Notes from the Resistance
Kyle Rittenhouse launches YouTube channel for ‘great content’ on GUNS and the Second Amendment as the 19-year-old Kenosha shooter notches up thousands of subscribers in just hours [More]
Except for wondering why he chose YouTube instead of a non-hostile alternative, I’ll reserve judgment. Lemme see what he actually knows and understands first.

Should advocates push for strong legislation when we know it does not have the votes to pass Congress, let alone override a president’s veto? [More]
I get their reasoning for doing so. My problem with OVERDOING it is that it comes off like phony pandering and shifts focus and resources off immediate priorities. Lather, rinse, repeat for gun-grab bills that have no chance but send everybody screaming that the sky is falling. Then we see the mansplainin’ YouTubers gushing about how HUGE it is, and when nothing comes to pass we’ve got yet another Boy Who Cried Wolf scenario, so that if something we should be paying attention to sneaks in everybody’s jaded and burned-out.
So, yeah, I see their reasoning. I also see mine.
The Constitution was never intended to usher in a pure democracy. In fact, its two most fundamental concerns were to create a central government stronger than that which had existed under the Articles of Confederation and, at the same time, to protect individual, God-given rights of — among others — life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness from the potential for tyranny in this new, stronger central government.

So you can’t vote away the right of the people to keep and bear arms?

Mr. Pynchon would like to say something.
What right involves making demands that others must comply with — or else?
It’s one of the reasons I find the term “entitlements”– as it relates to forced wealth redistribution– so offensively unAmerican. And don’t get me started on “The Second Amendment gives us the right…”
Freeman said the insurance requirement was analogous to some 19th-century laws requiring gun owners to post bond in order to carry a gun. [More]
Ah yes, Licky Liccardo’s law…
The antis will try to use Bruen’s “historical understanding” to justify every disarmament edict they can think up. Let unsaid with that approach:
Were those edicts ever challenged on Second Amendment grounds? Because what they won’t find is the Supreme Court upholding such “laws.”

A federal judge in Iowa has ruled that a Muslim felon had no right to possess a firearm, even if he felt religiously obligated to own a gun to protect himself. [More]
If he’s not locked up, the judge is wrong, and religion has nothing to do with it.

All the Supreme Court has to do to let tyranny stand is…nothing.
I’m wondering if anyone will revisit this in light of Bruen, but then again, the court has pretty much told us they’re not going to touch it.
Some of us will keep fighting in other ways.

CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE AND SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUE CT OVER BAN ON MODERN SPORTING ARMS [More]
I dunno– “in Common Use for Lawful Purposes Throughout the United States” seems to exclude everything that’s not, including what will be developed in the future.
The Supreme Court, in its infamous Miller decision, nonetheless recognized the function of the Militia, defined as “all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time,” was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. These citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The Militia did not assemble on the green bearing clubs and spears. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. A modern Militia would require citizens to keep and bear exactly what the gun-grabbing politicians are trying to take away from them, what they pejoratively denounce as “weapons of war.”
Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’
