Notes from the Resistance
Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith informed the Board of Supervisors in this one-line letter that she was leaving office effective Monday. [More]
Maybe if she goes quietly no one will ask any questions about “underrepresentation.”
Too bad. The “real reporters” could have had an “EXCLUSIVE” worth putting in all caps.

ATF, Enforcer of Gun Laws, Lost ‘Thousands of Firearms, Firearm Parts’ to Thieves [More]
What would they do to an FFL who “lost” guns?

Nearly a dozen guns taken off Austin streets in Gun Surrender Program [More]
That’s pathetic when you can’t just say “11” and have to blow it up by one.
Nice of the moronic “Only Ones” functionary to admit “buybacks don’t work.”
Besides, “surrender” makes them sound so much more awe-inspiring. And it’s closer to what government has in mind anyway.

Permitless carry laws raise new dilemmas for police officers [More]
You want to talk about dilemmas, how about oath-breaking armed enforcers for violence monopolists ready to kidnap or kill citizens for simply exercising their rights?

BREAKING: Philly deputy sheriff caught selling guns used in school shooting to illegal immigrant [More]
And it’s all due to Republican racism, right, Larry?

D.C. won’t give 3 Black men concealed-carry licenses. They’re suing. [More]
The mayor and police chief must be real rac… uh, no, they can’t be because they don’t have pow… wait a minute, yes they do…

St. Louis school shooter may have used gun that police confiscated months ago… Officers removed the gun from the home and gave it to a unnamed adult, he said. [More]
Flesh out how they completed the transfer.
UPDATE
The family “worked with our department to transfer that to an adult who could legally possess one,” Sack said. The firearm was ultimately transferred to a third party known to the family. [More]
OK, so can we expect an arrest?
And should we title this “Another Red Flag Success”?

Sailor convicted for selling illegal machine guns in Virginia… As a master at arms, he served in the Navy’s law enforcement community… [More]
So he wasn’t “just” a sailor. He was a Naval “Only One.”
I wonder who the snitch is, and if the feds had something on him or if he decided things all on his own.
I also wonder if his lawyer knew about NFRTR “reliability” issues…?

The 30-year-old man charged with capital murder in the fatal shooting of two Dallas hospital employees was on parole and had been given permission to be at the medical facility for the birth of a child, a Texas prison official said [More]
Brought to you by government!
Dare I ask about young Nestor’s “legal” status without fear of being pegged as a xenophobe?

Race-Baiting Celebrity J6 Cop Once Involved in Race-Related Lawsuit – It’s long past time for a mainstream journalist or cable news talking head—those responsible for elevating Michael Fanone to hero/martyr status—to ask him about Michael Maddox. [More]
Anybody know if he’s still doing book tours? That seems like a good way to get questions and answers on-camera…

3 murder verdicts vacated in case investigated by killer cop [More]
Yet who were the juries conditioned to believe?
New Orleans, eh?
Y’know, murderers and perjurers really make the ones who only steal wages look bad.
This is the same department that used Katrina as an excuse to disarm citizens while they went AWOL and looted.

They say two instructors were doing a demonstration and one shot the other in the chest. [More]
I find it instructive that their first reaction was to run over “to the civilian side of the range.”

Woman accused of using bees to attack sheriff’s deputies during Longmeadow eviction [Watch]
She was charged with “…four counts of assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon…”? So that makes them assault bees?
People have been known to go into anaphylactic shock and die from bee stings, so between that and bystanders getting stung, and her saying it was “good” if people were allergic, she deserves to go down hard.
My money says she’s a Bernie supporter.

California sheriff forced to disclose names of concealed carry holders to media [More]
I wonder if anyone is going to check to see if minorities are underrepresented in “progressive” California…
