Notes from the Resistance
Ordinary Ohio citizen calls out illegal Cincinnati festival gun ban — and wins! [More]
This is advocacy activism at its finest.
Having seen the alternative, stories like this restore my faith and inspire me.
We all see ways every day where we can make a difference. Anyone who can’t think of any isn’t trying and anyone who doesn’t try isn’t helping.

Twenty-one-year-old Dalton Lee Janiczek, who has been described as the entitled son of a prominent Pennsylvania lawyer, is sitting in jail and facing a litany of serious criminal charges, including the attempted murder of a law enforcement officer. He is potentially facing years in prison for an incident that started with a simple traffic stop and ended with Janiczek allegedly running over a Plymouth, P.A., police officer multiple times, and ramming another police vehicle before being arrested. [More]
Welcome to reality, Dalton!
May it be as rewarding to you as you have earned.

Don’t ignore horrifying attacks on African Christians… Today’s Nigeria does not look like that of my youth. Climate change, capitalism, debt, corruption, the COVID-19 crisis and shifting donor trends have all caused more poverty, less hope and more conflict. [More]
He did it! He missed the barn!
This is “conservative Fox News“?
Figures he’d miss the elephant in the room enabling the genocide.
Go figure. All that death and no white supremacists…
Report exposes culture of hazing and humiliation at Cape Cod police academy [More]
There’s truth to the observation that most bullies were bullied. So guess who they’re prepping these attack dogs for.
There’s also truth to another observation: No job is worth your dignity, and anyone who tolerates and submits to abuse will only ensure more of it.

Major digital currency’s terms of use: No firearm, ammunition purchases [More]
I thought crypto was meant to facilitate freedom, not become a controlling trap.
No way to ensure it’s “legal tender for all debts public and private”…?
And in a tangentially-related development, I’m trying to determine the truth and the timing of this:

I had the following email exchange over the weekend where I presumed to give some advice:
My wife has invited a high school friend to spend a few days beginning tomorrow, her husband too. Wife informs me she is against guns so I see a gentle challenge approaching. They are Christians but I don’t know if it’s a rebellious church or a Bible believing one yet. They’re in SAT the past couple days for a missions trip seminar.
I’ve made a few talking points in my notes but remembered you have some links to violence stats and how inner city bad boys skew the numbers and if those of color are removed, America looks more like other countries. If you are without a lot of trouble or time to provide a couple links to help me in this glorious fight, I’d be most grateful.
My response:
Honestly, were it me I would politely avoid such talk– you’re not going to convert them, and arguments will create discord and hard feelings. Including, potentially, with the wife.
Actually, were it me, this situation would never arise but done is done.
Not bringing it up and saying, “Why don’t we just enjoy each other’s company for what we have in common?” — and being a gracious host like this if it does — is one way to redirect, and there’s no better way to show you’re a rational, reasonable and worthy human being with thoughts worth respecting instead of just an ideologue. Plenty of other things to talk about. And it will all be over soon, whereas, unlike house guests who leave, hurt feelings will remain.
Since you asked…

I can hear the objections now. Feel free to comment as guests in my home.
Trump administration altering program that was a lifeline for pioneering non-profits helping reduce gun violence [More]
They say that like it’s true and like this is news as opposed to propaganda. A look at the “reporter’s” beat and agenda tells us all we need to know.
But look at this: Asking for reader support from “progressives” apparently works.
Can the same be said about gun owners?

The Swedish judge who ruled that the Eritrean migrant who raped 16-y-old Meya Åberg won’t be deported after serving a 3-year sentence because ”the rape didn’t last long enough” has spoken out about the criticism & say judges can’t take into consideration people’s anger. [More]
I feel the same outrage I would had this happened in the UK.

