Notes from the Resistance
“I am shocked and deeply saddened to learn that my estranged son, with whom I have had very minimal contact over many years, is the suspect in this afternoon’s shooting of the two La Vergne police officers… Despite my efforts and guidance in the early and teenage years, my son, John Drake Jr., now 38-years-old, resorted to years of criminal activity and is a convicted felon. He has not been a part of my life for quite some time.” [More]
He sure made a point of distancing himself.

Security video shows three masked men carrying guns shout “Seattle Police” while each trying to kick in the door. The homeowner grabbed a gun and fired multiple shots through the door at the intruders. [More]
Ah, the old Joe Biden Defense worked this time!
Except from the sound of it he may have had one of those guns not suitable for self-defense and made only for killing people…
As always, be aware of The Fauxnly Ones Files, because the day may come when you’ll need a “He was being such a scary thug I did not believe he was a real cop” defense.

Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

St. BENITEZ 2A MISTAKE: Judge Roger Benitez is Great but He MUST FIX One Important 2A Error [Watch]
I still maintain that when it comes to “in common use” and “dangerous and unusual,” just about everybody’s missing the boat.
Is Justice Amy Coney Barrett a TRAITOR to the 2nd Amendment? [Watch]
Again, this is more procedural than anything. That doesn’t mean justice isn’t being delayed and denied for some. I know as an SNBIer, I’m the last person to talk about nuance, but a High Court that can bypass appeals protocols here can bypass it elsewhere, and you’d better believe one with a different composition would exploit the hell out of that.
I’m surprised so many of Mark W. Smith’s followers in the video’s comments don’t seem to grok his points.
But yeah, I suspect if she had her druthers she wouldn’t be a purist. Neither would Roberts, or Kavanaugh, or… and don’t get me started on Scalia.
This is the hand we’re dealt. It’s up to us to play it smart.

The 11th Circuit Court of appeals has ruled that it is clearly established law that even in a state with a “stop-and-identify” law, and even if police reasonably suspect you of a crime, police may not require you to show ID or arrest you if you refuse to do so. [More]
Which won’t stop many of them from doing that or worse if you don’t instantly obey like a terrified slave, while the rest hold back from intervening and keep their mouths shut later…
Remember the first rule of Citizen Club.
“Only Ones” Perilolate and McCabe sound like real badge-heavy acorn-finders, don’t they?
Yet, when these dedicated analysts came to their woke bosses, saying, “We need to pay attention to this!” Their bosses contemptuously dismissed them with something like, “Don’t worry about it” When the shallow and self-centered don’t want something to be true, they “pretend” it’s not true. That’s exactly what happened at Pearl Harbor in 1941, in Vietnam just prior to the Tet Offensive in 1968 (I was there for that one!), and in NYC in September of 2001. [More]
Ephesians 6:12 comes to mind.
The man was arrested for felonious assault and has been charged with kidnapping, abduction and unlawful restraint, reports state. According to the article from the Akron Beacon Journal, the man has been imprisoned three times for kidnapping within the last decade. [More]
A “spate,” huh? Well, they do say “Do what you know…”
I wonder what could have stopped this…?

Our lawsuit was consolidated with five others also suing the governor over her order. Last night, after consulting with our fellow parties, we filed an appeal with the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals challenging the decision on the preliminary injunction. [More]
The state has unlimited tax plunder to use against us. While footing their bill, don’t forget to foot ours.
America’s highest gun death rates are in the South [More]
In Democrat enclaves among Democrat constituencies…
We’ve discussed the rates misdirection before. Just don’t expect the subversives at the oxymoronically-named Center for American Progress, or cheerleading DSM narrative parroters to admit the gaslighting.
So if the problem isn’t guns per se, then what is it?

A former investigator with the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives) is accused of trafficking weapons to Mexico while he was an employee of the bureau in 2017, according to a letter sent to the ATF Director this week by US Senator Charles Grassley. [More]
Jeez, another letter…?
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
I went to Grassley’s “News Releases” page and didn’t see the letter. I asked him for a copy:
Anybody have a link?
I started an AmmoLand article on this but then found another writer was working on it. I’ll wait for that one to see if there’s anything substantive I can add.

David Codrea, in Firearms News reports that “While parallels to the situation in Ukraine are understandable enough to make with this new move to recruit civilians into the defense equation, the biggest similarity (and biggest mistake) is, both nations waited until the wolf was at the door to start the process. [More]
I was talking about Taiwan, but yeah, the parallels are there too.
I’ll take whatever publicity I can get as long as it doesn’t come with a mug shot.
North Carolina and North Dakota Police Chiefs and Federal Firearms Licensees Indicted for Conspiracy to Illegally Acquire Machineguns and Other Firearms. [More]
Amidst all the outrage over Larry Vickers, let’s not forget we all have the right to such firearms the chiefs claimed for themselves but would arrest us for. I also find it difficult to comprehend how an FFL and recognized expert, versed in all the traps and pitfalls, could stumble into such a huge one himself.
