Notes from the Resistance
This pretty much defined the day. Those expecting a Second Amendment defense decrying Chevron deference overreach instead heard the justices trying to grasp competing definitions of “function of a trigger” along with scenarios unlikely to persuade judges who equate “common use” with widespread commercial popularity.

You were expecting a slam dunk…?
This is what the Giffords, and Bradys, and Demanding Moms of the world would have us all reduced to, by force of “law.” [More]
Dead men tell no tales.
There’s a lot of rhetoric but not much in the way of specifics.
I’d feel better if the first words out of her mouth had not been “I’ve always supported the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms.”

When I was a kid, if I came home with a 66, I had some ‘splainin’ to do. Is this representative of the transcripts he’d accept to hire someone? If so, no wonder he’s so good at firing them.
And 72 ain’t no great shakes, either.
Republicans grades as a whole pretty much explain the strength of the Vichycon movement.
Rand Paul does well.
Today, President Biden will issue an Executive Order to protect Americans’ sensitive personal data from exploitation by countries of concern. [More]

The important thing is, this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

A new complaint accuses Alade McKen, Columbia University Medical School’s Diversity, Equity, Inclusion (DEI) chief, of plagiarizing his dissertation, including material from Wikipedia. [More]
That’s because, according to a survey of race-hustling bellyachers with an axe to grind, he had to cheat twice as hard.
I guess that diminishes what my wife and I had to go through with all those minimum wage service and labor jobs in high school and college.

The protests are now havens for foreign students, especially those from Arab and Muslim countries, with their own set of nationalist and tribal grievances against Israel and the United States. In some cases, such foreign students appear to lead the protests in their pro-terrorism chants—some of which are in Arabic, or translations of Arabic slogans. [More]
What do you want to bet after a terrorist massacre, government traitors counting on this come down with more “Patriot Act”-restrictions on us, “the greatest threat”? Especially if “assault weapons” are used!

Earlier this week, the firearms community was rocked by news of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) eForms system shutdown, raising alarms among gun shops and National Firearms Act (NFA) applicants alike. The system, crucial for processing applications for silencers, short-barrel rifles, and other NFA items, reportedly closed due to Congressional budgeting concerns, leaving many to question the timing and reasoning behind the decision. [More]
So, it was a revenge move…?
I have an immediate, cost-free solution, but the government won’t allow it.

Each of the plaintiffs had their conviction vacated, set aside, or dismissed, and their right to possess firearms restored, by the jurisdiction in which they were convicted … Even so, California has acted to permanently deny Linton, Stewart, and Jones the right to possess or own firearms, solely on the basis of their original convictions… Summary judgment is granted in favor of plaintiffs on the Second Amendment claim. [More]
They meet all MY criteria.
What a d!ck Rob Bonta is.

Which would not only make the J6 “insurrectionists” right, but would also make resitance to tyrants obedience to God.
So… we’ve had our share of Krakens. When will we have guilt proven in a court of law– since we’re talking major crime here– beyond a reasonable doubt?
And if we won’t, why not?
And what’s to stop it from happening again?

Doesn’t “gun sense candidate” Katie Porter have some potato violence to commit or something?
On the flip side, I don’t watch this Fox News program so don’t know the name of the “conservative” black woman, but when she asserts and asks “THEY DON’T ENJOY OUR RIGHTS, THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS. DO WE SAY THEY ARE INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY?” the first thought that comes to mind is Sir Thomas More’s “devil himself” rejoinder from A Man for All Seasons.
I saw some of that “law and order über alles” enthusiasm displayed at the NRA Trump speech, and my first thought there was from “For Whom the Bell Tolls.”

While accusing @CIS_org of “double-counting” illegal alien convictions, @AlexNowrasteh never asked @TxDPS directly if the data represented a double-count – he just thinks it did, except DPS say it does NOT. But that fact would undermine Alex’s claims. Your move @CatoInstitute [More]
Don’t feel bad, fellas.
