Notes from the Resistance
Louisville Shooter’s Manifesto Details His Intent To Push Gun Control [More]
A former Los Angeles Police Department officer, the subject of an all-stops-pulled manhunt suspected of a double murder in Irvine and the shooting of three Inland Empire police officers, left a rambling âmanifestoâ threatening a campaign of targeted killings directed at LAPD personnel and their family members, and also demanding a renewed âassault weaponsâ ban.
Because you and I can’t be trusted.
US embassy staff in Sudan evacuated amid fighting [More]
What about natives who worked there and those who supplied services and supplies? The Squad could use fresh blood, but I’m not sure those who will now be hunted down and butchered with their families had that in mind…
And what Americans would be staying there? Fortunately for them, there’s no shortage of “commonsense gun safety laws.”
The Case For Making Earth Day a Religious Holiday [More]
Yes, do so. Recognize it for the pagan cult that it is.
And let the First Amendment lawsuits against “laws respecting the establishment of religion” commence.
So, thereâs no right to set a broken bone? No right to an ambulance? No right to heart surgery? No right to, say, atorvastatin? We can outlaw any medical procedure because there no right to one? You see, you donât understand the nature of rights, or the American system of government. Under our system, people are free to conduct themselves as they like, be who they like, live as they like, however they want, as long as their actions donât injure others. The government curtails that freedom only when it must, to protect others, and then only in the narrowest way possible consistent with that protection. Thatâs what freedom is. [More]
Apparently, the right to be free against being dragooned or robbed to service or pay for the above isn’t part of his (?) understanding of the nature of rights or the American system of government.
But thanks for the lecture on what freedom is.
[A] New York state official made a series of thinly veiled threats to regulated financial entities to pressure them to sever ties with a politically disfavored group [NRA]…[More]
I wonder what would happen to someone who made “thinly veiled threats” to tyrannical “New York state officials”…?
That state really is run by arrogant extortionist thugs who believe themselves immune to personal accountability.

Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, said then-candidate Joe Biden wrongly made the letter from 51 intelligence officials claiming Hunter Biden’s laptop was Russian disinformation “seem organic” despite allegedly knowing his soon-to-be State Department chief helped “strategize” it… that letter that became the basis for suppressing the story and keeping it from the American people just days before the most important election we have”… [More]
So Democrats did steal the election…?
Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Steve Dettelbach was unable to define the term âassault weaponâ during his agencyâs Tuesday budget request hearing before a House Appropriations subcommittee. [More]
To channel Nancy, they have to pass the rule before they can tell you what it bans…?
And people can go to prison or be killed over it? How is this not the definition of tyranny?

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.
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?
The multinational software company Oracle is cutting ties with the Global Disinformation Index, a State Department-funded group that the Washington Examiner revealed has been secretly blacklisting conservative media outlets. [More]
That DOJ hasn’t slapped this down hard from the outset is all I need to see to know what we’re dealing with.

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.”
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…?

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!

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

New York City to Track Personal Food Choices Using Credit Card Data – This is needed to fight climate change, NYC mayor says [More]

Hey, if they can do this with food, why not do this with guns…?

No wonder HHS employees donate to Democrats over 10 times more money than they do to Republicans.
On the bright side, if they’re goofing off at home they’re not doing anything to add to the pain of paying them.

Globalists Finally Say It Out Loud: Sex With Minors Is OK â and the UN Is Onboard [More]
Just “OK”?
How soon until speaking out against it is a hate crime?

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.

The governor of Oklahoma has called for the resignations of the sheriff and other top officials in a rural county after they were recorded talking about “beating, killing and burying” a father/son team of local reporters â and lamenting that they could no longer hang Black people with a âdamned rope.â [More]
Speaking of rope, way to give Rachel Madcow & Co. all they need to tie every Republican in with these morons.
And note the authoritarian response: They don’t deny they said it, they threaten to go after whoever “illegally” recorded it.
Seems to be a thing with a certain type…

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.

I’ll be leaving this afternoon for the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis. (Those who caution me not to make public announcements of absences, don’t worry. Elder feral son Uday will be coming over and I’m neither chaining him up nor feeding him.) If you’re going I hope to meet you, assuming you don’t want to punch me out. I’ll be bringing a poll with me that I’ll be doing an article about that should take less than a minute to answer, so I hope I can count on your cooperation.
I’ve got a ton of stuff to do today to get ready, including finishing up an article and maybe drafting a new one if I can get to it. The dandelions here are in full bloom so I also need to take a couple of hours for yard work before the neighbors run me out.
As such, news tips emailed to me that I decide to present here are all going to be linked in this post with no commentary and a mass credit at the bottom. With that in mind, please don’t submit any more from this point on until Monday, and understand that I will not be moderating comments received after I leave until I return.
The following list will be added to as long as I can get to it:
