Notes from the Resistance
During the Illinois State Police’s firearm enforcement blitz this summer, 295 people in southern Illinois were brought into compliance with Illinois gun laws. [More]
A blitzkrieg. How appropriate.
Disarmed by the latest confiscation made possible by FOID? No worries, ISP says you can always put your fingers down your throat and vomit!
Good thing for them they don’t have to try to get the guns from all those people who didn’t fill out no damn cards!

Fact Check-Photos do not show IRS recruiting or training program for thousands of new armed agents [More]
What’s that saying about assumptions? I know I kneejerk made them.
As objectionable as the reality still is, it’s important for us to be precise.
That said, let’s look at the ones who aren’t accounting students on a day trip:

But demanding everybody be disarmed so they’re not “needed” is sane…
Guttenberg, of course, was one of the panelists for the kinder, gentler citizen disarmament deception.

The Break Down of The First Known ATF FRT Confiscation [More]
I continue to shake my head at the number of gun owners who don’t grok the basics. And I’m not surprised that they rolled on the next guy.
That said, I don’t think it’s fair to judge ATF Special Agent Chuck Donahoe until you’ve goose-stepped a mile in his jackboots.

Together they created Richmond’s first drive-thru gun buyback program where people drove up with their unloaded guns in their trunks for officials to evaluate. [More]
If people like widows who know nothing about guns want to participate, how do they safely determine they’re unloaded? And as for the contention that “research into whether the efforts led to a reduction in gun violence remains unclear,” how many more decades and thousands of events need to be observed and analyzed before we have a testable hypothesis? And before proponents can honestly claim “success,” huge or otherwise?
On top of everything else, it appears you and I paid for it.

Louisiana Sheriff Loses Tax Lawsuit Targeting Smith Angus Farm [More]
I see the sheriff bills himself as a “Republican”… I guess he stuck a wet finger in the air to see which way the wind was blowing, but at heart, we know what he’ll always be.
And he’s done one other thing that may be actionable:
Washington Parish Sheriff’s Office limited who can comment on this post.
How is that not a First Amendment violation?

…Johnson was appealing to the people the government has painted as terrorists and they without hesitation went to help him to help get the officers out. He didn’t fear appealing to those guys. That sort of blows up a lot of the narrative that has been pitched against the Oathkeepers. [More]
Has anyone called on him to testify under oath?

Months after deputies raided police department, missing money suddenly found in evidence room [More]
Now, now. I’m sure there’s a logical explanation for this. After all, based on “gun-free zone” and other exemptions, they are deemed more trustworthy to have a gun than you and I.
And remember, “Back the Green!”

What else do we expect with a career Democrat stooge “running” things?
That is one unimpressive CV.

A former Clay County Sheriff’s Department Deputy was arrested Wednesday following accusations of using another individual’s identity on social media. [More]
I’d love to know what they mean by “derogatory comments.”
With that felony charge, it looks like he’ll be going to more than Facebook Jail…
Longtime WarOnGuns Correspondent Dave Licht has a message for gun manufacturers and he’s inviting everyone who agrees with him to join in amplifying it. [More]

Sorry, I do typos too. It just struck me as funny. [More]
It also strikes me that an “A” grade from Giffords is no indication of what someone who wants to ignore their infringements can do.

Broad carry rights probably make states safer, but to the extent there is some hesitancy to draw the conclusion absolutely, such laws certainly have some deterrent effects with no proven increase of violence. [More]
This is kind of like a “For a fat girl you don’t sweat much” compliment, but since these guys are “Only Ones,” consider it a win.
