Notes from the Resistance
The Ranks of Gun Owners Grow, and So Does Their Resistance to Scrutiny – Researchers report that many gun owners, especially newer ones, falsely deny owning guns. [More]
Good for them.
But that alone doesn’t mean it’s good for “us.”

‘I’m terrified’: Woman said black bears keep coming to her home [More]
She’s 75 and unlikely to develop the skills to take them out.
That said, is it unreasonable to expect the Department of Natural Resources to do more than say “Don’t feed them” and maybe set up traps to relocate them? Because if government doesn’t make its priority protecting life, rights, and property, what good is it?

Like I said, I’ve still got family in town and they come first. I’m gonna go do five miles through the Cuyahoga Valley with my sister before the rain comes in.
Oh, and when I said I’d be back full-bore on Monday…? Not quite. The wife just reminded me we leave on Tuesday for six days, so the priorities will be on articles instead of blog posts.
I’ll do what I can when I can. But I need this.

Ironically, the main impediment to any of this happening is what the Founders knew to be “necessary to the security of a free State,” an armed citizenry capable of organizing and repelling “enemies foreign and domestic,” the very people these myopic billionaires in their arrogance and hubris are helping to finance AstroTurf citizen disarmament edicts against.

Cake isn’t what the collectivist mob intends to eat.
In its final report released last week, the group claimed “discriminatory” laws “have torn African American families apart,” and that one effect of that is the “harms” caused by “the disproportionate amount of African Americans who are burdened with child support debt.” [More]
Do these people hire, like, comedy writers or something?
A deputy with the Placer County Sheriff’s department was arrested Friday on suspicion of forcible rape and sodomy of an intoxicated person. It was the second arrest of a Placer County Sheriff’s Department officer on suspicion of a sex crime in less than three days. [More]
Why is it the claim “These are two different incidents that are completely unrelated,” doesn’t exculpate a department where that culture demonstrably exists all that much?

In exchange for the campaign donations, the feds allege Jenkins appointed the men auxiliary deputies, which allowed them to carry concealed firearms in all 50 states without obtaining a permit. [More]
And guess who promotes nationwide LE-only concealed carry…

Clueless Cops Create A “High Risk” Environment [Watch]
It’s several months old but I don’t recall seeing it before.

Everyone Is Making the Very Same Hunter Biden Joke Following White House Cocaine Discovery [More]
And why wouldn’t they? Especially now that he’s a regular.
Who else would automatically assume that he could get away with it?

“We should be serving people. Is 60% serving the people?” said Akron Mayor Daniel Horrigan… going from majority rule to 60% rule that’s pretty significant of a change,” said Horrigan. [More]
So I guess he really hates the federal requirements and considers his judgment superior to the Framers’. Nothing like changing the Constitution by ginned-up mob rule to guarantee somebody will be served.
Daniel’s the same Democrat liar (but I repeat myself) who wants us to believe infringements against you and me are what would have saved Na’kia, Mar’Viyah, and MiKayla.
Ohio gun owners: What are you doing to make Issue 1 truth a priority?
Biden loses ‘ghost gun’ case, ATF ban ‘unlawful’ [More]
This is by no means a done deal, but it does raise hopes for bump stocks and stabilizing braces, and for checks and balances.

Phoenix City Council approves plan to send hundreds of unclaimed guns to Ukrainian police force – No city or taxpayer funds will be used to transport the weapons, the council agenda item said. [More]
No, but funds will be used to process this, and more will be forfeited by “giving away” what could be sold. If they’re so flush they can afford that, I guess they won’t really be needing any tax increases. Right?
Ain’t it just like Democrats — giving away what’s not theirs and then taking credit for being generous? Exactly the opposite of the way true generosity is supposed to be.
I wonder if this was Yassamin’s big idea…?

It would be hard to convince me that this is a normal routine inspection and not an effort at retribution by the Justice Department and their henchmen at BATFE. [More]
Biden’s DOJ puts the squeeze on an FFL who’s suing over bump stocks. The tyrannical pettiness reminds me of Red’s Trading Post.
So if it’s not happenstance and it’s not a coincidence, what does that leave us?
I became aware of this soon after I announced my slowdown. I was thinking of maybe doing an article, but I couldn’t do a better job than John Richardson has done, so why not just go read what he has to say?

It’s available. The narrative shapers just don’t want you to see it:
The New York Post pointed to two photos posted by Carriker on his Facebook page March 27, 2022, where he’s visibly wearing a bra and women’s top with earrings and has braided hair associated with women.

Funny, how the DSM doesn’t want this information to be made “available,” either. Best just to stick to blaming guns, white supremacists, and hateful traditional values Americans don’t you think?
Anti-police fury spiralled further as a leaked police intelligence report today said: “We are at war with savage hordes of vermin.” [More]
Because that’s much more offensive than ingrates going to war against those who took them in and trying to burn down a civilization “refugees” fled toward rather than away from.
What better time for ordinary citizens to thank the government responsible for all those “commonsense gun safety laws“…?
The first wave of out-of-state relatives left today. My sister will still be here through the weekend so visiting and doing things with her will still occupy me during times I’d normally be working.
That being the case, blog postings will be limited– I’ll do some as time permits.
Please understand if I don’t get to all news tips. I plan to be back full bore next Monday.

I have visiting out-of-state relatives– my blog efforts will be confined to announcing newly-published articles until later in the week.
I’ll check in from time to time on moderating comments. Please save yourself the work and hold off on news tips.
