Notes from the Resistance
How can you tell Don Hagan is lying?
Florida City Moves to Illegally Ban Gun Sales in Aftermath of Hurricane [More]
And Boss Hagan thinks he’s got the meathead thugs to back that up.
Facebook commenters are having none of it.
And what happened on X?

Compare to GOA’s and be guided accordingly.
I’d throw in NRA’s, but those have always been problematic.
Rep. Thomas Massie made the news recently when he introduced HR9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act, correctly noting “No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country.” [More]
I asked him direct questions and true to form (and unlike most), he answered directly. President Trump really needs to look at why Massie takes the positions he does and realize that’s what it will take to Make America Great Again.
Appeal filed in Kansas machine gun case… In the original order the court dismissed the case after it found “the plain text of the Second Amendment does not cover the possession of machineguns.” [More]
So, “in common use at the time” can be a trap…?
Or in this case it sounds like that statement was just worded confusingly…

GOA Files Amicus Brief in Challenge to Maryland AWB @ SCOTUS [More]
How much longer is SCOTUS going to allow inferior courts like the Fourth Circuit to snub thier noses at Bruen?
The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard oral argument today in the Reese v. ATF lawsuit involving a federal gun control law preventing young adults from purchasing handguns from FFLs. [Watch]
The ultimate absurdity is young adults being old enough to vote for the government to tell them they’re not old enough to own guns.

New Anti-Gun Group Focused on State Legislatures [More]
To quote a line from The Patriot:
Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man’s rights as easily as a king can.
This guide estimates where candidates stand on gun issues by comparing their views with those of a control group of gun owners. As noted below, a “4-STAR” candidate agrees with the control group on at least 90% of gun issues, a 3-STAR agrees on least 80%, a 2-STAR on at least 70%, a 1-STAR on at least 60%, and a 0-STAR candidate agrees on less than 60% of gun issues. [More]
It’s a place to start and will no doubt be “single issue” strong.
I’d like to see the criteria and if “the greatest threat” is considered.
This is How They’ll Just Ignore the Second Amendment [Watch]
I seem to recall somebody — an obscure bellyacher, not a recognized Second Amendment scholar — warning not to overly rely on the “common use” test…

Yesterday’s conversation on Armed American Radio…
By focusing on the word “all,” propagandists can deflect from addressing the real issue: “shall not be infringed.” [More]
Prohibitonist gaslighting masks totalitarian intent.
Elon Musk now travels with up to 20 bodyguards who refer to him by the code name ‘Voyager,’ report says [More]
That explains why he still hasn’t come completely around.
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
Let Republican win in November and we’ll see where it goes. And Massie knows better than anyone how that works.
Chan fails, however, to show that either a short-barreled rifle or a machinegun is an “arm” within the plain text of the Second Amendment. [More]
Let me guess: He let Google Gemini write his opinion.

Of course they’re talking about taking your guns.
The psy ops is in full force, with “conservative” Frank Luntz telling lefty media that Trump’s toast. Admittedly, the guy let himself get rattled and, as in 2020, the election is his to blow, but the real focus on behavior ought to be on someone who can lie so seamlessly and with a smile, using a mask of compassion and concern to hide malevolent intent.
There’s something deeply wrong with a person who can do that.

Despite Lies Spread by Trump and the NRA, Harris and Walz Do Not Want To Take Everyone’s Guns Away [More]
True, not everyone. Loyal enforcers get to keep theirs. And you can keep your Fudd gun– for now. Provided someone with unknown motives doesn’t file unproven allegations against you.
Oh, and don’t plan on carrying what we let you have anywhere we say you can’t.
Tens of millions of the verboten ones, forget it. By focusing on the word “all,” career propagandist Nick Wilson deflects from addressing the real issue: “shall not be infringed.”
Does the Second Amendment protect New Hampshire residents from prosecution if they temporarily carry their guns across the border into Massachusetts? The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court on Monday heard arguments on the disagreement between the two New England states. [More]
Don’t they know that unalienable rights are subject to place, time, and political whim? It’s almost like these people think they live in a free country or something.

Pelosi says Trump a ‘threat’ to U.S. just like British were to 13 colonies [Watch]
You mean the ones who wanted to confiscate citizens’ arms and have a monopoly of violence…?
