So is that what they call a rhetorical question?

Notes from the Resistance

114 STILL ON HOLD [More]
While the legal wrangling is going on, recognition of “unalienable” rights is not.
Time was tyrannical outrages were properly regarded as Intolerable Acts.
A federal appeals court on Monday allowed New York to restrict the carrying of firearms on private property under a new law adopted in wake of a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded gun rights. [More]
Sack is a Clintonista and Wesley was appointed by Dubya, but Bianco was a Trump nominee.
We haven’t heard the last of this, but the first of it is ludicrous, offensive and intolerable.

State Department Publishes New Guidelines for Export Compliance Programs [and] ATF Revises the Form 4473 (5300.9) Firearms Transaction Record [More]
This should post to their “Alerts” page soon, and that’s the one you really ought to bookmark if you want expert analyses of industry legal and regulatory developments.

I joined Bill Frady yesterday to talk about the Secret Service/Hunter Biden affidavit and ATF wanting to destroy Gunwalker guns:
Accused killer may soon be released after 4 years in jail, no trial [More]
Seeing as how the Sixth Amendment supposedly guarantees “a right to a speedy and public trial,” why aren’t the government officials responsible for this in jail?
And that said, what have we learned about taking in derelicts?

What is it they say about payback?
Let’s hope this further discourages alumni from donating.

These have posted since Friday afternoon:
Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion for a stay pending appeal is GRANTED and … Appellees’ motion to expedite the resolution of the matter is GRANTED. [More]
So the infringements will continue but we’ll hurry up about making a decision?
Here’s the original Antonyuk v. Hochul complaint for those unfamiliar with the case. Just to give you an idea of how full of sh… uh… beans the other side is, check out this bit of lying, hoplophobic hysteria from Brady president Kris Brown:
New Yorkers, like all Americans, do not want their supermarkets, public squares, and child care centers turned into bullet-riddled crime scenes.
Where haven’t lawful concealed carriers done that?

Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in state court, preventing the entire new Oregon gun control law from being enforced. Signed by Judge Robert S. Raschio, the order bars the state from implementing any portion of the law until a hearing is held on a request for a preliminary injunction next Tuesday. [More]
I guess it all depends on the judge…

UPDATE

This email from Oregon Firearms Federation just came across the transom. Since it is not yet posted to the “Alerts” page I am pasting it here in its entirety:
Early this morning we were notified that Judge Karin Immergut has denied our motion to delay the implementation of Ballot Measure 114.
She did agree with the state’s request to delay the permitting process for 30 days. A process the state assured the court will be ready by Thursday.
That will provide no protection for anyone who currently owns a standard capacity magazine or anyone who owns a common shotgun which will now be contraband.
It also does nothing for anyone waiting to take possession of a firearm they paid for but have not received, if that gun comes with a standard magazine.
Furthermore, come Thursday even security guards and off duty police will be breaking the law if they are in possession of a standard magazine.
This is a lengthy (and obviously disappointing) decision and we will have more information soon. But for now, unless something really unexpected happens, understand that your rights will be, once again, seriously eroded starting Thursday.

The cop who killed Shaver was fired. But he will receive a disability pension for the rest of his life because he claims he has post-traumatic stress disorder. [More]
And the tax cows he would have willingly executed as they groveled before him will foot the bill for everything.
MAJOR 2A CALIFORNIA COURT VICTORY: Critical Win for Gun Rights Supporters TODAY [Watch]
California’s tyrannical attempt to stifle peaceful revolution by economically coercing against petitioning government for redress of grievances gets set back by Judge Benitez.
I didn’t find announcements on SAF, FPC, and Ninth Circuit websites yet, and nothing yet on a news search, so Mark W. Smith has the scoop.
Rob Bonta really is evil.

A California clerk was fatally shot by a robbery suspect, authorities say. The suspect won’t be charged with murder. The suspect was fleeing the robbery at the Antioch gas station when the clerk chased him and opened fire. Then the suspect returned fire, which experts say could be argued as self-defense. [More]
You just can’t claim the same with state enforcers.
Here I thought that if anyone died during the commission of a crime all the perps involved could be charged. Crime scene getaway isn’t a crime in CA?
Who wants to bet Jackson was carrying “illegally” and has a rap sheet?
And all that said, yeah, you’re not allowed to go after criminals. You have to let them go to where they can kill somebody else.
