Notes from the Resistance
Unlike the physical territory and fronts of conventional war, the battlefield of this war is the mind and soul. The goal is to confuse and demoralize the American people — and particularly patriots — through ideological, spiritual, and psychological operations (psyops), and a range of other deceptions. [More]
And they’re counting on the frustrated weakest links to snap and further the chaos and fear.

The “assault weapons” ban legislation that passed the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday not only prohibits AR-15s and AK-47s, but numerous semiautomatic pistols and shotguns as well. [More]
See? They don’t want ALL guns! Just these.
For now.

But with just over two months before the first round of voting, opinion surveys widely show Brazilians think they’d be better off without Bolsonaro. Frustration over the spiraling cost of living has propelled Lula to lead the race by more than 10 percentage points. [More]
And what will be one of the first things Lula does when he’s back in power…?
Too bad most politicians don’t get this. [More]
Actually, I think most probably do.

Rep Cicilline on stabilizing braces: “When attached here, it turns this weapon into an automatic weapon. It becomes a bump stock, and so it will allow that to essentially be fired like an automatic weapon. That’s the danger.” [More]

Sending prewritten letters to some is just a waste of activist time and if this happens enough times their understandable response will be “Why bother?”

“So, to clarify, Mr. Chairman, you’re saying it is the point of the bill to ban weapons that are in common use in the United States today,” the Republican representative pressed.
“Yes,” Nadler clarified. “The problem is that they’re in common use.” [More]
The response will be no laughing matter.

“My friend from Texas, Mr. Roy, advances the so-called insurrectionist view of the second amendment, that the second amendment’s purpose is to give the people the right to overthrow or fight our government or fight the police or threaten armed resistance if the government is somehow being unfair or unjust,” Raskin said. “This reading is totally and absolutely absurd and flies in the face of the place text of the constitution.” [More]
Don’t tell us. Tell Alexander Hamilton:
If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no resource left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government…
That and he’s not your friend, buddy…
SCHIFF BILL TO REPEAL GUN INDUSTRY LIABILITY SHIELD PASSED OUT OF COMMITTEE [More]
It’s instructive to see that the goal really is total disarmament, but the creepy punk is just whoring for headlines here and knows this isn’t going anywhere:

Figures he and his fellow seditious conspirators put the term “Equal Access” in the title of a bill designed to make guns too expensive for “those people.”
Constitutional law expert Alan Dershowitz told Newsmax on Tuesday that the Jan. 6 committee ”does not want the public to hear the other side” of the narrative it is presenting in prime time. “That’s why it didn’t permit any cross-examination, any confrontation, any due process, anything resembling fairness”… [More]
Which is why none of them are interested in publicly questioning why Michael Byrd was given a pass for executing Ashli Babbitt when we all know how this country would have erupted in flames had a white officer shot an unarmed black woman and then been “exonerated” in a behind-the-scenes CYA session.
“Republican” Liz Cheney wants it that way.

The assault weapons ban hearing is going about as well as you would imagine. Booker asks what the difference is between a semi auto rifle and semi auto handgun. When he gets an answer he doesn’t like, he immediately pivots to Dr. Fuddlore pic.twitter.com/3OooAkZYDg

He deliberately spreads a narrative talking point lie about destructive power.
And the “expert” he turns to tells two flat-out lies– first, the VPC deception, that the grabbers refuse to acknowledge because they rely on ignorance:
The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.
And secondly, the history behind the development of the AR-15, confirmed by ATF in a FOIA response:
“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”

How non-violent of hi… sorry, I’m not sure which pronoun to use to keep from offending those asserting their racial and gender superiority over me…
