Notes from the Resistance
Aidan Johnston, Gun Owners of America’s director of federal affairs, told POLITICO the group “is closely tracking the FISA loophole allowing federal law enforcement to buy lists of gun owners and concealed carry permit holders without a warrant or regard for the Second and Fourth Amendments.” [More]
The oath-breakers are bound and determined to build that confiscation database.
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discuses the three pieces of huge news where three separate petitions to the United States Supreme Court have been filed asking for review of Illinois’ assault weapon and magazine bans. This, added to the other petition filed last week in the matter of Bianchi v. Brown, means that there is now four separate peititions before SCOTUS to settle this once and for all. [Watch]
You can’t put it off any longer, SCOTUS.
Make your decision.
Some of us have already made ours.

The former president and — legal challenges aside — presumed GOP contender for the office in November, knew just which buttons to push to stoke the boundless enthusiasm of the thousands of supporters. [More]
This is what we’ve got to work with. And work we must.
So I just finished Kurt Schlichter’s new novel, The Attack. It’s a fictionalized account of an October 7 style attack that takes place on a large scale in the United States. It’s also a warning. [More]
I guess some suburbs, but I’m thinking bang for the buck means high population areas without a lot of armed “right wingers.”
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.”

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal challenge of the Illinois ban on modern semi-auto firearms and “large-capacity magazines” have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking certiorari in the case of Harrel v. Raoul. [More]
Be careful that you don’t turn “common use” into a precedential limitation.

The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms have once again petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in their continuing challenge of Maryland’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
How much longer can they avoid the inevitable?
“These fifty laws identified by the Attorney General constitute a long, embarrassing, disgusting, insidious, reprehensible list of examples of government tyranny towards our own people,” Benitez wrote — and such “repugnant historical examples of prejudice and bigotry will not be used to justify the State’s current infringement on the constitutional rights of citizens.” [More]
Yet that’s exactly what Rob Bonta and all Democrats– not just the California ones — are calling for, no matter how much they try to distance themselves with specious, self-serving excuses.
Using their “logic,” they can also use the whip as long as they do it to all of us.
What do we have a Second Amendment for, again…?
[Via Jess]
F—in’ traitors. How is this not judicial insurrection?
In other words, they agree with Democrats and all the “commonsense gun safety law” groups.
Who aren’t morons or just lying about it…

From an email conversation I was having about cops, oaths, and pensions with Hershchel:
I had a similar experience with a “pro gun cop” who claimed to support 2A that I had been corresponding with a while back–
I asked him – since he knew who I was and knew I would not do anything criminal with it – if asked if I let him know I was peaceably carrying concealed and did not have a permit because it is my right to bear arms, would he arrest me?
After hemming and hawing and excuse making, I finally got him to admit he would “have to” enforce the law.
I recall writing this up on the old blog– perhaps even having the conversation in comments under a post — but it’s been years and I don’t have time to try and find it, assuming I even could…
“Our brief is really a look at history,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb. “We have detailed gun regulation in this country dating back to before the Revolutionary War, and our brief explains how the state has failed to provide a single Founding-era restriction on firearms commerce. [More]

One thing I haven’t done is vet candidates for proof of commitment, so use this as a guide but do your own due diligence. I might be able to affect the U.S. Senate race, but I’ve pretty much been redistricted out of having a say in the rest of it.
And yeah, Dolan’s a douche.
All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.

“This bill would stop the sale of weapons similar to those I and many of the other veterans carried in Iraq and Afghanistan,” Helmer said. [More]
Yeah, can’t let the people keep and bear ARMS…
Not just a false authority, but a LYING false authority.
At least enough ratioers knowing better force him to way “similar” instead of “the same gun issued to me.”

ATF argues against California’s demands for ghost gun regulations – California is demanding that ATF change its rules relating to ghost guns. [More]
ATF isn’t grabbing guns fast enough for the people who want it all, want it now, and want it delivered.
Let them expend resources on internecine stuff for a change.
