Notes from the Resistance
Last night, the House voted on the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, which passed 228-206. [More]
Guess who the lone Republican “Noe” came from.
As long as there’s a Democrat Senate and President, this bill’s going nowhere. Still, it may be useful to clue in voting veterans who aren’t kneejerk Democrats.

After all, the first FOIA request was initially balked at by questioning my qualifications as a journalist, then claiming no records could be found, then saying they withdrew that, and finally declaring they shouldn’t have responded at all because Biden’s privacy interests made the requested documents none of the public’s business. Now they’re saying they can’t answer the second FOIA request because of “ongoing litigation.” [More]

The story’s been out for a day now, so you’d think at least one “real reporter” would have followed up with authorities to get us a name and maybe tell us a bit about her.
Any bets on “Republican” or “NRA member”…?

Consider it a quid pro quo.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Investigators say the “AR-15 style rifle” used during the home invasion was an “Airsoft” rifle, which are considered toys that fire non-lethal projectiles. [More]
Don’t tell us. Tell Kelvin Crenshaw.

The senator’s statements refer to a national referendum held in 2005, during Lula’s first presidential term, in which Brazilian citizens voted overwhelmingly against banning gun and ammunition sales… Reversing Bolsonaro’s flexibilization of firearm access for Brazilian citizens was one of Lula da Silva’s sterner campaign promises.

Now to remind them what they’ve been missing…

New Jersey’s New “John Wick” Carry Permit Training Mandate [More]
How much competency must a citizen demonstrate in order to vote and be protected by any of the other Amendments?
One question I did not see addressed, so perhaps one of you who knows will educate me in “Comments”: If an “Only One” fails the test, how soon (and often) can they retake it, and does the same standard apply to “civilians”?
One more question: Who thinks Newark triggermorons give a damn?
Switzerland is a country that has a high rate of gun ownership but doesn’t have a high level of gun violence. It’s because they actually have a well regulated militia with high levels of mental and legal vetting AND training to own a gun. [More]
And nothing else factors in?
If so, he should have no problem showing commensurate higher rates of “gun violence” among people of Swiss ancestry here.
Except challenge him with facts and he runs away…
And we shouldn’t lose sight they have their own totalitarian wannabes trying to destroy their historic security and sovereignty by mandating global citizen disarmament edicts.

Not among normal people it doesn’t.
They pull the same crap with the “gun violence epidemic,” taking numbers reflecting behaviors of an identifiable aberrant subsection of the population and making it seem like it’s a problem we all share, and in a way it is: Responsible people who don’t engage in high-risk stupid behaviors end up paying for the actions of those who can’t — or won’t — control themselves.
How the new disarmament edicts will play with Brazil’s established “gun culture” will be instructive. Defiant Bolsonaro backers should not be surprised to find themselves smeared as extremists and conflated with criminal insurrectionists by highly-placed government officials and the media, just like here in the U.S. [More]
The parallels between there and here are numerous and disturbing. As are the tactics and goals of totalitarians demanding a monopoly of violence.
With Oregon’s Legislature out of session and the first step in our Federal lawsuit to stop Ballot Measure 114 behind us, things may seem a bit “quiet” on the gun rights front. But like so much in life, things are boiling beneath the surface. [More]
Oregon gun owners need to take this time to understand their situation, recruit support, and get involved.
