Notes from the Resistance
KC homeowner shoots male suspected of breaking into 30 cars Wednesday…The shooter was released after questioning. It’s unclear at this point if he could face any charges. [More]
I’d say if they call him back in it ought to be for a public ceremony where they give him a medal, but the cynic in me wonders if — based on who was shot — all defenders and reactions of neighbors would be treated the same.

Civilians with permits stopped the attacks more frequently and faced a lower risk of being killed or injured than police. [More]
My guess would be the relevance of mentioning permits is that statistically, there may be more armed citizens with them in the types of areas where “active shootings” are more prevalent, especially since almost half the states don’t “allow” permitless carry. True, there’s no doubt an effect from the extra required training steps an average permit holder undergoes over permitless carriers, but I don’t think the data exists to quantify a difference. Many hardcore 2A activists who are practiced simply don’t believe in permits.

“I told him he could take my gun and let me secure my dog,” said Phillips. “He didn’t listen. I had my hands up. I called them for help, and they came in hot, like I was the threat.” [More]
When you realize that when police show up they consider themselves the “Only Ones,” she was. So, of course he was cleared, bullet wond in her leg notwithstanding.
Officer safety, you see.
Trump is Even Touching Hollywood [More]
Why is it the only question I can think to ask is “spits or swallows”?
When Mel Gibson was asked about 2A, he hemmed and hawed and called it “prickly.” Stallone at least took an unequivocal stance, declaring ““Until America, door to door, takes every handgun, this is what you’re gonna have.”
TIS is possibly even more destructive than TDS because it rationalizes, gives a pass on betrayals, divides, and impedes. It’s our duty to call out, condemn and defy opportunistic political duplicity. Otherwise, we get more.
Admiring the emperor’s new clothes when they’re nonexistent is delusional. The only way we win is with the truth, and if that means letting Professor Harold Hill know we’re on to him and he’d better deliver on the instruments and band uniforms he sold us on, so be it.
By all means, praise and defend him when he does right. Just don’t be afraid to point out when he does wrong, especially because see-no-evil gun owners might get mad at you.
A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from revoking the legal status and work permits of the more than 530,000 migrants … In her order, Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, wrote that each migrant needs to have an individualized, case-by-case review. [More]
She knows there aren’t the resources to do that. Then would come the appeals. There aren’t enough courtrooms. The system would be… uh… swamped.
That’s the plan, and this treasonous communist Democrat b!+c# knows it.
As the late L. Neil Smith observed, every one of these people would rather see a woman “found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose” than armed.

[T]he proximate-cause issue, in limbo will result in continuing legal uncertainty and ongoing attacks on the industry facilitated by courts that are allowing the most extreme theories of proximate cause in which remoteness is disregarded. [More]
The antis and their robed agents on the bench are counting on it.
Me, I’m still wondering which “State or Federal statute applicable to the sale or marketing of the product” is legitimately Constitutional.

As always, be aware that this is a thing. You never know when you might need an “I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.

With 24 Republicans in the Senate and 10 Democrats, and a governor endorsed by Donald Trump, the only way this won’t become law is if there are betrayals…

You know, the one who’d just posted a “Don’t Drink and Drive” video before his actions burned these people to death…
And you tell me how, initially, the official story was that there were “insufficient grounds to file charges.”
2017 to now… Draw your own conclusion.

The Morgan case is a case where a federal judge in Kansas found that machine gun possession charges are unconstitutional in violation of the Second Amendment as it applied to this individual Mr Morgan. This Kansas Morgan decision is now being contested by the Trump administration in the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. In fact, the Trump DOJ just argued to the 10th Circuit that the decision down below should be reversed. They argue that machine guns are not in common use for lawful purposes in today’s society and that they are dangerous and unusual items and as dangerous and unusual items they can be restricted by the federal government essentially however they want.

I hate to say I told you so.
And “pro-gun” lawyers — the ones coming up with all kinds of apologetic rationales for administration betrayals, helped set it.
