Notes from the Resistance
[More]
As Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:
This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.
This is more than tyranny. Deliberately undermining “the security of a free State” is treason.

Second…Fourth…Hey, no right is absolute, right?
A member of President Biden’s advance security team has been arrested in Seoul, accused of drunkenly assaulting a South Korean citizen a day before Biden arrived on a visit, police said on Friday. [More]
Hey, there’s a legacy to uphold here…
Denver city council targets “black CCW holders” with new law that violates due process [More]
Considering historic roots and who agrees with that now (try bankrolling billionaire Michael Bloomberg), who but the ignorant could be surprised?

Gun sales have exploded. Funny, that didn’t make us all safer. [More]
What’s “funny” is imagining how safe anyone but the predator would be if defense against attacks was left up to Paul Waldman.
Consider the source.
Langley Outdoors Academy has a chart that pretty much refutes the dweeb’s entire silly premise in one glance. [Watch]

You know, one of the programs that we launched when I first became sheriff was working with a judge for a gun surrender program, and it’s in one of the family courts, and it’s been pretty successful. We do it… we encourage someone going through a divorce if they have a weapon, to be able to surrender that weapon voluntarily and for us to be able to store it safely while they’re going through a situation… [Watch]
It’s all voluntary. You volunteer to surrender it. You just need them to volunteer to give it back.

After the snippy exchanges, one of the officers searches Pesce’s vehicle and finds his police badge — and remarks, “Ohh,” NJ.com said, referring to the hour-plus footage the site obtained. Both officers then turn off their cameras, the outlet said — with their tone markedly different when the cameras are switched back on, with Pesce now being called “chief,” the outlet noted. [More]
I’d say “Now imagine had this been you” except I don’t know anyone who would get himself in this type of disgustingly pathetic situation.

The Arizona legislature remains focused on the state budget and has done little to advance the pro-rights bills AzCDL supports. This is not unusual late in the session and we remain hopeful that some or all of these bills will receive attention before Sine Die, when the legislature adjourns for the year. [More]
If your rep owes gun owners for his position of extreme privilege, let him know you supported him before because you expected proactive leadership in return.
And if my masculine pronoun default offends anyone, good.
“The public will never know the mass shooting we prevent, but I’ll know,” the governor added. [More]
That’s because Kathy Hochul is magic! All you have to give up are your rights!
And never one to be left out of the limelight when there’s fresh blood to dance in is her cheatin’ heart herself, Kirsten Gillibrand.
Say, we never did see this utter phony’s questionnaire answers…
Time off was somewhat restorative, although we both picked up nasty colds that seem to want to stick around (not Wuflu, I tested myself). Getting back into the groove is going to take a bit and I’ve got articles to write and plenty of meatspace chores, so please take it easy on the news tips.
Hopefully, we’ll be fully operational next week.
Now…where to begin…?
Not really, but I am taking a week off for some much-needed R&R.
Until I return, please hold off on comments and news tips, because I won’t get to them.
Who would be ignorant enough to fall for that? Based on results, millions throughout the Republic, citizenship malpractitioners who no longer ask, but demand to know what their country can do for them, voters influenced by emotion over reality and image over substance. [More]
From the party of cognitive dissonance…
From WarOnGuns Correspondent Jess, via email:
“FYI, I got a dangerous, unsecure, somebody’s snooping your shit, website warning when I clicked on the link.”
It may be an attempt to strangle this new blog in its crib. All of a sudden I am also not getting site visits recorded or comments. It’s not showing up on search engines, either.
Hi great reset. Thanks for reminding us as to why the founding fathers included the 2nd amendment in the bill of rights https://t.co/Xf7yYQeK3P

Agreed.
So what is he doing to put weasel-wording Wilton on notice that it’s time to act or feel the wrath?

NRA: Allen West’s Run For Wayne’s’ Job Will Not Prevail In Houston [More]
I have no problem objectively assessing West’s qualifications and capabilities. The membership should insist on that for all positions. We don’t need a popular figurehead, we need a principled leader who knows how to get things done.
That said, HW/Dole/Romney backer David Keene and his American Conservative Union are actively undermining the Second Amendment by greasing the skids for the cheap labor “pathway to citizenship” sellout.
SPECIAL REPORT: ATF Federal Firearm License revocations up a staggering 500% – Biden’s targeting of gun dealers will do nothing to reduce crime. [More]
That’s not why they’re doing it.

NYPD gun violence tracking database draws concern from civil liberties advocates … Critics of the list, which tracks gun violence suspects, worry people of color may be disproportionately surveilled. [More]
So “99%” is the data’s fault? Eric Adam’s supporters aren’t going to be very pleased.
And Michael Bloomberg’s The Trace complaining about racist gun control: That’s rich.
To be consistent, they’d have to put them on the “No Fly List,” which would be the political kiss of death, so it’s easier just to restrict what you and I can have.

ACAT Speakers Bureau Gets the Word OutGet the latest news from the Anticommunism Action Team.
As I read some original coverage of a 2A Task Force created by Donald Trump Jr. last week, it left out way too many details to decide exactly what the task force is and how it will work. David Codrea has concerns, too, and suggests some scrutiny is called for. [More]
Yep. Especially when he says they’re going to use it to support candidates and I see some of the inexplicable ones they’re endorsing…

The last few weeks have been busy responding to attacks on my vote fraud research in Public Choice. [More]
Me too. Blogging about that is what got me “unpublished” over at Blogspot necessitating the migration to this new site.
