Notes from the Resistance
“Men are advantaged in every aspect of our society, yet we have worse health outcomes for most of the things that will kill you,” said Derek Griffith, director of Georgetown University’s Center for Men’s Health Equity in the Racial Justice Institute. [More]
I don’t suppose “irony” is Derek’s strong suit…
Or that GSS (Gaslight Stress Syndrome) is a medical “thing”…
A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]
Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.
The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.
Have a contemplative Patriots’ Day!
I got the above certificate along with a U.S. flag that had been flown over the Capitol back when I was still living in CA. It’s a constituent service that members of Congress provide for a nominal fee (20 bucks and up these days, depending on size and material). My dedication message read:
“In tribute to the Citizen Patriots of Lexington and Concord who resisted confiscation of their armaments on this date in 1775, and in continued defiance of all who would infringe on the Right of the People to keep and bear arms.”*
I did it because my “representative” was a big gun-grabber and refusing a pro-RKBA commemoration would have been a First Amendment violation.
With that in mind, there are plenty of other dedications antithetical to “woke” orthodoxy that could be submitted. To find out how to order one, go to your rep’s website and find the “Sevices” link.

The governor of Oklahoma has called for the resignations of the sheriff and other top officials in a rural county after they were recorded talking about “beating, killing and burying” a father/son team of local reporters — and lamenting that they could no longer hang Black people with a “damned rope.” [More]
Speaking of rope, way to give Rachel Madcow & Co. all they need to tie every Republican in with these morons.
And note the authoritarian response: They don’t deny they said it, they threaten to go after whoever “illegally” recorded it.
Seems to be a thing with a certain type…

Now seems a good opportunity to dust off a guest column on this from our old GunTruths.com site back in the 90s.

Two men are accused of a committing rash of robberies at several dollar stores and pharmacies in Cleveland and Euclid. According to prosecutors, the men committed six robberies in 12 days. [More]
And I suppose before this “rash” they’d lived the lives of young saints…?
Lester shot Yarl twice — once in the head and once in arm — after the teen mistakenly arrived on his doorstep to pick up his younger brothers who were actually waiting for him at a home about a block away. The charges carry 10 to 30 years behind bars, or life in prison, prosecutors said. [More]
Assuming the story unfolds as expected, and not to offer any excuses for the inexcusable, but what about similar treatment for these guys…?

The media care only about mass shootings that agitate white women [More]
Useful idiot fat, obnoxious cud-chewers in red Moms Demand tees provide an immediately recognizable photo op setting with narrative-advancing sound bites for ignorant, lazy “progressive journalists” to get the assigned story done with minimal personal risk.

‘Don’t demonize them’: Chicago’s new mayor-elect says it’s ‘not constructive’ to vilify group of rowdy teens that torched cars in rampage organized on social media – but condemned the chaotic takeover [More]
People who think things were intolerable under that idiot Lightfoot ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

I’d say it’s about time the anti-gun Democrats did something I agree with, but I’m fearing the devil will be in the details and this will open the door to all kinds of leftist chaos and wealth transfers from the productive…

I did my AmmoLand write-up before this was available. It looks like they were already drawn down on the door even though they knew by then they were at the wrong place. The reaction was instant.
No wonder the cops in the Kloepfer shooting want theirs kept under wraps.

Sturtevant said he regretted his vote in 2019 for a Red Flag bill that ultimately was left to die in the Senate Finance Committee. “I whiffed that,” he said. [More]
You whiffed more than that, you principles-devoid coward…

Kyle Rittenhouse announced on Saturday he filed a counter lawsuit against Gaige Grosskreutz for assault and emotional distress, stemming from their interaction when Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in self-defense during the 2020 BLM riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. [More]
He made the leftist punk his B!tch once. No reason he shouldn’t be able to do it again…

But what are due process protections when it comes to the government’s intentional deprivation of a constitutionally protected right, or even a constitutionally protected “property” right, through ex parte proceedings? [More]
Well, we could go with the stare decisis version and defer to past acts of judicial tyranny, or we could go with a historical understanding to be guided by Amendments IV, V, and VI…
That treacherous wretch Bill Lee has established his legacy.
