Notes from the Resistance
Justice Department Opens Investigation of Philadelphia Police Department’s Allegedly Unconstitutional Permit Revocation Practices [More]
Glad to see I’m in good company…
From a strictly political point of view, this is a really good move for disarming accusations that the administration is racist. Who is it that wants to ban their guns and who is it saying they have a right to them until and unless they abuse it?

Two Former Utah Court Clerks Arrested and Facing Federal Charges after Allegedly Helping Illegal Aliens Evade ICE Arrest [More]
I don’t see any profiling surprises here.
Hey, how come they get a GoFundMe page but Second Amendment defenders don’t?

US attorney accuses California of blocking voter roll audit- Federal prosecutors have sued California to release voter registration records, saying universal vote-by-mail and no voter ID system creates conditions for fraud [More]
Whatever the results, California is still going to be overwhelmingly Democrat. How about focusing on some swing states that were close?

DOJ’s Second Amendment Section Investigates Philadelphia’s ‘Good Cause’ Firearms Permitting Standard [More]
Wake me when they investigate firearms permitting.
Thursday on CNN International’s “Connect the World,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC), who claims the ability to end Todd Blanche’s nomination for Attorney General with a “no” vote in the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Blanche must condemn those involved in the January 6 to get his vote. [More]
It’s always the enemy inside the gates who can do the most damage, and it’s been clear for a long time that he intends to maximize that until his term expires.
That Republicans aren’t even floating the idea of removing him from the committee shows the Swamp is far from drained.

MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [More]
Translation: We’ll put on a show and throw you some short-lived scraps once in a while to make it look like we haven’t been completely lying to you about the right to keep and bear arms, but when it comes down to actually obeying the “shall not be infringed” mandate, well, f_ you.
Keep stokin’ that fire in our bellies, boys!

TELL PRESIDENT TRUMP: PARDON TATE ADAMIAK! [More]
You can call or do what I do to ask others to join in.
And point of order, I think an acknowledgment link for the work most responsible for bringing this to our attention would have been appropriate.
DOJ moves to erase seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers, Proud Boys in Jan. 6 cases [More]
I don’t really know anything about Proud Boys but I can say if Oath Keepers had wanted to engage in sedition they had the capability to go in armed and tactically coordinated, and based on the LE performance we all saw, take over the place.

The question is this. Since September of 2025, how many federal government lawsuits from Trump’s Department of Justice have been filed in support of the Second Amendment against gun control jurisdictions across the country? Five times. [Watch]
I’m in a mood today. I see stuff like this and my first thought is it’s a way to turn the heat down for a bit to keep the frog from jumping.

THIRTEEN CHARGED AS FEDS CRACK INTERNATIONAL GUN SMUGGLING RING EXPLOITING THE U.S. AND CANADA BORDER… Straw-Purchased Firearms Sourced from New Hampshire Gun Dealers Were Recovered at Canadian Crime Scenes [More]
This reminds me of something. But what…?
I wonder how many CIs they had embedded in the Akwesasne ring, and if guns could have been intercepted before “walking” across the border– or it being Canada, would it be “gunsledding”?

DOJ targets DC firearm suppressor ban in amended complaint [More]
Not that they’re going to do anything about rescinding the entire NFA registration infringement… although you’d never know it from this.
DOJ Tells Virginia ‘See You in Court’ After Latest Gun Ban – Virginia defined those guns as “assault firearms.” [More]
It doesn’t strike ruling Democrats that the official seal of the Commonwealth shows armed Virtue standing over a slain corpse, with the motto “Thus always to tyrants,” or that the fallen crown shows what the Founders had in mind by “No Kings”…?

“The City has banned an arm in common use for lawful purposes by law-abiding citizens. Therefore, the Ordinance violates the Second Amendment.”
That’s not why the ban violates it. [More]
If something needs to be officially designated “popular” by government in order to be “legal,” we may as well start calling each other “Comrade.”
The Trump Administration Is a Powerful but Unreliable Ally of Second Amendment Advocates – Even as the Justice Department files lawsuits aimed at vindicating gun rights, it undermines them in other cases. [More]
I’d use a different word than “unreliable”…
I wonder what it would take to fix that…

“Assistant US attorney Charles Strauss Jr,” Peterson said. “He was actually on site for the raid. He actually orchestrated and coordinated the raid. It wasn’t done with law enforcement. It was done through the prosecution. So, the prosecution actually was the ones who did the raid, orchestrated it, and it was because of the bipartisan Safer Communities Act…the US assistant US attorney, actually told my attorney that Peterson will never traffic firearms again. That was one of his statements.” [More]
His LinkedIn page says he’s still employed…
Tate Adamiak’s upcoming ‘Diesel Therapy’ cancelled—he won
Adamiak will not spend the next 50 days in the back of a prison van. [More]
Hopefully, some administration higher-ups are starting to realize this isn’t a good look for them or the man they represent.
Top DOJ official predicts Supreme Court will declare AR-15 rifles legal everywhere in America [More]
Great, as it should be.
I don’t mean to be the party pooper, but heeding Mr. Wolf (NSFW) for a second, two concerns remain:
Assuming we can get it to stick, how does the administration sound on ending NFA and GCA mg registration and the post-’86 ban? ?
Yeah, I know, there I go blackpilling again. Just ignore me and have some rainbow stew.
Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said Monday the city will not bend the knee to a legal threat from the U.S. Department of Justice over the city’s longstanding assault weapons ban. [More]
That’s some industrial-strength gaslighting right there.
Anybody else getting an Iran vibe out of the administration offering a deal and having it rejected out of hand by people who think they can hold out until the clock runs out?
Civil Rights Division Sues Cloudera for Excluding U.S. Workers from Applying to High-Paying Technology Jobs [More]
Meet the rope-selling capitalists.
OK, but what’s this got to do with the Second Amendment?
No worries– Vivek will save us!
