Notes from the Resistance
Saggio, of West Islip, and his mistress, 32-year-old Dana Ciardullo, of East Meadow, were busted in October alongside Islip gym teacher Steven Arey, 54, and veteran six-time Suffolk “Cop of the Month” George Trimigliozzi, 56, in a sweeping 58-count indictment accusing them of enterprise corruption and promoting prostitution, court records show.

And now he can be a model prisoner.

As the men walked past him, the witness said one of them tried to grab his firearm – a 9mm pistol that was in the witness’ pants pocket. [More]
So he wasn’t just glad to see them…?
What a clown show, all the way around.

USF police say students found an empty 9mm cartridge in Parking Lot 9 on the main campus Tuesday… Tuesday’s discovery came just days after police said an empty gun case and empty ammunition magazines were found in the USF Fine Arts Building. [More]

Yeah, I’m a Life Member, too, and if they sent this out or otherwise publicized it, I missed it.
Tangentially related, I haven’t had the time (or the inclination, to be honest) to find out anything about these guys. If you have knowledge, please educate the rest of us in comments.

Yeah, about that…
It looks like comment posters aren’t buying it.
Careful, GOA. Credit where due is appropriate, but you don’t want to come across too strongly as cheerleading apologists.

The Appellate Court for the 4th District in Illinois has ruled against the Second Amendment, deciding that Gun Owner FOID ID laws are constitutional. [Watch]
I’d say something about this, but I don’t have a state-approved speech ID card.
Besides, I thought permits were a “remedy.”

Huh. We were just talking about “Only Ones” without warrants.

“This authority includes entering an Alien Enemy’s residence to make an AEA apprehension where circumstances render it impracticable to first obtain a signed Notice and Warrant of Apprehension and Removal,” the memo continues. [More]
Here’s the memorandum. So, hyperbole that you’ll no doubt see aside, it’s not “any house.” But that aside, they don’t want us “second guessing” them if it’s the wrong house.
Government ignoring fundamental rights is nothing new– that sites like WoG even exist is testament enough to that. And using “terror” as the hook to spook the herd into acceptance of a heavy hand is also nothing new. You’ll notice Guantanamo is out of sight, out of mind, your average American couldn’t tell you what the FISA Court is, and “we” dutifully submit to TSA groping.
That’s despite the fact that those doing the spooking never found any yellow cake, let the 9/11 hijackers in and failed to follow up on intel, made a mess of Afghanistan…
So what do we do (and I realize I’m just free-style rambling the thoughts that come out)?
Do we call criminals terrorists? What door does that open to expand the classes of people who qualify? Another administration with such power would love to include you and me.
What kind of “circumstances render it impracticable to first obtain a… warrant”? Got legally defensible standards? Against the Fourth Amendment…? Beyond “exigent”…?
If it’s a real terror threat, what should “we” do? Say we’ve got a Jack Bauer scenario, where if the subject doesn’t talk, mass atrocities will be committed.
Do we listen to Sir Thomas More and give the Devil the benefit of law for our own safety’s sake? Or Clausewitz, who knew “Without public support, no war can be conducted successfully,” meaning if it takes Dresden and Hiroshima, so be it?
I don’t know how to untangle the damn mess, but respecting the Bill of Rights, avoiding foreign entanglements, and recognizing that a well regulated militia is necessary to the security of a free State seem like good places to start.
Now: How far are we willing to go to make that happen?

I want you out there in the Second Amendment movement to hear what I’m saying, observe what the Trump administration is doing in terms of enforcing Title 9 against universities and governmental agencies that are thumbing their noses at civil rights, because we can derive lessons from what the Trump administration is doing, lessons from the remedies being sought, lessons from the remedies being imposed upon, in this case, the University of Pennsylvania, and we can draw analogies and come up with new ways for we in the Second Amendment community to basically try to get the Trump administration to do to, for example, those law enforcement agencies that refuse to respect our Second Amendment rights. So, for the purpose of this discussion, remove the words ‘University of Pennsylvania’ in your mind and insert, for example, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department or some other local law enforcement agency, maybe the New York Police Department that issues licenses, insert them in there and then let’s talk about the remedies. [Watch]
Validating precedent for the licensing of a right that “shall not be infringed” is a remedy? This will make those agencies “respect our Second Amendment rights”?
Yeah, trust me, I understand “incrementalism.”
I also carried for 30 years in L.A. without any damn “permit,” so, as always, I never expect personal considered choices from anyone I’m not willing to expect of myself.

It’s with an eye toward determining how these 10 choices were selected for DOJ’s initial offering that prompted this FOIA request. [More]
Let’s see if the new, improved “Second Amendment Task Force” DOJ will be any better at responding to these things than it was under the Biden regime.

At what point are gunmakers going to file bar complaints and sue him for deliberately filing nuisance lawsuits, and courts slap him down for wasting their time with unethical lawfare harassment?
