Notes from the Resistance
‘Anti-racist’ professor calls Herschel Walker ‘subliterate,’ uses racial slur [More]
And if you didn’t vote for Joe Biden, you ain’t black!
I don’t suppose it occurs to “Professor” Sundiata Cha-Jua that he is essentially fulfilling the same role as “the man in the middle“…?

The Shoddy Conclusions of the Man Shaping the Gun-Rights Debate – John Lott is the most influential pro-gun researcher in the country. But his methods and findings have been repeatedly debunked. [More]
I see a lot of smears, a lot of ad hominem, and a lot of denials by those with vested monetary grant interests, but what I’m not seeing is actual data to refute him. Forgive me if I suspect a partnership with the Bloomberg-“seeded” The Trace might play a factor in this obvious hit piece.
Incidentally, I had to open this in an “incognito” window because I’ve used up my “free” reads. Forgive me again if I don’t see anything offered by these smug effete elites worth paying for.
Plenty of truth to this cover, wouldn’t you say?

Missouri House Minority Leader Crystal Quade (D – District 132) and several others signed a letter sent to Gov. Mike Parson’s office on Thursday. The group suggests three specific courses of action in the letter to prevent tragedies like last week in Missouri: Universal background checks, strengthened extreme-risk protection orders and repealing the Second Amendment Preservation Act. [More]
Yeah, go after “the law-abiding!”
That’ll fix exactly nothing.
Which is kind of the point.

As a result of the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of 2022, signed into law on June 25, 2022, the NICS Section has been working towards the implementation of an enhanced background check process for persons between the ages of 18-20. The enhancement provides the opportunity for additional outreach and research to be conducted regarding the existence of any juvenile adjudication information and/or mental health prohibition. As a result, transactions on persons between the ages of 18-20 will initially be delayed and the address of the individual will be collected so that the appropriate local and state entities may be contacted. The enhanced process will begin on November 14, 2022, for all transactions on persons under the age of 21 as previously described. Checks on persons under the age of 21 could be extended for a period up to ten business days. Therefore, it is possible for an FFL to be contacted with an updated Brady Transfer Date. As a temporary measure and until the NICS can be updated to provide this information electronically, NICS staff will be calling FFLs to advise of any change in the transfer date. In preparation for calls from NICS, you will be asked to verify your license number and code word. You may wish to have this information readily available for you and your staff. [More]
Meanwhile, don’t forget to register with Selective Service! And Nancy’s working on that voter roadblock…

Fetterman said in a statement that he is grateful for her support: “She is a leader on so many issues — fighting for our democracy, passing common-sense gun reform, and ensuring racial justice.” [More]

This demented policy could pass or fail on fewer votes than virtually any other in memory. [More]

In honor of Henry Repeating Arms’ silver anniversary celebration, the Wisconsin-based company is donating $50,000 to DAV (Disabled American Veterans), an organization dedicated to empowering veterans to lead high-quality lives with respect and dignity. [More]
This came in via email and I thought it merited sharing.
Efforts to track foreign mis- and disinformation under former President Donald Trump have since been “perverted” under President Joe Biden to increasingly monitor what Americans say on social media, former Trump administration officials told the Daily Caller. [More]
Using “perverted” and “Biden” in the same sentence seems … unsurprising…

Yo, Carlton! Is this the guy you had in mind?

Cyclists say expanding Pinellas Trail connectivity will boost safety [More]
Yeah, think how much faster they’ll be able to investigate your murder by some violent animal with a tire iron that “authorities” released on probation…

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith.

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”
In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

“It’s not 1994 anymore,” said Peter Ambler, executive director of the gun safety organization Giffords, founded by former Ariz. Rep. Gabby Giffords, who was shot in 2011. “It’s safe to say that, at this point, we have obliterated the idea that guns is risky political territory for Democrats. Quite the contrary.” [More]
At least they’ve convinced some “moderate Republicans”…
A word about the flip side of TINVOWOOT: They can’t vote in our disarmament, either. Not as long as, say, three percent of us say “No.”

A federal judge for the second time in two weeks has blocked a state ban against concealed weapons in places of worship from taking effect in Erie and Niagara counties. [More]

And on top of that, he’s got an insufferable “Only Ones” mentality.
With the latest DeSantis disconnect it seems like Florida Republicans are going out of their way to alienate gun owners.
And not just Florida Republicans…

UPDATE
Firearms News has the whole story direct from GOA.
“The victim can be seen on police body-worn cameras telling the police that Mr. Muldrow probably saved his life,” the informational alert concluded. “Many other witnesses on the scene spoke up for Mr. Muldrow’s heroic actions. None of that mattered.” [More]
I interviewed Muldrow for Firearms News to get what happened straight from him.

We all make mistakes, sometimes big ones. I always thought you could tell a lot about character by what we do after– admit them, apologize and join in finding and spreading the truth— or try to hide it and hope nobody notices.
Then again I’m presuming this was a mistake and not some professional liar trying to slip a fast one by for political gain.
It doesn’t matter what brand your politics is, this is Stasi stuff. [More]
Which is why they’re so intent on declaring anyone who knows that an enemy of the state… and noting how far they’ve dumbed down their constituents, all they have to do is scream “Racist!” and “Nazi!” and their DSM functionaries will do the rest.
