Notes from the Resistance
However, state legislatures have the authority and prerogative, rooted in the Tenth Amendment, to set and adjust the age of majority as they see fit “for the public good”… [More]
This:
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
does not override this:
This Constitution…shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
It’s so weird– young people in Marx for Our Lives demanding that the government curtail their rights because they’re not mature and responsible enough to claim them.

Police designating themselves the “Only Ones” to be trusted with arms and claiming exemptions to infringements the people are subjected to invites corruption, and seeing officials “hoist with their own petard” hardly invites sympathy…So, it’s not unfair to wonder what’s in it for gun owners to come to Wendt’s defense?

The greater danger is ATF subjectively assigning itself powers and having the courts agree with it.
My once-solid Republican area is now solid Democrat “thanks” to “redrawing” of district borders, resulting in my gun-grabber rep’s reelection:
With all 8,878 precincts reporting, Sykes won with 51.05% of the votes.
*Emilia Sykes (D) 193,575
*Kevin Coughlin (R) 185,622

My only consolation: She won’t be in a position to do much damage for a few years.

How Many Illegal Gun Owners are in America [More]
If it’s someone who refused to surrender a banned gun out of principle, not knowing is how it should be.
If it’s someone who possesses a stolen gun, he’s not the owner.
One might reasonably ask why, with all the various shooting sports available, it is the tactical shooting sports that have grown exponentially in recent years. The answer is simple: There is a growing recognition in the United States that average citizens may, in the not-too-distant future, have to defend themselves against ungovernable crime — or tyranny.

Just because Congress is deliberately indifferent to it’s mandated militia obligations under Article.1. Section. 8. doesn’t mean DIY isn’t an option… all except for the organizing part. Gun groups focused exclusively on self-defense really ought to put some energy into convincing “our beautiful Second Amendment” president-elect into promoting that and removing state “legal” barriers against…

Canton park board formally changes laws, allows firearms in public parks [More]
Kudos to an alert citizen who educated them on state preemption. It’s inexcusable he had to.
Now the question is, can we keep Canton “Only Ones” who go berserk on lawfully armed citizens out of parks?

To stop a Hitler, who wouldn’t need not just the semiautomatics Democrats are trying to ban, but real “weapons of war”? Just like the Founders intended…? [More]
If you truly believed Trump was a Nazi dictator bent on setting up camps, who in their right mind wouldn’t want to be armed?
Don’t Forget About Candidates in Local and State Elections! [More]
My editor at the magazine, Vincent DeNiro, has some thoughts about the crucial importance of “lesser” candidates. Hopefully, everyone here has consulted with their state gun rights groups and done their own due diligence.
I learned something new: I did not realize Kathy Hochul once had an NRA A-rating.
