Notes from the Resistance
Michelle Obama scolds Americans over gun rights: ‘Unfettered access to firearms’ is ‘not a good thing’ – Michelle Obama urged young people to vote to stop gun violence [More]
If it’s unfettered, where’s my new bargain-priced mail-order machine gun?
And “no scandals,” eh?
Washington governor poised to sign massive ‘assault weapons’ ban, says it ‘will save lives’ – Bill will ban the sale and manufacture of dozens of semiautomatic rifles in Washington [More]
Because nothing says “security of a free State” like requiring the Militia of the whole people to engage a military threat with inferior armaments.
If SCOTUS doesn’t end up ruling such diktats unconstitutional, it’s game over for peaceful resolution outside of leaving the abusive “partner,” and that’s assuming the power-drunk headcase doesn’t resort to violence if that happens.
Funny, how we don’t call women who leave a relationship under such circumstances “seditionists.”
Pro-gun conservatives continue to stress that most gun owners are responsible, reasonable and law-abiding. [More]
If we weren’t, you’d know it. This whole business of “He was a law-abiding citizen until he wasn’t” is just the way these liars try to swindle the thoughtless into accepting disarmament for everybody.
So it should be easy for them to prove it through a tough but fair licensing process.
Ditto for stupid DSM apparat-chicks!
And when they behave irresponsibly with a weapon that they know full well was designed to kill, then we must hold them fully accountable â including with criminal charges and serious jail time. Truly reasonable, responsible and law-abiding people would accept no less.
Yeah, no problem with that once suspects have been given full due process and found guilty. But every time we point to Soros prosecutors putting known predators back into the general population, her lot calls us “antisemites.”
And using “Boomers” to disparage individuals and disregard who they are solely because they fall within a larger group they had no control over is flat-out bigotry.
Right along with “white privilege” and other Marxist lies.

This bill would prohibit, commencing on January 1, 2027, a licensed firearms dealer from selling, offering for sale, exchanging, giving, transfering, or delivering a semiautomatic pistol, as defined, unless the pistol has been verified as a microstamping-enabled pistol. The bill would also prohibit a person from modifying a microstamping-enabled pistol or microstamping component with the intent to prevent the production of a microstamp. By creating new crimes, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. [More]
Just in case Bonta wins…?

Recently, Fred Edgecomb, who has been affiliated with both the NRA and its state affiliate, the NC Rifle & Pistol Assoc., was heard claiming credit for passing Senate Bill 41 to repeal NC purchase permits and expand concealed carry into churches sponsoring schools. GRNC members should understand that neither NRA nor NCRPA had any apparent role in passing SB 41. NRA lobbyist DJ Spiker only showed up at the last minute, and we are unaware of any significant action by NCRPA. In truth, it was GRNC volunteers who sent alerts, packed committee meetings, walked legislative hallways, and deluged legislators with input. [More]
The latest GRNC alert requesting support to pass permitless carry is out. All I have is their email and my WoG Placeholder blog didn’t display html right. If I see a working link from GRNC anytime soon I will update this post so those interested can go to where they can see and click on action items.
UPDATE
Colorado gun control bills progress; semi-auto ban unlikely … The other gun-control proposals that have found broad Democratic support include strengthening red-flag laws, raising the firearm purchasing age to 21, opening the gun industry up to legal liability and installing a three-day waiting period after buying a gun. [More]
Just like the Founders intended!

UPDATE
David B. Kopel addresses the “many false and deceptive statements” the antis are using to try and swindle the citizenry out of its semiautos.

