Notes from the Resistance
Firearms News will be exploring where these contenders stand on the Second Amendment, in both a separate analysis documenting actions, positions, and statements, and via a questionnaire, the subject of this article, designed to produce unequivocal answers. [More]
Finding out who shines us on, who sends us boilerplate, and who is not afraid to lead on the Second Amendment, could be useful to know for the primaries.
Several Republicans are still holding out against Jordan’s bid. The House Judiciary Committee chairman can only afford to lose four conference members due to House Republicans’ slim majority. Those who stand in opposition include Reps. Don Bacon (R-NE), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Mike Kelly (R-PA), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Victoria Spartz (R-IN), Freedom Caucus member Ken Buck (R-CO), and John Rutherford (R-FL).

They prefer Hakeem Jeffries’ strategy…?
Former Dodgers star Steve Garvey jumps into the California Senate race as a Republican [More]
He’s got plenty of “I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you” happy-talk platitudes, but where does he stand on anything? And have California Republicans learned anything from the last time they backed celebrity over principle?
At least we know Garvey’s got the screw constituents and duck the fallout part down…
This guy’s got more shady baggage than Sam Brinton…
Laphonza Butler Removes ‘Maryland’ as Residence After Newsom Appointment as California Senator [More]
And here I was hoping for someone from across the Pond…

H.R. 5767: To prohibit any State that suspends open or concealed firearm carry licenses from receiving Federal financial assistance. [More]
Here’s all you need to know:
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
This kind of pandering to the base to score political points actually does harm, as it distracts attention from more achievable priorities we should be paying attention to/sharing.

“We already know the President took bribes from Burisma. I also want to add, betraying your country is treason.” [More]
They’re going after Trump with scorched earth lawfare backed by the might of states in collusion with the feds.
You can’t counter that with committee meetings the DSM either ignores and/or misrepresents/condemns.

Today, Congressman Cloud led a group of 29 Republicans in reintroducing, “The Protecting the Right To Keep and Bear Arms Act,” which would prevent President Biden and the Department of Health and Human Services from using public health emergencies to implement unconstitutional gun control. [More]
Yeah, well, “1% chance of being enacted,” so all the breathlessness over this attention-seeker of a bill is sucking oxygen away from priorities.
Holding out the promise of red meat when none is available is the oldest Republican trick in the book. They just never seem to press all that hard when they’re in a position to actually make something happen.

No wonder the power predator mantra is “Our democracy.”

An Armed New York: the New York Young Republican Club Stands for the 2nd Amendment [More]
You guys are going to have to do more than “wishing” and teaching your members how to comply with infringements.
And before virtue signaling “Legal immigration is beneficial to America,” you might want to check the numbers on how they vote, because 60% Democrat to 15% Republican sure doesn’t sound that way.

She took from “needy families” and “the poor”…the same ones she’s counting on slick-talking into voting for her again. [More]
Stupid Baltimore voters continue to impose the kind of government they deserve on everybody else.
This posted when I’d already left for Texas, so I’m just getting to it now. I’ve got a ton of work to do to play catch-up on article commitments, so that will take priority over blogging here until I can clear the decks.
That means there will be story tips I can’t get to.
Kentucky Democrat Gov. Beshear dodges when asked if he’ll appoint Republican]should McConnell step down [More]
Democrats do it with Feinstein and Fetterman, and they’ve got nothing to lose.
Admittedly, though, keeping a walker that bites you has its drawbacks.
GOP presidential candidate calls for stronger gun background checks
Former GOP Rep. Will Hurd said fellow Republicans are worried about the political ramifications if they support gun control measures [More]
I guess “former” and “political ramifications” don’t register with this dolt. He didn’t qualify for the debate so he’s gotta get attention somehow.
Figures he had an “A”-rating from NRA.

Biden Admin’s Voter Drive For Newly Naturalized Citizens Is Just Another Act Of Federal Election Interference [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Supporters of the National Socialist Movement, a white nationalist political group, give Nazi salutes while taking part in a swastika burning at an undisclosed location in Georgia… [More]
If they’re such a threat to where the entire federal “law” imposement apparatus is out there conflating “white supremacists” with “conservatives,” gun owners, Christians, Republicans and especially Constitutionalists, why don’t they have more recent photos that 2018 of under a dozen people…?
Besides, “socialists” are creatures of the left, as are racists, which if you think about it for a second, is collectivism.
As were the OG Nazis, no matter how much lying “progressives” and their commie partners want to disavow.
What could be the motive of those in power for smearing citizens who believe in freedom for all and who know the right to keep and bear arms is the greatest power sharing arrangement ever devised, as monsters to be destroyed?
It is not clear what crimes were traced to guns sold through Mr. Clyde’s stores, or whether his businesses have been cited for violations that could be used to revoke their licenses. [More]
But we’re going to smear him anyway and leave an impression of corruption, crime, and conflict of interest because that’s what serves our purposes.

Thank you @GovTimWalz for making Minnesota a safer place to live due to new gun sense laws including ERPO and background checks on all gun purchases. It was an honor to present you with the @Everytown Lawmaker of the Year Award. You kept your promise. @MomsDemand #mnleg [More]
I don’t suppose NRA would be willing to release answers to the questionnaire this lying piece of steaming political excrement returned to get their endorsement…?
Let’s see if this is allowed to stay up— and if it is, what kind of indignant rage it will yield…
I said what I said [More]
Spoken like someone who has never created a penny’s worth of wealth… Leave it to a career snout in the public trough to say government will pay for everything!
Constituents in Pennsylvania’s 2nd Congressional District are doubtless bigoted, self-entitled, and dumb enough to vote for him over any Republican.
Funny, for someone who presumes to represent “workers”…

Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., predicted that former President Donald Trump would lose the 2024 general election against President Biden and urged Trump to drop out of the race. Cassidy made the comments during a Sunday appearance on CNN and added that he thinks any other candidate in the Republican primary field is better suited to defeat Biden. [More]
Siding with the swamp again, I see…
This is what an “A+” rating gets you.
I’d ask where the Republican Party finds such treasonous, self-defeating morons were he the exception instead of the rule.
The inevitable 2024 GOP nominee – Donald Trump – is being indicted for the fourth time and the only thing the head of the Republican Party had to say today was announcing a GOTV effort to beat Joe Biden in….California [More]
Democrats love how stupid these people are.
Oakland officials not only don’t have a plan to fix anything but what they’re doing can only make things worse. [More]
What we have here are useful idiots who don’t have a clue being manipulated by power interests who know exactly what they’re doing.
Guy’s creating a lot of buzz. [More]
Not to pick nits, but with his words reserved for the southern border, where does he stand on current legal immigration laws?
You know, the ones enabled by cheap labor Republicans that made this possible…

With all precincts reporting, and 58,000 absentee and provisional ballots outstanding, the measure was failing by a margin of 57.01% to 42.99%. [More]
Down in flames. But it does show that a 60% threshold would have kept the tyranny of the majority at bay, at least for now.
I felt this was going to lose bigly just based on observable yard sign saturation, and was also disappointed in the outreach efforts of the “Yes on 1” campaign. This was a statewide campaign and only had “782 likes • 1K followers” on Facebook and “687 Followers” on Twit…uh…X.
Anyone who think this was just about abortion is wearing blinders.
Ah, well, if Democrats want to cull their next generation of voters…
