Notes from the Resistance

Because what was in common use in the past is not what is in common use today, nor what will be in common use tomorrow. At least by the military and by law enforcement. [More]
Withhold technological developments from We the People based on “common use” and at what point in the future does planned obsolescence kick in? Also, as an aside, I don’t know why the editors replaced my photo with one that’s irrelevant to the topic and the caption I wrote.
Governments that started as a vision of Freedom, equality, justice and prosperity that grew tyrannical, genocidal and evil. There is nothing in our Constitution that seems to be preventing that from happening again. [More]
That’s why the totalitarians are so desperate to destroy it.

Employer is a US-based private security company seeking multiple Evacuation / Extraction Team Agents to conduct evacuation missions of individuals and families who are currently located in Sudan. Only highly experienced candidates who possess at least 5+ years of military experience in this region of Africa will be considered for this role – no exceptions. Preferred candidates are already located in Sudan or a bordering country. Non-competitive candidates will simply not be considered or contacted. [More]
So they don’t have to comply with diversity, equity, and inclusion rules…?
Next thing you’ll be telling me they don’t train with empathy bellies…

UPDATE
It’s not like we need to worry about Sudanese biologicals with our “rigorous” border controls…
Second Amendment Still About Armed Self-Defense, as These 11 Examples of Defensive Gun Use Show [More]
Not exclusively, Amy Swearer, and deliberately ignoring the core purpose in the first 13 words leaves it vulnerable to all kinds of infringements.

Review: The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900 [More]
In short, if the grabbers are looking for something from the Founding Era to support “historical context” to justify an “assault weapon” ban, they’re not going to find it.
It figures that the lame argument that no one considered the Second Amendment to be an individual right until recently proves to be the exact opposite of the truth. That’s because all the citizen disarmament zealots have are lies.
Would the United States be able to resist an armed force sent in by the United Nations (UN)? [More]
These foreign troops might pose a more immediate concern.

McCaul: We Can’t Make Weapons Fast Enough ‘to Protect the United States or our Allies’ and Don’t Have Deterrence in Taiwan [More]
Well, with Democrats doing their best to disarm those recognized by the Founders as “being necessary to the security of a free State,” you gotta wonder how much of the treason is intentional as opposed to just ignorant.
As for Taiwan, let ’em arm and train their own citizens. I’m not willing to go die for suicidal tyranny lite and can’t very well expect any other American to.

Thousands of militiamen from around New England left their farms, descended on Boston and launched an 11-month siege of their own port city. [More]
I wonder how many “laws” they’d be breaking if they tried that today.

THIS BILL COULD PUT YOU IN PRISON [More]
If you think about it, they all could.
It’s an old Stalinist strategy his ideological heirs intend to apply with full force.
UPDATE
And to channel my inner ShamWow pitchman, “But wait! There’s MORE!“

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in a federal lawsuit challenging the prohibition of handgun sales to young adults have filed an appellant’s brief with the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. The case is known as Reese v. ATF. [More]
I dunno… let ’em have guns and pretty soon they could be winning medals…
Pentagon announces largest-ever defense budget request [More]
Funny– Congress never spends even one penny on “organizing, arming, and disciplining, the Militia, and for governing such Part of them as may be employed in the Service of the United States.” And none of those “staunch supporters of the Second Amendment” are demanding it.
Seeing as how the authors of the Constitution they all swore an oath to uphold viewed it as “being necessary to the security of a free State,” Why do you suppose that is?
The Idaho Senate on Monday cleared a bill that would repeal a longstanding state law prohibiting private militias and paramilitary organizations. [More]
The Framers were well aware of the contribution Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys made to Liberty, which means laws against them would not pass … uh … muster.
