Notes from the Resistance
Kentucky State Police Trooper James Cameron Wright has finally been indicted by the feds for multiple civil rights violations, which were not only known by his chain of command, but some of which were personally reviewed and approved by the literal head of the Kentucky State Police. This includes beatings, perjury, and more. [Watch]
Sounds like beatings all around are in order.

DOJ Declines to Appeal Ruling Against Federal Handgun Purchase Ban for Adults Under 21 [More]
Gotta do something to mollify gun owners disgusted with Republican failure to override Parliamentarian torpedoing of NFA removals…
There’s a method to their madness.
Still, the brief adds some important points that an ultimate Supreme Court decision will need to consider: Among recognized “uses by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes” are “self-defense, target shooting, and public defense,” that last category touching on the core purpose the Framers had in mind as articulated in the first 13 words of the Second Amendment. [More]
My latest from Firearms News looks at a long called for DOJ action in support of the Second Amendment that matches its new words.
“You mentioned regulatory functions, that’s—We will not be having ATF agents go to the doors of gun owners, in the middle of the night, asking them about their guns, period. They will be out on the streets with DEA guns and drugs gun.” [More]
I have my concerns about that plan, and may not have survived the Byrd bath.
Still, if I were being grilled like that by a purple-haired shriveled corpse, two rejoinder questions immediately come to mind:
How can you NOT have contempt of Congress with shrieking freaks like this demanding fealty?

The Fourth Circuit found Wednesday that a federal regulation prohibiting the commercial sale of handguns to those under 21 is constitutionally valid, despite efforts by a group of 18 to 20-year-olds who say they should be able to buy handguns. [More]
“Federal”?
Bondi’s DOJ hasn’t thrown in the towel? Why not?
And I see the DSM is still putting “Reagan appointed” in front of that f_ing treasonous judicial dotard Harvie Wilkinson’s name, as if that somehow makes everything appear “bipartisan”…

He may have been doing business with a cartel front in Tucson, but all Reynolds’ own businesses appear to have been legitimate. And, as Reynolds said, when he declined to become an informant, the feds turned on him. [More]
Or as an earlier report speculates:
“A black NRA member sitting in a prison for terrorists may be the missing link in Fast and Furious”
Beats me. First I’m hearing of it. Nothing about the guy on SSI, either. Which just means there’s plenty not known and very little incentive for most to pursue things.
Regardless, there appear to be many loose ends and questions that cry for reopening this case. I wonder if those calling for that have made a serious effort to get a dialog going with Harmeet Dhillon?
The Department of Justice has filed a brief with the Seventh Circuit in support of our win against the Illinois “assault weapon” and standard capacity magazine bans in our Harrel v. Raoul lawsuit. [More]
I got the brief over the weekend and am working a write-up.
Also on the same case, 35 AG’s have signed onto supporting the lawsuit.

Ans DOJ is still ignoring a plea for a civil rights investigation into FOID abuses.
[Via Non_Fudd’s Ghost]
The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]
So, did Hacchim, Yaakov, Michael, and Jeffrey not get the memo?
Or does acknowledgment that “the United States will not oppose when this case returns to district court” mean they don’t want to cede procedural precedent, but they’re going to stop fighting to force cooperation with infringements?
Who’s qualified to weigh in and explain?

Don’t look to Pam Bondi’s “Second Amendment Task Force” to help.
And don’t look to SCOTUS to hear it if it did.

Talk about sugar-coating: Good grief.
You know what would work even better than “YOUR help”? Getting Pam Bondi and her ATF guy to submit well documented statements of support.
If gun owner reps had a seat at the table, they’d be able to finesse that. But the ones in a position to demand that apparently think continuing to solicit craps shoot funds is the better way to go.
I would appreciate your help resolving this situation promptly on a statewide basis without the need for litigation. [More]
Yeah, well, what you’d appreciate and what connected Democrat power player Sheriff Sean Kilkenny will do could be two very different things.
Say he says “No,” and then ties things up in court for years and at the end of the trail the Supreme Court pulls another Snope. Why shouldn’t he take his chances and tell her to go for it? Especially since it’s not his money, the Democrats could very well be back in the national saddle by then, and he could emerge as the scrappy warrior who took on the feds and beat ’em…
From the Department’s perspective, regardless of whether the Second Amendment requires an individualized restoration process for persons subject to 18 U.S.C. 922(g), 18 U.S.C. 925(c) reflects an appropriate avenue to restore firearm rights to certain individuals who no longer warrant such disability based on a combination of the nature of their past criminal activity and their subsequent and current law-abiding behavior while screening out others for whom full restoration of firearm rights would not be appropriate. [More]
The first part is fine. We need to understand how more than a select few can qualify.
As for those “others,” when are they going to learn?

For far too long, New York Democrats have weaponized state power to systematically dismantle the rights of law-abiding gun owners. That’s why I sent a letter to AG Bondi to investigate New York State’s persistent and unconstitutional assault on the Second Amendment rights of its citizens. [More]

The NFA is constitutional because it’s “a modest burden” and not a ban [More]
The Second Amendment does not say “shall not be banned.” It says “shall not be infringed.” Even modestly.
Unless you’re one of the “smartest people in the room” who buy into the Trump/Bondi DOJ is playing super secret 3D chess with court rules that they can’t tell us about, and it will all work out in the end, honest…
Then ask why they’re not pushing SBRs.

“Representative LaMonica McIver assaulted, impeded, and interfered with law enforcement in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 111 (a)(1)”… [More]
So, if convicted, will Gunsense Candidate LaMonica now be a “prohibited person”? And now that she’s been indicted, will any guns she might own be impounded?
