Notes from the Resistance
NSSF®, the Firearm Industry Trade Association, welcomed the introduction of S. 137, the Firearm Industry Nondiscrimination (FIND) Act, in the U.S. Senate by Sen. Steve Daines (R-Mont.). The bill has 21 original co-sponsors. This vital legislation will end the ability of corporate entities from profiting from taxpayer-funded federal contracts while discriminating against a Constitutionally-protected industry at the same time.

Prognosis 4% chance of being enacted

“The purpose of these weapons, they were designed for military use,” said Helmer. “They are designed to put sustained aimed fire as quickly as possible on an enemy. I don’t believe our neighbors, our kids, are enemies. [More]
Just those of us claiming our birthrights, eh, Dan, and the kids that live in our houses? And on us you’re willing to unleash a standing army equipped with every terrible implement to destroy us or bend us to your will.
And we know you know what real military weaponry is, which means you know you’re lying.
Benedict Arnold was once considered a patriotic military hero, too.

So, using their standard, he drove an assault vehicle…?

President Donald Trump has pardoned, commuted the prison sentences or vowed to dismiss the cases of all of the 1,500-plus people charged with crimes in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot, including people convicted of assaulting police officers…[More]
As Stewart Rhodes recalls, when advocating the same:
Most of the men I met were, as President Trump said, coerced into accepting a guilty plea “bargain” to avoid decades in prison. Others had a Soviet-style show trial in DC, where, of course, they were found “guilty” after being denied the right to even argue self-defense or defense of others (imagine if Daniel Penny had been precluded from making that argument in his trial). They weren’t allowed to show the jury video of police using excessive force just seconds before their own actions. The prosecution cut that out of the video, and the defense couldn’t even discuss it.
In the meantime, their lives have been upended and their livelihoods destroyed, some beyond repair. Many questions will unfold. For now, this is a major victory and a major indicator of hope for this administration.
Let’s hope that extends to 2A, because I was concerned he didn’t mention it once during his speech and it doesn’t appear under “Issues” on his new White House website.

I had to dig around because I couldn’t remember the wording on the original Gunwalker t-shirts. Looks like we need a new one.
“Am I the only person on the planet that didn’t get a pardon from Joe Biden?”
For those who weren’t around back then, this is what he’s referring to.
I could always use another shirt:
Today 4 years of disgraceful national criminal corruption came to an end… But while much of the country moved back towards sanity and common sense, Oregon and the rest of the west coast sank further into the lunacy of failed Marxist policies. [More]

“He ain’t dead; he’s alive,” one of the officers said. Instead of trying to help—or even calling it in—one of them instead said, “Let’s cruise around and come back.” [More]
Well, they did have no duty to protect…

“He has four days on site, puts together his plan, kind of sketches out where he wants everyone. He never set foot on or in that building,” Davis said, noting that the lead sniper blamed this oversight on needing to do “paperwork.” [More]
He probably figured with a sloped roof no one would risk it.

HB 1386 creates an additional 11% excise tax on the sale of all ammunition in the state. Firearms and ammunition are already subject to an 11% federal excise tax through the Pittman-Robertson Act, along with a variety of other state and local taxes and fees. The NRA has current litigation against California’s similar 11% excise tax, and will be present at the hearing to oppose this bill. [More]
So 11% taxes are praiseworthy when they benefit Fudds but bad when they benefit gun-grabbers…?
