Notes from the Resistance
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul appealed to the 5th District Appellate Court in Mount Vernon Monday to overturn a temporary restraining order against the Protect Illinois Communities Act, which bans dozens of handguns and rifles, .50-caliber guns, certain attachments and accessories, and limits cartridges to 10 rounds for long guns and 15 rounds for pistols.

On the plus side, it’ll end up heading to the Bruen court…

KILLING THE NFA: The Real World 2nd Amendment Strategy for ATTACKING the NFA [Watch]
Incrementalism. We get it. That’s the correct legal strategy.
But here’s one thing proponents of reverse incrementalism, and in fact, none of the “gun groups” will even acknowledge, let alone seriously address:
What if the clock runs out because the courts have all been taken over by politically unchallengeable majority appointments?
What does anyone with eyes think the enemy has been busy setting up?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority.

Here’s the bill, that supposedly has no chance of passing the Republican house.
Let’s have a Beslan redux here and we’ll see about that.

I do not think it will help the right to keep and bear arms for the Supreme Court to take up the bumpstock issue, because… [More]
Why do so many think it’s about bump stocks?
In his decision on Friday, Fairfield County Common Pleas Judge Richard E. Berens wrote that based on four legal standards, he found it unlikely that the state would be able to prevail in the case. [More]
“Shall not be infringed” and a preemption law passed by the representatives of the people aren’t legal standards?

CCDL RESPONDS TO GOVERNOR LAMONT’S LATEST ROUND OF ANTI-GUN PROPOSALS [More]
An open carry ban and purchase limits — just like the Founders intended.
And no, of course that’s not all the tyrant demands.
Interesting, who these control freaks presume the law is supposed to protect…
When will in-your-face defiance of a coequal branch of government and suppression of unalienable rights be properly considered the insurrectionary seditious conspiracy that it is?
Mark Smith breaks down how he would likely argue the 2nd Amendment case against these regulations converting handguns with stabilizing braces into alleged Short Barrel Rifles thus requiring registration with the ATF pursuant to the National Firearms Act… [Watch]
That anyone has to just shows how unAmerican the treasonous violence monopolists continue to be.

Top legal newspaper publishes opinion calling for open defiance of SCOTUS and abrogation of the RKBA [More]
Unfortunately, it’s behind a paywall:
But what little I can make out leads me to believe this is typical Opposite Day “progressive” lawless “law” from lefty lawyers who believe their ivory tower rises above it all.
Honestly.
CNN EXCLUSIVE ‘Something has to be done’: After decades of near-silence from the CDC, the agency’s director is speaking up about gun violence [More]
“Something must be done!”
Where have I heard THAT before?
I don’t suppose ol’ Rochelle has a rational answer to “What?”
And what’s with “decades of near silence“?

UPDATE
Well, I not only posted on an old story that’s a couple of years old but the very same story I cited in my above-linked AmmoLand piece. That’s what happens when I’m in a hurry, I guess…
“We won’t shy away”: Mayors are shaming gunmakers [More]
No, the only ones who are being shameful are these petty incompetent tyrants. I wonder if you did an analysis of criminal members of their population what the rate would be.
What the gun makers should be ashamed of is continuing to arm these tin-pot dictator’s enforcers.

Virginia’s ‘Pro-Gun’ AG is Fighting To KEEP Universal Background Checks [More]
From David T. Hardy, via an email discussion concerning SCOTUS declining to hear a challenge to New York concealed carry laws:
It just declined to grant a stay pending appeal (or, to be more exact, refused to overrule the 2nd Circuit’s decision to grant a stay), which is not really refusing to hear the case. The two dissenters suggested they were ready to jump down the 2nd Circuit’s throat if it didn’t do the right thing.
The 2nd Circuit is going to look at this case very carefully….
Napoleon, when someone was going into detail on a particular general’s military virtues and why he deserved promotion, cut him off with “Enough, tell me one thing — is he lucky?” Meaning, I think, does he get results that no one expected. The attorney in the case, Steven Stamboulieh, appears to be very, very, lucky. He is someone to watch, now and ten years from now when we in the old guard are gone.
And despite a lot of these laws, gun ownership in the black community has been going up, because black people recognize that the government’s not going to be there to save them, it’s not going to protect them, and that they need to be able to defend themselves. [More]
Yeah, you can’t tell by this.

Back in the day, Democrats reacted to the Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education decision requiring that they respect all Americans’ civil liberties with fury and a petulant campaign of massive resistance. What is old is new again – the Democrat Party is back in form, furious that SCOTUS will not let them steal our rights. This time it is gun rights. The Bruen decision made it clear that blue states cannot deny your right to keep and bear arms on a whim. And the libs have gone into overdrive to undermine it. [More]
That the lying totalitarian wannabes call themselves “liberals” is all we need to know.

Congressman Bob Good (VA-05) introduced the Protecting Individual Sovereignty Through Our Laws Act, or PISTOL Act. This legislation would prevent the Biden Administration from regulating pistol braces by clarifying that what constitutes a “pistol” is not subject to bureaucratic interpretation, such as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has wrongly done in their recently finalized rule.

I don’t see it listed under his name on GovTrack yet but consider the bill’s passage prognosis pretty much “0” with a Democrat Senate and president.

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]
How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.
I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.
Maybe somebody’s got pictures?
