Notes from the Resistance

The State of New York is Still Fighting the Bruen Decision [More]
Herschel brings us up to date on Antonyuk v Satan’s Minions, including New York’s insulting brief and Stephen Stamboulieh’s authoritative response.
I have to find out what SCOTUS’s options are for slapping inferiors defying hierarchical precedent down.
Transage Activists Now Claim “Age Is A Social Construct,” Just Like We Predicted Would Happen [More]
Perhaps we can make lemonades out of lemons– I have long advocated for giving young people development-appropriate gun training, as opposed to “age-appropriate.” Maybe this can be exploited against those obnoxious and unconstitutional edicts saying you have to be 21 to buy the firearm of your choice.
Except I bet if you asked transage proponents, they’d tell you no age is appropriate. More likely, they just want to diddle with kids.
Now wait for Phase Two: Age is racist.

By joining, you’ll get to meet all sorts of interesting people, as well as help to grow the strongest force in the RKBA movement in Arizona. [More]
If you’re in the neighborhood…
So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]
What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?
Franklin Armory and the Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc. (FRAC) have filed a lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) over what the plaintiffs allege are wrongful classification of firearms and regulatory delays. [More]
That presupposes there are rightful classifications and acceptable review times.

A federal lawsuit supported by the Second Amendment Foundation and Firearms Policy Coalition has been filed in New York, challenging that state’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
I’ve been arguing not to forget “core purpose” in 2A actions, so I find this a good add:
The firearms at issue in this case are the sorts of bearable arms in common use for lawful purposes that law-abiding people possess at home by the millions. And they are, moreover, exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty, should such be necessary.
The 2nd Amendment is a curse [More]
So is the First sometimes, when being abused by the DSM.
It looks like there’s more to it than two paragraphs, but since I know where this is going I see no need to register to endure more lying subversion from impotent cultist punks who tolerate no apostasy.

Read Second Amendment Literally: Ban Making and Selling Guns [More]
I know ad hominem attacks are a logical fallacy, but the stunning ignorance on display here, beginning with the presumption that the Bill of Rights defines what citizens “may” do, makes it OK to dismiss this writer and those oxymoronic “true liberals” swallowing his pseudointellectual bilge as fools.
It’s certainly not worth anybody’s time to try and engage in debate with them.

Oregon judge extends ban on new gun law’s background checks… [More]
And if you don’t think the “Charleston Loophole” is a “dangerous gap,” just ask Google!
The Cuyahoga County case came after Delvonte Philpotts was indicted in 2017 on charges of rape, kidnapping and assault. Prosecutors later dropped those charges, but before they did, Cleveland police found pictures Philpotts posted to social media showing him standing outside his home with a pistol. Police got a search warrant, found the gun in Philpotts’ home, and arrested him for violating a state law banning people under indictment from having a firearm. [More]
“Four Republican judges,” eh?
From what I’ve been able to glean, and if there’s not more than one person with that rather unique name, Delvonte may not exactly be the poster child for unalienable rights. That said, if this can catch him up it can catch you and me up, and I want to know what my “pro-gun” state senator intends to do about it.
“Probable cause” for the search warrant also seems kind of hinky without knowing when the photo was taken and whether or not it was a replica firearm. And that said, leave self-incrimination on social media to the morons.

People Can Now Carry Guns Without A License In Half Of America’s States [More]
I can’t tell you how many fender benders I’ve been in since Ohio passed permitless carry where I’ve ended up going full Dodge City…

I’m going to share some of them again here, in no particular order, in the hopes that one or more of them will apply to the particular talents, interests, and/or inclinations of everyone reading them. [More]
Feel free to add your own– just be sure to DO them. And Happy New Year.
In light of Bruen and its “historical understanding” benchmark, it’s difficult to see how an honest legal analysis could continue to support ATF’s vindictive vendetta against Albert Kwan. [More]
What a prolonged and tyrannical outrage. The question now is, does anyone besides a handful of us care?
FBI pushing Americans to sign away their 2nd Amendment rights [More]
It’s OK. The Democrats have their backs.

Putin Should Be Scared: Ukraine Is Set to Start Hitting Russian Territory [More]
Putin should be scared? Hell, I’m scared. And that’s probably because, having thought about potentialities, I’m marginally better located and more prepared than most — which ultimately isn’t really saying a hell of a lot when you think of the way things could quickly go to living hell.
Brent M. Eastwood and his urban media megaphone providers over at MSN.com aren’t?
Looking to Ukraine arming its own citizens as a validation of concept is one thing. But as a real change of heart goes, that was wishful thinking.
Ignoring Washington’s great and prescient warning about foreign entanglements is another matter altogether.
The Republic has lost sons defending Europe and look where it’s gotten us, and importantly, where it’s leading us.
Who are the madmen urging escalation, what’s their skin in the game, and where will they watch it from?
Right-wing evangelical Laila Mickelwait teamed up with billionaire Bill Ackman to demand credit card companies stop processing payments on PornHub, and the protests worked. [More]
Power usurpation and coercion are not the answers to this problem. Vance should know that.
