Notes from the Resistance
Golden: I have opposed efforts to ban deadly weapons of war like the assault rifle he used to carry out this crime. The time has now come for me to take responsibility for this failure. Which is why I now call on the United States congress to ban assault rifles [Watch]
I wonder who he b**w over at NSSF:

California’s assault weapons ban will remain in effect while a court considers whether the 30-year-old law is unconstitutional. [More]
That a court thinks there’s anything to consider is our first clue that the game is rigged.
I think we all know that the Ninth Circuit is going to side with citizen disarmament and it’ll take SCOTUS strapping ’em on to get a proper ruling–provided the Republicans don’t blow ’24 and the composition of the High Court changes while the clock is running.
Not that that would settle it…

Professor Saul Cornell has long taken the position the Second Amendment does not mean what it says [More]
Or as I like to call him, the Slippin’ Jimmy of the revisionist history movement.
Long before Hamas militants burst out of their Gaza stronghold to massacre scores of civilians with handguns and assault rifles, Iran and its allies had accelerated efforts to smuggle weapons into a different part of the Palestinian territories, the West Bank. [More]*
Something tells me closing the boyfriend loophole isn’t gonna cut it.
It’s almost like we have a Second Amendment for a reason…
I’m sure glad the gaslighters at Axios tell us that “open border” is a “myth”!

Among other restrictions, the law bans the public carry of firearms at designated sensitive locations and institutes a default ban on carrying firearms on private property without express permission from the property owner. [More]
WarOnGuns Correspondent JR asks if a public easement means you can be armed on private property traversed by a sidewalk.

Who else would exploit useful idiots to deliberately undermine that which is “necessary to the security of a free State”?
And in this case, Nebraska’s “Turn Yourself In” diktat further endangers citizens’ rights. [More]
Self-report to the “authorities” or else– just like the Founders intended!
St. BENITEZ 2A MISTAKE: Judge Roger Benitez is Great but He MUST FIX One Important 2A Error [Watch]
I still maintain that when it comes to “in common use” and “dangerous and unusual,” just about everybody’s missing the boat.
Is Justice Amy Coney Barrett a TRAITOR to the 2nd Amendment? [Watch]
Again, this is more procedural than anything. That doesn’t mean justice isn’t being delayed and denied for some. I know as an SNBIer, I’m the last person to talk about nuance, but a High Court that can bypass appeals protocols here can bypass it elsewhere, and you’d better believe one with a different composition would exploit the hell out of that.
I’m surprised so many of Mark W. Smith’s followers in the video’s comments don’t seem to grok his points.
But yeah, I suspect if she had her druthers she wouldn’t be a purist. Neither would Roberts, or Kavanaugh, or… and don’t get me started on Scalia.
This is the hand we’re dealt. It’s up to us to play it smart.

North Carolina and North Dakota Police Chiefs and Federal Firearms Licensees Indicted for Conspiracy to Illegally Acquire Machineguns and Other Firearms. [More]
Amidst all the outrage over Larry Vickers, let’s not forget we all have the right to such firearms the chiefs claimed for themselves but would arrest us for. I also find it difficult to comprehend how an FFL and recognized expert, versed in all the traps and pitfalls, could stumble into such a huge one himself.
[Via Jess]
The argument that commercially available, AR-type firearms are somehow less dangerous or lethal simply because they fire only in semi-automatic mode is misleading. They retain the identical performance capabilities and characteristics (save full-automatic capability) as initially intended for use in combat. [More]
Oh, is that all? Spread that lie under oath!
Also from the linked Exhibit:
As mentioned previously in this report, many of the firearms prohibited by the Ordinances directly trace their origins to those developed for use in combat. As such, these firearms were never initially intended for general distribution or sale to the public.
Except if we’re talking ARs, and of course he is, guess which one came first:
“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”
Tell me this Yurgealitis trough feeder isn’t cognizant of Founding intent and is incentivized by those who fear that and obscure it through gaslighting.
And tangentially related:
As predicted, they’re taking full advantage of Scalia’s critical error.
In re later “Bowie knives” edicts and the like, does anyone have a record of such laws ever being challenged on Second Amendment grounds and such bans being upheld and/or appealed to a higher court?
The Second Amendment Foundation is celebrating a victory in California as a U.S. District Court judge has declared the state’s decades-old ban on so-called “assault weapons” to be unconstitutional. [More]
