Notes from the Resistance
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.

Until then, extremist judges will continue to tear down the will of the American people. [More]
“NRA puppet”? What does it say about someone who doesn’t see what he’s doing here?

The argument that commercially available, AR-type firearms are somehow less dangerous or lethal simply because they fire only in semi-automatic mode is misleading. They retain the identical performance capabilities and characteristics (save full-automatic capability) as initially intended for use in combat. [More]
Oh, is that all? Spread that lie under oath!
Also from the linked Exhibit:
As mentioned previously in this report, many of the firearms prohibited by the Ordinances directly trace their origins to those developed for use in combat. As such, these firearms were never initially intended for general distribution or sale to the public.
Except if we’re talking ARs, and of course he is, guess which one came first:
“Colt sent a pilot model rifle (serial no. GX4968) to the BATF for civilian sale approval on Oct. 23, 1963. It was approved on Dec. 10, 1963, and sales of the ‘Model R6000 Colt AR-15 SP1 Sporter Rifle’ began on Jan 2, 1964,” one critic of the article contended. “The M16 wasn’t issued to infantry units until 1965 (as the XM16E1), wasn’t standardized as the M16A1 until 1967, and didn’t officially replace the M14 until 1969.”
Tell me this Yurgealitis trough feeder isn’t cognizant of Founding intent and is incentivized by those who fear that and obscure it through gaslighting.
And tangentially related:
As predicted, they’re taking full advantage of Scalia’s critical error.
In re later “Bowie knives” edicts and the like, does anyone have a record of such laws ever being challenged on Second Amendment grounds and such bans being upheld and/or appealed to a higher court?
Police say 40-year-old Samantha Woll, president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Detroit Synagogue, “had been stabbed multiple times” and blood trailed from her home in the Lafayette Park neighborhood… [More]
And the one thing that could have given a woman alone a chance against a brutal assailant with a knife is what Dana Nessel doesn’t want to allow any of us to have. By virtue of her also working with Elissa Slotkin, I’d say Samantha was on board with that as well.
And here’s a real stumper for you. No speculation, please! How telling that a leftist Democrat politician publicizes himself by saying don’t exploit this for political purposes.
I guess we no longer have a spate.
Hamas terrorists were directed by their leaders to target elementary schools and youth centers in Israel to “kill as many people as possible” during their bloody sneak attack over the weekend, according to a report. [More]
Without kneejerk buying into all claims by parties with vested interests, I’m just wondering how many “pro-Palestinian” leftists are also against arming teachers here.
There’s an idea– a pressure campaign on the gun-grab groups to get them to condemn Hamas, and when they refuse and come up with some equivocal weasel words, sic both leftist sides against them.
Two can play at divide-and-conquer.
ULLA SELLA ‘n all that…
But Lloyd says “No worries” on “kinetic military action,” and before you say “Oh bullsh!+,” I defy you to think of even one incident where our government has ever lied to us about something important.
Oregon again says students don’t need to prove mastery of reading, writing or math to graduate, citing harm to students of color [More]
That’s one way to make excuses for the subversive scam of teachers’ unions, where incompetence is a feature, not a bug. Create chaos and dependency through indoctrination and ignorance, and add in importing pathway-to-citizenship foreign nationals whose countries can somehow churn out employees with superior technical abilities on a pittance of what we spend per capita on students, and you have all the ingredients for control — of all kinds.
Not that our “single-issue gun rights leaders” dare notice…

Guess who else would benefit. [More]
Tell me that creepy idiot, the Dotard in Chief, doesn’t look and sound like a crazed Dr. Strangelove character. (Look at his forehead and eyes and then look at earlier photos— is he Botoxing to surreptitiously deflect age concerns with an illusion?)

That’s not what some are claiming.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Federal prosecutors have charged seven with conspiring to smuggle more than 1 million rounds of ammunition and high-powered weapons into Mexico. [More]
Would it be considered bad form to ask where they’re from and whether border control might work better than gun control?
[Via Jess]
Like geofence warrants, keyword warrants cast a dragnet that require a provider to search its entire reserve of user data—in this case, queries by one billion Google users. Police generally have no identified suspects; instead, the sole basis for the warrant is the officer’s hunch that the suspect might have searched for something in some way related to the crime. [More]
Ah, the old Inspector Clouseau theory of policing…
So what happens if you use Duck Duck Go?
