Notes from the Resistance
“No more guns,” she says. Ambler, her aide and adviser, tries to clarify that she means no more gun violence, but Giffords is clear about what she’s saying. “No, no, no,” she says. “Lord, no.” She pauses another 32 seconds. “Guns, guns, guns. No more guns. Gone.” [More]
And this still surprises who…?
“Compromise” is treason.
Say, that target wouldn’t be of a “brown” person, would it…?

This part is known and may be cited as the “Safeguard Against Homicidal Side Effects Act.” [More]
So what needs to happen if someone can’t be trusted with a gun? Since when is the Constitutional solution to do an end run around the due p[rcess necessary to make that happen?
Guns & Gadgets calls it “the most discriminating bill ever.”
What the hell’s going on with Tennessee?

These cases have national implications. As you know, similar battles are being fought all over the country with varying results. But now, faced with not only our Federal lawsuits but two other lawsuits whose only goal is harassment, we are being crushed financially. [More]
That’s the plan.

With the General Assembly’s May 4 “crossover deadline” looming, we need a hearing for House Bill 189 (“NC Constitutional Carry Act”) ASAP. If the bill doesn’t clear at least the NC House, it will be dead for the two year session, effectively meaning it can’t be re-introduced until 2025. You helped us pass SB 41. Now help us pass constitutional carry, eliminating the need for a governmental “permission slip” to exercise your Second Amendment rights. With recent passage in Florida, NC is now among a minority of states which have failed to pass constitutional carry. [More]
If you’re a North Carolina gun owner worth a damn you will sign the petition and contact the Republican leadership and Judiciary Committee members. GRNC couldn’t make it easier. If you’re a North Carolina gun owner NOT worth a damn, I doubt if you’re over here reading this.
I do have a nit to pick with my friends at GRNC: I reject the notion that “some gun rights advocates have objected to the lack of a training requirement.” If they do, that makes them gun CONTROL advocates. And you know how I feel about trainers who put the thin green line over principles.
Responding quickly to the adoption of House Bill 1240 by the Washington Legislature and Gov. Jay Inslee signing it into law, the Second Amendment Foundation today filed a federal lawsuit challenging the new statute on Second and Fourteenth Amendment grounds, and is asking the court for preliminary and permanent injunctions.

In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect.

This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”
“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…

Good– Democrat-enabled crime is waking people up to the reality that they’re on their own. But unless he’s physically incapacitated, you gotta wonder what kind of man relies on his wife to defend him.

I’ve made no secret of my disdain for The French Mistake. By the same token, we must never forget that, while we can appreciate them, it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.

New York citizen with 0 criminal record posts photos of a 3D printed AR lower on Reddit. NYPD (and presumably other agencies) magically have all of his credit card records and internet history within days showing “parts” purchases to complete the receivers. NYPD costume-wearing domestic terrorists in uniform show up and arrest the citizen. Seize over $22k worth of his property (including body armor claiming it was “firearm-related”). 6 months later all charges dropped. No items were returned. $10k+ in attorneys fees incurred. [More]

Review: The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900 [More]
In short, if the grabbers are looking for something from the Founding Era to support “historical context” to justify an “assault weapon” ban, they’re not going to find it.
It figures that the lame argument that no one considered the Second Amendment to be an individual right until recently proves to be the exact opposite of the truth. That’s because all the citizen disarmament zealots have are lies.
Yet full-scale civil war is not the only danger. Far-right Americans are highly unlikely to coalesce into a cohesive force that could wage war, but an army is not required to wreak sustained havoc and destabilize the country. [More]
Imagine if, say, just Three Percent decided enough is enough.
It would seem the best way to keep that from happening would be to stop squeezing.
