Notes from the Resistance
Held: The Administrative Procedure Act requires courts to exercise their independent judgment in deciding whether an agency has acted within its statutory authority, and courts may not defer to an agency interpretation of the law simply because a statute is ambiguous; Chevron is overruled. [More]

The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department responded to a burglary on the east side Thursday morning, where two people allegedly wiped the shelves of a grocery store clean. [More]
Now imagine several orders of magnitude.

Mother demands answers after son is among victims in series of shootings in 24 hours in Lancaster [More]
I have questions, too, starting with “Mom, where was your husband in that clip?”
Or are we not allowed to extrapolate from generalities? Because those who say we need more “gun control” sure do.
Is the answer really more police, or is that just a reaction to an effect?

A Uvalde County grand jury indicted fired school district police chief Pete Arredondo and another district police officer more than two years after a mass shooting that left two teachers and 19 students dead. The two ex-cops face charges of abandoning or endangering a child. [More]
Yo, parasites, over here!

NFL Socked With $4.7 Billion-Plus Verdict in Sunday Ticket Antitrust Case [More]
Gee. That’s too f*****g bad.
Don’t give aid and comfort to the enemy. That many gun owners still do is a real head-shaker.

Biden Admin Has the Nerve to Accuse Trump of Exploiting Migrant Crime Wave [More]
When your default position on never letting a crisis go to waste is to blood dance, project, and lie, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised.
I’m more interested in why PJ Media is calling invaders “migrants.”

Illegal Alien From Turkey Accused of Raping 15-Year-Old Girl… The border patrol arrested Akkan in the San Diego sector on November 5, 2023… Authorities released Akkan a few days later “on his own recognizance due to a lack of bed space and ordered to appear in a Philadelphia court on Feb. 19, 2025.” [More]
The question is not only “Why do we need such a government?” but “Why shouldn’t we ‘alter or abolish‘ it?”

Following Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy’s push for more gun control under the guise of declaring “gun violence” a “public health crisis,” the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms announced its support for the proposed Protecting the Right to Keep and Bear Arms Act, sponsored by U.S. Senator Mike Braun (R-IN).

Prognosis 0% chance of being enacted
Revisit this after November and see if the numbers have changed.
The justices in a 6-3 vote on nonideological lines handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including former President Donald Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. [More]
That’s great news. But once again, Amy Coney Barrett casts doubt on her appointment.
She gave us Bruen, but as the saying goes, “What has she done for us lately?”
While Barrett’s confirmation should give gun owners a degree of hope and should certainly be viewed as more positive than a Biden nominee being placed on the High Court, we’ll need to wait and see if the gun groups or the gun-grabbers are right in their assessments. Republican appointments have disappointed in the past. Warren Burger and David Souter coming to mind.
Back to J6, that means hundreds have been falsely accused, arrested, prosecuted,and imprisoned. Who will pay?
Democrats are still out there smearing them as insurrectionists and traitors.
Who do these people think they are?
Or the University Daily Kansan…?
At least they’re not Ryan J. Reilly… who earned his own special Fauxtoshop…
The Supreme Court struck the ban down, making it clear that if you wanted to ban bumpstocks you had to do it the right way, which is the way the Constitution outlines, which is actually passing a bill through Congress and having it signed into law by the president. [Watch]
“Left unsaid is where Congress derives such authority in the first place, as the power to regulate and ban arms is nowhere delegated to it in the Constitution. The only clear mandate is ‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ By any branch of government.”
Change my mind. Show the section and clause.
I expect our would-be leaders to know this stuff.
On June 30, the Joe Foss Shooting Complex at Buckeye Hills Regional Park will close. The current permit holder, who has managed the range for the past six months, was notified last month that the permit would not be renewed… The decision has been made to transition the Complex to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO). [More]
I’m told the MCSO has a facility next to it but they have access to other ranges in the county that are LEO-only, and I’m wondering if there’s any anti-armed citizen political motive behind this, and if we can expect more.
Maybe we should start with what the prior permit holder has to say, and then look into if a FOIA request for correspondence between decision makers is called for.
If you know anything about this, feel free to educate us in “Comments.”

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, is joined by GOP Candidate Michael Baumgartner, a former State Senator now running to be the Representative to the US House in the 5th Congressional District. Michael is part of a very crowded field of both Repubicans and Democrats vying for this open seat. Today we ask Michael lots of questions, but most imprtantly, what sets him apart from the other candidates for this race. So learn more today so you can arm yourself with education [Watch]
The district is winnable for Republicans, so this isn’t a waste of time.
Know the race, the candidates, and where they stand on the issues. Anybody got any info on the other Republicans? If I can find time I’ll look, but just putting their names into a search engine and adding “+ gun” is a good starting point.
