Notes from the Resistance
White House threatens to veto GOP resolution against its pistol brace ban [More]
Was there ever any doubt that it was anything but symbolic, with no chance of going anywhere?
Let’s see what the Republicans do if they keep the House and regain the Senate and the White House, that is, if they don’t blow it.

Illinois’s legal brief seeks to defend their recently-enacted “assault weapons” ban by arguing that the lethality of these semi-automatic firearms means that they may be banned consistent with the 2nd Amendment. Mark Smith discusses this lethality argument here. [Watch]
Because the last thing you want to do when fighting armed attackers is kill them!
Be sure to also open up Illinois’ brief and Smith’s review on Beccaria, linked under the video.

They have unlimited resources to drag things out until the bitter end.
That said, it’s also entirely appropriate to show how the so-called “justice system” treats the president’s son and a highly connected Democrat apparatchik differently than it does people of modest means and people of color FOR THE SAME CHARGE. [More]
It’s a big club Hunter Biden and Nikki Fried belong to, and unconnected black people ain’t in it.
While Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposal for a 28th Amendment is an admirable effort to confront the gun violence epidemic, a better proposal would be to repeal and replace the 2nd Amendment through Congress and the states. By replacing the convoluted language of the 2nd Amendment with a list of specific rules for gun ownership, gun violence can be reduced. [More]
I see Bob Ladendorf is as inconsequential a fool as he always was.
You kind of get the feeling that some people were pantsed once too often in high school…

Some insurance companies currently offer different types of coverage for firearm liability under homeowner, umbrella and renter policies because there is not a specific exclusion. However, most insurers do not offer separate stand-alone gun liability coverage and no insurer would provide coverage for illegal or “criminal” acts, such as mass shootings. [More]
So what we’re talking about is a special punishment tax for the “law-abiding” being fraudulently offered as a sop against violent crime.
Knowing what kind of rights swindlers are behind it could have told us that.

I agree.
I’d just like to see the way around the speech or debate clause fleshed out.
“I have a message tonight for Merrick Garland and Jack Smith and Joe Biden — and the guys back there in the fake news media, you should listen up as well, this one is for you,” Ms. Lake said. “If you want to get to President Trump, you are going to have go through me, and you are going to have to go through 75 million Americans just like me. And I’m going to tell you, most of us are card-carrying members of the N.R.A.” [More]
And many of us are Wine Club members!
Or shouldn’t we believe that people who can’t even elect a new board can impact the fate of the government?
Didn’t Oath Keepers say essentially the same thing about the vote certification?
So what’s this, defeatist language?
No, I’m just saying Kati Lake shouldn’t involve others in her grandstanding, particularly when she has been powerless to do anything but make noise about Arizona. And I’m the NRA. I’ll decide when and if to answer a muster call, and I’m not 100% on having the back of someone who so often doesn’t have mine.
It sounds more to me like she’s bucking for a Vice President spot on a ticket we might not see happen.
Besides, if and when things go kinetic, expect it to be unexpected.

Neocons in the 80s and 90s used to warn people off of the CoS rout always bringing up the runaway convention argument. Amendments proposed by the CoS still have to be ratified by 38 states, thus killing worries for runaway conventions. We all know congress will NEVER vote to limit themselves, so lets try a CoS. We are already quickly headed down the path the late great Mike Vanderboegh warned us about repeatedly. [More]
I’d be careful about invoking Vanderboegh’s name to make your case.
As for the “38 states” redirect/deferral, I see nobody’s considering what’s happening all around us, every day, with no end in sight…
In other words, they’ll be able to enact any damn ban they want to, up to and including a total prohibition on “civilians” owning guns… [More]
But “no one’s talking about taking your guns,” right?
This mailer was sent to me by longtime WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H, who is of the opinion that primary competitor Marie March is the better RKBA choice:
I’m not in a position to weigh in, so leave it to those of you who are to make your case in comments, below, if you’re so inclined.
I will say it’s refreshing to see candidates competing on who is most pro-RKBA.
We have some good news to announce, in that Minnesota and Nevada added North Carolina permit reciprocity. [More]
That’s a good first step. Now on to permitless…
Of course, that requires involvement…
The state has been relying on “expert witnesses” who are attempting to prove that early firearms do not have the capacity of modern firearms. Why you need “expert” witnesses to prove this is hard to understand. But the notion that our constitution only protects things in existence 200 years ago is odd when the argument is taking place in a courtroom filled with computers and flat screen TV’s, fed by the internet, and protected by metal detectors. [More]
Add a Catch-22 on “ripeness” and you get a feel for what they’re up against.
Meanwhile, the Republicans continue to hold fast on denyng a quorum, so “Attaboys” to them.

And that’s what these stupid, sheltered white women have been swindled into believing they want – an executive order that “includes a total ban on all guns and a comprehensive, mandatory buyback program.” You don’t have to read any more of the proposal after that—you got the crux of it. [More]
Thanks to impatient radicals coming right out and saying it, no one can any longer deny that “common sense gun safety” is code for “Ban and confiscate all guns.” Well, they can, but they’ll demonstrably be lying.
