Notes from the Resistance
Pinellas County, Florida Sheriff Bob Gualtieri in testifying for SB 150 * stated, “I’m a staunch opponent of open carry. We don’t need open carry in Florida. I don’t think that it serves a good purpose for Florida.” [More]
Because then they’d be able to do what WE do…?
That’s a pretty big “but” you’ve got there, sheriff…
NY 2A Defendant Admits to US Federal Appeals Court that New Gun Law Violates 2A [More]
And he didn’t fall on his knees and beg forgiveness?
UPDATE
I just got the related alert from SAF. It’s not on their News page at this posting, so I copied and pasted the email on my Placeholder site.
Seems the DA didn’t want to be left hanging on defending the indefensible.
Old Racist Gun Laws Enter Modern-Day Legal Battles – Government lawyers reluctantly cite historical laws that kept guns from Blacks, Native Americans and Catholics [More]
The only reluctance is in being exposed for what they are. That and admitting that over the citizens they really want to disarm, the Founders intended for them to be powerless to infringe.

Where Can You Carry a Gun? Whiplash Court Rulings Create Confusion. [More]
Where can criminals carry guns?
The ruling is major for many reasons, including that the government tried to claim that charter boat fishing is a “closely-regulated industry” to which the Fourth Amendment does not apply. [More]
Ah, the Scarborough Doctrine of authorized free speech exercisers…
And don’t forget Hogg’s Resurrected Postulate…

Unelected ATF just made a new “law” that turns 40M law-abiding gun owners into felons for owning a pistol brace. Latest example of the bureaucratic state making laws undermining our freedom and democracy. This must stop. [Watch]
Fine and good, Tulsi. Well stated and much is correct, but”gun rights” proponents need to stop asserting Congress is the body that should be able to ban guns. There’s no delegated power that negates “shall not be infringed.”

“You can say you back the blue but if you don’t back gun control and gun availability, you don’t back the blue.” [More]
Jim Kenney said it, I believe it, that settles it.
And this is why I never say that and challenge those who do.

The Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in the case of Miller v. Bonta, challenging California’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” have filed a responding brief in the case, countering defense arguments and strategies already rejected by federal courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. [More]
California knows that, of course. Anything to impede.
“After reading about the history of the second amend and talking with a lot of hist & law professors- I believe the second amendment has been intentionally misinterpreted. It was never meant as an individual right it was created to protect state militias like the national guard.” [More]
What did he read and who did he talk to?
Is there anything more endearing than ignorance presented with arrogance? Now that he’s achieved Constitutional godhead, maybe he can produce the evidence ACLU failed to back before he was born…?

New ways for swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their substance…
Everybody knows the clause in the Constitution that delegates and authorizes these powers, don’t you?
Anybody…?
The Second Amendment Foundation today filed an amended federal complaint challenging the Biden administration’s new “Arm Brace Rule,” accusing the government of violating the Administrative Procedures Act, the Second Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. [More]
And the damning thing is, the government knows it’s violating all of those things.
And based on supporting candidates like party switch-hitter Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, Tom Ridge, and Brian Fitzpatrick, a critical mass of Pennsylvania Republicans is demonstrably willing to throw gun owners under the bus in exchange for the false promise of “less government.” They’re the useful idiot “bourgeoisie” the Democratic Socialists are counting on being asleep. This also explains why disarming them is such a priority. [More]
With “Republicans” like Fitzpatrick, who needs Democrats?
Senate Bill 41 containing both repeal of our archaic Jim Crow-era pistol purchase permit law and the provision to allow concealed carry in churches which sponsor schools passed the NC Senate today by an overwhelming margin of 29-19. [More]
Now is no time to relax the pressure. In the words of Yogi Berra, it ain’t over ’til it’s over.
Anthony McRae, the gunman who killed three people and wounded five others at Michigan State University on Monday, was arrested in June 2019 and charged with illegally carrying a concealed handgun without a permit. [More]
This is where I depart from all the “gun rights defenders” thinking that should have been enough to keep him in jail. They believe in the Second Amendment but…?
Enforce existing Intolerable Acts?

Judge Calls Second Amendment Protection Laws Racist and Anti-Semitic [More]
I’m going to write something up but just wanted to get this out there for now.
Ohioans in danger may soon be able to text 911 [More]
I guess, but the same problems of police being minutes away when seconds count and having no duty to protect will still apply. Plus, by the time most victims enter a PIN, pull up the text app and try to type out an intelligible message with shaking thumbs, the danger may be passed — for the attacker, who may be happy for the free phone.
Besides, I never did much subscribe to the “Only Ones” being the only ones, and plan on having my hands full.
Maybe if co-sponsor State Rep. Kent Smith spent less time abetting the undermining of his constituents’ rights and more time protecting and advancing them, the need for such calls would fall dramatically.
