Notes from the Resistance
Alito’s right to warn: Court’s knee-jerk habit of slapping Trump will cost it dearly [More]
How? With “uncongenial” judicial appointments?
We’ve already established that tough confirmation questions are off limits. And don’t count the Democrats out for a comeback.
Wake me when there are real costs, and a means to exact them.

GOP Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte is inviting law-abiding gun manufacturers in Colorado to come to his state in a new video ad [Watch]
I guess they had to add that “law-abiding” part.
Will any go?
Will any tell the state they’re cutting them off?

Adamiak is about to start the third year of his 20-year federal prison sentence because the ATF reworked his legal inert RPGs until they were capable of firing a single 7.62x39mm round. [More]
Hey, go with what works, right?
You can learn more about that and how they exploited a malfunction to put another vet away in a recent Firearms News piece.
What did Pam Bondi say?
‘”It is the policy of this Department of Justice to use its full might to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”
A law recently signed by Republican Governor Kay Ivey makes it a felony, punishable by up to 10 years in prison, to possess parts intended to convert pistols into machine guns. [More]
That’s quite the “unwavering support“…
The term “dark woke” refers to an online meme that gained popularity in January amid President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Under the “#darkwoke” tag, left-leaning X users share jokes and memes delighting in or wishing for the suffering of Trump supporters. [More]
See, this is you.
And this is them.
Just the people I want to let disarm me.
A man from Bethlehem said he was caught in a tough situation that involved self defense and breaking the law…he fired a few warning shots before the bear finally took off into the woods. He said it wasn’t until the next day that he realized that he had unintentionally shot the bear. [More]
I’d feel better about this if he’d just admitted that yeah, he shot the damn bear. What the hell else was he supposed to do?
New England serial killer fears heighten after eighth idyllic town rocked by gruesome discovery [More]
The only people the laws stopped were the “law-abiding,” that is, the ones being slaughtered. [More]
They haven’t learned a thing since Mumbai. Then again, noting all the “commonsense gun safety laws” here, what have “we” learned?
Mass. man indicted on explosives charges, allegedly had plutonium and other hazardous substances in his home [More]
And he’s a “prohibted person”…?
You know what I always say about people who can’t be trusted with plutonium…

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.

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.”

Top Trump officials file charges against illegal immigrant after Fox News exposes early release plans [More]
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.
