Notes from the Resistance
In a case that could potentially have far-reaching implications for similar lawsuits across the nation, the U.S. Supreme Court has denied Minnesota’s Petition for Writ of Certiorari in Jacobson v. Worth, the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) challenge to the 18-20-year-old carry ban in the state…The high court’s refusal to hear the case means the Eighth Circuit’s ruling stands as a final judgment, confirming SAF’s win.

Now, how do we change “could” to “will”?

The entire State of Missouri can rest much easier now. The ATF has made the Show-Me State a much safer place. Two rule breakers from small Missouri towns were indicted by a federal grand jury last week. Their crimes? They’re accused of selling guns without a federal license. Their ages? One was 75 and the other was 81 years old. [More]
As long as infringements are enforced, it’s no country for citizens of any age.
So much for the “Second Amendment Task Force“…

We’re awaiting word on Snope/Ocean State tactical, and if SCOTUS is going to make a decisoin or once more kick the can down the road. Meanwhile, here are some sobering thoughts:
This is especially frustrating to watch after feeling like I’m the lone voice in the wilderness warning that relying solely on “self defense” while ignoring the militia aspect makes 2A more vulnerable to infringements, and how putting all faith in the “in common use at the time” argument can be a trap.

As Missouri Republicans push a new version of the Second Amendment Preservation Act through the legislature, law enforcement officials in the state say lawmakers and supporters of the bill are ignoring their concerns…“I think it’s anti-law enforcement,” said Ellisville Police Chief Steve Lewis. “It’s bad legislation for law enforcement in that we believe it restricts law enforcement’s ability to assist federal task force partners with the seizure of weapons from bad people.” [More]
Back the Oathbreakers? Whatever, Porky.

While anyone dumb enough to believe in and follow his Democrat operative noisemaking can certainly be described by the old Soviet pejorative “useful idiot,” the term “Judas goat” seems more appropriate for him. [More]

This ensures gun rights will continue to be denied [More]
There are plenty making excuses, but it doesn’t change the fact that they know what Founding intent was, and a right delayed is a right denied.
