Notes from the Resistance
China’s New Export Restriction Choke Hold on Critical U.S. Ammunition Components, Are You Prepared? [More]
No, if course I’m not prepared. No one is prepared for the larger issue of critical material supplies that can be cut off at any time in the hands of those who want to eat us.
And that’s just the way the men behind the curtain want things.
Unlike FOIA requests, which can ask for records, the committee can ask questions and has subpoena power to cut through to the chase and get them answered. [More]
Getting a simple question answered shouldn’t take an act of Congress, presuming House Oversight Republicans will act…
Gun Death Statistics by Caliber: A Review of Calibers and Crime in 2024 [More]
It’s important to know not only for everyday carry decisions, but because the antis will use it against us every chance they get.
Judge shoots down Cabela’s bid to stymie Delaware probe into thousands of rounds of ammo shoplifted from Christiana Mall store – One thief says she stole 500,000 bullets because security was lax. For 18 months, the retailer has fought a state subpoena seeking loss-prevention records. [More]
Not that we can take her word for it, but still…
Coming from a policies and procedures background, this appears all so unnecessary, especially for a corporation with such organizational resources to ensure compliance.
I’ve never shopped in one. Anybody know if Cabela’s records ID information with ammo purchases?

Massachusetts Senators Ed Markey and Elizabeth Warren sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) asking it to “closely examine” facial recognition-enabled ammunition vending machines that have recently been installed in supermarkets in certain states. [More]
Yeah, why does it need to ID us?

At about 4:50 in, they talk about the FOIA request appeal.
That all that was produced was copies of non-responsive CFR sections makes it fair to surmise such information will not be voluntarily provided because it cannot be provided. [More]
Ask a simple question — get no answer…
Ammo vending machines may soon arrive in Florida grocery stores [Watch]
Sorry, but they lost me at Number 3.
Actually, they already lost me at “built-in AI technology, card scanning capability and facial recognition software.”

Hawaii’s Democrat Gov. Signs Bill Barring People Under the Age of 21 from Buying or Possessing Ammunition [More]
The Kapu Tradition lives on in the post-Igeocracy.
They know they’ll end up losing and the money could be spent on needed things, but they don’t care. And no one will hold them to account because stupid citizenship malpractitioners dominate the population.

Thankfully, the House of Representatives has passed GOA-backed H.R. 615 which would END Biden’s backdoor attempt at banning lead ammo. But now, we need your help urging the Senate to stop Biden’s lead ammo ban. [More]
It’s time once more to show we’re not the ones throwing them under buses.
And this one has a chance of passing, too:
Prognosis 52% chance of being enacted
I imagine guys like Tester and Manchin would be hard-pressed to vote against it…

Turks and Caicos revises firearms law after arrests of several Americans [More]
I’m sure freedom and justice were the prime motivators.
Y’hear that, Mighty Judge? Vacation’s still on.

“Senator Kennedy is concerned about Czechoslovak Group’s potential acquisition of Vista Outdoors because it could make the U.S. Army reliant on a sole U.S. contractor for ammunition and U.S. law enforcement agencies more reliant on foreign providers of primers and ammunition” … [More]
How long Alliant’s absence from the reloading marketplace may last is unknown. [More]
This is a job for… Joe Biden…?
To make funds available for the preservation of commercial manufacturing capability for defense grade nitrocellulose.
With the way he’s going these days, he’ll probably instruct ATF to write a rule declaring cotton an NFA item…

On Thursday, US District Judge Frank P. Geraci denied a request by gun-rights advocates to block enforcement of a New York law requiring ammunition sales to be handled by a licensed dealer and subject to a background check for the purchaser. He determined that the law fit within the country’s historical tradition of gun regulation… [More]
So bring back the Slave Codes while we’re at it. eh, Obama appointee?
Historical anachronisms like colonists requiring loyalty oaths from Catholics were rendered unconstitutional by the Establishment clause ratified by the Framers…
Anything to avoid “shall not be infringed” from these robed punks…

Can NICS be used for purposes for which it is not federally authorized? [More]
It makes fair the question “What else could the prohibitonists use it for?”
The two letters show opposite assumptions about reality and the role of governments. The NY letter assumes guns are bad, and ordinary citizens should not have guns, because ordinary citizens do bad things with guns. The letter from the 28 states assumes government is subordinate to the people, government must defend the nation, and an armed population aids the government in defending the nation against all enemies. These two assumptions about reality are in direct conflict. [More]
We are, in fact, two countries divided by the fundamental difference of principle on the question: Does the government serve the people, or do the people serve the government?
Today the Illinois Appellate Division reversed a lower court decision that had dismissed a legal challenge to the Cook County tax on firearms and ammunition sales. [More]
That case has been going back and forth for years. I’d reserve words like “huge” for the final decision, whenever that is.
[Via Jess]
One bill that would make it illegal for people under the age of 21 to purchase ammunition in Hawaii is now in the hands of the Senate. [More]
Haven’t we already established that the Second Amendment doesn’t apply there?
All the prohibitionist laws and lawsuits have the same goal: To drag things out long enough for the Republicans to blow it so they can reshape SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
