Notes from the Resistance
Yesli Vega wins GOP nomination to challenge Spanberger in 7th [More]
I’m told she returned VCDL’s candidate survey and “rated strongly pro-gun rights,” but their PAC can’t endorse federal candidates. That seems kind of self-limiting.
In any case, Spanberger is the goddam enemy.

Supreme Court Gun Record Is Sparse Ahead of Likely Rights Expansion [More]
Not to be all negative and everything, but I’m also expecting them to volunteer more compromising statements like Scalia did in Heller that will feed into the Democrats’ “no right is absolute” deception.
For every expansion, there’s an equal and opposite reduction…
The U.S. Senate voted Tuesday to advance a new bipartisan gun control bill in a procedural move that saw 14 Republicans support firearm restrictions. [More]
What did anyone expect? Courage and principle from career poltroons?
I can’t wait to see the superlatives NRA will use when describing them in its next endorsement.

Edelman CEO on gun safety: 2nd Amendment ‘is just kind of an excuse for delaying’ [More]
Says the multimillionaire heir to a propaganda empire notorious for Astoruturf campaigns.
You “believe in the Second Amendment” my…eye.
You and the rest of you Dick’s.
The pitchforks are coming, overprivileged douchebag.

There’s a Constitutional Conservative Way to End Mass Shootings [More]
The mayor said he’s reaching out across the country and plans to put together a national working group to look at where cities can create no-carry zones: government designated safe-zones, or sensitive spaces, where concealed carry still would be restricted, even after licensing approval. “Because we don’t believe the Supreme Court is going to take up that aspect of it,” Adams said. “We believe there’s room for us to say, ‘OK, here’s where you can’t carry: subway systems, schools,’ we could restrict: ‘Ok, you no longer need a license. Well, here’s the restrictions of where you can’t carry.’ “That is what we’re putting together right now as a Plan B,” the mayor said. “Plan A is for them not to pass it.” [More]
He carries a gun, so he must be one of us! Right, Tucker?

TYRANNY: Michigan GOP Candidate for Governor, Ryan Kelley, Has Guns Taken by Judge for Standing Outside the Capitol on Jan 6 [More]
And the compelling state interest to show he is a violent danger risk to himself and others is…?
If you’re willing to eviscerate the Second Amendment, there’s nothing to stop you from eviscerating the First. And this one, clerking for Merrick Garland after graduation, has never not had her nose in the plunder trough, so coercion for political aims is all she knows.
If they do somehow manage not to blow the “red wave,” which Republican will be willing to strap ’em on, endure the false charges of “racism” and lead the effort to impeach Judge Robin Meriweather?

Gowdy should know all that, but again, we’re dealing with someone who presents the illusion of being “conservative.” [More]
“If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don’t have to worry about the answers.”
Repealing the Second Amendment is the “only effective way to deal” with gun violence, according to CNN senior political contributor Bill Press, who claims it is clear from the Amendment’s text “that it has nothing to do with individual gun ownership; nothing to do with self-defense; and nothing to do with assault weapons.” [More]
Actually, repealing it would not eradicate the right, since ‘[t]his is not a right granted by the Constitution. Neither is it in any manner dependent upon that instrument for its existence.”
I was going to do an AmmoLand piece on this since there are plenty more fallacies. I still may, but other topics are a higher priority for me than this toothless old subversive ignoranus.

Straw-buyer cases are almost never prosecuted unless they are part of a big organized-crime investigation. “Lie and try” cases — in which prohibited buyers attempt, often successfully, to beat the background-check system — are almost never prosecuted at all, which is why Hunter Biden is not in prison on federal gun charges. Possession cases are routinely dismissed without prosecution. [More]
So enforce existing Intolerable Acts?
I take it we can’t count on your support?

Flores, who had 51% of the vote to Democratic candidate Dan Sanchez’ 43% when The Associated Press called the race, will become the first Mexican-born congresswoman to serve in the House. Her family moved to the United States when she was 6 years old. [More]
And we’ve seen what “the highest possible candidate grade” means again and again and again and…
We MUST … encourage LEGAL immigration.
Why, if the vast majority overwhelmingly end up voting Democrat and anti-gun? Or is that the line the cheaper H-1B worker money guys spinning dreams about her promising future told her to use?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”…

[Charlotte] In response to litigation filed by Grass Roots North Carolina (GRNC) and Gun Owners of America (GOA) over delays in handgun permits, a Superior Court judge last month issued a preliminary injunction enjoining Mecklenburg County Sheriff Garry McFadden from further delays. [More]
Good. I figured with four stars and more stripes on his sleeve than a fleet admiral, this important guy’s will was martial law…

This is a man who knows his history.
For the love of God, stop fantasizing about a war between US citizens and their military [More]
I agree. Stop fantasizing.
Ensure the deterrent to prevent it from happening is credible:
“[A]rms like laws discourage and keep the invader and the plunderer in awe…”

I will never comply with a magazine limit. [More]
Huh. Some call that attitude “juvenile at best.”
Things sure have changed there.

WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott Jensen wants some answers from people who don’t dare give them:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said next week she will bring forward legislation to ban military-style assault weapons, as the chamber moves to address gun violence. [More]
It’s interesting watching how they can’t control their obsession to control.
Looks like a line in the sand to me…
I wonder how many others feel that way.

Biden doesn’t even try to make sense. He doesn’t have to. [More]
It all boils down to banning guns and counting on a dumbed-down public to be ignorant enough to vote for cultural suicide.
Missouri Rep. wants legislation to ban teens from buying semi-automatic guns [More]
The lying moron can’t very well “support the Second Amendment in its constitutional intent” if he opposes guns for members of the Militia…

We must identify every individual for their credentials for their mental capacity to bear arms. There should be proper qualifications for gun ownership, and proper testing. One should only own a gun if they’re qualified and schooled.” [More]
Don’t you have someone else’s lines to read?
Instead of targeting guns and gun owners, Trump called for a “top to bottom security overhaul at schools across the country” in a variety of ways; single-point entries, security fences, metal detectors, a school resource officer in every school, and yes, arming teachers who volunteer, are vetted, and trained. [More]
Beautiful.
Now if he only takes those words to heart if he’s ever in power again.
Am I so wrong to doubt he will?
Democrats, we don’t need to concern ourselves with, at least for now—assume they’re all for whatever disarmament edicts they can get whenever they can get them. It’s the Republicans gun owners need to focus on, and there are few surprises here… [More]
Betraying gun owners and drowning the fire in their bellies will break up the anticipated wave before it hits the shore.
