Notes from the Resistance
Following its amicus brief in support of us, the federal government has asked the Seventh Circuit for approval to participate in oral arguments in our lawsuit challenging Illinois’ “assault weapon” and magazine bans [More]
How could they refuse? After all, “Currently, six of the court’s judges were appointed by Republicans and five by Democrats.”
Yeah, but one of those “Republicans” is treasonous dotard Frank Easterbrook…

So… a new category of “Only Ones“…?
That’s not a FASTER requirement, and the program’s been working great.
It’s not a 2A requirement, either.
I gotta get this serial administration cheerleader some pom poms.

Fortunately, there’s a Constitutional alternative:

If at first you don’t succeed…
Unfortunately:
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted

A Delaware state court struck down the state’s ban on firearms ownership for adults between the ages of 18 and 21, citing the obvious conclusion that such a ban is unconstitutional, just as it would be for any other enumerated right. However, the opinion is wrought with other areas of concern that show the court’s hostility towards Second Amendment rights. [More]

The Commission should support this effort by rooting out and helping to remedy any activities by the Biden-era FTC that may have improperly aligned the agency with anti-Second Amendment non-governmental organizations (“NGOs”) or otherwise infringed upon Second Amendment rights. [More]
I’m all over Larry Keane and NSSF when they suck up to tyranny, so I gotta give them credit when they do good.
The FTC commissioners are all Republicans, so there’s no excuse for them not taking a leadership position in protecting firearms commerce.
So why haven’t they already declared new policy? Why do they have to be publicly prodded?

By all means, educate me on their leadership:

As I’ve acknowledged before to those who deny my immigration stance without taking my challenge:
Of course, there are good immigrants and they don’t all lean Democrat. Hell, there are some great immigrants, people I strive to be worthy of knowing. There just aren’t enough of them overall to offset the tide of Third World huddled masses yearning to breathe free stuff. That’s because the vote-exploiting Democrats and labor-exploiting Republicans have not made the ability to assimilate to a Bill of Rights culture a priority. They haven’t even made it a consideration. And if you tried to make Constitutionally-compatible ideology a precondition to admittance, an activist federal judge would loudly strike it down — even though any government action that does not “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity” would rightfully and clearly be condemned by the Founders as illegitimate.
Valentian Gomez appears to be one of those to be embraced.

It’s always been about taking the guns.
