Notes from the Resistance
If we do somehow manage to help him gain a second term in the White House, we’re going to need to be able to influence what he says and does on guns. And we won’t be prepared to do that if we gloss over the seriousness of his failures. [More]
We need his ear so we can try to influence him before he starts to stray.
my criticism of the right-wing-insurgency conspiracy theory is the lack of meat space networks … bc they don’t exist in the volume required to build an integrated insurgency [More]
And the commies aim to keep it that way. Including by going after easy pickings.
All is not lost, though — if they thought they could, they’d have already tried for your guns.
Like the man said, quantity has a quality all of its own.
That and know your catechism.

The New York State Senate passed legislative measures to advance responsible and effective firearm regulation. The proposed legislation will provide funding for anti-violence education in schools, add reasonable restrictions to the open carry of long guns, establish a ten-day waiting period for firearm purchases, establish a voluntary waiver of the right to purchase firearms, hold firearm industry members accountable for unreasonable conduct, and expand the list of who can petition for Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPOs).

Here’s to the day when such public bragging of deprivation of rights under color of law is seen as a confession of guilt not protected by the Speech and Debate clause…

Attorney General Delivers Remarks at ATF’s Third Annual Chiefs of Police Executive Forum on Crime Guns … First: our work is far from over. Progress is only progress. Our work is not done until all Americans feel safe in their communities. [More]
Boy, talk about slopping the hogs…
What have we learned about “progress“? And “feelings“?
Speaking of which, I don’t feel safe knowing these official swineherds can dispatch their JBTs out to flashbang my house at 3 a.m. if they think I have arms reserved for “Only Ones,” and execute any family member who so much as twitches…

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.
