Notes from the Resistance
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley on Tuesday proposed forcing social media users to verify their identities before posting, citing “national security” concerns. [More]
What could go wrong?
Publius was not available for comment.
Now that she’s let her inner fascist out, I don’t see her putting it back in …
‘Nationwide gun emergency’ discussed by U.S. House Democrats at roundtable meeting [More]
Did they tell any jokes?
As long as this is off-limits, can I talk about Raskin being a communist?

There’s a reason they want us disarmed.
What’s clear from both the Illinois and the California cases, is prohibitionist Democrats, thwarted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, will leave no right unabridged in their totalitarian obsession with controlling everything. [More]
If freedom prohibitionists can take the guns, what’s to stop them from taking everything else?
Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Wynn A:
The sentiment of gun owners seems to be if it isn’t ‘registered’ the powers that be don’t know about it. Fools errand. As witnessed with Katrina the goons will go door to door and forcibly search all buildings. The citizens of New Orleans went along with this outlandish conduct. Will today’s Americans do the same?
By the time they’re at your door, it’s too late.
Depending on the area, I have a feeling that if this starts in any significant numbers, many confiscators will end up more concerned about what’s coming to their door.
More to the point, what is the mental state of some ignorant Marxist hoplophobe who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment and thinks Americans who do will allow themselves to be disarmed?
This New Bill Would Shorten the Suppressor Waiting Period to 90 Days [More]
Oh, look: Master is going to loosen his whip hand.
I’ve got some Chore Boys that’ll shorten it a lot more than that.
It figures the same Fudd community that throws EBR owners under the bus would be all for enforcing and enhancing this Intolerable Act. Here’s the thing: I don’t hunt. To force me to pay prior restraint extortion before I can buy a gun or ammo is no different than a poll tax.
So how else would “we” pay for it?
How about how else would those engaging in those activities pay for it?
That’s where the “laboratory” of different states trying different things would show what works best– on lands outside the District that are not “Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings.”

A male Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. supervisor in San Francisco invited employees to a strip club. A supervisor in Denver had sex with his employee, told other employees about it and pressed her to drink whiskey during work. Senior bank examiners texted female employees photos of their penises. All of the men remained employed at the agency. [More]
And when the house of cards collapses and burns, ordinary lives throughout the land are ruined, and the elites get richer, how many of the derelict guards who let it happen on their watch while they ignored their duties and reveled in self-serving corruption will be called to account?
And why is the insider, whose desk the buck supposedly stops at, not even mentioned? What color is his parachute?
At least any bank left standing will still have Merchant Category Codes…
NYC Mayor Eric Adams leads call for Speaker Mike Johnson to pass assault weapons ban [More]
Anything to add, Tucker…?
UPDATE
Suddenly the need for alternative headlines becomes clear:
Eric Adams had cellphones, iPad seized by FBI as part of corruption investigation
Watkins… testified that she … never heard any commands for her and other Oath Keepers to enter the building on Jan. 6, 2021… Rhodes … told jurors that there was never a plan to attack the Capitol. He testified that he was surprised and upset when he learned that some group members had joined a pro-Trump mob in storming the building… [More]
New York man who saved woman from subway mugging by scaring off would-be robber with warning shot arrested [More]
The only question here is who’s the more execrable tyrant functionary: Richard “We don’t tolerate this kind of conduct in NYC Transit, period” Davies or Jerry “The defendant was on the street with a loaded, unlicensed gun“ Iannece?
The state can’t protect you and will punish you for protecting yourself or others.
Who would consent to be governed by that?
The administrative and deep state has been so successful in capturing and manipulating media and related communication (largely via CIA, FBI, CISA and intelligence community infiltration) that they are able to seamlessly deploy advanced modern propaganda, PsyWar technologies and financial giveaways to control all narratives and information which might otherwise cause the majority of the electorate to check their actions, and in this way they completely avoid accountability. [More]
Oh, look, electoral victories!
I wonder what Harry and Meghan are up to today…?

“It used to be that if you allowed a man to get naked in front of a woman in the workplace that is instantly a violation of civil rights law,” Severino said. “That’s the quintessential hostile work environment, subjecting women to that. Now, the policy says to the women who may be uncomfortable with that situation, they’re the ones who have to leave.” [More]
And that’ll soon be a crime.
I’m waiting for the first lawsuit when a store demands employees wear compulsory name badges with pronouns and one refuses. (And naturally, the creature behind the celebratory “artwork” is a communist.)
How can it be “seditious conspiracy” if the ones you oppose are in-your-face usurpers of undelegated powers?
Indiana Supreme Court Rules Property Owners in Civil Forfeiture Cases are Entitled to a Jury Trial [More]
Better than nothin’, I suppose…
The Catch-22 being, if they have property they won’t qualify for a public defender and will be forced to risk complete ruin trying to recover what was stolen… Meanwhile, the thieves get all legal expenses paid “courtesy” of unlimited hostage plunder.
I still want me one of them Leathermans…

Campus Reform went to the DC pro-Palestine rally. Activists tried to get us arrested. [More]

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a challenge to the Montgomery County Sheriff’s effort to conduct warrantless searches and seizures from licensed firearms retailers in the county have filed a brief in response to objections by the defendants, in support of an application for summary relief.

Farrant gave evidence that the shooting began at 1:40 p.m. at the Al Noor mosque … The gunman was caught by police at around 2 p.m. [More]
That’s an excellent response time. And utterly useless at stopping the carnage.
What’s the one thing that could have?
So naturally, the communists in charge made the proles even more helpless.

“There’s no reasonable excuse to have a knife in public – they are dangerous, they can be used to harm other people,” Queensland Police Minister Mark Ryan said. [Watch]
Same goes for guns unless they’re carried by his enforcers.

One way to keep a balking population in line is through the time-tested method of tyrants – cowing it into submission by making a highly publicized example of prominent members, which the J6 “uprising” at the Capitol more than provided. And no one was more high-profile in Oath Keepers than founder Stewart Rhodes, sentenced to 18 years in prison for “seditious conspiracy” and “obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings.” [More]
Part Three wraps up my series on why those in power are bent on utterly destroying the one concept that could render them powerless: Enforcers learning they have the power and the duty to say “No.”
N—a wanted to carry a gun in the Wild West. Not on my watch haha… Think I give a f–k what y’all n–s think?!???? I’ll shoot you too!!!!! [More]
Remind you of anybody…? The oinker not only didn’t get canned after that but he got promoted (pg. 3)
And I never did find out what happened to the double-tappers…
U.S. Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee and Chair of the Subcommittee on Criminal Justice and Counterterrorism, reintroduced the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, legislation that would require individuals to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing or receiving a firearm. [More]
I can’t wait for him to flesh out his enforcement plan.
What we need to know (for now):
5 Cosponsors (5 Democrats)
Prognosis 2% chance of being enacted (details)
There is a plan underway to close the great open spaces of the American West to you, me, our children, and our children’s children. The federal government — which owns most of this land — is determined to move from a “use and let use” system of accessing Western public lands to a permission-based system that will mean reservations, permits, and closures.

Hey, what happened to Article. 1. Section. 8. Clause 17?
