Notes from the Resistance
Great. Well heeled Vichycons and Fudds are on board with throwing the rest of us under the bus. So, what’s new? [More]
The string pulling violence monopolists can always count on useful idiots, “real reporters,” and gunkapos (but I repeat myself) to do their bidding.
Ron DeSantis picks Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to fill Marco Rubio’s Senate seat [More]
I’ll take any gift that p!$$e$ off Gabby’s handlers.
And it won’t be hard to be an improvement.

Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (NY-24) today introduced the Second Amendment Guarantee Act (SAGA) to ensure that states are prohibited from banning the manufacture, sale, importation, or possession of any rifle or shotgun that is lawfully permitted under federal law. [More]
Looks like they’ve been trying to get traction on this since at least 2017…

The Second Amendment Foundation has won a victory for young adults in Pennsylvania, where a panel of the Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 to remand the case back to the District Court with instructions to enter an injunction forbidding the state police from arresting law-abiding 18-20-year-olds for openly carrying firearms during a declared state of emergency. [More]
At this point, what other choice do the court and those backing disarmament have?
And will we see a simlar conflict demanding SCOTUS resolution as we’ve just seen with felons?
I watched it. [More]
Did you?
Guess what no Republican asked her about.
Two anti-gun Democrats did, and I’ll be writing that exchange up for Firearms News.
The Nomination of the Honorable Pamela Jo Bondi to be Attorney General of the United States
Type:Nomination Hearing
Date: Wednesday, January 15th, 2025
Time: 09:30am
Location: Hart Senate Office Building Room 216
Presiding: Chairman Grassley [Watch]
Think they’ll ask her anything relevant?
“What are you going to do about it, President Trump?” [More]
First, we neeed to realistically look at what he CAN do. Then we need to realistically look at what he WILL do and use every means at our disposal to get his ear and try to keep him on course.
Based on the above four cases, the cert conflict could not be more dramatic. Range and Williams allow as-applied challenges to the felon ban. Jackson and Hunt categorically allow no challenge to the ban. Since felons are the overwhelming majority of persons prosecuted under § 922(g), resolution by the Supreme Court is direly needed. [More]
The fiction, of course, being that truly dangerous felons require any court’s sanction, and that a higher law they won’t acknowledge doesn’t nonetheless hold true…

What Trump Says He Will Do on Day One [More]
I could have sworn he created a very public expectation about guns:
“Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated on my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day.”
“[S]tarting the minute that Crooked Joe shuffles his way out of the White House at noon on Inauguration Day, we will sack the anti-gun fanatic Steve Dettelbach … and replace him with an ATF director who respects the sacred rights to keep and bear arms.”
OK, Dettelbach sacked himself, but we’ll have to see if his replacement is a priority, and what difference he will make.
“Under a Trump Administration, all of those Biden disasters get ripped up and torn out my first week, but maybe my first day in office,” the president declared “Okay maybe my first.”
Joe Rogan: America Has ‘Unique Freedom’ Because 1st Amendment Protected By 2nd Amendment [More]
So, why did he use his oversized influence to stump for gun-grabbing communist Bernie?
I don’t get the “conervative” and “gunfluencer” fascination with this guy. He’s every bit the phony carnival barker Michael Savage was.

I believe in asking political candidates and nominees specific questions that demand unequivocal answers… [More]
Or they could just give her a pass for “I believe in the Second Amendment BUT…”
This document articulates a global vision for the unrestricted right to keep and bear arms, framing it not as a legal entitlement but as a fundamental human right transcending national boundaries. It establishes a universal principle meant to resist regulation, encouraging builders to adopt a mindset of perpetual innovation and resilience against regulatory and societal constraints. Moreover, the Urutau release also includes two additional guides, detailed tips and strategies for maintaining operational security (OpSec) and employing obfuscation techniques, equipping builders with both practical know-how to construct the firearm and tactical knowledge to avoid detection.

They say that like it’s a bad thing…

New Concealed Carry Law Takes Effect July 1 – Plus a Lib Bonus: Vehicle Weapons Now Must Be Locked Up [More]
I don’t suppose being forced to take an eight-hour course and pass a written exam to vote is in the cards…
Coloradans take note. You’ll find no more staunch defender of all rights from government abuses than Mr. Gramlich & Co.
You can subscribe for hard copy or online editions. It sure beats the DSM.
A New Jersey attorney who was denied a gun permit is suing Springfield Township and its police department in federal district court, alleging they violated his right to bear arms because of pro-Palestinian social media posts…. In records that Saadeh obtained through the state Open Public Records Act, police wrote that granting the permit renewal “would not be in the interest of the public health, safety or welfare because the person is found to be lacking the essential character of temperament necessary to be entrusted with a firearm.” [More]
Don’t stop there. Sue them for libel.
And no, I’ve changed no positions. I’m only going on facts presented and extrapolating from there while channeling my inner Thomas More.

Still looking for Snope and Ocean State Tactical…did I misunderstand they would be considered in conference? Guess I’ll have to wait for lawyers to explain what’s happening.

[T]he most important Second Amendment cases of Snope, the AR-15 ban case out of Maryland, and Ocean State Tactical the magazine Ban case out of Rhode Island, are both alive and well before the Supreme Court… [Watch]
So again, we wait.
