Notes from the Resistance
SAF DECLARES ‘WE WILL DEFEND DONALD TRUMP’S GUN RIGHTS!’ [More]
Between this and Hunter Biden, we may see some walls come tumbling down.
We talked about Trump being a “prohibited person” here and here, and I’ve got a Firearms News piece scheduled to come out today that launches from that point, but I gotta confess, there’s a part of me that feels like rubbing “take the guns first, due process later” in his face.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has scheduled oral arguments Aug. 14 in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of California’s one-gun-per-month (OGM) purchase restriction, in a case known as Nguyen v. Bonta. [More]
Of course it’s an infringement.
Of course the Ninth Circuit knows it.
And of course they’re going to do everything in their power to stall things until Democrats get the national majority they need to remake SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
With your money.
Crime gun intelligence centers — or CGICs — use cutting-edge technology to solve and prevent crimes — technology that traces firearms from crime scenes; that links ballistics evidence and connects shootings; and that identifies the gun traffickers and straw purchasers arming gang members and other violent criminals. [More]
In other words, if you asked her right there how many guns retrieved from crime scenes implicated the original purchaser as the trigger puller, you’d get a Jackie Gleason response, and the rest is to try and blame high-volume outlets like Bass Pro Shops and Cabellas for deep pockets PLCAA end run extortion attempts.
Meanwhile, the real problem, Democrat policies “cultivating” constituents who can’t be trusted with a gun, not only isn’t addressed, it can’t even be talked about.

In an interview on Capitol Hill with Fox News Digital, Rep. Aaron Bean, R-Fla., said that instead of drafting new restrictions, people would be better off if all the laws already in place were enforced. “[A] little birdie told me that there’s over 20,000 gun laws in America today. So here’s a novel idea: let’s just enforce those,” he said. [More]
If this is the understanding from our “leaders” (and some of the less qualified “gunfluencers”), no wonder the Democrats have been so successful.
HERE’s an even more novel idea: Shall not be infringed.
When you guys raise your hand and take an oath, is it all just ritual ceremony to you?

David Codrea on Hunter Biden, the election and lies, lies and more lies. [Listen]
Whther you missed yesterday’s show or just like the sound of my voice so much you have to hear it again…
Fortunately (and predictably, at least for the present):
Prognosis 1% chance of being enacted
It’s another try at this piece of treasonous Democrat subversion:
This Act may be cited as the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion Act or the GOSAFE Act.
In other words, Democrat gasbags are doing what they always do on guns: Gaslighting.
As an aside, McBath was a panelist for the Astroturf 97percent phonies who pretend to represent “reasonable” gun owners, and she let slip she was appealing to Fudds because “Bringing them into these discussions really helps us understand better ways to infiltrate…”

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has announced it will hear oral arguments in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of the “Final Rule” issued by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives regarding arm braces for pistols, during the week of Aug. 5. [More]
Which Founding Father would you most like to imagine caning Steve Dettelbach?
I’ll be joining host Mark Walters this afternoon at 4 Eastern. I’m sure we’ll find something to talk about.
Go to the Armed American Radio website to listen/watch/find a station near you.
A new law gives Maryland leaders the ability to sue the gun industry for their wrongful actions. This is a major step in holding the gun industry accountable when they break the law and exacerbate America’s gun violence crisis. [More]
So bring in a player for the other team..
This is why taking back the Senate is so critical. Even with the four Republicans abstaining, she was still confirmed along party lines.
[Via Jess]
We have truly crossed the line. All of this is coordinated, none of it is by chance and it’s happening at lightning speed. [More]
Oregon Firearms Federation notes a desperate enemy attacking from all sides.
There were two major admissions Fincher would have to make if he took the plea. The first required he confess to selling firearms and ammunition without a Federal Firearm License, even though he had a valid FFL during the dates specified. [More]
It doesn’t matter. Surrender or be destroyed.
It’s the ATF way. As for “Why?”
To cow everyone else into submission. And because they can.

My existential concerns about Israel’s very survival vastly outweight any concerns re local 2A rights. [More]
Whereas MY existential concerns are about the Republic’s very survival, and why I have consistently warned against the competing loyalties of “dual citizenship.”
As for Israel’s defense, we– and they — should heed the strategy outlined by the late Sam Cohen, “father of the neutron bomb,” that the U.S. could substantially reduce aid by stopping essentially dictating their defense options:
Finally, and most importantly as I see it, as an American whose concern for my country transcends by far that for Israel or any other country, if such conditions could be established for Israel’s defense and Israel were given a free hand to defend its interests in the Middle East as it saw fit, like once again bombing political enemy nuclear capabilities, we would have the golden opportunity to get out of that region. It’s been nothing more than a headache to
us ever since we first started meddling around over there and on at least one occasion it’s been downright dangerous, threatening to get us into a nuclear war.
Or, you can keep believing what the string pullers and profiteers want you to believe.
It is difficult to imagine a situation where accurately firing from 1,000 yards would be necessary to defend oneself … We need not conclude that the right to train with firearms is a necessarily protected right under the Second Amendment. [More]
Of course it is, you lying morons.
Leave it to “common sense gun safety” prohibitionists to not want you trained. More likely they just don’t want you to have rifles that can reach out and touch someone…
Fudds take note.
So, no one told this federal court about the Civilian Marksmanship Program, created by federal law, and its Highpower Rifle Competition Rules and Table 7?
Just like the Miller court “[could not] take judicial notice that a shotgun having a barrel less than 18 inches long has today any reasonable relation to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia, and therefore [could not] say that the Second Amendment guarantees to the citizen the right to keep and bear such a weapon”…
The Second Amendment doesn’t have the limits these Sixth Circuit apparatchiks (one appointed by Obama and two by the “Vote Freeedom First President“) presume. And thus they help to advance the likelihood of the very situation they find so difficult to imagine.
The damned fools…

If this doesn’t change, correction, if we don’t change that, gun owners will be telling two supposedly opposite groups they can get away with more betrayals and infringements. [More]
Establishment Republicans and Prohibitionist Democrats just got a pretty good snapshot of gun owner willingness to walk the talk.
I see a Streisand Effect in their futures.
Seems another Democrat had something to say about that once…
Berman, Gipson, and Weber, eh?
I remember that Gipson racist idiot tyrant . I see Pinhead Berman and Gunquack Weber also want men with guns to take away yours.
Hey, if you can ignore the Second Amendment, why would you worry about the First?
Let ’em pass it. Then let ’em try to extradite me.
