Notes from the Resistance
The FDIC will eliminate “reputational risk” from regulatory standards. Since President Obama began “Operation Choke Point,” Democrats and anti-gun financial institutions have weaponized “reputational risk” to de-bank the gun industry. [More]
See? Back and forth, back and forth…

The manufacturer will close its Bayonne operations and move jobs to its newly expanded headquarters in Rice Lake, Wisconsin. It will also move jobs to two additional facilities in nearby Ladysmith, Wisconsin. [More]
The state that elected this cheesehead governor…?
Oh, Henry…
Oregon Democrats are drunk out of their minds with unchecked power. The goal is to punish anyone who still believes in the Second Amendment and to drive gun dealers out of business. [More]
Plus they own the courts and Oregon Republicans, on the whole, are worse than useless.
After a floor vote on SB318 was delayed last Thursday, the bill was brought up again on the Senate Floor tonight for a vote and was passed 21 to 18. Numerous gun stores from around the state have told us the bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business. [More]
A gas-operated firearm and magazine ban, red-flag gun confiscation, and concealed carry infringements are still in the pipeline. The session ends Saturday, so Democrats are looking to do as much damage as they can.
The bill could put every gun store in New Mexico out of business by amending New Mexico’s Unfair Trade Practices Act to make it easier to sue a gun store than any other type of business and imposing harsher penalties on gun stores than any other type of business. [More]
And when they pass that, Democrats have plenty more waiting in the wings.
Guns are not just for conservative white men [More]
Don’t tell us– tell the Democrats.
Yamane is the guy behind “Gun Culture 2.0,” basically a subtle way to get gun owners to help divide and conquer by thinking it’s about guns instead of freedom, and never questioning how noobs vote and the impact that has on all our rights.

To prohibit payment card networks and covered entities from requiring the use of or assigning merchant category codes that distinguish a firearms retailer from general-merchandise retailer or sporting-goods retailer, and for other purposes. [More]
But…but…but precrime snitchware…
Now we’ll see if there are enough Vichycons joining Democrats to block it…

“They sell weapons to drug cartels… the fact is that the Ukrainian military sells a huge percentage, up to half of the weapons we send them. And this is not my guess. This is a fact. Not speculation. They sell it, and a lot of it ends up with drug cartels on our border. So this is a crime,” Carlson said, quoted by RIA Novosti. [More]
If true, it should be provable from “crime scene” serial numbers, like in Fast and Furious . If not, a correction and apology are in order.
So… is anybody else looking into it?

Today, Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) reintroduced the No User Fees for Gun Owners Act. This legislation would prohibit any state or local government from requiring insurance, taxes, user fees, or similar burdensome charges as a condition for the continued ownership of firearms, pistols, or revolvers. [More]
I wouldn’t hold my breath.
And not to p!$$ off any Fudds, but what the hell is Pittman-Robertson, anyway? Or is that a “good” infringement, and not to be questioned by mere Second Amendment absolutists?
[Via Jess]
HB 1386 creates an additional 11% excise tax on the sale of all ammunition in the state. Firearms and ammunition are already subject to an 11% federal excise tax through the Pittman-Robertson Act, along with a variety of other state and local taxes and fees. The NRA has current litigation against California’s similar 11% excise tax, and will be present at the hearing to oppose this bill. [More]
So 11% taxes are praiseworthy when they benefit Fudds but bad when they benefit gun-grabbers…?

[Y]ou are not buying products from FDC, we are simply giving you exclusive access to the wholesale vendor network while providing the customer service of a retail site. [More]
Presented here fyi. I know nothing about these folks, have no experience with them, and who.is shows site registration by proxy.
If you’ve dealt with them, feel free to add a comment. In the mean time, I’ll try to contact them and see if anyone wants to introduce themselves…
UPDATES
I see they’re associated with Brandon Herrera.
I began a dialog on FB messaging and got this returned:
I’m Taylor Spears, COO of FDC.
My business partner Chris Smith and I started FDC out of Pensacola, FL. Home of naval aviation.
I have a background in development and CIS and 12 years of operations management experience, the last 4 of which being in the firearms game.
My partner Chris has almost 20 years of retail firearms experience, and owns the largest firearm retailer on the Florida panhandle.
We brought in Brandon Herrera as part owner in our company to provide the business with a recognizable and relatable face in the 2A community (you know, the guy has been publicly recommended by the people to be the next director of the ATF).
Chris and Brandon met at an ATF hearing in Fort Walton Beach, FL when they were both testifying against ATF overreach (the retail store Chris owns was subject to a significant amount of said overreach)
We’re obscenely pro-2A, and lean very limited government and constitutionalist in our core business values.
FDC is somewhat of a Costco of the firearms world. We provide access to wholesalers in the firearm industry in exchange for a small monthly fee, and charge exactly what the vendors charge us. We make zero money off transactions on FDC and rely on customer service and our membership fees to operate off of.
Think of us as BDU without the sketch factor. We respond to our chats, fulfill the product as ordered, take care of the customer, and provide an above and beyond approach to our members.
Oh. And we pay our affiliates. That last part is rather important. We’re a small community, and everybody talks if you don’t properly treat those who represent your brand to their viewers and readers.

More attacks on RKBA, due process, self-incrimination protections, and privacy rights, while dragooning dealers into spreading the state’s terms of surrender…
You’ve got to scroll down to find them. The “real reporter” figured we needed to hear Kamala and Joe prove they’re cluelsss how the election went and demand more infringements on everybody first because of Madison.
Question about Sec. 34210: Do you see anything in there prohibiting dealers from putting a stamp on the pamphlet warning customers it’s state-mandated bull$h!+? I guess if they wanna stay open, because the vindictive bastards don’t neeed laws to persecute…

Once more high population areas full of Democrat government addicts prove how stupid and self-entitled they are and **** everything up for the rest of us by voting in communist hags.

X prides itself on being the bastion of free speech—a sanctuary for open discourse in a landscape increasingly dominated by cancel culture. Yet, its own advertising policy remains shackled by hypocrisy: gun ads are outright banned. [More]

Gun Ownership by Gender in 2024: Closing the Gender Gap [More]
Just don’t conflate gun ownership with political sanity.
This is the forehead slapper for me:
Male support for gun control has increased by 30% since 2001
Indoctrination outpaces education.
Children of an Amish farmer who sold thousands of guns despite not having the required federal firearms dealer license dropped their ownership claims to several dozen guns seized by the government. [More]
I see my questions still haven’t been answered.
[Via Jess]
There are no Second Amendment-supporting Democrats. [More]
Why would we celebrate hypocrites who vote against our rights? Besides, if owning guns was all it took, we’d have no better pal than Lon Horiuchi.
