Notes from the Resistance
However, there is no reason to necessarily conclude the supreme court will decide this issue in the affirmative, especially with Barrett and Roberts having to be persuaded. [More]
They have shown a proclivity for leaving things to the states.
That would result in the greatest Constitutional crisis of our time, and set the trigger for the avalanche.

That hasn’t stopped Fang Fang or whatever the hell her name is from going back to the mothership for instructions.
Wouldn’t it be something if Kentucky’s succession law change resulted in a special election “promotion” for Thomas Massie?

The NRA has now filed its complaint in D.C,’s local courts, and in it the NRA alleges that the NRA Foundation — now rebranded to The 1791 Foundation — engaged in trademark infringement, cybersquatting, and claimed their sister organization was withholding funds from the NRA proper. The Foundation claims that they have been upholding their fiduciary duties and filed their own countersuit in federal court in Virginia. [More]
Jeez, and the prags and apologists used to call me an NRA basher…

The Westcliffe Independence Day Parade/Second Amendment March had to be canceled. Received via email:
Good afternoon David, We greatly appreciate you letting your readers know about our 2A March that was planned for Saturday. However, the 4th of July Parade has been canceled because of the Aspen Acres Fire that is burning in Custer and Pueblo Counties and has grown to more than 50,000 acres. Several towns (Beulah, Rye, Wetmore) have been evacuated along with dozens of neighborhoods, with many homes and other structures already lost. I would ask for prayers for all of the first responders and everyone being affected by this and all the fires in the region, as well as our great country during these times when so many things are just upside down. Thank you and God bless you.
That’s the spirit that would have marched. That’s the spirit that confirms who is on the right side of things.
George Gramlich was known by the company he kept, and he was a pretty good judge of character.

Have a contemplative Semiquincentennial Independence Day. If you’re not armed, you’ll be doing it wrong. [More]
I turned this one in in May and forgot it was due out, so I guess I lied when I said I’d be back Monday. And as long as I have your attention, check out another day-relevant piece from Firearms News: “It’s not just ‘The Fourth’ or ‘The Fourth of July,’ it’s Independence Day!”
Too much to do to be here. I just won’t be able to keep up with news tips. Please understand accordingly.
It’s good, a victory actually, that people who would like to ban guns – and that, of course, is their ultimate goal – have a sense that it’s not going to happen politically, at least in the near term. But just because they talk about “progress” without prohibitions doesn’t mean they’ve given up on the idea. [More]
Just because “progressive” policies have enabled a subset of violent and resentful morons with a sense of unearned entitlement, anger management issues, and poor impulse control is no reason to make demands against the rest of us being able to repel them.
Coming soon to a caliphate near you. [More]
Thanks, Amy Coney Barrett and John Roberts!
Or should I say “Shkran lak,” or “Gracias,” or “Mahadsanid,” or…?
I’ll be on extremely limited posting for the rest of the week.
I do have one AmmoLand piece I’ll be writing, but for now, chores to prep for incoming relatives and our big shindig on the 4th await.
The U.S. Supreme Court has granted two of the Second Amendment Foundation’s (SAF) petitions for a writ certiorari in both Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, the organization’s challenges to the bans on so-called “assault weapons” in Illinois and Connecticut. [More]

I’m someone else. Feed me:
You cannot import third world people with no connection to the West, no connection to American values, no connection to right to free speech, no connection to the private right to keep in arms in a self-defense focused culture and expect our country to remain the same. You’re moron if you think anything other than what I just said…The most important issue in America when it comes to the right to keep arms and preserving our Constitution is immigration. [Watch]
Gee, I wonder who fits that description. I wonder if Ranjit is going to lecture him on being ignorant if Stephen is going to call him a Unite the Right loser, and if Kostas and Hannah are going to tell him to wait a generation or two.
And as long as I’m on the subject, I wonder why Cam Edwards thinks it’s OK to issue a challenge in front of all his followers and then not inform them of my response.
Or rather, Ed Markey does.
Funny, how all those who disagree still refuse take the challenge…
