Notes from the Resistance
Republican Texas Rep. Michael Cloud reintroduced a bill to require the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to destroy gun purchase records they have in their database as the agency cracks down on gun stores. [More]
Fine and good.
Wake me when there’s a Senate willing to pass it and a president willing to sign it.
Biden vows to ban assault weapons ‘come hell or high water’ [More]
I wonder how many millions of American citizens he and the cheering fools are willing to have killed enforcing it.
“New York has once again adopted a law we believe is unconstitutional, and we’re confident the federal court will bring an end to this nonsense. It’s time for lawmakers in Albany to stop trying to outsmart the U.S. Supreme Court.” [More]
I think what they’re doing is much more insidious than that.
They have tax cows they can milk for legal war chest funds, all the while depleting their victims’ resources to fight back. And they’re counting on extending things in the courts long enough for the Republicans to blow it yet again, so the Democrats can stack the court and reverse Bruen.
That Warren Burger Quote Gun Grabbers Love Is Ahistorical — Not To Mention Sort Of Fake [More]
And he’s not the only “conservative” phony.

A handful of House and Senate bills are beginning to work their way through the state’s legislative process, as the Ohio Legislature’s 135th General Assembly gets underway. The first three, as currently written, would reduce firearms regulations and expand Second Amendment rights. [More]
Who but someone willfully deluding herself, a liar, or both, would deliberately ignore that the militia is comprised of citizens “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”? Its function was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. And 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 torches and pitchforks. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. [More]
And worst of all, this robed … thing … was confirmed by a Republican majority Senate.
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…?

Federal Firearms Administrative Action Policy and Procedures [More]
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?
