Notes from the Resistance
The appeal challenging the district court’s order denying Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is therefore DISMISSED. [More]
There was a mootness factor because of a state court injunction. Mark W. Smith explains what it all means.

This is another reason why a substantial “conservative” following of the late “Coach Red Pill” YouTuber Gonzalo Lira baffled me:
This is a guy many claiming to be “on the right” listen to and ardently defend, which is curious when you consider five months ago he advised “If you live in any of the democracies of the West, you should leave now while you still can.” … Leftist totalitarians will “take over and crush all opposition.” Forget the Second Amendment, he asserts. “The American military will crush any…kind of armed resistance in the United States.”
Joe Biden couldn’t have said that last bit any better.

Not to blame the victim, but if you’re going to engage in high law enforcement interdiction incentive activities, being judicious about who you share such knowledge with and circumspect in public commentary may lessen your risks of being caught.
Just sayin’.
None of which takes away his absolute right to have and say those things.

What percentage do you figure violent crime would drop?

These infringements, as they always do, will only burden “law-abiding” people. Criminals will still get all the guns they want the old-fashioned way as they keep sending doctors more patients. [More]
If it walks like a gunquack and quacks like a gunquack…
Instead of taking on the next frontier of firearms regulations, the justices tossed a highly anticipated review of prohibitions on gun ownership for felons. [More]
The distancing from Bruen continues.
As noted before, the only thing the Supreme Court has to do to let infringements stand is… nothing.

What we’re seeing is a cynical Democrat admission that their radical platform doesn’t play well in the heartland, so they need to hide who they are and put on a mask of moderation. [More]
Anyone who falls for a change in their agenda is the type of dupe the Democrats rely on.
Anyone who tells you 18-to-20-year-olds are not fully enfranchised citizens entitled to exercise their rights under the Second Amendment is a liar and an enabler of tyranny. [More]
Sending back what should have been a no-brainer makes me wonder which SCOTUS members we’ve been told are 2A-friendly are getting ready to disappoint…
PLAINTIFFS’ PROPOSED FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW [More]
Mark W. Smith says they’re “GREAT 2A ARGUMENTS.”
I’d feel better if they cited the word “militia” more than once, and that just to quote the amendment.

GOA, GOF Coalition Urge Judge to Make Final Ruling on Universal Registration Check Rule [More]
Here’s how you can prove it’s not just about “background checks.”
There are an average of 1,820,000 defensive gun uses per year compared to 1,100,000 reported crimes. Only 2.07 million civilians regularly carry a firearm for defense. Civilians are 85% more likely to use a firearm for defense than to be murdered by one. [More]
[Insert name of gungrabber here] would rather you be murdered than armed. Preferably by someone with a gun, to bolster their numbers.

Maybe you’re ready to fight. What’s been holding you back?
If you think they are willing to stop at collecting machine guns, they will eventually go for your semi-automatic rifles. If you think they will stop at semi-automatic rifles, they’ll go for your bolt action and lever action rifles when you’re not looking. [More]
That’s why they call them “totalitarians.”
To paraphrase Martin Niemöller, “Then they came for the Fudds— and there was no one left to speak for them.
Two such changes would require gun owners to obtain liability insurance to cover losses and damages from accidental use of firearms, and a new annual $25 harm reduction fee would be instituted for gun owners on each gun they own. The future funds would go to a nonprofit focused on gun violence education and prevention…The city would also ban anyone 18 years or younger from entering a gun dealership and would ban the sale of firearms from home-based businesses. [More]
Tell me THAT won’t reduce the “30% increase in homicides this year.”
And now it’s up to gun owners to cough up more money to let this drag on for years in the courts.

A federal judge in New York has issued a permanent injunction against the Cortland Housing Authority prohibiting any sort of firearms ban against CHA tenants… [More]
Yet I’ll bet they overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
An official at the Department of Homeland Security has been promoting illegal immigration into the U.S., using platforms like YouTube and TikTok to provide advice to border crossers, according to a new report by a conservative organization. [More]
You’ll see trolls repeating the crafted lie that Trump and MAGA Republicans killed the “Bipartisan Border Crackdown Bill.”
Yes, usual suspect Vichycons crossed over, but it was hardly a “crackdown.” The phony bill allowed the Homeland Security secretary to be the one to decide if he would act if there were an average of 4,000 daily encounters at the southern border during seven consecutive days. It didn’t REQUIRE it until there are an average of 5,000 encounters a day during seven consecutive days, or 8,500 encounters on any single day. It didn’t stop them and send them back. And the “unencountered” still kept coming. And they’re being “resettled.” Where they’ll have anchor babies and staged for “pathway to citizenship” entry.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.
