Notes from the Resistance
That’s also in keeping with text and tradition:
“He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend [it]self.” (1747 Philadelphia sermon)
The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Civil Rights Division on Tuesday asked a federal court to grant an injunction blocking California’s ban on Glock pistols. [More]
Imagine that– DOJ enforcing the Second Amendment.
It seems like only yesterday I had to write a letter to NRA-ILA telling them to call off their rep who was discouraging gun owners from supporting the effort by dismissing us as, quote, “wild-eyed extremists.”

I do not understand why these lawyers are not being babysat by the Second Amendment unit of the Department of Justice because I cannot believe that people like Harmeet Dhillon would have signed off on the brief that was just filed by the Department of Justice in the Chris Brown versus BATF case… [Watch]
I understand why. I can believe it.
I don’t blame embedded subversives any more than the frog should blame the scorpion. I blame those they report to who have let them stay on and get away with it.

The Biden Justice Department retaliated against the Drug Enforcement Administration agent who exposed an operation allowing hundreds of thousands of fentanyl pills to enter the United States, the whistleblower’s lawyer said… The fentanyl operation has drawn comparisons to “Operation Fast and Furious,” a Justice Department gunwalking scandal that occurred during the Obama administration.

Ask yourself how those who want to disarm us benefit from guns to cartels or drugs to addicts and a very disturbing picture emerges.
They are monsters.

The need to apply consistent criteria is not only a matter of basic fairness, but of law. [More]
The very first comment needs to be addressed. With an initial estimate of 50 FTEs processing applications, the need to minimize subjectivity and establish consistency should be self-evident, especially noting how DOJ has shown it can still be all over the board on 2A, even under a “pro-gun administration.”
Further noting this is a rule and not a law, it’s not hard to see how lack of clear criteria could allow all kinds of negative dispositions under a new administration for those applicatons already in the pipeline before it terminates the program altogether.
“The Trump Administration is fighting as hard as it can to continue violating the Second Amendment rights of millions of Americans. Even though the Fifth Circuit already held that these bans are unconstitutional, the government is trying to limit the decision’s reach so it can keep disarming peaceable adults across the country. This is how the United States government celebrates 250 years of American independence—by acting like the tyrants we defeated. [More]
Just after getting an “attagirl.”
I’m telling ya: Bipolar.
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?

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”?
