Notes from the Resistance
The NFA’s Regulation of Suppressors and Short-Barreled Rifles Violates the Second Amendment [More]
The sick joke is everybody knows that.
Once more I see arguments are long on “common use” and short on “militia,” but I guess we need a point of entry to get this into the interminable appeals cycle and hold it there long enough for Republicans to blow it and communist Democrats to regain power…
Perhaps the strategy is for B0ndi to take a dive…?
New Jersey laws banning gun silencers and short-barreled rifles are unconstitutional, according to two separate federal lawsuits brought against the state by New Jersey residents, the National Rifle Association, and the Firearms Policy Coalition. [More]
So, what judicial contortions will the Democrat judges have to go through to pretend that they’re not? Then appeal, then go to SCOTUS, then have them either not hear it or have whatever they say ignored by the lower courts, and years and dollars later we’re still being solicited to fund more complaints…
And then see whether or not Republicans manage to blow the midterms…
I’d say “Sorry I sound so negative,” but I’m not– I’m merely observing how things have worked so far.

And a circuit split is one of the conditions for SCOTUS to grant cert….
I respect that Braden Langley is one of the few who give links to substantiate and credit where they get their information from. That’s a litmus test for me. Too many “guntubers” don’t, which is another reason I rarely link to them, and avoid some altogether who just exploit the work of others.

In several of these venues, the administration’s challengers are almost guaranteed that a judge picked by Joe Biden, Barack Obama, or Bill Clinton will preside over their case. [More]
So much for checks and balances.
Don’t look to Democrat legislators to change that. The question now is, will SCOTUS?

The Supreme Court unanimously threw out Mexico’s multi-billion-dollar lawsuit against the American gun industry on Thursday that sought to usher in major changes to firearm sales by holding companies liable for cartel violence. [More]
At what point will the industry go after Jonathan Lowy for costs and fees?
Obama Judge Says to Hell with the Supreme Court, Orders Trump DOJ to Turn Over Docs Related to Decision to Revoke ‘Protected Status’ for Hundreds of Thousands of Migrants [More]
Millions of Democrat cultists are fine with inferior courts imposing their subversion on the rest of the Republic, and they have enough representation to block a fix by Congress. At some point, Trump will need to exercise executive prerogative.

The text of the Second Amendment encompasses the purchase of firearms by 18-to20-year-olds, as the en banc majority below did not dispute, Pet.App.43a–44a, and as the majority was also forced to acknowledge, “the Founding era lacked express prohibitions on the purchase of firearms” by 18-to-20-year-olds. Id. at 30a. Indeed, the eighteenth century laws that come closest to reflecting a “Founding-era policy on age and firearms”—militia laws throughout the Nation obliging eighteen-year-olds to muster for militia service bearing firearms they were legally obligated to acquire for themselves—in fact “reflect the policy that eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds should be armed.” Id. at 159a (Brasher, J., dissenting). That should have been the beginning and the end of any suggestion that Florida’s age ban “is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). [More]

The lawsuit stems from a 2021 Zoom meeting where then-Commissioner Ron Clous briefly displayed a rifle on camera… Four years later, the settlement was finalized with insurance funds, not taxpayer dollars, covering the cost. [More]
Whose dollars pay for the insurance, and did it go up after that?
Yeah, she’s a meddlesome old prohibitionist biddy, but what kind of reaction should this have provoked?
Tell me if an Antifa promoter in government had done this as a response to something you’d said that you wouldn’t take it as the unwarranted chilling of speech and challenge to escalate beyond words that it was. He invited this, a lawsuit response from an indignant community busybody was predictable, he invited it, and the board should have immediately dressed and shut him down, and made him liable for the fallout.
In this conversation, Mark Walters and David Codrea delve into the complexities surrounding the Second Amendment and gun control. They discuss the implications of the ‘common use’ argument, the distinction between self-defense and militia purposes, and the political landscape regarding gun rights. Personal anecdotes highlight how perspectives on gun ownership can change over time, emphasizing the importance of understanding the historical context of the Second Amendment. [More]
