Notes from the Resistance
Murphy: Gun reform talks won’t include assault weapons ban, ‘comprehensive’ background checks [More]
Those will come later after easier obstacles are hurdled without meaningful opposition. The object is to establish a beachhead without expending too many resources from which they can launch future incursions.
You’d think Republicans would know about D-Day.

This week will determine if there’s a compromise to be made on Capitol Hill to attempt to prevent gun violence or if this round of talks will end up in an overflowing trash can of failed attempts. [More]
Translation: This week will determine if there’s a betrayal to be made on Capitol Hill to attempt to impose citizen disarmament…
It’s almost like DSM “real reporters” have an agenda or something…
Californians enacted the law by a statewide referendum with the unambiguous language that the sentence “shall be” imprisonment for at least 25 years and that prosecutors “shall plead and prove all known prior serious or violent felony convictions.” Nonetheless, directly and openly flouting that law, Gascon ordered a blanket policy of refusing to enter the prior convictions into the record.

All that talk about “our democracy” is just that.

WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott Jensen wants some answers from people who don’t dare give them:
Kim Kardashian says she might eat poop ‘every single day’ to look younger [More]
Encouraging her “fans” to swallow the same crap she does seems to be a specialty with her.
As you’ll see, the most shocking revelation from the interview comes via CBS’s reporter, who relays Gomez’s claim that some unknown officer threatened her with charges of obstruction of justice if she continued speaking out about the cops’ passivity. That would mean jail time for her, as she’s currently on probation for a prior offense. [More]
In the interests of consistency, if priors can terminate recognition of your Second Amendment rights, why should the First be any different?

The confiscation phase is where you’ll see the big impact.
Worldwide study: fewer guns mean fewer gun deaths [More]
Funny. Peter Squires says nothing about this.

Every so often I come across a story that makes me seriously reconsider my discomfort with bringing back public crucifixions.
He also said the suspect has a prior criminal record. Authorities said he had previously been arrested twice, most recently for battery of a police officer and resisting arrest sometime last year. [More]
And who’s fault is it we can’t rely on that as a credible indicator?

I stand ready to vote on ALL the proposals mentioned by President Biden tonight and encourage the Democratic Leader to bring them forward for votes. [More]
Just let them come to the floor without invoking Senate Rule 26?

“…they’re not sure if that person was hit but they did drop their semiautomatic handgun with an extended magazine…” [Watch]
The “real reporter” made sure he got the important part in. The not-so-important stuff, like who the public dangers were, they left unmentioned.
Surveillance and a police presence no longer deter. And they’re ginning up demand that “something must be done,” which translates into more “laws” against you, since talking real solutions puts those who do on the fast track for cancellation.

This will end well. [More]
The BBC changed the testimony of a rape victim after a debate over the pronouns of her transgender attacker, The Times has learnt. The woman referred to her alleged rapist as “him” but insiders said that her words were changed to avoid “misgendering” the abuser in an article on the corporation’s website. [More]
♫ It’s a mixed-up, muddled up, shook up world except for Lola… ♫
We don’t want to microaggress against macroaggressors, now, do we? That might result in retaliation from those who consider the truth condescending and discriminatory. Not to mention more confusion for the African tribesmen…

Following an investigation, the guns were determined to belong to the school’s principal, Geyler Castro, officials said. It was not immediately clear why the administrator brought the weapons to the school. [More]
She doesn’t look like a lefty so I’m wondering what’s going on.
So, we have two guys who started their career into the gun control lobbying “lobby”, that work tirelessly to create a whole new class of criminals (gun owners) if we don’t follow the laws they help get enacted, and they previously worked hard to get ACTUAL criminals breaks and treat them as victims themselves. [More]
It’s almost like they’re domestic enemies who want to destroy Western civilization or something…

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue” …

“You know who didn’t have due process? You know who didn’t have their constitutional right to life respected? The kids at Parkland and Sandy Hook and Uvalde and Buffalo and the list goes on and on.” “So spare me the bulls**t about constitutional rights-” [More]
So “Billy’s mom lets him do it”?
And how did denying others their rights work out for him?
The state agency investigating the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde has determined that the commander facing criticism for the slow police response was not carrying a radio as the massacre unfolded, a Texas state senator said Friday. [More]
This meme sums things up more accurately than any “news” account I’ve seen.

McCormick concedes to Oz in Pennsylvania GOP Senate primary [More]
With racist anti-you-being-armed gun abuser Fetterman carrying the Team Tyranny standard, I don’t see where gun owners are left with much of a political choice — but will predict that when Oz assumes the mantle, we’ll finally see for ourselves the man behind the curtain.

“Baseless,” right?
The trick is getting anyone with reach to notice and care. Instead, when citizen investigators get too close, they’re attacked, “discredited,” and threatened with prosecution.
