Notes from the Resistance
The CDC recommends sexually active gay or bisexual men get tested annually for gonorrhea, and that women younger than 25 or older with new or multiple sex partners also get tested once a year. [More]
So the real way to reduce it, like with abortion, is through self-control, as opposed to self-indulgent and obnoxious in-your-face demands on everybody else…
I wonder if the same principle could be applied to guns…?
With this being SOP for the GOP, it’s no wonder lesser luminaries like Fitzpatrick and Kean feel like they can do anything they want, and “lesser of two evils” gun voters won’t have a choice but to keep rewarding them with power. [More]
If the turncoats will betray gun owners on something as clear-cut as this, what won’t they betray them on?
Are you getting a return on your investment with the NRA? [Watch]
I guess. I became a Life Member back in the 90s and every month they send me their magazine, so I’m sure the initial donation has been paid back. That and I’ve attended several Annual Meetings at no admission cost. But I haven’t sent them a dime in decades now and like many others won’t unless and until heads at the top roll.

It’s about official as it can get. Senate Minority Leader Tim Knopp has made a deal with the Democrats and you are on the chopping block. Personally made firearms will be banned under Knopp’s sell out and while there is some talk of getting something on the record that it will not apply to AR style uppers, we have no reason to think they are actually going to change the language of the bill to clarify that. [More]
Yeah, throw the circling jackals a scrap of flesh. That’ll make ’em go away!
House strikes blow against federal regulations, votes to overturn controversial Supreme Court ruling – The Supreme Court might strike down the precedent itself later this year [More]
That’s what it will take because you know the Senate is never going to stand for this.
Be nice when they do so I can get my damn bump stock back.
GOP Squish Caucus Saves Evil Adam Schiff From Being Censured [More]
They really are doing their damnedest to douse and fire in bellies for ’24. And would it be too much to name them and save the rest of us the time?
Anyway, it’s consistent with what we’ve come to expect.

UPDATE
I gotta say, the Yeas and Nays confuse me, as do some of the names I see. So if they voted “Yea” they were against the resolution?
Is Thomas Massie right? What’s that assessment based on, speech or debate?
There is a nefarious group that calls itself The 65 Project that has as its goal to intimidate lawyers into not representing Trump or anyone associated with him. They have threatened to file bar charges against any such lawyers. [More]
I wonder what they eat for breakfast.

Mayor’s proposed gun control ordinance passes Public Safety and Criminal Justice Committee [More]
They didn’t want him to be the only one getting his name in the paper.
And that’s as far as it will get.

He’s a little light on judging the law.
Me, I’m all for sticking beans up my nose.

The latest examples are pure propaganda from The Hill and The Washington Post on Monday, which led with scaremongering — “bomb threats over Pride items” — while completely burying the lede: The bomb threats against culturally embroiled retail giant Target came from pro-LGBT activists. [More]
That’s why I call them the DSM!

If you want to have a gun, you need to join the militia. [More]
Inigo would like to have a word about “well regulated.”
Marsha hasn’t read Heller, has she?
Or found anything from the Framers to support her ignorance?
Still, we ignore those first 13 words at our peril. Just understand that the “well regulated” part applies to when on duty and your rights go back home with you intact.
Does this mean we get new M16s?

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

The guns will be collected anonymously, unloaded and stored in a locked safe. They will be turned in to Cleveland Police Department’s 4th precinct headquarters every day. [More]
Brandon can accept transfers without background checks? And with “prohibited persons” on staff? Does ATF know about this?
Hey, they don’t have a “No Guns” sticker on the door, do they?
I didn’t imagine there was much demand for Fois Gras and Cuisses de Grenouille among the gang bang set…

Third Circuit, En Banc, Range v. Lombardo: Not All Modern Felons Lose Second Amendment Rights … Several judges dissented. [More]
Which ones?
Who nominated them?
Who voted to confirm them?
I could go find out but it would take time I don’t have right now.
It would be nice if there were a website that provided judicial ratings and a way to hold those who enabled them politically accountable. It would be even more useful if it also politically scaled and rated inferior court judges running in “nonpartisan” elections and showed who backs them so their partisan allegiances could be inferred.
I guess I’m talking something like Ballotpedia on steroids. Too bad the name “Judicial Watch” is taken, although come to think of it, they’d be the perfect ones to take this on.
Armed Florida man confronts squatter who took over house while he was overseas: police [More]
It seems pulling a gun is what it took to get the cops to do something.
Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]
They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.
