Notes from the Resistance
This is where citizens could really use some of those pledges of Second Amendment protection we heard along the campaign trail from Donald Trump, and from every Republican in Congress who won their seat because of gun owner support. [More]
The new administration, through orders to subordinates, and the Republican-controlled Congress, with the power to subpoena and investigate, could do much to stop citizen abuse — if they want to.
The new guy needs to understand all this and have the AG and the president‘s ear to make sure they do, and to restrain their past-demonstrated impulses to ignore the words “shall not be infringed.” [More]
My latest Firearms News article assesses the best we can make out of a no-win scenario.
Rep. Rich Lascelles (R-Litchfield), who we’ve trusted to stand with us, has co-sponsored this bill. Imagine the shock and betrayal – a representative who should be our advocate in the legislature is instead supporting legislation that could lead to the unjust confiscation of firearms from law-abiding citizens. This isn’t just about policy; it’s about the very principles of freedom and justice our nation was built upon. [More]
He doesn’t seem to be on X.com or Facebook to ratio his idiotic treachery, so if you want to tell him what you think about this, you’ll need to mail, email, or call him.
UPDATE: Looks like he pulled it before I posted this. Somebody talk to this guy and explain how things work.
INSANE: BIDEN DOJ MAKES CRAZY ARGUMENTS TO DEFEND POST OFFICE GUN BAN [Watch]
Among other things, like disinformation and actual fascism, we talked about the Statute of Northampton here.
Boy, that’s a lot of “Gun-Free Zones”! Now superimpose it over maps of schoools, parks, government buildings, “sensitive areas”…
Welcome to the Land of the Second Amendment!

“We have a lot of things that are legal, but is it the right thing to do? We have to rise above that. And sometimes it requires an evolution of our thinking. What was written in 1789 may not be appropriate for 2022 unless we’re okay with kids being killed.” [More]
So, after Obama’s “What works in Chicago may not work in Cheyenne” pronouncement, the totalitarians now claim control of all space-time. As if it works in Chicago…
Still, I have some questions for this jackass:
And to those who feel this is too dangerous, that it is uncalled for, that it is unneeded because we have the vote, or the right to speak, that we have evolved beyond such crude reminders of our barbaric past, I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?
This badged stooge will work out great in Seattle.

Did someone finally ask people who know what they’re talking about?

Kansas gets an F in gun legislation, national report says [More]
So, how many of the killers of those 500 people were inclined to obey existing laws, and which proposed new ones would have made them reconsider?
What a fraudulent scam every single damn one of these treasonous gun grab groups is. So nice one-sided PR piece masked as “news,” Kansas Reflector…

A coalition of gun-rights groups is arguing that a federal appeals court should overturn a conviction of a Billings man who appeared to be menacing an elementary school from across the street as he walked around his property, often with gun in hand. [More]
“Appeared to be” is very different from “was,” and the case could be made that hoplophobic snitches should not be the arbiters.
Once this is over, it would be interesting to see everything it took to get ATF’s Dustin Stroble to insert his snout into this. It appears Metcalf initiating contact with the FBI broke a cardinal rule.

In 2025, several new gun laws will go into effect in California. [More]
More attacks on RKBA, due process, self-incrimination protections, and privacy rights, while dragooning dealers into spreading the state’s terms of surrender…
You’ve got to scroll down to find them. The “real reporter” figured we needed to hear Kamala and Joe prove they’re cluelsss how the election went and demand more infringements on everybody first because of Madison.
Question about Sec. 34210: Do you see anything in there prohibiting dealers from putting a stamp on the pamphlet warning customers it’s state-mandated bull$h!+? I guess if they wanna stay open, because the vindictive bastards don’t neeed laws to persecute…

Cain’s bill establishes consequences for falsely accusing another person of being a threat. If the bill passes, state and local entities would be barred from enacting red flag laws unless they are “expressly authorized by Texas law.” HB 162 would establish that federal regulations are unenforceable if they do not protect the accused’s due process rights. Further, persons “who serve or attempt to serve a red flag order within Texas unless the order was issued under Texas law” would be subject to imprisonment. [More]
False reports should be self-incriminating.
So should enforcement and prosecution attempts that deny due process.

