Notes from the Resistance
“Within 15 minutes, we had people coming in,” Krahl told the Tribune on Saturday. “There was a line outside the door before I could open up this morning. There will be no lunch today, because we’ll be going nonstop.” [More]
When voting with your ballots doesn’t work, there’s always Plan B.
And if the tyrants try to exploit that, Plan C.
CRS FIREARMS CASE: Can this 2014 legal precedent involving ATF save Matt Hoover? [Watch]
You’d think not working would be all it took.

These cases have national implications. As you know, similar battles are being fought all over the country with varying results. But now, faced with not only our Federal lawsuits but two other lawsuits whose only goal is harassment, we are being crushed financially. [More]
That’s the plan.
The latest twist in the ongoing legal saga regarding the legality of bump stocks – used to increase the rate of fire on semiautomatic weapons – is a win for gun owners, after a Sixth Circuit panel unanimously found Tuesday the government cannot enforce a rule that bans the devices. [More]
So I might still get my bump stock back?
In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect. [More]
This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”
“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…

Nice to know our rights are being decided by the very best… Is there anything cleaner than Illinois politics?
If you don’t have Mom-At-Arms bookmarked, you’re missing out on routine unique “finds” that the ‘real reporters” will never tell you about.
Charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin in the fatal shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of his Western movie “Rust” after “new facts” surfaced in recent days, officials said Thursday. [More]
Thank goodness! Now he can get back to lecturing the rest of us on “commonsense gun safety laws”!
In the absence of evidence showing deliberate misbehavior on the part of the armorer, would it be out of line to wonder how much those “new facts” cost?

On certain firearms being banned over others, McGlynn gave Wells several scenarios. One he gave was of a wife home alone with four intruders… On certain firearms features, like collapsible stocks being banned, McGlynn gave another scenario… [More]
I don’t see how McGlynn can rule against the plaintiffs without showing himself to be cognitively dissonant to the point of being bipolar.
As for Wells, he’s just a damn Judas to his countrymen. All he can spout back are BS platitudes.

A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]
Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.
The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.

I’d say it’s about time the anti-gun Democrats did something I agree with, but I’m fearing the devil will be in the details and this will open the door to all kinds of leftist chaos and wealth transfers from the productive…

Kyle Rittenhouse announced on Saturday he filed a counter lawsuit against Gaige Grosskreutz for assault and emotional distress, stemming from their interaction when Rittenhouse shot Grosskreutz in self-defense during the 2020 BLM riots in Kenosha, Wisconsin. [More]
He made the leftist punk his B!tch once. No reason he shouldn’t be able to do it again…

But what are due process protections when it comes to the government’s intentional deprivation of a constitutionally protected right, or even a constitutionally protected “property” right, through ex parte proceedings? [More]
Well, we could go with the stare decisis version and defer to past acts of judicial tyranny, or we could go with a historical understanding to be guided by Amendments IV, V, and VI…
That treacherous wretch Bill Lee has established his legacy.
I’ll be leaving this afternoon for the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis. (Those who caution me not to make public announcements of absences, don’t worry. Elder feral son Uday will be coming over and I’m neither chaining him up nor feeding him.) If you’re going I hope to meet you, assuming you don’t want to punch me out. I’ll be bringing a poll with me that I’ll be doing an article about that should take less than a minute to answer, so I hope I can count on your cooperation.
I’ve got a ton of stuff to do today to get ready, including finishing up an article and maybe drafting a new one if I can get to it. The dandelions here are in full bloom so I also need to take a couple of hours for yard work before the neighbors run me out.
As such, news tips emailed to me that I decide to present here are all going to be linked in this post with no commentary and a mass credit at the bottom. With that in mind, please don’t submit any more from this point on until Monday, and understand that I will not be moderating comments received after I leave until I return.
The following list will be added to as long as I can get to it:

And then there’s action on the restraining order front…
I’ll bet a lot of “prohibited person” exclusions could be overturned with the right case, starting with the “one year” nonsense that has no bearing on proven proclivities for violence.
Minnesota argues it is not liable for police dog attack – Sovereign immunity in the case of a car dealership employee bitten by a K-9 may hinge on the question of whether the state can be “the owner” of a dog under Minnesota’s dog-bite statute. [More]
You can tell a lot about character from people who won’t clean up after their dogs.

Do you have any kind of a justification for not exposing the blatant criminality of the legal system? [More]
If I’m reading this right, I’m part of the problem, and this is the only guy doing anything about it.
Still, I wouldn’t mind comparing records.
