Notes from the Resistance
Bear attack in Yellowstone National Park leaves 2 hikers injured [More]
Yes, you can carry a gun in Yellowstone.
The bad news is:
But it’s illegal to fire it – even in self defense.
Just think, the people who enacted and enforce that edict all swore an oath to the Constitution. I wonder what the Framers would have thought about that.
Casey Putsch lost to Vivek Ramaswamy. [More]
I figured he would, but just because you’re outnumbered doesn’t mean you’re wrong.
Barring unforeseen upheaval, I give Ohio 10 years to go solid blue. And our “gun rights leaders” will have played a big part in that.
And talk about a relevant UPDATE
Secretary of State Frank LaRose is prohibited by Article 15, Section 4 of the Constitution of Ohio from certifying Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy’s results in the Ohio Republican Party nomination for Governor of the state until he confirms he is a Citizen of the United States. [More]
I guess the idea of “Heritage Americans” doesn’t seem so “loony” to him about now. Wouldn’t this be a hoot if Casey won by default? Until Swamp Vichycons started helping Amy Acton by sabotaging him because he ain’t in their Big Club…
UPDATE
Frank won’t know until the promised lawsuit:
Based on reports from the May 2026 Ohio primary, there is no evidence that Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose refused to verify Vivek Ramaswamy’s win or questioned his legal citizenship.
Classes have been cancelled at a northwest suburban school on Tuesday after a resource officer misplaced his gun while he was using the bathroom on Monday afternoon. [More]
Who does this guy think he is, Michael Byrd…?
Like the answer is to “review procedures”… And if you really wanted the department to be accountable, Chief Pecora, you’d tell us the goofball’s name.
I had to squeeze in those last two posts but I’m not back yet. Please keep holding off on email tips.
The 11th Circuit joins “several sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of machine guns.” That’s consistent with the Trump administration’s position on the matter, his campaign promises that “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president,” notwithstanding. [More]
Face it, gun owners are voting for who infringes less and accepting excuses for not demanding more.
The May 2026 edition of Firearms News is now available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic. If you don’t see it where you shop, ask ’em why not. You can also subscribe and save.
Today is Primary day in Ohio, and my articles include “Ramaswamy’s Ohio Governor Bid” (pg. 18) and “Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor: The Real Deal When It Comes to Guns” (pg. 104).
I got stuff going on all day. I may be back tomorrow.
Sorry to those of you who emailed links.
[T]he last thing we want, the last thing we in the Second Amendment community want, as I see it, is for the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, or for any circuit for that matter, to come out right now, now at least, and say that machine guns are protected under the Second Amendment… We do not want that next case going to the Supreme Court involving machine guns. [More]
We will never get an unequivocal “shall not be infringed” unless and until there is a credible “or else” attached to the demand.

Saw one of these signs today on the way to market, a house with foot-tall dandelions inserting itself between neatly manicured lawns and making the neighbors’ jobs of keeping them that way all the more tedious and expensive.
They don’t care if they’re forcing themselves on everybody else– as with everything else they either impose or prohibit, they feel justified and if you object you’re a fascist. Never mind that their postage stamp lot will make no difference in the scheme of things, especially when there are untold acres of woods and fields just a walk away. And not to put a damper on bee lovers, but other things grow in such untended underbrush.
These are typical virtue-signaling sanctimonious leftists of the well-heeled Hudson Antifa stripe, the kind who alternate messages to the world like this with “Hate Has No Home Here” rainbow proclamations. In fact, if you take a closer look at what they’re all about, that’s exactly what lives there under the guise of them being more tolerant than everybody else.
It’s like the commie brewer and everyone cheering on his marketing gimmick of “Free beer when Trump dies”– If you think they don’t also wish MAGA voters dead, you haven’t been paying attention.
There can be no peace with such as these, and just seeing how insufferably obnoxious they are, I don’t really want it.
A Dominican illegal alien who is also a murderer in his home country, with both a deportation order and an Interpol Red Notice arrest warrant, was ordered released by a Biden judge after he was arrested by ICE. [More]
They do it with impunity — for now. Let violent leftists prod the country into tit-for-tat and some people are going to remember past “official” injustices.

Where Are Silencers Illegal? State Suppressor Laws in 2026 [More]
Watch the whole map turn red if you add the word “uninfringed” before “silencers.”
Temple Terrace police officer arrested in crash that killed 6-year-old girl: City officials – Authorities said dash camera footage from Temple Terrace police revealed Officer Krug was traveling at a speed of 104 MPH in a 50 MPH zone, just seconds before the fatal traffic crash. [More]
Hey, he didn’t want to be late. Besides, if he’d gotten in trouble for that, he’d have probably used “excessive force and profanity in the field” again.

600 groups with $2B in revenue mobilize 3,000 May Day protests… [More]
I see the overprivileged “Hudson Antifa” apparatchiks plan to air their grievances against being white:
Brought to you by… billionaires…
Are you sleeping, bourgeoisie?
UPDATE
Around five die-hards showed up in the cold and rain holding large, therefore expensive “Workers Over Billionaires” banners. I didn’t see either there.
Easy gun access blamed after 15-year-old shoots, kills west-side woman [More]
Shows you how out of step I am that my first thought would not have gone there…
Funny thing about easy access…
I said so why are you taking my firearms and they said because we understand you’ve been attacked… [Watch]
Oh, look, a subject of the King… That’ll teach him to be “law-abiding.”
He should have asked the confiscators if they had a 27-B-stroke-6.
What do Fudd Tories here think the plan is for them when their usefulness has ended?
ATF’s New Era of Reform… Repealing the Pistol Brace Rule and Why It Means Nothing – Keep the cork in the bottle as it’s not time to celebrate. [More]
Mr. Wolf advises caution (NSFW), whereas the “wise” monkeys will decry that as “blackpilling.”
Boy, talk about timing– this was submitted before the Cekada confirmation. Still, the same people praising him praised this guy. [More]
Disarming anyone disfavored by the state is one of the oldest power guarantors devised by governments, and this happening in Germany recalls another set of laws imposed within the lifetimes of people still living. [More]
It’s déjà vu all over again.
In these troubling and challenging times, there is not much that people agree on. But three far-left, Second Amendment-hating, big-government-loving, cartel media outlets have agreed on one thing. Christine Drazan should be the Republican nominee in the race to replace Tina Kotek. [More]
If you can’t trust your “friends across the aisle,” who can you trust?
