Notes from the Resistance
The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a request to block state and local laws barring the sale of assault-style weapons in Illinois while a group of challenges to those laws continues in the lower courts. There were no dissents publicly recorded from the unsigned order, nor did the justices provide any explanation for their decision. [More]
I’m going to resist reading more into this for now.

Nevada Gov. Lombardo strikes down 3 gun control bills in first vetoes of session – NV governor said he does not support legislation that infringes on constitutional rights of Nevadans … One bill would have raised the eligible age to possess semiautomatic shotguns and assault weapons from 18 to 21. Another would have barred possession of a gun within 100 yards of an election site entrance with narrow exceptions, while also solidifying language meant to ban homemade “ghost guns.” A third bill would have prohibited owning a firearm within a decade of a gross misdemeanor or felony hate crime conviction.

Supportive feedback is important. Especially noting the antis with their knives out.

In light of the Bruen decision, where âtext, history, and traditionâ of the Second Amendment at the time it was written is what informs us as to what the Founders understood the right to protect, I couldnât turn to the Borchardt â that would play right into the hands of the gun prohibitionists, who, unable to identify Founding-Era infringements have tried turning to later laws, including post-Civil War edicts intended to keep freed blacks disarmed. [More]
Looking back even further in time, we find plenty of examples from the time the Bill of Rights was ratified proving the people of the Founding Era included pistols with shoulder stocks into the broader category of “arms.”
