Notes from the Resistance
[T]he Attorney General’s Office has filed suit against Federal Way Discount Guns claiming that they unlawfully sold high capacity magazines in violation of RCW 9.41.370. However, while this is certainly bad news for that business, did the Attorney General just hand the plaintiffs in Sullivan v. Ferguson and Brumback v. Ferguson, the very “standing” that the AG claimed that the plaintiff’s lacked? [Watch]
Be nice to think the grabbers screwed up and in doing so screwed themselves…

In all fairness, how could “staunch defender of the Second Amendment” John Curtis be expected to know foreign-born commie gun-grabbers like Pramilla always take what you give them and then demand more?
I mean, it’s not like the guy’s a f***ing idiot or anything. Is he…?
Accordingly, upon due consideration, it is hereby ORDERED that the motion for a stay pending appeal is GRANTED and … Appellees’ motion to expedite the resolution of the matter is GRANTED. [More]
So the infringements will continue but we’ll hurry up about making a decision?
Here’s the original Antonyuk v. Hochul complaint for those unfamiliar with the case. Just to give you an idea of how full of sh… uh… beans the other side is, check out this bit of lying, hoplophobic hysteria from Brady president Kris Brown:
New Yorkers, like all Americans, do not want their supermarkets, public squares, and child care centers turned into bullet-riddled crime scenes.
Where haven’t lawful concealed carriers done that?
Today, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) secured a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) in state court, preventing the entire new Oregon gun control law from being enforced. Signed by Judge Robert S. Raschio, the order bars the state from implementing any portion of the law until a hearing is held on a request for a preliminary injunction next Tuesday. [More]
I guess it all depends on the judge…
UPDATE
A gas station owner in Philadelphia recently hired security guards armed with AR-15s or shotguns and decked out in Kevlar to protect his establishment from the city’s rampant crime… “They are forcing us to hire the security, high-level security, state level,” Patel told the outlet. “We are tired of this nonsense; robbery, drug trafficking, hanging around, gangs.” [More]
I wonder what that will add to the price of a gallon?
Let’s hope KARCO Corporate doesn’t tell him “No.” Or the insurance carrier.
The thought strikes– can you imagine having an electric vehicle and spending several hours at a charger station in that neighborhood? They’ll have to have them, you know, otherwise, we’ll hear no end about the residents being “underserved.”

The “purchase delay” story has as happy an ending as can be expected when you consider all the prior restraint infringements.
“Ed” tells me via email:
Yesterday, Saturday, at around 4 pm, I received a call from [redacted] to inform me that he just received an email on behalf of “General” Bonta that it’s OK to release my HK! I arranged to pick it up later that evening and now have it in my possession…
…Notice, they CC’d the police but NOT to me, like it’s none of my business what they do related to me behind my back. And to date, still not a single response to my request for the documentation and so-called evidence they claimed to have, to which I, as “the accused” have a legal right to be presented with to see what the alleged “evidence” is that they used to make the libelous accusations of my “alleged criminal activity” and “firearms theft,” that they used to defame me…
…And, as ALL the guys that were there last night working the F/A counter told me about their customers having this same problem, I suggested that they tell those folks to look up your article and then contact AmmoLand to pass on their info.
Yeah, if it happens to you, let us know.
This appears to be yet another real-world example of those “false positives” the left viciously attacks John Lott for documenting. And the end of this story brings nothing to mind so much as Emily Litella realizing she’s wrong.
Ed’s just lucky Bonta didn’t deploy a shock team to confiscate what’s on his registration list. Just think how much more that will happen once Amalgamated finishes beta-testing its crystal ball.
Illinois Dems Introduce Gun Control Bill Targeting Assault Weapons, Age Restrictions [More]
My bet is it passes and then we’re in for years of challenges based on the Bruen standard. Then all the Republicans need to do is blow everything so the Democrats can restack SCOTUS and go for a reversal.
Any takers?

MAJOR 2A CALIFORNIA COURT VICTORY: Critical Win for Gun Rights Supporters TODAY [Watch]
California’s tyrannical attempt to stifle peaceful revolution by economically coercing against petitioning government for redress of grievances gets set back by Judge Benitez.
I didn’t find announcements on SAF, FPC, and Ninth Circuit websites yet, and nothing yet on a news search, so Mark W. Smith has the scoop.
Rob Bonta really is evil.

