Notes from the Resistance
A woman has been sentenced to 8 1/2 years in prison after taking part in the straw purchase of a handgun that was used to kill one central Illinois police officer and wound another during a shootout. [More]
So muxh for FOIDs and background checks.
What we really need are commonsense idiot Democrat constituency control laws.

Texas officials charted a private plane to keep sending migrants from overwhelmed border to Chicago [More]
This is just such a non-solution…
How about arrest invaders at the border and force them back across? And if the feds show up, have a standoff?
Who thinks this isn’t going to lead to civil war anyway?
Too bad they’ve ignored their militia duties, and if any volunteers showed up to bolster ranks it’d be damn near impossible to weed out the provocateurs.

‘So angry’: Chris Matthews says dealing with rural Americans is like ‘fighting terrorism’ [More]
I guess we don’t give him a thrill up his leg…
What is it about “Authorized Journalists” not knowing when to stop poking?
Are they really that stupid to believe equating us with ISIS before an election is going to calm anybody down?

Mark McCloskey, Pardoned for Brandishing Guns at Protesters, Can’t Get the Guns Back [More]
And the legal technicality cited will serve what legitimate state interest?
I wonder what the judges would do if a mob of furious leftists destroyed the security gate and trespassed where they live…

‘Chaos’ and ‘fury’ in NYC as officials lose faith in Mayor Eric Adams over migrant crisis: report [More]
Anyone who ever had actual faith in Eric Adams ought to be furious– at himself for being stupid.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

UK Police Given New Power To Seize Large Knives Proves Gun Control Will Never Stop [Watch]
That was passed in August but they’ve been at such foolishness a lot longer than that.

The video posted on TikTok shows three people not wearing police uniforms holding a man down on the ground. An officer then approaches them, and appears to punch the restrained man in the head multiple times. [More]
So how is that not assault with a deadly weapon?

The gunshots killed 14-year-old Devin Baker, who was at the bedroom window of Wallace’s 8-year-old daughter early morning on Dec. 14. “It’s bothering me that he was a kid,” she said. [More]
So is her daughter. Sounds like the apartment managers were rooting for the creeper to get the girl.
As an aside, my spider-sense is telling me there’s more to this story.
[Via Steven H]
The prohibitionists want to sue dealers out of existence and are using spurious allegations parroted by their complicit media partners to add another con to their repertoire of rights swindles. [More]
Does anyone believe Steve Detttelbach’s ATF doesn’t welcome being sued and hasn’t been ordered to find a plausible way to take a dive?
“The problem is, you got way too many kids out there with way too many guns,” the sheriff said. [More]
Sounds more like way too may kids out there with way too few responsible fathers.
And a way for Democrats to demand you and I be disarmed…
Who does a society producing this grade of populace as a mass result benefit? Foreign and domestic…?

Judge declines to stay assault weapons ban ahead of Jan. 1 registration deadline [More]
What are your options when your own government, headed by a morbidly obese collectivist billionaire, makes you a criminal for refusing to surrender your rights and his allied political courts take away all means of peaceable recourse?

How Gun Shops Are Helping Prevent Suicide – Groups have set up arrangements where people in crisis can get firearms out of their homes [More]
The story is paywalled but we get enough from that to get the drift.
Questions I’d like to see answered include should anyone do this without counsel, whether doing this could be used against them later, what liability the gun store would face for returning firearms, who would have to authorize that, what’s the criteria for their decision either way, and if an equivalent of a Miranda warning ought to be required…
And none of that addresses the core truth.