House Judiciary Committee to Vote on Overturning ATFâs Pistol Brace Rule [More]
That was yesterday. I’m not seeing anything on the committee’s news release page or Twitter feed yet.
In any case:
“The bill with the resolution will face a tough battle to get through the rest of Congress before heading to the Presidentâs desk. Even if it does get to Bidenâs desk, there is almost no chance that the President will sign it into law since he has been openly hostile to gun rights. The Republicans do not have the votes to override a veto, even if some Democrats switch sides.”
The true test will be what Republicans do if and when they have the power to see things through.
A federal appeals court Tuesday ruled to keep an Illinois state-wide “assault weapons” ban in effect, denying a request from a business owner who claims the ban is unconstitutional. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decided to uphold a lower ruling by U.S. District Judge Virginia Kendall, who found the ban to be “constitutionally sound,” despite the request for an injunction… [More]
Kendall was nominated by George W. Bush.
The Seventh Circuit has seven Republican appointees and three Democrat appointees.
Have a contemplative Patriots’ Day!
I got the above certificate along with a U.S. flag that had been flown over the Capitol back when I was still living in CA. It’s a constituent service that members of Congress provide for a nominal fee (20 bucks and up these days, depending on size and material). My dedication message read:
“In tribute to the Citizen Patriots of Lexington and Concord who resisted confiscation of their armaments on this date in 1775, and in continued defiance of all who would infringe on the Right of the People to keep and bear arms.”*
I did it because my “representative” was a big gun-grabber and refusing a pro-RKBA commemoration would have been a First Amendment violation.
With that in mind, there are plenty of other dedications antithetical to “woke” orthodoxy that could be submitted. To find out how to order one, go to your rep’s website and find the “Sevices” link.

Sturtevant said he regretted his vote in 2019 for a Red Flag bill that ultimately was left to die in the Senate Finance Committee. âI whiffed that,â he said. [More]
You whiffed more than that, you principles-devoid coward…

But what are due process protections when it comes to the governmentâs intentional deprivation of a constitutionally protected right, or even a constitutionally protected âpropertyâ right, through ex parte proceedings? [More]
Well, we could go with the stare decisis version and defer to past acts of judicial tyranny, or we could go with a historical understanding to be guided by Amendments IV, V, and VI…
That treacherous wretch Bill Lee has established his legacy.
[W]e are not doing ourselves or those depending on us to stand for freedom any favors if we deliberately ignore Trumpâs willful failures on guns. Because this is going to end one of two ways â strengthening his renewed bid for a return to the White House, or ending any chances of it. If he wins, we need to be able to collectively influence his 2A decisions and judicial appointments and get him to understand what the bad ones are before he makes them. If he loses, we need to be ready to do the same with whomever the Republicans nominate to carry the standard. [More]
Gun owners need to look and assess with no illusions if they hope to have any influence on how power, once granted, is ultimately wielded.
Another Federal Judge Rejects the DOJ’s Argument That Cannabis Consumers Have No Second Amendment Rights [More]
And then there’s action on the restraining order front…
I’ll bet a lot of “prohibited person” exclusions could be overturned with the right case, starting with the “one year” nonsense that has no bearing on proven proclivities for violence.
âThat is not a political issue. But it becomes one when Kentucky Republicans would rather ban books and pronouns and then make Kentucky a sanctuary state for weaponsâ [More]
Of course, it’s a political issue if you think you can vote on rights. And it’s not a question of banning books, it’s a question of not exposing children to sexual exploitation by deviants.
Speaking of banning books…
Have you ever met a gun-grabbing Democrat (but I repeat myself) who wasn’t a chronic and habitual liar?

Opinion: Founding Fathers would want gun control today [More]
Just because William Lambers says so.
Forget all the research, scholarship, and documentation to the contrary– the useful idiots agreeing with him have no interest in confronting their ignorant prejudices with reality.
Interesting though, how “progressive” liars presume to speak for historical figures they also decry as racists. Kind of like when they lecture us about what Jesus wanted.
[Via Dan Gifford]
âIt also suggests that we have seen a paradigm shift in this country, that now Republicans see the anti-gun violence movement as being more powerful than the gun lobby,â Murphy said. [More]
And Vichycons like Bill Lee and the “bipartisan” Quislings aim to prove him right.
Republicans as a party just don’t seem to understand that ultimately, they need Americans who will not disarm more than we need them.
[Via Jess]
Americaâs unique, enduring gun problem, explained [More]
Well, I just wasted five minutes waiting for them to explain it and they parroted a bunch of BS narrative but never once touched on the actual problem.
