Notes from the Resistance
Rage and despair after brazen attack kills 26 in Kashmir [More]
And naturally, the “law-abiding” victims were disarmed and their attackers were not.
I just spent the last hour writing an article for AmmoLand on this and will share the link when it’s up.
What are your thoughts on this link found on a site I frequent with significantly more credibilty (at least in my mind) than anything the NRA posts… [More]
Let’s hope it fares better than it did here.
CCRKBA ONLINE PETITION TO BONDI CALLS FOR 2A TASK FORCE ACTION [More]
I wish it would have said something about including gun owner advisors to help prevent more stupid disconnects, but I signed it.
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discusses a very innovative argument in the matter of Williams v. United States, yet another challenge to 18 USC Sec. 922(g)(1) the ban on felons possessing firearms. Today, we take a look at a crafty argument based upon the Commerce Clause and how, if accepted, could undo dozens of Federal gun laws. [Watch]
Good. That said, a review of text, history, and tradition of the Commerce Clause at the time of ratification would not have supported the expansion and usurpation of unintended powers to allow the feds to get their hooks into citizen disaramament, treasonous subsequent stare decisis saying they could notwithstanding.
And raising Tenth Amendment arguments isn’t exactly “new”:
Also, it’s helpful to keep in mind that the MFFA and its clones are really a states’ rights exercise, a challenge to federal commerce clause power on Tenth Amendment and other grounds. It is more about federal power than firearms.

The Power to Tax, The Second Amendment, and the Search for Which “‘Gangster’ Weapons” to Tax Which “‘Gangster’ Weapons” to Tax [More]
Stephen P. Halbrook has a new scholarly offering in the Wyoming Law Review.
Based on the man’s past contributions, I recommend you find the time to throughly read it. I know I will.

Illegal Alien Who Killed Two Teens Receives Early Release in California [More]
Those weren’t the only lives that grinning bastard destroyed.
Now watch the Democrats who created the “sanctuary” attractions fight like hell to keep him here and scream about “due process.”

Part of me says “Good.” Another part notes he didn’t commit treason, counterfeiting, or piracy.
SCOTUS ruling against Yost clears path for effort to abolish qualified immunity for police to advance [More]
“Law and order” Republicans need to figure out who we need that law and order for, and why.
Just goes to show: I’ve liked Yost, and Thomas and Alito, but we’ll never agree with everyone on everything.

Dem Says American Murdered by Illegal Alien is a ‘Distraction’ from Party’s Deportation Due Process Focus [More]
She’s all for “due process” unless it means guns will be taken away without a trial and conviction. (And what’s with politicians passing laws that affect us all pre-censoring comments that might oppose them?)
Funny, how she’s bent on imposing the same monopoly of violence tyranny her parents fled Iran over on the country that gave them refuge.

Remember the “Red Wave” that never happened?
What if it’s intentional?
Never forget Bill Clinton mentor Carroll Quigley:
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy” (Georgetown University Professor Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope, 1966.)
The Swamp won’t drain easily.

But don’t worry. There’ll be plenty of exceptions.
So, don’t expect Glock to pull a Barrett.

Armed self-defense is “moronic.” Voting against it is “common sense.” [More]
With “Republicans” like this, who needs Democrats?
Grad student shot at FSU recounts harrowing moment gunman reloaded as she played dead [More]
And nobody “intervened“…?
In fairness, they then qualify that by adding “law enforcement,” as if they’re really the first responders.
David Hogg Has Humiliating Meltdown on ABC News [More]
But a critical mass of useful idiot Democrats (but I repeat myself) love the guy, perhaps enough to implode the party’s chances by repelling normal people who roll their eyes at his insane priorities. I’m starting to think he’s a genius troll, secretly our man in the DNC…

Summarized, “universal” background checks only apply to a fraction of a fraction of all gun acquisitions. As such, you cannot expect them to do much. But we didn’t expect to see gun homicides go up. [More]
But they work great for identifying some “gun criminals.”
A reader received this notice from a message board admin when he tried to post a discussion on this:
“Your thread What is the NRA? was deleted. Reason: There are some assertions in the cited post which are actionable libel.”
Really? Bring it.
A disturbing preponderance of bloviating ignoraNuses like that are the reason I have nothing to do with such sites. You wanna see libel, look at the way anonymous keyboard commandos insult each other when they know there are no personal repercussions.
When asked to explain what happened, the officer said, “I mistakenly thought the trigger was a release for the revolver’s cylinder. Thankfully no one was injured.” [More]
From Colorado, of course. Now deflect by talking ab0ut a stellar career and awards to keep from giving us this absolute moron’s name…

Bans Civilian Armories: They’ll define “armories” and slap a hard limit on how many firearms you can own, potentially forcing you to SURRENDER any guns over their arbitrary cap! Mandatory Gun Registration: Every single firearm you own will need to be registered with the state – a tyrant’s dream to track and control you! Purchase Limits: Caps how many guns you can buy per month, restricting your Constitutional right to arm yourself as you see fit! [More]
Just like the Founders intended!
And, of course, once they pass those they’ll be on to something else, because it will never be enough.

A progressive district attorney has declined to charge the state employee in Tim Walz-led Minnesota who was allegedly caught causing $20,000 damage by vandalizing half a dozen Teslas — a decision the local police chief ripped as the latest betrayal of victims. [More]
Would she prefer citizens discourage such attacks by seeking extrajudicial justice if the government is deliberately indifferent to its duty?
She’s no doubt trying to provoke low-hanging fruit into doing just that.
