Notes from the Resistance
We are losing machine guns, folks, and we’re losing them every single day, and they’re never coming back most likely. [Watch]
As long as lawyers representing us continue to treat “in common use” as what’s commercially permitted instead of what’s deployed with, he’s right.

You and I can’t have those either, because they’re not “in common use.”
As long as we allow that to be defined by what’s popular for “self-defense” and sport as opposed to arms that soldiers bear, we’re giving the prohibitionists an out to screw us.

“If courts continue to operate under the misimpression that the right to keep and bear arms protects only neutered firearms like break-barrel shotguns and bolt-action hunting rifles, the Second Amendment will offer little but a parchment barrier against tyranny,” the GOA petition correctly observes.

It’s a necesary legal hurdle to clear if gun owners ever hope to challenge the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act.
GOA Petition to SCOTUS for Writ of Certiorari Against Illinois Categorical Ban on AR-15s… Friends of The Captain’s Journal Stephen Stamboulieh and Oliver Krawczyk wrote this brief, along with Rob Olson. A better constructed and more direct and honest one you will never find. [More]
This covers some essential points that can’t be raised enough. I intend to write an article soon explaining why.
It would help if he didn’t automatically buy into prohibitionist propaganda, but by doing so he relieves us of the obligation to take him as an impartial and objective observer. [More]
Why is there such a difference in the numbers and rates of violent crimes betweeen two armed cultures? Hint: It ain’t because of “gun control” laws.
“Understand that if active duty military actually get deployed within the United States, that weapon is not just going to be pointed at other people, other countries, it’s pointed at you.” [More]
And those will be real “weapons of war.”
Noting the differences in sheer numbers and the impossibility of containing them, I’d say there’s a meme in there somewhere, but I’m actually more concerned with how China and Russia would be taking advantage of Democrat-initiated hostilities, with no small amount of reliance on another group that outnumbers the military.

The issue as far as Raskin and Markey’s latest affront to liberty goes, is that nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government delegated authority to ban paramilitary activities. They are usurping power – or trying to. And though Raskin cites authority including the Supreme Court’s admission in Heller “that the Second Amendment ‘does not prevent the prohibition of private paramilitary organizations,’” it would be interesting to see how that would hold up against the more recent Bruen standard of the understanding at the time of the Founding. Especially noting historical examples like Allen, or more to the point, Capt. John Parker at Lexington Green… [More]
“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for few public officials,” George Mason asked and answered. Curious, how public officials are bent on destroying that…

Some of us have been saying that for a while, and wondering when the “gun rights groups” are going to give it some of the attention they devote exclusively to “self-defense.”
I have another Firearms News article coming out soon on efforts to ban “private paramilitary” activities.

What is it Red Jamie and Ed Marxey want us to do?
I wrote an article on the bill for Firearms News over the weekend and expect it will be out before too long.

I’m thinking there are easier and more populated targets than Butler County, but good for him.
Now let’s see him offer to train a citizens auxiliary.
The “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” is being introduced by Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts, and Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, both Democrats. [More]
Both traitors…
Boy, Tess Owen of Vice really buys into their subversive crap, right down to calling Oath Keepers a “militia” and hyperventilating over the unarmed J6 protestors…
Here’s the proposed abomination.
It’s not showing up on GovTrack yet to show a 2% chance of passing…

Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf is offering a “militia course” to residents, according to a Friday Facebook post. The constitutionalist sheriff posted a graphic for enrollment to “learn a militiaman’s duty” for “potential jurors, homeschoolers, ladies & gentlemen.” [More]
No doubt TPTB are loooking for ways to infiltrate, smear, and destroy him.

So will the citizen militia get them when available here, or will “in common use” screw us out of them?
And what if there’s a strategic reason tinfoil hats are ridiculed?
As the NRA fades, a more zealous US pro-gun group rises as a lobbying power [More]
Well, that’s what happens when you keep pushing.
Look now for the violence monopolists to try and destroy GOA leaders.
They’re probably too stupid to realize that will just motivate even more zealous gun owners.

Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Wynn A:
The sentiment of gun owners seems to be if it isn’t ‘registered’ the powers that be don’t know about it. Fools errand. As witnessed with Katrina the goons will go door to door and forcibly search all buildings. The citizens of New Orleans went along with this outlandish conduct. Will today’s Americans do the same?
By the time they’re at your door, it’s too late.
Depending on the area, I have a feeling that if this starts in any significant numbers, many confiscators will end up more concerned about what’s coming to their door.
More to the point, what is the mental state of some ignorant Marxist hoplophobe who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment and thinks Americans who do will allow themselves to be disarmed?

So who are they going to get to confiscate the rifle behind every blade of grass?