Danish Commercial Warns White Citizens About Breeding With Other Whites [More]
I’m all for individuals making choices as individuals. But when it’s collectivized like this, it means there’s an agenda, and it’s not a new one.
I remember as a child reading a hopeful speculative piece on the future of humanity being a racial amalgamation as a necessary step to world peace. They’ve been engineering toward this for a long time, and the “migration waves” followed with publicity campaigns like this are the necessary steps in a long term plan.
Of course, if you point any of this out, you’re the one the totalitarian-minded collectivists who demand to rule you smear as a racist. And if you speculate that Satan is trying to remake man in his image, why, then you’re just a religious kook to be ridiculed — or eliminated if perceived as any kind of threat.

Tangentially-Related UPDATE
This may not always result in the peaceful coexistence we’ve been led to believe.
That means the City’s “No Firearms” signs, as currently written, overstep the law. They mislead the public into believing that lawful transport — which is clearly protected by state law — is forbidden. [More]
The cynic in me says that’s deliberate.
The realist in me says they are that incompetent.
“I guess just the way you guys were eating chips… It picked it up as a gun,” a police officer told the students in the video. “AI’s not the best.” [More]
Hey, it wasn’t the AI that attacked the kid. Are you guys sure you know how to use it?
Still, the rope-selling capitalists don’t have qualified immunity. And it looks like people are starting to recognize that.

Then your stupid bigotry is enabling a gun-grabbing Mambo from New Jersey. That makes you the enemy.
At last weekend’s “No Kings” protest in Washington, D.C., inflatable chickens bobbed above a crowd that, according to demographic research, was made up mostly of educated White women in their 40s. [More]
Think of these indignant, frustrated, and privileged fools as DEI citizens.
Their ignorant and insane demand to disarm men has predictable, historical results.
Enjoy The View while you still can, “ladies.”
Life imitates art. In a weird way, with you as selfish, idiot mothers, you probably did those all those pre-born children you aborted a sick favor.

Some “greatest threat” MAGA fanatic…?
And remember, reading is fundamental:
I suppose we could sign their petition to Congress.
But why, when the President and Pam Bondi could investigate, and if confirmed, put an immediate end to it, demand all the memoranda, correspondence, and work papers plotting a calculated violation of the law, and fire and prosecute everyone responsible, including those no longer employed?
Be funny if Dettelbach and Chipman got caught in that net, especially if they tried to save thief own skins by making Marvin the patsy…

ICE, CBP seize 400 firearms hidden in fake trailer walls at southern border crossing… HSI officials said the guns were headed into Mexico, where cartels fuel ongoing violence. [More]
That’s what happens when you’re not sanctioned. Funny, how a little bit of border security works, almost like the lack of it was deliberate.
But as we all know, this isn’t how the cartels gets their “good” stuff.
Shoot, I could’a told ’em that 16 years ago.
Related UPDATE
Note that last link was from April 2009, nine months before Mike Vanderboegh and I started our Fast and Furious reporting, but worth mentioning because it helps show how we were positioned to use the information we uncovered subsequent to the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry that kicked the whole thing off.
I mention that because of this:
I appreciate the recognition. Most were never told and will never know.
You’ll not find our names here (I’ve been told by those who tried that attempts to add them have been edited out) or in an incentivized media narrative.
In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses the implications of Glock’s recent business decisions and their impact on the firearms industry.

Yesterday’s show…
I worked for several law enforcement and corrections agencies during and post military and as firearms instructor I know exactly how bad many are. I’ve RSOd many matches as well and ran military ranges so the everyone’s a rifleman doesn’t hold water. Is she a shooter? Is that her rifle? I’m looking for real answers [More]
Screenshot from her Facebook photos:
Yes, she’s a shooter. She’s does it in front of other gun owners.
Whether its her rifle and how good she is, I can’t answer. But it’s the wrong concern.
The right question is “Does she support the Second Amendment,” and her record is clear.
If owning guns and being good with them were all it took, we’d have no better pals than Lon Horiuchi and David Chipman.
And for the record, I’ve never shot a match nor even gone hunting in my life. If that’s disqualifies me in anyone’s mind, they don’t belong here anyway.
