Notes from the Resistance
The confiscation of Taylor’s possessions, including his computers, phone, credit cards, and of course, his self-manufactured guns, marks the beginning of a legal battle that threatens to land him behind bars for up to 18 years. [More]

Ninth Circuit to rehear Hawaii butterfly knife ban… In its en banc petition, the state only briefly touched on historical arms regulations in its pre-territorial days. However, the state Supreme Court recently harkened back to the Kingdom of Hawaii — which historically levied heavy regulations on weapons — while pushing back on the Second Amendment. [More]
We’re talking Stephen Stamboulieh and Alan Beck’s case,
Judge ReTodd Eddins thinks “the spirit of Aloha” is the supreme law of the land there? I know they had history and tradition– did they have text? And does that spirit mean they’re bringing back Kapu?
Mark W. Smith thinks this may backfire.

“My generation is the generation of mass shootings in our country,” said Democratic Rep. Tim Hernández of Denver, one of the main sponsors of House Bill 1292. At age 26, he’s currently the state’s youngest lawmaker, and he’s just months into his term after being appointed to fill a vacancy. [More]
Tim, of course, is an open borders race-hustling communist subversive who laughed at dead Israeli babies.
And no surprise, he got the exact wrong message out of A Bug’s Life:
Do you let one ant stand up to us then they all might stand up. Those puny little ants outnumber us a hundred to one and if they ever figure that out there goes our way of life. It’s not about food, it’s about keeping those ants in line.
We get that. And we will not disarm.

We’ll see. [Watch]
I’m still hoping my fanatasy of ATF surrendering my property back to me comes true.

Get rid of the guns. In Kansas, Missouri, everywhere. Amend the Constitution and protect our kids. [More]
But no one’s talking about… uh…
Still, I wonder what Clay Wirestone would be able to do to protect his husband and son if needed. I’d never forgive myself if my loved ones were in danger and all I could do was watch.

This is not your father’s Republican party. [More]
Me, I’m remembering when leading Democrats championed the Second Amendment as the ultimate defense of citizens against government tyranny.
Those Forgotten and Ignored 13 Words: Why We Need Our State Second Amendment Militias Back in Force and Effect [More]
Some of us have been saying that for a while, and wondering when the “gun rights groups” are going to give it some of the attention they devote exclusively to “self-defense.”
I have another Firearms News article coming out soon on efforts to ban “private paramilitary” activities.

As reported earlier today, the lawsuit challenging the state’s ban on firearm marketing to youth, known as Jr. Shooting Sports Magazines v. Bonta, got a boost with the announcement that the State’s request for an en banc panel review of our favorable ruling in a lower court was denied, thus securing our injunction win. [More]
Nobody thought totalitarians would just stop at the Second Amendment, did they?
It’s telling, the literature and imagery they DO want young people exposed to.

Today the Illinois Appellate Division reversed a lower court decision that had dismissed a legal challenge to the Cook County tax on firearms and ammunition sales. [More]
That case has been going back and forth for years. I’d reserve words like “huge” for the final decision, whenever that is.

One bill that would make it illegal for people under the age of 21 to purchase ammunition in Hawaii is now in the hands of the Senate. [More]
Haven’t we already established that the Second Amendment doesn’t apply there?
Senate Democrats Propose Bill That Would Criminalize Armed Church Security [More]
What is it Red Jamie and Ed Marxey want us to do?
I wrote an article on the bill for Firearms News over the weekend and expect it will be out before too long.

WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M got a letter published in Scranton’s The Times Tribune.
I’ve always been a big believer in letters to the editor.
Why not try one?
I’ve mentioned before how I love to read books but between the reading I have to do for my professional obligations, the work itself, and my personal life, there’s just not a lot of time. I suppose having a sense of purpose and looking forward every morning to a full day I’m enthusiastic about living is something I should be grateful for, but it does mean making one choice means not making another — for now.
I just finished The Deadly Path, and am finalizing an interview with former ATF Agent and author Pete Forcelli for AmmoLand. Stay tuned.
I also agreed to read The Misinformation Antidote because the author contacted Firearms News claiming “court decisions carry with them the seeds of the [Second] amendment’s future destruction.” I’ll let you know what I think after I read it.
And then yesterday, one of my favorite liberty authors, Miguel A. Faria, Jr., M.D., sent me a copy of his new book, Stalin, Mao, Communism, and their 21st-Century Aftermath in Russia and China. The man knows whereof he speaks and I’m looking forward to reading it and sharing my impressions — just give me a minute.
Turban-wearing Sikh motorcyclists would be free to ride helmet-free in California if Assembly Bill 2392, proposed by Fresno Assembly member Esmeralda Soria, becomes law this year. [More]
And that bit about making no law respecting the establishment of religion, or that other bit about equal protection under the law…? Precedent has been established with the kirpan.
Maybe people could start their own “faith” and claim the same “privilege”? Just not without the state claiming it alone has ther power to recognize “authorized religions” (just like in China!)
Then again, it’s hardly surprising that a “Gun Sense Candidate” views rights as things that can be given or withheld depending on what’s in it for her.
As an aside, I always thought Sons of Anarchy based in California was ridiculous, with the first thing you see with all these lawless OMG warriors is them showing unified submission to the law by wearing their helmets of obedience.
