Are More Violent than Illegal Aliens [More]
Leftist Rep. Steve Cohen channels his inner Cato.
As Gomer would say, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!“

NRA Foundation Changed Bylaws to Cut NRA BOD Out of Governance [More]
I was wondering why the bylaws were so hard to find.
It certainly reduces incentive for any member to donate a dime to Foundation efforts. Especially if its name is forced to change.
Anybody know if the Board is going to establish a replacement fundraising arm securely under its control, or is the aim to wrest control of the Foundation?
Via email:
It never happened, so like a hate hoax, which this actually is, they had to make it up. The reality is:
Change in Concealed Carry Law Did Not Drive Violent Crime in Ohio Cities, Study Shows
It’s actually a riff on a meme they’ve been using for years” You’re a law-abiding gun owners UNTIL YOU’RE NOT!”

Establishment Democrats fend off far-left influencer…Kat Abughazaleh… She lost to Daniel Biss, the mayor of Everston, Ill., and a former state lawmaker. [More]
So, someone who is running on a platform to “Repeal the Second Amendment” is considered an “establishment Democrat” and representative of what Everytown/Moms Demand consider “commonsense gun safety laws?”
There’s no giving an inch to these lying tyrant wannabes. You’d think NRA’s “A+ rated and endorsed” rated John Cornyn would understand that.
[W]ould I word it differently? Would I use a different metaphor? Maybe… [More]
Note he didn’t say he doesn’t believe every word of it?
What do we do with viruses? Pretty much the same thing we do with vermin.
And James has just the plan to make that happen.
Don’t be a useful Fudd idiot like John, conveniently not identified so his creds as a representative Texas gun owner could be checked.
You sure about that? And fraud notwithstanding, that’s a lot of voters perfectly happy to vote communist you’d be flooding into our elections.
Still, opening up what will be a multi-day marathon debate on the bill wasn’t without its hiccups. Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, joined all Senate Democrats to block the legislation. [More]
And following expected “Weasel Whisperer” tradition:
Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., who threatened to do everything he could to block the bill, did not vote.
Thing is, there were “Aye” votes in there by Swampers who know damn well the thing’ll never pass.
The lawsuit challenges Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) regulation, and County Sheriff policy, that requires an applicant for a license to sell firearms in the state agree to warrantless searches by the State Police, or their designee, to ensure compliance with state law. Furthermore, these inspections would allow regulators to seize license holders or employees for up to two hours, compel them to answer any questions posed, provide documentation, and threatens to revoke their state license to sell firearms for refusing to comply with the demands. [More]
Nobody EXPECTS the Spanish Inquisition!
At least not in the land of the Bill of Rights.
In a case that has far-reaching implications, a District Court Judge in Texas held in favor of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners, confirming that all current and future members are covered by the injunction granted in the case which prevents the enforcement of the post office carry ban at most ordinary locations.

I still don’t have my question about the sign answered .
