Notes from the Resistance
Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson files brief for @TheJusticeDept arguing that silencers are NOT arms & are NOT protected by the Second Amendment. [More]
Did I hear someone say gun owners are losing patience?
Yeah, but he’s only been on the job two months and he’s got a lot on his plate and he’s playing a 3D chess game and… aside from “Would you rather have Kamala?” what excuse did I miss?
And any word on the Bondi report yet?

Yet despite clear evidence of bias, thanks to a U.S. Department of Justice official policy of deliberate indifference, such judges will remain on the bench. [More]
What’s that John F. Kennedy quote about making peaceful revolution impossible…?
Ninth Circuit (Finally) Rules Hawaii’s Gun Purchase Permit and Registration Time Limits are Unconstitutional [More]

DESANTIS: “Well, I would say I am vindicating people’s constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. We always have an obligation to do that.” [More]
Who’s the idiot “reporter”?

The 30-day mark for Bondi to report back to Trump through his domestic policy director would have been this past Sunday, March 9. On Thursday, a Department of Justice official confirmed to ABC News that the deadline had been extended to Sunday, March 16. [More]
Who’s missin’ deadlines? We’re extendin’ ’em.
At this posting, still no official word. Hopefully later today there will be a YUGE announcement.
In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various topics surrounding Second Amendment rights, including the role of the ATF, legal challenges, and the implications of recent legislation such as Oregon’s Measure 114. The conversation also touches on the Aikens Accelerator case, expectations from Pam Bondi’s office, and the potential impact of Trump’s executive orders on gun rights. The episode features insights from David Codrea, a long-time contributor, who shares his perspectives on the current state of gun rights and the challenges faced by advocates. [Listen]
Last night’s program…
If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored. [More]
Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?
HB 3075, the bill to implement the gun bans in Mz 114 has been scheduled for a hearing on March 17. [More]
What’s the point of having the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision if states can ignore it with impunity?
As you no doubt know, the Oregon Appeals Court has ruled Mz 114 “constitutional.” [More]
I submitted an AmmoLand article on this yesterday and will link up when it’s posted.

Four Boxes Diner explains the significance.
See, it’s not “prickly” at all, Mel.
Well, maybe for NRA President “Lautenberg Bob” Barr…

Is Bondi Going to Deliver on 2A or Not? [More]
Well, she’s already missed the 30-day deadline.
We need to keep realistic expectations on what she can do and whaty she can’t do. That said, one thing she can is to stand down where they’re being d!cks in court.

Washington House Dems Pass Permit-to-Purchase Bill; Defies 2A, Say Critics [More]
That means the Marxists in charge can say “No,” and expand denial criteria with majority votes. This is naked, in-your-face tyranny.
As Constitutional scholar Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:
“This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.”
That’s why it’s a mistake to rely exclusively on “self defense” in legal arguments and avoid making a case for the Constitutiopnal Militia.
If you want to fight for your rights against the unlimited power and treasure of the state, you’re on your own. That’s “the reasonableness of the government’s position.” [More]

And as for that EO, it looks like Bondi’s late.

As of right now they have posted it as an “informational” hearing with “invited testimony only.” That means that only their handpicked, anti-gun shills will be allowed to speak. [More]
Welcome to the tyranny of the majority, aka Democrat rule.
What this means is the Form 4473 will need to be revised again if ATF is to comply with the executive order. [More]
Don’t let this distract from a more basic argument.
