Notes from the Resistance
DDS sends “I tried 3D printing a gun: It’s not as easy as you think,” from 2023 (and FWIW written by someone who begins with a lament about “gun violence”), and Wikipedia entries for the Urutau 3D-printable semi-automatic bullpup pistol-caliber carbine, and my favorite just for its name, the FGC-9.
I don’t normally do hardware posts but this is, at its core, about freedom.
Harrison Ford says he doesn’t ‘know of a greater criminal in history’ than Trump [More]
In all of history, eh? So that must mean tyrants and war criminals. Someone that evil and genocidal certainly needs to be stopped by any desperate means necessary!
That oughtta inspire some low-hanging fruit fans!
I trust no one here is surprised by any of this.
9 people shot at Airbnb party in Bath Township… Several juveniles were shot at a Bath Township Airbnb party early Sunday. Police say it was a party promoted on social media. [More]
I guess the rules about guns at Airbnbs weren’t even a factor in anyone’s choices. And I don’t suppose it’s in the interests of the “real reporters” to show us the promotion piece that attracted such guests…
Ah, here we go!
So naturally, this moron is blaming guns and this moron is blaming Republicans.
Obama Calls Mamdani to Praise His Campaign and Offers to Be Sounding Board [More]
After all, he had his mentors.
And who thinks Ken Martin dares say anything different?
“Party’s ‘big tent’ approach,” indeed.
Several members of the media were on the call. It was to talk to the media. [More]
President Donald Trump is making a final multimillion-dollar investment in Tuesday’s statewide elections in New Jersey and Virginia, in an effort to turn out MAGA voters who tend to sit out off-year elections when Trump isn’t on the ballot… Republican operatives are tracking down low-propensity GOP voters, and then reaching out to those voters through phone-banking efforts, or through digital and social media targeting ads. [More]
They’re finally getting around to this exact plan? Isn’t asteroid deflection more effective when its farther away?
Especially when it’s a yuge asteroid…?
Let’s hope it’s not too little too late. I guess we’ll know soon enough.
Is There a Hidden Meaning in DOJ’s Position on Mag Bans? [Watch]
Let me get this straight: The “pro-gun” DOJ will defend magazines (because they believe bans are unconstitutional or because they think SCOTUS will rule against them?) but still demands license/registration requirements to carry and possess firearms and ammunition…?
If there’s a hidden meaning, they’re not hiding it very well. That seems kind of in-your-face…
And yeah, I’m vulnerable to being sucked in just like most gun owners.
“Full might” my… eye.
Trump stumps for entire Virginia GOP ticket, while yet to formally endorse Earle-Sears [More]
So, if she loses are we not supposed to remind people of half-@$$ed efforts when a full system burn was needed?
Two judges rule Trump admin must keep SNAP benefits in place as shutdown drags on [More]
Translation: Apparatchiks just bought Schumer time to continue the shutdown.
FBI stops ‘potential terrorist attack,’ raids homes in Dearborn, facility in Inkster [More]
Turning Dearborn into a center for Islamists has been the result of deliberate and calculated decisions by Democrats. I remember going on a field trip in 8th grade to see the Henry Ford Museum and Edison’s lab, back when American exceptionalism was still taught in public schools.

Venezuelan Narco Regime Provided Over $20 Million to Fund Black Lives Matter [More]
Can we tack this on to the Antifa plan?

“The State bears the burden of proving that its immoral scheme to criminalize rights is consistent with the Nation’s historical tradition, and they will fail.” [More]
Actually, unless and until the Supreme Court rules in favor of the uninfringed right of the people to keep and bear arms, the burden will continue to be entirely borne by the state’s victims.
The false and unvetted allegations were all police needed to conduct a surprise high-risk traffic stop, hold Massucci at gunpoint, and charge him with multiple felonies, according to his defense attorneys and records and surveillance video obtained by ABC15. [More]
Let the criminal investigations and civil lawsuits begin.

I wonder if the new owners ever fixed the dioxin problem…
A former South Carolina sheriff pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges that he helped steal about $80,000 from his force’s benevolence fund and took pain medication that was supposed to be destroyed as part of a pill take-back program. [More]
So, like with gun “buybacks,” the pills were the sheriff’s department in the first place?
Interesting character, Sheriff Wright:
Sheriff Missing Amid Federal Probe, Armed With Fully Automatic Weapons And SWAT Gear
The benefits of being an “Only One”…
Except he’s not any more.
And so much for “a few bad apples”:
Wright is at least the 12th sheriff in South Carolina to be convicted or to plead guilty to on-duty crimes in the past 15 years, for misconduct including extorting drug dealers, having inmates work at their homes, and hiring a woman and pressuring her to have sex.
Those are the ones who have been caught…

Kristin Hartman, 54, is facing charges of disorderly conduct, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shod foot), vandalism, assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon (shopping cart), driving under the influence of liquor, resisting arrest, and two counts of assault and battery on a police officer. [More]
Some people just can’t be trusted with anything.

Viramontes’s criticism of Bevis on this point carries little weight, given Heller’s holding that “the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes[.]” Id. at 625. Heller did not hold, as Viramontes seems to imply, that military-style weapons are protected “arms” because military action by civilians is lawful. Instead, Heller characterized self-defense as the “core lawful purpose” of firearm use. 554 U.S. at 630. [More]
I beg to differ. And have warned that ignoring the militia aspect would be used against us.
Funny, how a common prohibitionist argument is that 2A advocates ignore the first 13 words, and here it is they’re doing just that in their legal argument.
In any case, the amendment says “arms.” And as for the contention that its ban “finds support in this nation’s history and tradition,” tell that to Tench Coxe.
F-n’ lying Illinois Democrats…
