Notes from the Resistance
“Congress did not grant EPA…the authority to devise emissions caps based on the generation shifting approach the Agency took in the Clean Power Plan,” the majority wrote, referring to an Obama-era power plant regulation. [More]
Agencies need Constitutionally-delegated authority and the executive branch can’t just usurp powers? Who knew?

Montana has a progressive state supreme court, but a Republican legislature and governor. The result? The state supreme court is striking down laws passed by the legislature — such as gun-rights legislation. Today’s decision of the Montana Supreme Court in Board of Regents v. State, written by Justice Laurie McKinnon, ruled that the state constitution gives the Montana Board of Regents of Higher Education authority over the Montana University System, and it was thus unconstitutional for the Legislature (in a bill called HB 102) to preempt the University System’s ban on carrying guns on campus… [More]

And the judges are elected, so don’t look for the state that gave us “pro-gun Democrats” Jon Tester and Max Baucus to throw the bums out. Especially with all the newly arrived nest foulers from California!

Tuesday, Sen. Anthony Portantino, a Democrat from Glendale, introduced legislation that he said would “update” the state’s concealed carry law to make it more restrictive, while also complying with the highest court’s latest dictate. [More]
Any doubts this will pass, and challenges and appeals will drag on for years?
UPDATE
And not to be outdone, New York decides to push things to the limit and beyond.

Because nothing establishes causation like agenda-motivated correlation!
And everybody knows permitless carry gives “prohibited persons” a free pass!
Doesn’t it?

So when is NSSF going to lead the industry in telling New York to go to hell when it wants guns and servicing for its enforcers?

It’s too late. If they were inclined to, they would have stopped it by now.
Look for the Vichycons to double down on betrayal.
The campaign to discredit Cassidy Hutchinson has begun [More]
Leave it to The Los Angeles Times to cover up the disconnects and act as a megaphone for the kangaroo court.
The plan, of course, is to goad the agents into appearing so they can betray the trust of their appointments and be asked questions to elicit recollections of statements that can be used to further smear.
Question: Can’t the committee compel testimony if it really wants it?

He likes their kind of citizen disarmament laws, too! Except for his protection detail.

States with higher rate of gun ownership do not correlate with more gun murders, data show [More]
So the grabbers have been lying to us?
Hey, has anybody ever done a study on states with higher rates of urban Democrats?
Aceves’ father was brought in for questioning and told investigators that Aceves had mental illness in the past and had been placed in a mental health facility twice at the age of 16. The father said that Aceves was prescribed medication but that he stopped taking it after a couple of years. Aceves’ father told police that his son had purchased an assault rifle and that family members are scared knowing he has a weapon based on his past behavior. [More]
So who declared him safe enough to let out and why wasn’t refusing his meds grounds to put him back in?
Aceves’ father sounds like a great example of responsibility.

A man who shot and killed a passenger on a San Francisco subway commuter train will be charged with gun crimes but not homicide in what was “clearly” a case of self-defense after he was attacked with a knife, his attorney said Monday. [More]
When having the means of self-defense is illegal, the law is criminal. I think that’s why they’re reducing the charges to misdemeanors because they know that under Bruen standards, felony charges would result in a high-profile challenge and community anger over racist standards.
