Notes from the Resistance
Hunter Biden loses last-minute appeal to dismiss gun charges [More]
Any doubts if this were you or me we’d already have our place in genpop?
Meanwhile, DOJ tells me they’ve found some documents, although why they just can’t cite where they presume to get their authority from is beyond me, so I smell more go-through-the-motions stalling.
And I just had an idea. I want to run it by my advisors first.

Six petitions have been filed seeking review of that determination: Harrel v. Raoul, Herrera v. Raoul, Barnett v. Raoul, National Association for Gun Rights v. City of Naperville, Illinois, Langley v. Kelly, and Gun Owners of America, Inc. v. Raoul. Given the ubiquity of AR- and AK-type firearms, this case will likely be a blockbuster if granted. [More]
And what will it likely be if it’s not?

The latest high court action came in a 6-3 decision in Culley v. Marshall, where the justices held that there are “no due process protections for citizens in asset forfeiture proceedings to have an early court hearing to contest the government keeping possession of their seized property while they await trial.” [More]
“6-3″…? The Democrats voted right and the “pro-gun” judges voted wrong…?
What’s a government with an unlimited war chest stripping innocent-until-proven-guilty defendants of resources to defend themselves have to do with guns?
Ask the Reese family (and you’ll need to use the Wayback Machine to access my old Gun Rights Examiner links.)
I wonder if the majority got new Leathermans…
NRA-ILA Announces Lawsuit Challenging Delaware’s New Permit-to-Purchase Law [More]
Asking and paying the government for permission to exercise a right… yeah, that’s what the Founders had in mind.
And that law was passed by people who put their hand on a Bible or whatever , raised the other, and swore an oath before God and country.
Figures they’re the ones who gave us Biden.

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Smith & Wesson in its legal fight against the government of Mexico, which seeks to hold the American gun manufacturer liable for criminal acts of third parties in Mexico. [More]
Yes, real threats from the open border directly impact the “single issue” in more ways than one.
Everyone realizes the government there would not exist without cartel sanction? A loyal American State Department would have Obrador on the carpet begging us not to cut back on trade and handout benefits.
“Are you raising your eyebrows at me?” Merchan shouted at Costello. “Were you staring at me?” He sounded like a paranoid schizophrenic. A nut on the street. The psychopath in the movie Taxi Driver. [More]
Is anyone under the illusion he’s anything but a Democrat apparatchik?
One critique: The way this is presented with the byline “By James,” it’s not clear if this is his voice or Dershowitz’s…

“We are suing the state of Texas and we’re also suing, down the line, we’ll be suing the federal government,” Koskoff said. [More]
With no deep pockets going unpicked.

SCOTUS urged to hear Mexico’s lawsuit blaming US gun makers for cartel violence – GOP AGs say ‘anti-gun activists’ trying to blame US gun manufacturers for Mexico’s bad policy choices [More]
Once more I see my guy, Dave Yost, AWOL…
And once more I’ll ask him why.

The short version is that Oberlin College asserted that the insurers wrongfully refused to settle the case prior to trial, blaming the insurers not the college for the ultimate trial debacle… [More]
I’m surprised anyone will still insure them. Those companies are quick enough to cancel gun owners.
I’ve been following Oberlin happenings for a while, and for a while before that.
Coincidentally, guess what I just happen to be wearing right now, seriously, not staged or I’d have done my hair:
And as long as we’re on the subject of insurance claims, let me introduce you to one of my guilty entertainment pleasures…

SAF PREPARING FOR SCOTUS FALL HEARING IN VANDERSTOK CASE [More]
I’m not sure the “Authority to regulate firearms is solely in the hands of Congress” argument won’t ultimately come back to bite us. Perhaps if someone could point out which clause in the Constitution delegates the authority to override “shall not be infringed,” my worries would be quelled…
Trump-Appointed Judge Blocks Biden’s ATF Rule Expanding Gun Background Checks [More]
That’s the second one, right?
Texas, eh? Has everybody thanked John Cornyn yet?

The North Carolina Court of Appeals has thrown out the conviction of a homeless man who kept guns in his car while seeking kidney treatment at UNC Hospitals in 2021. Appellate judges agreed the state law used to convict Joseph John Radomski III unconstitutionally restricted his Second Amendment rights. [More]
So, who was the @$$hole “Only One,” and what does that tell us about talking to police?
And they couldn’t find one juror to do the right thing?
As an aside, the FIJA folks need to create ballot measures to demand jury instructions be changed. Even if they don’t succeed, it will spread the word and awaken citizens to this power most don’t know they have.

GOA, GOF HELP SECURE TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST BIDEN’S UNIVERSAL BACKGROUND CHECK RULE [More]
You know, the one John Cornyn enabled.
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a reply brief with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in its challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regarding arm braces for pistols. [More]
In truth, we have an absolute right to keep and bear short-barreled rifles as well, and the damn tyrants denying them to us know it.
“If you take ‘the people’ at the founding of the country, that means only white property owners have the right to bear arms,” McHugh said. In that case, McHugh pointed out, neither she nor Stevenson would be allowed to bear arms today. [More]
“Allowed…”?
Ah, the old “rights are granted” fraud. That this ignoranus is sitting on a federal bench is an obscene travesty.
And no one challenged her to show where in the Consitution it said the government was delegated the authority to disarm any free person?

Dexter Taylor Sentenced 10 Years for Building His Own Firearms After Judge Banned Mentions of Second Amendment – “She told us, ‘Do not bring the Second Amendment into this courtroom. It doesn’t exist here. So you can’t argue Second Amendment. This is New York.’” [More]
Sounds like the wrong person is behind bars.

Likening drug users to people who are “mentally ill and dangerous,” the ruling says barring them from owning firearms is not unconstitutional on its face. [More]

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals just said that the felon in possession of firearms statute may not apply to nonviolent felons. [Watch]

Hawaii tourist dies on Maui beach, and wife alleges state failed to warn her about snorkeling danger – Patti Johnson believes her husband’s snorkeling death off the coast of Maui could have been prevented had he known about a little-known danger [More]
Because we all know whose responsibility it is to make sure you know what you’re doing.
And why stop there? I’ll bet there was no warning or safety indicator on the snorkel, and those gear manufacturers and dealers have deep pockets.
llegal protests on university campuses have already triggered a number of legal actions, but so far the lawsuits likely to be most successful, and most effective at strongly discouraging similar criminal activity in the future – class actions brought by as few as one student or faculty member – seem to be overlooked, says a class action expert. [More]
Hoist them with their own petard.
And this may be viscerally satisfying, but I think this guy’s going to regret it.

Man sentenced to 15 to 20.5 years in prison for fatally shooting Akron mother [More]
Why, will he be safe by then?
On Thursday, US District Judge Frank P. Geraci denied a request by gun-rights advocates to block enforcement of a New York law requiring ammunition sales to be handled by a licensed dealer and subject to a background check for the purchaser. He determined that the law fit within the country’s historical tradition of gun regulation… [More]
So bring back the Slave Codes while we’re at it. eh, Obama appointee?
Historical anachronisms like colonists requiring loyalty oaths from Catholics were rendered unconstitutional by the Establishment clause ratified by the Framers…
Anything to avoid “shall not be infringed” from these robed punks…
