Notes from the Resistance
Gov. Kathy Hochul has pulled back the big guns in her subway safety surge, ordering the National Guard not to carry military-grade assault rifles when they check riders’ bags for weapons. [More]
So are those reserved for her timecard cheating security detail?

“The vote on Secure DC is only necessary due to the reckless, pro-criminal and anti-police policies Councilmember Nadeau has championed over her last decade in office,” the Committee to Recall Brianne Nadeau said in a statement. [More]
Not the Democrat who hosted Moms Demand and whose staffer was arrested on “felony charges for assault with a deadly weapon” when he got into a shootout in front of a “marijuana pop up”…?

If it happens there, where authorities not only know they encourage, and where citizens vote for those authorities and view traditonal Americans warning against this as haters and domestic enemies the FBI should be rounding up , how outraged should I be this time?

A Clark County man was entitled to argue self-defense when he intentionally shot toward a person, and was not required to show he intended to kill or harm the man who threatened him, the Supreme Court of Ohio ruled today. [More]
While I don’t recommend warning shots, there’s no one-size-fits-all, it worked, and no one was hurt or killed. If history, text, and tradition are the new standards, there’s gotta be a place for “shot across the bow.”
Inducing someone you don’t know to “back off” seems a perfectly legitimate reason for self defense, especially considering what could have happened.
It’s interesting that the three judges against the self-defense claim were Republicans, with three Democrats and one Republican ruling in the citizen’s favor.

For the third year in a row, the gun shop owned by U.S. Sen. Ted Budd was among hundreds across the country flagged by federal authorities in 2023 for selling weapons that were later traced to crimes, according to newly released records. [More]
Funny, somehow the “real reporter” on this story missed the standard ATF disclaimer:
Not all firearms used in crime are traced and not all firearms traced are used in crime.
If ProShots was suspected of deliberately violating the law, this story would be ab0ut an ATF raid, arrests, and indictments.

Russia Hoaxer Adam Schiff Says He Hopes Intel Community Will Hide Info From Trump [More]
This, of course, is SOP for Democrats, who have no problem breaking the law when it suits them, but froth at the mouth and demand crucifixions should those they hate do something similar.
Case in point, this article at WND:
No election certification if Trump wins, majority of Dems insist. Party would simply not finish constitutional election process.
Don’t count on any of their cult members to do anything but make excuses and counter-accusations. It certainly won’t change any minds, no doubt because thinking is a very different process than feeling.

The Second Amendment Foundation has been granted summary judgement in a federal challenge of California’s One-Gun-A-Month (OGM) purchase law. U.S. District Judge William Q. Hayes stayed his decision for 30 days for the defendants to facilitate an appeal. [More]
And thumbing noses at Bruen will drag on and on and on with the hopes that Republicans blow the election and Democrats can reshape SCOTUS to reverse it.
The Supreme Court has no power to enforce its decisions. It cannot call out the troops or compel Congress or the president to obey. The Court relies on the executive and legislative branches to carry out its rulings. In some cases, the Supreme Court has been unable to enforce its rulings.
I’d need a lawyer to weigh in on whether they could charge inferior court judges with contempt for disregarding their rulings, and they’d still be dependent on the other branches. I fear the only “legal” remedy is impeachment, for which Republicans have neither the power nor the appetite.
So now we have to see what Hayes says in a month, and then see who initiates an appeal, then lather, rinse, repeat.
Police seeking suspect in unprovoked pepper spray attacks on Green Line [More]
The little sociopath knows he can get away with it and the rules will protect him from encountering anyone with the means to stop him.
Huh. It doesn’t say “pepper spray”…

Exclusive: U.S. Must Move ‘Decisively’ to Avert ‘Extinction-Level’ Threat From AI, Government-Commissioned Report Says [More]
So it doesn’t just want us to serve and worship it?
Maybe the Republican “leadership” can work out the same kind of “bipartisan” arrangement with Biden as they got on the border.
Can NICS be used for purposes for which it is not federally authorized? [More]
It makes fair the question “What else could the prohibitonists use it for?”
“Oscars red hand pin” as per the DSM [More]
And now, the rest of the story.
Skip Coolzip’s never around when you really need him.
The analogy of undocumented immigrants to British loyalists is interesting. If a law-abiding, former enemy of the state could possess a firearm, an undocumented, but otherwise law-abiding, immigrant seems less extreme in comparison. [More]
He’s not “otherwise law-abiding.” He is an invader in possession during the commission of a crime.
The Obama judge is doing this on purpose to undermine Bruen.

Youngkin’s moves on gun bills are a preview of what could be many more vetoes to come on dozens of gun control measures Democrats sent to him this year, including legislation restricting access to assault-style weapons. [More]
I wonder how Jorge and pals are taking that…

Sergeant Michael Gillis is seen on video striking Herndon with an M4 rifle and using a stun gun…“They kind of chuckled and said, ‘Hey, we must have mistaken you for the bad guy,’” Herndon said. [More]
So who is it bearing the weight of the badge again…?
[Via bondmen]
He had a badge, his car had emergency lights, he pulled people over — but he wasn’t a cop, authorities say [More]
As always, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need an “I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.

“I just said a prayer last night that I hope my greatest fears don’t come true, and that’s that South Carolina becomes the Wild, Wild West,” Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told The Post and Courier. [More]
I wonder why the Democrat feels that way.

Police documents show the daughter of Sen. Louise Lucas is facing a citation for allegedly carrying a weapon into the terminal at Norfolk International Airport (ORF). [More]
If it wasn’t for hypocrisy, gun prohibitionist Democrats would have no standards at all.
Why do the words “gelding” and “cow” come to mind…?

“The prospect of Rand Paul leading Republicans in the Senate should excite every liberty lover in America,” Staggs said. “The uniparty has done so much damage to our country, and it’s time to reverse that. We need someone who understands federalism, someone who is America First, someone who understands we must solve our problems at home rather than nation-building. We need Rand Paul.” [More]
I’d be willing to give it a try:

Guns now deadlier due to tiny attachments made by 3-D printer [Watch]
They say that like it’s a bad thing…
And like the Founders didn’t consider “every terrible implement of the soldier” to be “the birthright of an American,” and “necessary to the security of a free State.”
See, here’s the thing– I know I can be trusted not to abuse my right to arms, and so can everyone I’m friends with.
So what do we do about those who can’t?
The answer certainly isn’t controlling you and me.
And the genie is out.

Cheney and her committee falsely claimed they had “no evidence” to support Trump officials’ claims the White House had communicated its desire for 10,000 National Guard troops. In fact, an early transcribed interview conducted by the committee included precisely that evidence from a key source. The interview, which Cheney attended and personally participated in, was suppressed from public release until now. [More]
My only question is why aren’t we hearing this from Speaker Johnson and Leader McConnell?
