Notes from the Resistance
Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and the State of Missouri have filed a motion for a preliminary injunction to immediately block enforcement of Jackson County’s sweeping gun control ordinance targeting young adults. [More]
But…but…but without it, Audie might get a gun!!!
The cognitive dissonance… it burns…
“Agree to disagree” is a phrase that ends a conversation. We want to start one. [More]
Yeah, but then you lie to me. Sorry, not interested in doing anything other than exposing you and your ultimate agenda.
The Ad Council = Professional propagandists. Everything they demand relies on violence monopoly enforcers with guns.
I agree to expose fascist establishment whores. I agree to defy. I agree to resist.

Open-Carry Ban in Philadelphia Is Unconstitutional, Court Rules [More]
We really need a court to declare that?
The most telling quote:
“While we will leave that choice to the individual we will state that in many urban areas (namely Philadelphia) doing so will draw unwanted attention from law enforcement…”
Yeah, ignorant armed Only Ones freaking out over citizens claiming their birthright seems to be a recurring infringement in a lot of places.

The US Court of Appeals, 6th Circuit, has ruled in a case involving a Sheriff’s Department which confiscated 14 guns and has refused to return them to the alleged owners. [Watch]
I’m assuming the claimants did not obtain their firearms through an FFL.
So, if you bought your guns through private sales and you don’t register them with the state, you’re effectively presumed “guilty” until you can prove your “innocence”…? It’s not up to the Only Ones who took them from your home to prove they’re not yours…? And it’s not like the value of the guns is worth a protracted series of battles through the courts.
If I had any guns I bought, say, back in 1977 from a co-worker whose last name I can’t even remember anymore and who may be long dead for all I know, they could take them from me if a guest acted up. The only reasons that could never happen is I don’t know any cowardly bullies with anger management problems and would never allow them in my house if I did, plus, as we’ve long established, I would never own a gun — evil, nasty things things always going around killing people…

It’s doesn’t look like Musk’s America Party will provide the safe haven to jump to that some gun owners are knee-jerk responding to… [More]
What ship will angry gun owners be jumping to?
Campus carry on public college campuses and technical schools took effect July 1, 2025, in South Dakota. [More]
That oughta give most academics apoplexy…

A three-judge panel of the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously upheld an earlier preliminary injunction against a section of the California Business & Professional Code which had been used by the state to stifle gun-related advertising in Junior Sports magazine, in a case brought by the Second Amendment Foundation and others. [More]
Now we see if the en banc court reverses that.
Welcome to California, where advertising a “swell vacation gift from Dad” is verboten and LGBTQ affirming picture books for kids are mandatory.
Hopefully, the Bondi DOJ will overturn this miscarriage of justice, and Donald Trump will return Adamiak to his chosen career. It’s even possible perjurers might be punished and those corrupting the ATF fired. It’s a new day—maybe. [More]
If only there were some way to have the government’s ear to express priorities…
That no major gun groups are demanding this tells me something about sycophancy and it’s not good.

Picture I took in Ukraine a few months ago. 50 dollar over the counter Suppressors. The upper end ones were about $425 at the time. [More]
Now note how many gun-grabbers here in the land of the Second Amendment who make up all kinds of lies to deny this to you have a “#Slava Ukraini” hashtag in their social media profiles.
They were all silent when the biggest case for an armed populace opened up before their eyes, too.
Key House GOP moderate Don Bacon won’t seek re-election [More]
So, a Republican adopting Antifa language and calling MAGA “Nazis” is what we’re calling “moderate” these days…?
At least he was OK on guns…
But then he went and played right into Democrat hands to undo it all by supporting “expanding legal immigration and opening pathways for immigrants to earn U.S. citizenship or a legal status, including those in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.”
Still, the brief adds some important points that an ultimate Supreme Court decision will need to consider: Among recognized “uses by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes” are “self-defense, target shooting, and public defense,” that last category touching on the core purpose the Framers had in mind as articulated in the first 13 words of the Second Amendment. [More]
My latest from Firearms News looks at a long called for DOJ action in support of the Second Amendment that matches its new words.
Go to the AAR website to listen/watch live.
GOA Condemns DOJ Proposal to Merge ATF and DEA: “A Trojan Horse for Gun Control”… The allied organizations joining GOA and GOF are the Second Amendment Foundation, CCRKBA (Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms), CRPA (California Rifle & Pistol Association) and 2nd Amendment Law Center. [More]
Been making similar points for years…
Y’know, if you guys would listen to another piece of advice and demand your rightful seats on the “Task Force,” we wouldn’t keep running into these loggerheads disconnects…
Rhode Island’s Democratic-controlled state House on Friday approved legislation that would ban the sale and manufacturing of many semiautomatic rifles commonly referred to as assault weapons. The proposal now heads to the desk of Democratic Gov. Dan McKee, who said in a post on the social platform X on Friday evening that he plans to sign the bill into law. [More]
Dan does have his priorities…
And note how AP characterizes them as “weapons of choice.”
I guess that’s always depended on what lie you wanted to perpetuate.

Commencing July 1, 2024, an excise tax is hereby imposed upon licensed firearms dealers, firearms manufacturers, and ammunition vendors, at the rate of 11 percent of the gross receipts from the retail sale in this state of any firearm, firearm precursor part, or ammunition. [More]
True, and I don’t suppose too many would be interested in DRESing for success...
Still, why is no one bellyaching about Pittman-Robertson, especially with all those anti-freedom Fudds throwing the rest of us under the bus?

The point of rehashing all this now is to remind younger gun owners that citizen disarmament and its resultant monopoly of violence, repackaged by the prohibitionists now as “commonsense gun safety laws,” has always been the goal. [More]
Don’t let meaningless slogans parroted by indignant useful idiots distract from the real motives of the cold intellects behind citizen disarmament.
Security guard kills Michigan church gunman, preventing ‘large-scale mass shooting’: Police [More]
It’s nice the church took proactive steps to protect it’s “flock,” but most of them fit that description, dependent on someone else to save them. Sheepdogs are hardly what the Founders had in mind and I’ve never liked that analogy.
Note that not one “commonsense gun safety law” group would have preferred the congregants to be armed instead of being slaughtered like sheep, which would have given them gallons of fresh blood to dance in.
I wonder how soon it will be until Brian Browning appears over at the “Gun Violence Memorial“?
Related UPDATE
A thwarted blood dancer tries to hide his disappointment while demanding even more vulnerability. Give the guy credit, though: He’s managed to be both a foreign enemy AND a domestic enemy.
