Notes from the Resistance
Just as they chose handguns in Heller, the American people in large numbers have chosen to arm themselves for their protection with ammunition feeding devices capable of holding more than ten rounds. Because the arms at issue are “in common use” and typically possessed by law abiding citizens for lawful purposes, Washington’s ban violates the Second Amendment. [More]
The common use the Founders were interested in is by the military. That’s why they said “arms.”

Elizabeth Rochford, the judge who pushed Illinois’ “assault weapon” ban over the top, is a demonstrably allied with and beholden to the gun-grabbers and did not recuse herself. [More]
This is the real story, about in-your-face corrupt tyranny, deserving of screaming headlines.
Instead, not a single “#real reporter” working for the DSM (Duranty/Streicher Media) is reporting on this, and like so many stories of import to freedom, we have to learn about it from rights advocates followed by limited niche interests. Meanwhile, as planned and controlled, the general voting public remains blissfully ignorant of what’s being done to them by apparatchiks, deceivers, and those who pull their strings.
An honest “progressive” would object to this. Guess what it means that none has.
Free people cannot coexist with this.

Darren Bailey—a Republican who ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2022 and who is now running for Congress—threatened to end his own life if cops come to seize his assault rifles after the Illinois Supreme Court upheld the state’s assault weapons ban on Friday. [More]
That’s not what he said, Caitlan Cruz of Jezebel and Yahoo! News, you liars.
That said, the guy needs to channel him some Patton.
Today, the National Association for Gun Rights filed a lawsuit against the ATF, National Association for Gun Rights v. Garland, in federal court in the Northern District of Texas. This action was filed in the same appellate circuit that ruled earlier this year that bump stocks are not machine guns in Cargill v. Garland. [More]
More and more NAGR is showing itself to be a major player on the national scene worthy of support. Perhaps it’s time to bury the past.

Philadelphia is suing three firearm retailers – Frank’s Gun Shop Double Tap Shooting Range and Delia’s Gun Shop in Northeast Philadelphia, and Tanner’s Sports Center in Bucks County – alleging the businesses are participating in illegal straw purchases, an illicit criminal activity where an individual lies on the background check form that they are the actual purchasers and instead sells or transfers a firearm to someone who can’t or won’t be associated with the sale of a firearm.

Oberlin College Sues Insurers For Refusing To Cover $36 Million It Paid Gibson’s Bakery For Defamation And Other Torts (Update)- .
Four insurance companies have told the college to pound sand. Have you ever rooted for insurance companies ever? There’s a first for everything. [More]
I’ve been following this story for some time because I have a bit of history with Oberlin.
We actually drove there yesterday to tour a Frank Lloyd Wright house deeded to the college, and I had time to stop in at Gibson’s and buy a t-shirt.
I’ve always liked Wright even though I am presumptuous enough to question some of his design choices. I learned about Fallingwater in college and his son’s Wayfarer’s Chapel was a regular place we’d take visitors to see when we lived nearby in SoCal.
Here’s the house, and also there was the weirdest non sequitur of a sticker on the back of a sign at the entrance to the property:

With Oregon’s Legislature out of session and the first step in our Federal lawsuit to stop Ballot Measure 114 behind us, things may seem a bit “quiet” on the gun rights front. But like so much in life, things are boiling beneath the surface. [More]
Oregon gun owners need to take this time to understand their situation, recruit support, and get involved.
That the antis have glommed onto “self-defense” as an exclusionary qualifier was inevitable since that’s all the “common possessors” on our side ever talk about.
If we keep limiting ourselves that way, arms needed for the core purpose and all new technological developments restricted to military/police use will be forever denied to the people the Second Amendment was meant to apply to, and not just for “self-defense.”
I’m waiting for one of our legal influencers with a reach longer than mine to admit this and start using it.
Alternatively, I’m waiting for one of them to have the guts to challenge me on this and prove me wrong.

Hunter Biden’s plea deal fell apart during his first court appearance Wednesday morning as he pleaded “not guilty” and federal prosecutors confirmed the president’s son is still under federal investigation. [More]
ATF just denied my latest FOIA request on the grounds that there’s an ongoing investigation. I’m looking into options, but this will no doubt delay things further, perhaps indefinitley, and part of me wonders if that’s the plan.
Even this guy’s lawyers are crooked.

The Biden administration was dealt a major blow in its efforts to control the ongoing border crisis on Tuesday when a federal judge blocked a rule introduced in May that makes migrants ineligible for asylum if they have entered illegally and failed to take advantage of expanded lawful pathways set up by the federal government. [More]
Since when has the Biden administration been trying to control the crisis, as opposed to pouring fuel on the fire?
Tigar’s a goddam Brit-born Berkeley grad and Obama appointee. And this sounds like exactly what the Democrats were hoping for.

But Mexico’s lawyers argued the law only bars lawsuits over injuries that occur in the United States and does not shield the seven manufacturers and one distributor it sued from liability over the trafficking of guns to Mexican criminals. [More]
That’s right, and if they’d done what the U.S. government, in willful collusion with corrupt Mexican government, military, and law enforcement officials continues to do, they’d be liable.
It takes a special kind of traitor to argue otherwise in court.

The State does not dispute that California’s unworkable ammunition purchasing laws have stopped thousands of people who are legally eligible to buy ammunition from buying it. But, amazingly, the State is now arguing that the case should not move forward because CRPA does not have legal “standing” to challenge the law because its members have not themselves encountered these problems. That’s nonsense, of course. But to assist CRPA in demonstrating how the law continues to block eligible people, particularly CRPA members, from buying ammunition, CRPA needs declarations from members and supporters evidencing any problems you have recently faced when trying to buy ammunition. [More]
Give them all the ammunition they need to blow this case wide open.
