Notes from the Resistance
And his excuse for going after Fleet Farm is that its retail employees can’t do the impossible and read the hearts and minds of customers, and that it is therefore responsible for not just their criminal actions, but for the subsequent actions of those they deal with. [More]
A commie gun-grabber commits lawfare against a deep pockets victim because he can. Just like the Founders intended, right?
A Clark County man was entitled to argue self-defense when he intentionally shot toward a person, and was not required to show he intended to kill or harm the man who threatened him, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled today. [More]
While I don’t recommend warning shots, there’s no one-size-fits-all, it worked, and no one was hurt or killed. If history, text, and tradition are the new standards, there’s gotta be a place for “shot across the bow.”
Inducing someone you don’t know to “back off” seems a perfectly legitimate reason for self defense, especially considering what could have happened.
It’s interesting that the three judges against the self-defense claim were Republicans, with three Democrats and one Republican ruling in the citizen’s favor.

The Second Amendment Foundation has been granted summary judgement in a federal challenge of California’s One-Gun-A-Month (OGM) purchase law. U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes stayed his decision for 30 days for the defendants to facilitate an appeal. [More]
And thumbing noses at Bruen will drag on and on and on with the hopes that Republicans blow the election and Democrats can reshape SCOTUS to reverse it.
The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions. It cannot call out the troops or compel Congress or the president to obey. The Court relies on the executive and legislative branches to carry out its rulings. In some cases, the Supreme Court has been unable to enforce its rulings.
I’d need a lawyer to weigh in on whether they could charge inferior court judges with contempt for disregarding their rulings, and they’d still be dependent on the other branches. I fear the only “legal” remedy is impeachment, for which Republicans have neither the power nor the appetite.
So now we have to see what Hayes says in a month, and then see who initiates an appeal, then lather, rinse, repeat.
The analogy of undocumented immigrants to British loyalists is interesting. If a law-abiding, former enemy of the state could possess a firearm, an undocumented, but otherwise law-abiding, immigrant seems less extreme in comparison. [More]
He’s not “otherwise law-abiding.” He is an invader in possession during the commission of a crime.
The Obama judge is doing this on purpose to undermine Bruen.

Since when is any conflict not made better by adding “Only Ones” into the mix?
It actually sounds like they both deserve each other, but the legal hurdles, penalties, and expenses raise a question as to just how far “the law” could go, depending on the jurisdiction.
The brief recalls how Congress enacted the Gun Control Act of 1968 pursuant to the Commerce Clause with no intention of discouraging or eliminating the private ownership or use of firearms by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes. [More]
That’s not how the bill’s author felt:
ALL “gun control” is just another incremental step to the end goal– citizen disarmament. We don’t do ourselves any favors by believing otherwise and arguing that in court.
A police officer who visited Russo’s home to investigate allegedly reported that the dog was stiff, barely breathing, and appeared to be uncomfortable. The officer obtained a warrant and had Tipper euthanized. [More]
In Massachussetts, “Only Ones” are also “qualified” to file an ERPO petition.
Hey, take the dogs first, due process later, right?
It’s for the greater good…

I should go back and retitle this Damned Lie/Truth.

Judge Brian Lovell was indicted on eight counts of deadly conduct discharge of a firearm. He was arrested and charged after an incident in Austin, Texas in 2023. He was arrested for reportedly firing a gun at five cars, then ramming his SUV into the back of a woman’s car twice. [More]
I just spent several minutes trying to find out about his politics and came up empty. Anybody got relevant links?

Detective Gary Staab had wrongly obtained the warrant to search Johnson’s home because he did not point out that the app’s information is not precise and provides only a general location where a phone could be, the lawsuit said. [More]
Guess what the very first thing was that popped up when I went to check out the technology:
That’s some police work, fellas.

A Lincoln man will spend the next two decades behind bars for possessing a machine gun and marijuana. [More]
Just like the Founders intended.
Meanwhile, a Satanic thrill killer who has shown no remorse is out after 14, thanks to the same Democrats who want to disarm you.
And Hunter Biden, of course…

The Supreme Court on Monday tossed out a Colorado court ruling that barred Donald Trump from appearing on the state’s Republican presidential primary ballot. The ruling means that no other state can bar Trump, or any other candidate, from a presidential ballot by invoking the insurrection clause in the Constitution. [More]
Plea to Pres. Trump: As all the treasonous lawfare has shown, these people will stop at nothing. Now that this door has been slammed shut, some are no doubt plotting more extreme measures of exclusion. Double your security and most of all, LISTEN TO THEM.

Cooper wrote that he “recognizes the paramount importance of a free press in our society” and the critical role of confidential sources in investigative journalism. But the judge said the court “also has its own role to play in upholding the law and safeguarding judicial authority.” [More]
I know Mike and I were committed to being jailed before revealing our sources. You’re just going to have to trust me when I tell you that people have no idea what went on behind the scenes of this, and the fears that went with it.
