Notes from the Resistance
A former bodega clerk who was infamously charged with murder after fatally stabbing an attacker in his store last year in what he claimed was self-defense is suing lefty Manhattan District Attorney Alvin and the New York City Police Department for racial discrimination. [More]
Too bad he can’t sue them as individuals. Then again, New Yorkers vote for this crap.

So the Ninth Circuit has immediately declared they’re going to handle this case en banc without allowing a three judge panel to hear it first… [Watch]
The only real question: Will the Supreme Court let 9th Circuit Democrat apparatchiks get away with how they’ve signaled they intend to rule?

They’re going after Trump with scorched earth lawfare backed by the might of states in collusion with the feds.
You can’t counter that with committee meetings the DSM either ignores and/or misrepresents/condemns.

Kloepfer’s assertions against the County Attorney’s Motion to dismiss reject his claims, citing precedents, arguing qualified immunity does not apply because “Defendant Brown published a press release he knew or should have known to be false to ‘control the narrative’ about misconduct in a malicious and corrupt manner that constituted conduct prejudicial to the administration of justice”… [More]
The defense of the indefensible continues.
GOA, GOF JOIN GUN OWNERS OF CALIFORNIA IN SUIT CHALLENGING CALIFORNIA’S BRAND NEW ANTI-CONCEALED CARRY LAW [More]
This, TINVOWOOTers, is why denying Democrats an unchallengeable majority is legit.
The judge now has about 60 days to reach a decision. While it is always risky to predict how a judge will rule, we think the trial went as well as possible considering the state has endless resources and supporters of the Constitution have to pay for their lawyer and the state’s… Meanwhile, the Oregon Firearms Federation federal lawsuit moves forward in the 9th Circuit where we believe all these battles will end up eventually. The defeat of the California ban is a very positive sign for that fight… [More]
That and the odious Vikki Breese Iverson has been replaced by Jeff Helfrich.

Burger King faces boycott after yanking ads from Rumble over Russell Brand accusations [More]
Someone at corporate decided joining the pile-on was the right virtue signal to send.
I guess the only logically consistent position to take is that Burger King is guilty and must be punished.
Say, maybe that’s the reason they’re trying to build up “woke” points…
OK, but what do dire consequences based on unproven allegations have to do with guns?
Hunter Biden sues Rudy Giuliani in latest ‘laptop’ salvo –
The suit accuses Giuliani of contributing to the “annihilation” of his privacy. [More]
Where have we heard that before?
You wanna see “annihilation”…?
From some earlier research I’d done based on the Marco Polo report:
“The text at the bottom of Hunter’s signed invoice clearly stipulated the consequences if he did not return to the repair shop to pick up the laptop: ‘Equipment left with the Mac Shop after 90 days of notification of completed service will be treated as abandoned and you agree to hold the Mac Shop harmless for any damage or loss of property. In the event of nonpayment, The Mac Shop reserves the right to remove any equipment or parts installed.’”
Per an FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin article citing the Supreme Court on “Abandonment of Items Associated with the Person,” and noting that both Biden’s gun and laptop were abandoned, the former being discarded in a supermarket trash bin and the latter through contractually-stipulated abandonment :
“A person has no private or possessory interest in property that was abandoned.”
Removable firearm magazines of all sizes are necessary components of semiautomatic firearms. Therefore, magazines come within the text of the constitutional declaration that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. [More]
Judge Benitez had better stay healthy.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) launched a savage attack on a federal judge on social media Friday evening, calling U.S. Judge Roger T. Benitez “an extremist, right-wing zealot with no regard to [sic] human life.” [More]

First, our lawsuit and the Temporary Restraining Order are still in place. The governor has amended her public health order, but we have not withdrawn our lawsuit and the hearing on October 3rd for the injunction is still scheduled to happen. We commissioned a poll through a professional polling firm on how the New Mexico electorate views her order, and we found broad, bipartisan opposition to her order. We also found that 91% of New Mexicans believed the problem with crime is criminals, not guns. [More]

“It’s obvious the court is not on our side on a whole host of issues,” said Democratic Rep. Meg Froelich of Denver, co-chair of the legislature’s Gun Violence Prevention Caucus. But she said advocates for stricter gun laws at the statehouse aren’t going to slow down, in spite of legal challenges from Second Amendment advocates. [More]

Besides, ultimately, gun owners will decide.
