Notes from the Resistance
In an opinion piece for Scientific American, writer Bryn Nelson insinuated that my factual reporting on Drag Queen Story Hour was an example of “stochastic terrorism,” which he defines as “ideologically driven hate speech” that increases the likelihood of unpredictable acts of violence. [More]
Such smears by agents of those who crave power and control seem to be all the rage these days.

Tell us how bad you’ve got it here with white Christian men, militant Democrat chicks.
And keep telling women owning guns puts them at risk.
Big Tech argues they deserve exemptions because they are not content providers. Acting as content deniers, suppressing anything that does not advance a state-approved “progressive” narrative, and facilitating the universal spread of that which does, effectively amounts to the same thing. [More]
How is removing legal content at the demand of Democrat politicians not a de facto First Amendment violation?
Their well planned campaign of influence, backed by substantial economic resources and technological advances, has masterfully manipulated the Western elite, media, entertainment, universities, NGOs, and think-tanks to control the narrative on China. Businesses and politicians have been won over with deals, creating dependencies that China has expertly exploited. [More]

A Louisiana man is fighting in court for the First Amendment right to express satire after he made a joke about COVID-19, and was arrested by a sheriff’s armed SWAT team that confronted him with guns drawn. [More]

If “progressive” spooks have their way, “conservatives” being “canceled” will take on a whole new meaning.
Large-capacity magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not essential to the use of firearms… Additionally, large-capacity magazines are not protected “arms” because they are not commonly used for self-defense. [More]
Since that directly follows an “Overview of Bruen’s text-and-history standard for analyzing Second Amendment claims,” I wonder what Tench would say to that…?
Legal weasel Rob Bonta proves the point that if you limit arguments to “self-defense” and ignore core purpose, you’re not using every means at your disposal.

So, I’m not going to change — as a matter of fact, you know there’s some things I want to change and add to. For example, we had — passed the most bipartisan, we passed the most extensive gun legislation, anti- — you know, rational gun policy in 30 years. And — but we didn’t ban assault weapons. I’m going to ban assault weapons. They’re going to try like the devil [More]

An annual transfer of funds from rich to poor countries, starting at around $2 trillion by 2030 and rising thereafter, is needed for climate “justice” according to a U.N.-backed report released Tuesday. China has been specifically excluded from the demand for reparations, which includes taxes for fossil fuel companies on their global “carbon profits,” even as the Communist state’s greenhouse gas emissions now exceed the entire rest of the developed world combined.

By the end of September, officials representing the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba governments had notified Marco Mendicino, the federal minister responsible for implementing Prime Minister Trudeau’s gun ban and confiscation law, that they would not authorize the use of provincially-funded resources to implement the program within their jurisdictions. Since then, officials in Yukon and New Brunswick have likewise expressed the view that the federal gun grab should not be piggybacked on provincial resources. [More]

Unfortunately, or more likely as planned, the answer to keeping U.S. arms from being smuggled across the border into Mexico is something those screaming the loudest for citizen disarmament and against an uncontrolled northward flow of drugs and illegal aliens don’t want to hear about: Control the damn border.

There is no new thing under the sun and the more things change the more they stay the same. Hey, it’s not like a low-information public deliberately being kept that way will recognize old lies being dusted off and reintroduced as “truths”.

As a result of the passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of 2022, signed into law on June 25, 2022, the NICS Section has been working towards the implementation of an enhanced background check process for persons between the ages of 18-20. The enhancement provides the opportunity for additional outreach and research to be conducted regarding the existence of any juvenile adjudication information and/or mental health prohibition. As a result, transactions on persons between the ages of 18-20 will initially be delayed and the address of the individual will be collected so that the appropriate local and state entities may be contacted. The enhanced process will begin on November 14, 2022, for all transactions on persons under the age of 21 as previously described. Checks on persons under the age of 21 could be extended for a period up to ten business days. Therefore, it is possible for an FFL to be contacted with an updated Brady Transfer Date. As a temporary measure and until the NICS can be updated to provide this information electronically, NICS staff will be calling FFLs to advise of any change in the transfer date. In preparation for calls from NICS, you will be asked to verify your license number and code word. You may wish to have this information readily available for you and your staff. [More]

SAF FILES MOTION TO INTERVENE IN CHALLENGE OF NEW GOV’T. ‘FIREARM’ DEFINITION [More]
I posted the release in its entirety on my WOG Placeholder blog because I didn’t see it appearing on the SAF News page yet, and if I don’t address this now I’ll never get back to it– check there for all case announcements to see how many actions they’re involved in and what they’re doing.
“The victim can be seen on police body-worn cameras telling the police that Mr. Muldrow probably saved his life,” the informational alert concluded. “Many other witnesses on the scene spoke up for Mr. Muldrow’s heroic actions. None of that mattered.” [More]
I interviewed Muldrow for Firearms News to get what happened straight from him.
