Notes from the Resistance
Texas Gun Club Files Federal Lawsuit Challenging 1986 Machine Gun Ban [More]
Wait… they’re suing “this Department of Justice [will] use its full might to protect the Second Amendment” Pam Bondi, appointed by “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president” Donald Trump…?
Hey, they’re just following orders. If you don’t like the law, vote to change it. That’s what they told Rosa Parks, isn’t it?
Right, Blue State gun owners?
But…but…but Amy Swearer…
Y’ever get the feeling the Judas Goats might be leading the herd, and no-compromisers like NAGR are the ones we should have been following…?

With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]
There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?
A new major federal court case has just been commenced in the US District Court of Hawaii challenging the state’s ban on non-residents being able to carry handguns in the state for self defense purposes… Alan Beck has set forth an impressive set of 35 pages of historical material that arguably can give rise to… a constitutional right to conceal carry nationwide.

In a just world, text, history, and tradition trump Kapu tradition.

Gov. Gordon didn’t mince words when discussing the Second Amendment Protection Act. He called it an “embarrassment,” noting all 23 sheriffs in Wyoming oppose it. The bill currently sits on the governor’s desk. He vetoed a similar bill last year. [More]
So, “law and order Republicans” can be every bit the impediment Marxist Democrats can be…? Who knew?

Rep. Thomas Massie addressed that and more when he introduced a House version (HR9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act) in 2024. Going back to that article reminded me that NRA downgraded him for voting against industry-approved gun control.
In a move that has triggered debate among gun rights advocates and lawmakers, West Virginia Senate Bill 1071, commonly referred to as the “Machine Gun Bill,” will not proceed in the current legislative session. Senate President Randy Smith (R-Preston) announced his decision to block the bill, citing what he calls significant legal and drafting issues rather than any opposition to Second Amendment rights. [More]
Yeah, “shall not be infringed” opens itself up to all kinds of interpretations and procedural snags.
The March 2026 issue of Firearms News, including my articles “Gun Prohibitionists Siding with DOJ on NFA Registration” (p. 10) and “Gun-Grabbers Demand More Defenselessness after Brown University and Australian Shootings” (p. 12), is no available at Diverse and Inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic.

DeStefano has refused to turn over customer lists, and thus has been singled out for total destruction as an example to any who might defy the orders of the violence monopolists. [More]
He could minimize his ordeal tremendously if he would just give up customer names. But he won’t. So Letitia James is going to make an example of him.

I hate to spoil all the rave reviews from “our side,” but he said not one word about the Second Amendment. [More]
Why?
Biden had no problem attacking it.
Republicans are quick to pledge their “staunch 2A supporter” creds when the audience is just us gun owners, but when it comes to the Republic as a whole they avoid it. My guess is most of them don’t really understand it well enough to use their position as a bully pulpit, to champion it and educate their constituents on why it is such an important shared right. That absolutely needs to change, and the “gun lobby” needs to step up its game to teach them how and make clear it’s an expectation.
If gun owners let them take us for granted, they will.
Working in the president’s favor: The Democrats were sour-faced and seething. I doubt many of their voters’ minds were changed though, and that’s especially puzzling because the working class was presented with a lot of reasons why their economic interests have been, are, and will be better served by the Republican agenda.
I will give Trump credit for what may be a powerful and useful meme if the Republicans are smart enough to use it:
If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support: The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.
Republicans should show their Democrat opponent who did not stand as part of their midterm campaign. It won’t work against treasonous communists like Omar and Tlaib who “represent” demographically-engineered parasite districts, but it could be an effective reminder in closer races.
A minor image criticism: An aide should have quietly taken him aside and straightened his hair before he entered the chamber. The left side looked like somebody took a leaf blower to it. The night was, after all, ultimately about image.
A self-inflicted vulnerability:
I’ve always wanted the Congressional Medal of Honor, but I was informed I’m not allowed to give it to myself, and I wouldn’t know why I’d be taking it.
I’d expect someone like Mark Kelly to have a field day with that one, and for the DSM to amplify it. Then again, Kelly did not stand.
