Notes from the Resistance
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?
Department of Justice Announces Settlement of Litigation Between the Federal Government and Rare Breed Triggers… The settlement includes agreed-upon conditions that significantly advance public safety with respect to FRTs, including that Rare Breed will not develop or design FRTs for use in any pistol and will enforce its patents to prevent infringement that could threaten public safety. Rare Breed also agrees to promote the safe and responsible use of its products. [More]
It’s a yuge step.
It’s also not “shall not be infringed.”

I said “at this writing” and it wasn’t up when I submitted the article. And DOJ did it before on April 25.
That said, I trust one “tweet” (what do they call them these days?) won’t be it for you? Because I still see nothing on your website under “News,” “Press Releases,” or your blog.
And the three majors are still saying nothing.
I don’t get it with them. Or I do and hope I’m wrong.

“This insanely offensive brief should never have been filed in any court, let alone at the Fifth Circuit. It should be immediately withdrawn and thrown into the trash, along with Mr. Lemon’s ability to make these filings in the future. This is a prime example of why President Trump should appoint a competent Second Amendment czar to coordinate the administration’s agenda across the government and with stakeholders in Second Amendment litigation. Our rights must be protected at all costs and the American people are counting on President Trump and Attorney General Bondi to fulfill their promise to do just that.” [More]
This came out before my piece on gun group silence. I missed noting it in my AmmoLand piece because I was looking for reactions from national groups to include a more recent case where DOJ argued “Machine guns are atypical weapons not protected by the Second Amendment because a reasonable person would not expect them to be used in militia service,” and was specifically looking at the Big Three 501(c)(3)s that have political clout.
My major beef with FPC’s plan: I’ve explained it before: I don’t like “czar,” and anyone in that position would be feeding from the same hand. Gun owner advocates are owed a place at the table as members– we’re not dogs who should be grateful for scraps thrown down to us. It’s our table.
If you want relief, contact your state representatives, the Democrat ones who are passing citizen disarmament edicts, and ask them not to. [More]
The bipolarity will continue until such time as gun owner advocates have a seat at the decision-making table.

Feds insist Second Amendment doesn’t protect machine guns [More]
And try figuring this argument out:
Machine guns are atypical weapons not protected by the Second Amendment because a reasonable person would not expect them to be used in militia service, the federal government argued Wednesday before an appeals panel.
Right. The Founders obviously intended the citizenry to resist tyranny with inferior arms.
I assume these government lawyer aren’t retarded, so that makes them goddamn liars.
If machine guns aren’t protected, the Second Amendment is a dead letter and anyone who maintains otherwise is a fraud.