There is no “one size fits all.” I’ve always used the term “development appropriate” instead of “age appropriate.”

The Internet Archive/Wayback Machine is conducting its annual fundraiser. As has been my practice, I donated once more.
Why?
Because ever since Examiner.com shuttered operations, it is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Gun Rights Examiner columns, starting from the first one through to my getting unceremoniously fired in 2015. It is the only place on the internet that has preserved my Operation Fast and Furious “Project Gunwalker” reporting, which would otherwise be lost.
Ditto for old GUNS Magazine “Rights Watch” columns that their website no longer hosts.
I suppose I could go back and copy everything and repost it anew — if I had a solid year to do nothing else but that. But I don’t and I can’t.
I recall somebody here in comments a while back saying something about rethinking his contribution because the founder’s daughter was a big lefty or something like that– I don’t remember the specifics. In any case, I’m not giving for her, I’m giving to help preserve what I consider a vital resource that serves my self-interests. As you know, I never ask for donations for myself. If it’s in your self-interest to see the history of Fast and Furious (or anything else) preserved, this is the best way to do it that I know of.

What Murphy is doing is extorting law enforcement that refuses to waste resources enforcing edicts that clearly violate the Supreme Court’s Bruen ruling, like the Oregon sheriffs who have gone on record as refusing to go after Measure 114 magazine ban defiers. And not just them, but also on non-Democrat-dominated political jurisdictions, as exemplified by the growing number of “Second Amendment sanctuary” cities and counties (what lying, race-baiting Democrats smear as “Civil War Flashpoints”). Add to that states that not only won’t enforce infringements, but that have enacted their own laws to override them, and are fighting in court to have them upheld, like Texas suing ATF “for unlawfully prohibiting firearm silencers.” [More]
If only the Founders had foreseen the potential for centralized tyranny and established a federalist system with delegated and reserved divisions of power… oh, wait…
Jordan says the ghost gun rule “goes well beyond the authority granted to the agency in any applicable federal statutes,” and expands the legal definition of a firearm beyond what Congress intended. A prior letter from Jordan to ATF declared the rule “appears to be a deliberate attempt to usurp the authority of Congress,” and said it unconstitutionally infringes “on American citizens’ fundamental Second Amendment rights and privacy rights under the Fourth Amendment.” [More]
He’s right about the agency lacking authority. What I’ve yet to see is where Congress can legitimately claim it.
And I don’t see too many on “our side” talking about that.

If the California DOJ won’t let Ed buy a gun, what’s to say they’ll let him keep the ones he already has if their misidentification persists? It’s not like they don’t know what he has and where he lives. That alone, along with the propensity of state disarmament enforcers to violently descend in the middle of the night, makes calling attention to his plight a matter of personal safety. [More]
Nothing says “shall not be infringed” like “How do we know you’re not a criminal?”
Start with the fact that Schumer’s stated goal, “get a path to citizenship for … however many undocumented there are here” will create an overwhelming number of new Democrats. Anyone who disputes that is deliberately ignoring all observable demographic realities. Even the terminology he employs is a calculated deception. It’s not a “path.” With the numbers involved, we’re really talking about a superhighway. And guess who pays the tolls? [More]
Dismiss this observable danger at your peril. And dismiss anyone who does.
“It tells me all I need to know. And that is, just because it’s legal does not make it the right thing. I tell people all the time, the institution of slavery was legal, but it was not right. Just because they purchased these weapons legally does not mean that’s what the law ought to be.” [More]
This moron is literally saying freedom is slavery.

White supremacist rhetoric online, including the promotion of racist conspiracy theories, has been linked to Gendron and his motive behind the Buffalo attack… [More]
The goal here is not just to disarm the citizenry– it is to reduce allowed speech to that which won’t trigger the lowest common denominator sociopaths, meaning to eliminate any but approved speech. It’s the same crap the Bloombergians are pulling on Daniel Defense.
I don’t suppose it’s in anyone in power’s interests to focus instead on those who can’t be trusted with words…?
