Notes from the Resistance
This is obviously a clumsy attempt at stirring the pot and creating divisions between the administration and Second Amendment supporters. [More]
So… are trolls just doing it for kicks, or is there something more insidious at play here?
In Washington, Democrats in Olympia are looking at adding $100 to the nonrefundable fee for a concealed pistol license, jacking the cost up from $36 to $136… In neighboring Oregon, there’s a move on via House Bill 4145 which would raise the cost of a permit-to-purchase from the $65 maximum to $150. [More]
What are these carry fees everyone is so upset about?
Don’t tell Judge Jeanine!

You’d think “a very stable genius” with so much skin in the game would know better than to let his people douse the fire in gunvoter bellies.

Guess he didn’t read the bit in the Constitution about “calling forth the Militia to execute the Laws of the Union, suppress Insurrections and repel Invasions.”

“We all started bleeding from the nose,” he added. “Some were vomiting blood. We fell to the ground, unable to move. We couldn’t even stand up after that sonic weapon — or whatever it was.” [More]
So… if they ever get the technology developed to where such weaponry is bearable (assuming they don’t already have manpacks), will We the People be able to get sonic disruptors…?
Sorry, the courts say “No” and the only person I know squawking about it is… uh… me.
If “the people” of the Second Amendment can be denied arms based on them not being “in common use” for sport and for limited “self-defense” situations, what chance would they have resisting tyranny equipped with weaponry that today would be considered the stuff of science fiction? Who knows what those imposing their demands will have at their disposal, along with the power to withhold from citizens 50 years from now, or 100, or beyond?
These books represent years of painstaking research and labor. The information presented is invaluable and the cost of producing limited run copies is great. [More]
Knowledge is power. Those who have it know that.
“Burlington Mayor Emma Mulvaney Stanak, Senate President Phil Baruth, and members of Gun Sense Vermont will gather at the Statehouse on Wednesday to renew their push for a bill banning guns in Burlington bars.” [More]
I wonder what text, history, and tradition have to say about that?

Moms’ll be there. Will you?
None of this is done to disparage recognized and deservedly lauded good and unprecedented positions being taken by DOJ that would, admittedly, never have happened under any other administration to date. But that does not require Second Amendment advocates to turn a blind eye to when those positions turn cognitively dissonant. [More]

Gun prohibitionists here, there, and everywhere don’t care how many people get killed by their monomaniacal demands for a forcibly disarmed populace.

The state, with unlimited resources, is trying to destroy a man claiming his freedom who won’t surrender. So why are Ron DeSantis and NSSF’s new BFF on board with this?
“Online retailer Indie Guns repeatedly defied court orders and spread extremist views on social media”?
That sounds more like a testimonial than a condemnation to me.

Today, both the federal Department of Justice and 26 states filed amicus briefs supporting CRPA’s challenge to California’s ammo ban. The DOJ filed an amicus brief supporting the plaintiffs in the case of Rhode v. Bonta. In addition, 26 states collaborated on an amicus brief also supporting the case. [More]

As I understand it, Newsom will now need to announce a special election. What I don’t know is what effect redistricting will have and what any likely GOP contender is prepared to do for RKBA.

I see some hyperventilating. Keep in mind:
2% chance of being enacted
And 0% chance at least 3% of gun owners will not comply if it ever is.
It’s not the first time they’ve tried it. It won’t be the last.

Lee Williams distills things so we don’t have to immerse ourselves in muck.
Feel free to stop in and say “Hello.“
The Court selects what it will hear. It grants or denies petitions for writs of certiorari at its discretion. And although Supreme Court Rule 10 pretends to supply a neutral architecture for that discretion, the reality is that Rule 10 functions as a judicial escape hatch—a convenient justification for declining the very cases that demand intervention. In no domain is this more destructive than in Second Amendment litigation. [More]
Good article.
W appointee John Roberts is the biggest impediment, and it’s calculated.
Jeez, it’s almost like my concerns 20 years ago were legit.
As we’ve noted many times before, real recognition of the right to keep and bear arms won’t happen unless there’s a credible “or else” backing up the demand.
