Notes from the Resistance
Austin tells us at the outset that he has two goals in the book. First, to argue that US Christians need to rethink their views on guns. Second, to argue that we need better gun laws. That is: more restrictive gun laws. [More]
I think I just found the idiot.

What’s not to celebrate? By all means, let’s do. Realistically. Let’s just not forget we’ve got a long way to go to “shall not be infringed” and it’s important to understand that some of the opinions from the majority will be more helpful toward getting there than others. [More]
Along with the admitted good come some exploitable (and unnecessary) concessions that Democrat states are already taking full advantage of, and that will take years to wrangle through.
I take it he didn’t vote for Biden so he “ain’t black”?
Just don’t tell professors Robert Post and Howard Forman.
Or Joy Behar, for that matter.

So why couldn’t you say the same about cities, and do away with preemption?
Besides, this is misdirection: The true issue is that of a free citizen’s unalienable right to arm himself. Since when are local bureaucrats legitimately qualified and authorized to dictate that?
And why did this come in via email, necessitating posting on my placeholder site, instead of being published in “News Releases“?
The slander that “conservative” gun owners are racist and want to deny rights to minorities is an old, tired talking point that’s been proven false many times over the years. [More]
The violence monopolists project their own pathetic, hate-filled paranoia on those who advocate the full exercise of rights by all peaceable people.

As is any enforcer just following orders.
This is an AR-15. A weapon of war. The gun industry is openly marketing these to KIDS. With cartoons and mini JR-15s.
These don’t belong in the hands of our kids or on our streets.
I just signed 2 bills that ban ghost guns and these sick marketing ploys. pic.twitter.com/PesYLjPlzi

When the Second Amendment has been effectively nullified, there’s nothing to ultimately stop the same thing from happening to the First.
But what else would we expect from this self-serving wretch?

Philadelphia shooting: Democrat mayor rips Second Amendment, says only the police should have guns – Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said the US should be more like Canada [More]
Because the “Only Ones” have proven over the years just how right he is, right?
I mean, Jim Kenney said it, I believe it, that settles it.
Just what the hell was it this subversive swore an oath to when he assumed office?
As for being like Canada, armed citizens refusing to bend to tyrants were the “only ones” who kept that from happening or we would have been.

News audiences are clearly meant to associate white pro-gun protesters with a dangerous and probably organized national race-hatred movement, while black pro-gun protesters either don’t exist or are a fringe movement not worth covering. [More]
Well, there are certain requirements if you want to be a “real reporter,” and if you can’t parrot a narrative and keep quiet about what’s not, you have no place in the business.

One Solution Against Tyranny Is Creating State Guards to Defend the Constitution and Fight Back Against the Deep State [More]
Yeah, about that:
Speaking of free states, while the power to raise armies is the purview of the Congress, state defense forces were established by some (17 plus Puerto Rico), but not all states, to be deployed within a state. The State Guard Association of the United States exists “to advocate for the advancement and support of regulated state military forces established by state governments,” [but] don’t look for teeth to match the mission statement. The last two defense force units, the Ohio Military Reserve and the Tennessee State Guard, were the last units trained for deployment with issued weapons, but no more. The Tennessee Guard’s role is now to provide unarmed support to the National Guard during deployment, with organized firearms-related activities are limited to marksmanship competitions. What was once the Ohio Military Reserve, formally a military police unit, was reorganized to provide emergency management support and of late has been assisting food banks during the COVID-19 scare by packing, transporting and distributing food and serving meals. State guard units are examples of the organized militia.
State-level swamp creatures sucking at the Washington teat have no interest in principles of federalism. And it’s not like most of the citizenry understands or cares.

Supreme Court hands Biden victory, allows end to ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …
Thanks, Roberts and Kavanaugh! You just set things up to ultimately undo all the good done in Bruen and most gun owners will never make the connection because the “gun rights groups” refuse to acknowledge it.

Ninth Circuit Panel Sends California “Assault Weapons” Ban Challenge Back to District Court, so the District Court can reconsider it in light of the Supreme Court’s new Bruen precedent. [More]
I don’t see where “self-defense” alone will cut it without a strong core purpose argument.
I do see this:
The firearms that the law in question prohibits are, in virtually every state of the Union, exactly the sorts of lawful weapons in common use that law abiding people possess at home for lawful purposes; and exactly what they would bring to service in militia duty should such cause be necessary.
Here’s the case history thus far.
If this goes to SCOTUS, and it probably will, we’ll see if any briefs expand on that, and then if the high court will hear it.
Repeal the Second Amendment: ‘No one has the absolute right to own any weapon they want’ [More]
No. Your move.
