Notes from the Resistance
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has vacated a three-year prison sentence for a man convicted of possessing a firearm while using marijuana, determining that the government’s ban on gun ownership for drug users cannot be applied indiscriminately. [More]
What you do with the gun is all that should matter.
And when are gun owners going to learn to stop talking to police?
Although the sponsors have attempted to sell this legislation as a bill that would “close a loophole in Colorado’s magazine capacity limit laws“, it took all of 90 seconds for gun owners and activists to realize this had nothing to do with magazines at all, but was instead a sweeping gun ban cloaked in lies, and once the complex and technical language was broken down, it became apparent how severe it was: worse than anything we have ever seen before.

And when they get that, they’ll go after something else, because of course they’re talking about taking your guns.

Today, Congressman Ronny Jackson (TX-13) reintroduced the No User Fees for Gun Owners Act. This legislation would prohibit any state or local government from requiring insurance, taxes, user fees, or similar burdensome charges as a condition for the continued ownership of firearms, pistols, or revolvers. [More]
I wouldn’t hold my breath.
And not to p!$$ off any Fudds, but what the hell is Pittman-Robertson, anyway? Or is that a “good” infringement, and not to be questioned by mere Second Amendment absolutists?

You’re not gonna let some Yankee from Ohio care more about it than you do, are you?
Funny thing about Google, and I don’t mean “ha ha” funny: Search for “Grassroots North Carolina” and good luck finding the gun group’s website. I noticed a similar phenomenon the other day when I put in the title of a recent AmmoLand article.
By suppressing our work, they suppress our political action.
Their sucking up to Trump has to do more than just stoke the guy’s ego. A “Second Amendment President” would be calling them out on algorithms that discriminate against one of his core constituencies.
But back to the resason for this post: Sign GRNC’s petition.
“This is an important ruling in a case that has been up and down the Illinois judicial ladder a couple of times already,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “We expect the state to appeal again, which could put the case right back before the Illinois Supreme Court for the third time, and we are confident we will win. It’s hard to see how the Illinois Supreme Court avoids the constitutional issue, as they have done on the previous two visits.” [More]
They’ll pull something out of their … robes.
Trump’s Second Amendment order is a good first step. It’s up to us to keep him on the path and walking in the right direction. [More]
There are things he can’t do and things he can. Let’s make sure the changes are meaningful.

Darwin Nercesian gives a critical analysis.
Lawmakers moved ahead with a bill to restrict migrants seeking political asylum or on temporary protected status from possessing firearms, a proposal its Republican sponsor said will help crack down on gang activity. [More]
This is another red herring.
Hairs are being split. Technically, they’re refugees. They should apply once they’ve “escaped,” not have carte blanche to traverse several countries so they can help themselves to the best thing on the menu.
Then this wouldn’t be an issue.

More like nothing, excuses by some YouTube “gunfluencers” making unsubstantiated “3D chess” inferences notwithstanding…
Sorry, not sorry if I just don’t see this and most of these actions on the same level as the fundamental and constitutionally stipulated right of the people to keep and bear arms. Surprise me, Mr. President. Release something subtantial you’ve been putting together that just required setting your team in place to actualize before you could announce it.
There’s nothing I’d like better than having my impatient doubts shoved back in my face.
Gun Owners of America (GOA), Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), and the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners, alongside plaintiff Heidi Bergmann-Schoch, have filed a lawsuit challenging New Jersey’s unconstitutional ban on possessing hollow point ammunition for self-defense outside the home. The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, argues that the state’s restrictions violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments by preventing law-abiding citizens from possessing and carrying the most effective forms of self-defense ammunition.

Are she and the Vichycons really that stupid? Let’s ask.
Good thing her “commitment to the Second Amendment has never been in question.”
