Notes from the Resistance
Florida’s “stand your ground” provisions won’t give them a pass from prosecution if there’s a question of legality, or if a Democrat DA decides there’s ginned up anger they can exploit. [More]
But when it’s all said and done, “I’d rather be judged by 12 than carried by six” applies.
A federal judge agreed with Attorney General Bob Ferguson today and rejected another attempt to block Washington’s new law banning the sale of assault weapons. This is the fourth time a court has ruled that the ban should remain in place while legal challenges continue. [More]
Now tell ’em how many hounds they can have.

Based on results, ATF can’t, either.
She’s just wondering if “ghost guns” can also fire 800 rounds a second.
It’s OK to say “she,” isn’t it?
I’ll be joining host Mark Walters today at 4 Eastern to talk about what’s happening at SCOTUS with frames and receivers, and whatever else the conversation leads to.
Go to the Armed American Radio website to listen/watch live/find a station near you.
I don’t know what’s so damn hard to understand about “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.”

So he’s renouncing all those infringements he said he supported?
Justice Alito Wrecks ATF’s ‘Ghost Gun’ Argument: Are Eggs and Peppers an Omelet?[More]
So are John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett bent on scrambling things?
Mark W. Smith has some interesting thoughts, including “if the ATF theory is allowed here, then drilling a single hole in AR-15s to convert it into a machine gun means that an AR-15 is “readily convertable” into a machine gun and thus a machine gun. SCOTUS will need to issue a ruling to avoid this result.”

It’s ridiculous that this is even an issue, but government…
What kind of absolute statist moron would disarm the people at the time they needed to protect themselves the most?
Ol’ Don Hagan sure made a permanent name for himself, didn’t he?
And if you think Helene exposed FEMA, Milton is just getting warmed up.

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce took exception with the NFL’s apparent crackdown on finger gun gestures by saying, “It’s my Second Amendment.” [More]
Don’t tell us. Tell your prop girlfriend.

It’s time to ban guns from every polling place in America. [More]
Yeah, we see how intimidated everybody was by the guy with the rifle.
And to those who are still giving him a pass and making excuses because it could be a losing issue, if that’s the case, he’ll lose anyway– he’s not shying away from abortion, and we’re talking similar constituencies. And naturally, Dems are already telling voters he’s an “extremist.” And “a homophobe.”
Dems even call moderates Nazis, so he’s got nothing to lose and gun owners — who don’t even know his name weeks before the election — to gain. Plus, he can’t erase his NRA grade– that his opponent isn’t exploiting that tells me she’s not anxious to see this can of worms opened either.
How people presume a politician afraid/ashamed will stand for them when the going really gets tough without any basis is beyond me. And it’s the guy on the inside who can hurt you the worst.
The late RNC Chair Lee Atwater is reputed to have asked about gun owners, “Who else are they going to vote for?” We’ve seen the results of wishful thinking, gutlessness, and betrayal. I’m not getting how keeping that door perpetually held open for all Republicans –like it has been in the years I’ve been calling them out on it –works to our advantage.
In for a penny in for a pound:
JD Vance’s acceptance of prohibitionist terms, his failure to correct egregious errors and outright lies, and his avoidance of elaborating to voters on why the right to keep and bear arms is the keystone of freedom, show that when it comes to effective advocacy, Republican politicians all too often come up short. [More]
There were all kinds of missed opportunities, unnecessary concessions, and lies left unchallenged.
The Illinois Attorney General’s office has apologized to a federal judge demanding answers after implying his ruling against the state’s mass transit concealed carry ban has “safety implications.” [More]
And that is the difference between a Trump-appointed judge and what Kamala will put on the bench.
True, his won’t all be perfectly consistent. But you can bet hers will be.

Shoemaker submitted his original response to the complaint on Sept. 18, including a defense reading: “There was and will be no Constitutional violation in enforcing the statute because the phrase ‘bear arms’ is a 1791-era idiom referring to military or militia service. Plaintiffs have failed to plead their involvement in a militia.” [More]
He “loves history“? You can’t prove it by this.
This is the quality of moron presuming to detemine your rights in New York? What repercussions will this douche suffer?
Looks like the county prosecutor is just as big of an @$$hole.
To those praising the “Only One” for “deescalation,” this was elitism writ large. He knew who she was and who she knows. Imagine what he would have done to her if she weren’t the DA, that is, to you and me, for the same behavior.
All she had to do was “apologize,” and she’s back to having the uniforms put you and me behind bars for claiming our rights.
The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights. [More]
So… does this mean they’re reconsidering…?
Gillibrand vs. Sapraicone: The Race for US Senate forum [Watch]
So. Mike is for “red flag laws and background checks”?
Then why should I believe someone who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment won’t betray us on semiautos the first chance he gets to distance himself from another “gun-free zone” exploitation?
She has such a huge lead anyway, why should the gun owners in her district who aren’t Fudds bust their humps on a losing battle to push for a betrayer with an (R) after his name, and what message would that send the GOP on acceptable candidates?
Whether we’re talking about 2 minutes to register to vote or 10 or more minutes or even 30 minutes to vote these are a drop in the bucket compared to the months and months and months that some Americans in anti-gun jurisdictions have to wait to be able to get their carry permit to exercise their Second Amendment right… [Watch]
I’ve never applied for one so I wouldn’t know.
Hey, if it only takes two minutes to register, what’s all the phony brouhaha about disenfranchising voters because it’s too hard to prove eligibility?

By opposing the Heller decision she was declaring the Second Amendment is not an individual right. [More]
It will never be “enough.”
