Notes from the Resistance
Oregon’s House and Senate are in a pitched battle to see which chamber can create the most onerous and unconstitutional attacks on Oregon’s gun owners. [More]
Those who presume the powers of gods continue to manipulate mortals like expendable pawns.

Just what they need: Lori Lightfoot-level competence. Look for homicides to soar.
Hey, maybe she’ll demand a name change!
On the bright side, consider this disaster containment. She won’t be in a position to threaten the greater Republic.

Imagine that. Predators are deterred by sufficient force.
There’s a lesson to be learned here the suicide cultists are doing their damnedest to redirect, obscure, and disparage.
What follows is a detailed depiction showing the impact of bullets fired from AR-15s at two victims: Noah Pozner, 6, and Peter Wang, 15 — killed in school shootings when they were struck by multiple bullets. [More]
Now do one with some popular hunting rounds.
Interview with Reed Knight on Eugene Stoner and the AR-15 [More]
If you read and share one thing today, make Herschel Smith’s analysis that thing.
It clarifies an out-of-context quote and exposes some critical deceptive details in a recent WaPo hit piece on AR-15s and draws from an earlier exclusive report that proved civilians had it before the military was issued M16s.
As far as gun owners are concerned, it couldn’t happen to a “nicer” leftist billionaire. That Dorsey, co-founder and former CEO of Twitter and current Principal Executive Office and Chairperson of Block, should be reported as an enabler of criminal transactions while discriminating against lawful commerce in firearms is just another contradiction between what anti-gunners say they want and what they actually achieve. [More]
Help criminals and discriminate against gun owners? It’s good to be a woke elitist!
Wisconsin Assembly Passes Bill Allowing DACA Illegals in Law Enforcement [More]
And if it passes, they’ll be empowered to enforce citizen disarmament edicts and confiscate guns.
Who needs to import blue helmets when we have a ready foreign standing army reserve embedded throughout the Republic?
If you resist the new “Hessians” disarming you, will that make YOU an insurrectionist? I wonder what the founding generation would have done…
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.
Ban Assault Weapons Now [More]
You have to scroll down to realize they’re re-soliciting on a petition that has comments that are nine months old.
That makes sense in light of another email I got from them a few days back:
“I’ll get right to the heart of it: MoveOn’s fundraising is down by just over 16,000 monthly donations so far in 2023. And that comes on top of a tough 2022.”
Why Vote GOP? [More]
I sometimes ask that question myself.
The best answer I can come up with is this.

“After we questioned their motives and informed them of Oversight and Republican controlled Appropriations, they all left,” Greene added. “Protect the Second Amendment and the law abiding businesses. [More]
It feels like they were looking for a prize. Expect them to be back with a vengeance when she’s not there. And expect adverse action findings to “justify” their large presence.
I’m actually surprised they didn’t arrest her for obstruction. General counsel must have told them the optics weren’t right… yet.
Police took semiautomatic rifles, a shotgun and handguns from the Rangers and said they arrested two gang members on previous warrants. None of the Rangers were arrested, though police were frustrated residents hadn’t called them sooner. ″There is a fine line between self-defense and vigilantism,” a police spokesman said, according to the AP. [More]
If the Rangers had been aiming to misbehave, they’d have been the ones disarming the police.

If the mentally ill ’mustn’t own guns,’ what about ‘trans’ people? [More]
Without exceptions, it all boils down to one simple law that demands full due process.
The alternative is this.

It’s unlikely that Americans are half as patriotic as they were four years ago. Here’s what’s happening instead. [More]
Yeah, what’s half of nothing?

Man Who Stabbed Rand Paul Senate Aide in Broad Daylight Had Just Been Released from Prison [More]
I don’t suppose “hate crime” charges are in order…?
What’s more important? Public safety or ending “overrepresentation”?

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a case concerning gun owner privacy in California have filed a respondent’s brief in the ongoing case of Barba v. Bonta, challenging the constitutionality of a 2021 law requiring the California Department of Justice (CAL/DOJ) to share extensive personal identifying information of gun owners in the state with a non-government research group. [More]
In fairness, sneaking to violate privacy and rules just wasn’t cutting it.
Dave, like so many others you are in error concerning Heller’s statement on the M-16. Scalia wrote that anyone who say’s M-16s and the like can be banned have de facto separated and nullified the prefatory clause “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state,” from the operative “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”
“It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful
in military service—M-16 rifles and the like—may be
banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely
detached from the prefatory clause.” [More]
He’s leaving out the big “but” that immediately follows:
But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home to militia duty.
Previously qualified as:
We therefore read Miller to say only that the Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes, such as short-barreled shotguns. That accords with the historical understanding of the scope of the right…
I’ve posted this here because if I’m to get my other work done, I don’t have time to get embroiled in comments on AmmoLand, and besides, I get my say in the article and comments are for the readers.
And point of order…