President Trump has a tool to push for the passage of legislation, such as the hearing protection act. The executive branch, specifically the Secretary of the Treasury, can unilaterally declare an amnesty for people to register NFA items with the ATF. [More]
Wouldn’t that imply they’d done something wrong and that citizens should obey tyrannical claims on their rights…?
Yeah, of course I know the alternative.
Some of us have considered that before charting our own course.
I like Dean, he does a lot of valuable stuff and I’m sure he’s doing his best to let us know about something that could keep us out of trouble. I guess I’m just surprised to see this on JPFO.
THE KNOX REPORT: Project 2025, The Second Amendment Edition [More]
Some of it can happen, others are problematic, especially with “Republicans” like Brian Fitgzpatrick and Susan Collins.
This is the first I’m hearing of the “Green G” system and I’m intrigued. I’m not clear on how BIDS would violate privacy any more than that, especially since a check wouldn’t be run unless the person asked for it and it would create no record of the gun purchased– and there lies the rub. The intent of the fraudulent prior restraint infringement is much more than a mere “background check,” and tyrants won’t give up that kind of power without a credible “or else” attached to it.
The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]
The state that inflicted Joe Biden onto the political scene says banning semiautomatic rifles and magazines doesn’t infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
Mark W. Smith ties it in with related cases SCOTUS is considering. And I continue to be suspicious of relying on “common use.”

While the lawsuit was only brought by New Jersey and Minnesota, the “larger coalition that will be working together includes 16 states in total,” the New Jersey Attorney General’s Office said to Newsweek. These states are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont, as well as Washington, D.C. [More]
As long as the Supreme Court lets them get away with infringements, it will only get worse.
Until the Justice Department steps up and defends all civil rights from state denials, the only “legal” defense will be what the gun groups can scrape up from the same overburdened donors. I’m afraid Pam Bondi has established a record of being more the type that defends employer infringements. My guess is Trump is more interested in what she can do to squash bugs like Bragg.

The unfortunate CEO is a bellwether of what’s coming if Marxist citizen disarmers have their way. Elizabeth Warren and fellow gun prohibitionists are clearing that way. [More]
What’s the difference between mainstream Massachussetts Democrats and in-your-face Marxists?
Asking for a friend?
“Led by Dustin Burrows, these representatives are now negotiating with Democrats to install a Speaker who would undermine the conservative agenda. This is an unacceptable betrayal of our party and our values.” [More]
He appears to be a lip service Republican on 2A.

By persuading the public that non-citizens, particularly illegal immigrants, do not enjoy the same inalienable rights as law-abiding citizens (a fact refuted by the Constitution and every credible legal scholar in the country), the Deep State is leading us down a road in which all rights are transitory. [More]
True, but by getting us to chase a red herring they don’t have to worry about the answer.

Pretty good write-up.
I’d argue with the “75% of firearms confiscated in Mexico originate from the U.S.” claim…

The case of Snope v. Brown has been distributed for the Supreme Court’s conference for December 13. Previously styled Bianchi v. Brown, the cert petition challenges Maryland’s “assault weapon” prohibition which the Fourth Circuit upheld en banc earlier this year… Now for a deeper dive. [More]
Stephen Halbrook confirms, among other things, what a f-ing idiot “Reagan Republican” Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III is.

Arizona Department Of Health Calls For Removal Of Guns From Family Homes [More]
Because there’s no difference between your and my homes and those lived in by morons, reprobates, generational welfare parasites, drug abusers, and criminals…
I wonder how many more children would die in no-knock enforcement raids against those who will not surrender their rights, or home invasions by private criminals of those who complied. Not factoring that in should get Mary Ellen Rimza delicensed for malpractice.
We know where the buck stops for this tyrannical and asinine opinion.
Arizona Democrats voted for it.
Go the the AAR website to listen/watch/find a station near you.
Personally Made Firearm Lawsuit Update [More]
As noted here, after he’s inaugurated, we need to press Trump on having DOJ defend 2A the same way it would against other civil rights violations.
Once more high population areas full of Democrat government addicts prove how stupid and self-entitled they are and **** everything up for the rest of us by voting in communist hags.

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday reversed course and selected David Warrington as his top White House lawyer… [More]
He’s Chairman of the Board for the National Foundation for Gun Rights.
Let’s hope he’s the needed counterweight to Pam Bondi’s inclination to defend infringements.
[Via Jess]
But the Second Amendment isn’t an inkblot on the Constitution. It means something. Can that possibly not include a right to own the gun that claims to be America’s bestselling rifle? [More]
Is it an arm?
Then the right of the people to keep and bear it shall not be infringed.
Anyone who says otherwise is just a liar.
[Via Jess]
The Supreme Court has rejected a challenge to Hawaii’s gun-licensing law, though three justices expressed a willingness to hear arguments over the issue later [More]
With “shall not be infringed” being the metric, that this is even an allowed to be an issue is one of the greatest frauds of our time.
So, if the FBI and DOJ don’t have authority to do ammunition checks, where do they get authority to allow New York State to use NICS for that purpose? [More]
Made possible by GOP Quislings, so will Republicans do anything to clean up their mess after they assume power in January?
