Notes from the Resistance
Blue States Sue ATF and National Association for Gun Rights – 16 Anti-gun Attorneys General seek to block agreement to return Illegally seized triggers [More]
It will be interesting to see if competitor rice bowl groups put their historic hostility to NAGR to the side and support them in this.
Get yours while supplies last!

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF), joined by New Jersey Firearms Owners Syndicate (NJFOS), have filed a lawsuit in district court challenging New Jersey’s ban on adults under the age of 21 from purchasing, owning or carrying handguns and handgun ammunition. [More]
Y’know, if Bondi’s 2A Task Force included gun owner representation, they’d be able to advise Justice on how best to support this.
The Exigency for Stricter Gun Control Legislation in the United States of America: Why the Constitution’s Second Amendment Provision for the “Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms” is Obsolete in our Contemporary Society [More]
I trust no one here is surprised…?

Smith doesn’t expect a win at this stage. With a panel of judges appointed by Reagan, Trump, and Biden—but leaning against gun rights—he predicts the court may rule against plaintiffs either on standing or the merits. But that just sets the stage for a bigger battle ahead—potentially at the Supreme Court. [More]
Oh, well then, victory is assured with those eager beavers!
I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome [sic] doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it against the direct wishes of the governor [More]
Ah, yes, a true champion of the Second Amendment…
Just make sure you guys don’t shoot yourselves.

Unable to refute reality, what’s a gun prohibitionist to do but try and confuse the issue? [More]
So what if the Founders never envisioned the “boyfriend loophole”? If you can have a “living Constitution,” why not a “living Second Amendment.”
RI House passes controversial assault weapons ban [More]
By this douche bag.
Gee, I wonder what emboldened them to try this now.

NRA-ILA Petitions the U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Challenge to NFA Restrictions on Short-Barreled Rifles [More]
Pretty long on “common use” popularity and pretty short on core purpose except to address militia controls, as opposed to militia necessity.
Now all SCOTUS has to do is… nothing.
[Via Jess]
Don’t look to Pam Bondi’s “Second Amendment Task Force” to help.
And don’t look to SCOTUS to hear it if it did.

Talk about sugar-coating: Good grief.
You know what would work even better than “YOUR help”? Getting Pam Bondi and her ATF guy to submit well documented statements of support.
If gun owner reps had a seat at the table, they’d be able to finesse that. But the ones in a position to demand that apparently think continuing to solicit craps shoot funds is the better way to go.
Gun rights groups frequently call on courts to exclude other time periods. That’s because there were fewer regulations — at least regulations written down as statute — compared to the latter half of the 1800s, leaving fewer historical analogues to pick from. Focusing on the Founding Era also ignores crucial legal developments in the intervening decades. [More]
Yeah, that’s because later infringements weren’t what was agreed to and ratified.
These creatures are such shameless f_ing liars.

Andy Massimilian calls in about some 2nd Amendment court cases in which the Supreme Court did not take cases in some states letting some gun bans stay in place. [Listen]
This guy. He also writes letters to editors.
I’d like to see more gun owners take the lead on doing this.
Exposing the Deception: How the Protecting Communities and Preserving the Second Amendment Act of 2025 Infringes on Gun Rights [More]
It’s past time to put Chuck Grassley out to pasture, NRA ratings bull$#!+ notwithstanding.
I would appreciate your help resolving this situation promptly on a statewide basis without the need for litigation. [More]
Yeah, well, what you’d appreciate and what connected Democrat power player Sheriff Sean Kilkenny will do could be two very different things.
Say he says “No,” and then ties things up in court for years and at the end of the trail the Supreme Court pulls another Snope. Why shouldn’t he take his chances and tell her to go for it? Especially since it’s not his money, the Democrats could very well be back in the national saddle by then, and he could emerge as the scrappy warrior who took on the feds and beat ’em…
The Federal Appeals Court for the 7th circuit heard an oral argument about gun free zones and whether they are constitutional under the 2nd Amendment. [Watch]
Of course they’re not. “Shall not be infringed,” remember?
Which doesn’t mean this won’t go on for years and end up in front of a deliberately indifferent a Supreme Court that denies cert.
Forgive me if the whole Snope deal has soured me on hyperbolic video titles.

GOA & GOF File for Summary Judgment to Overturn Florida’s Open Carry Ban [More]
’bout damn time. Before someone gets killed.
So, will Uthmeier and DeSantis stand down, like they did with a challenge to the under 21 long gun ban, or fight, and in any case, all the Supreme Court has to do to keep the prohibition in place is something they’ve proven very adept at: Nothing.
Sorry it took so long to reply– I was away for several days. The video incident happened before FL passed permitless carry. In retrospect, I should have pointed that out. [More]
The “Only One,” who doesn’t know the law and who said he had respect for an amendment he couldn’t even properly number, was instructing his victim to break another law.
If that’s coming from a sergeant, imagine the street grunt’s legal acumen.
There is something that is in DeSantis’ power to do that can mitigate that danger without having to rely on oath-breaking Republican power players… [More]
One simple, proactive order that is within the governor’s power to issue could minimize the chances of lawful open carriers being endangered by police ignorance of the law.
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) have filed their opening brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, challenging California’s sweeping surveillance mandate on firearm dealers. This appeal is part of the ongoing case against Cal. Penal Code Section 26806, which forces all FFLs—including home-based dealers—to install 24/7 video and audio recording systems to surveil customers, and then retain that data for warrantless inspection by the state.

Democrats to Orwell: Hold our beer.
Hey… any law against putting that poster next to the cameras?
