Notes from the Resistance
Yet again MORE financial conflicts of interest with IL Supreme Court Justice Rochford [More]
Not that the new and improved DOJ cares…
Abusive Discretion picked it up, but none of the “gun groups” are incentivized to mention it.

Colorado semiautomatic gun restriction bill one step closer to becoming law – Senate Bill 25-003 passed the Colorado House on Monday and heads to the Senate for another vote. If it passes, it would then go to Gov. Jared Polis’ desk [More]
Where the hell is SCOTUS?
Yet ANOTHER example of bias/Conflict of Interest with anti-gun IL Supreme Court Justice [More]
More on Elizabeth Rochford…
And ARFCOM News noticed DOJ indifference, @ 5 minutes in…
[Via Non_Fudd’s Ghost]
Yet despite clear evidence of bias, thanks to a U.S. Department of Justice official policy of deliberate indifference, such judges will remain on the bench. [More]
What’s that John F. Kennedy quote about making peaceful revolution impossible…?
It’s taking care of our immediate needs. However, the Founders bequeathed us a constitution intended “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” If this is all we concern ourselves with, what are we bequeathing to them? Semiautomatic firearm technology that’s already 140 years old…? In a world where technological developments and breakthroughs are being introduced seemingly exponentially, what new “terrible implements” will become standard issue in the next 140 years? [More]
In avoiding legal traps today, care must be taken not to catch ourselves in a more dangerous one tomorrow.
Chilling surveillance footage showed one of the club’s security guards – who appeared to be wearing body armor – calmly raising his weapon as he steps in front of cowering clubgoers diving to the ground below. [More]
“Commonsense gun safety advocates” would rather he and the sheep he protected had been slaughtered.

Like something out of the Gremlins movies, Senate Bill 25-003 was amended well past midnight to transform from a near all-encompassing semi-automatic ban into a permit-to-purchase scheme reminiscent of Illinois’ FOID cards. [More]
From a Rocky Mountain Gun Owners email:
Without any public testimony or stakeholders, radical anti-gun Senators changed SB-003 from an “Assault Weapons” Ban to the implementation of an Illinois-style Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card! … Under this rebirthed version of SB-003, the weapons previously banned under this measure could only be purchased if gun purchasers, like you or I, voluntarily enter themselves into a statewide gun owner registry (fingerprints and all) maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation!! … And worst of all the only way to obtain this permission slip is to pay out of pocket and spend hours at an anti-gun propaganda course from the government!
You know, just like the Founders intended.
And, of course, you’ll not need ammo for those guns we won’t let you have…
Colorado Democrats intend to bring you to heel.

Related UPDATE
EXPOSED: Outside the floor debate of SB25-003, bill sponsor Sen Tom Sullivan, harassed an individual from a Colorado gun rights organization who had left a box of petitions in his office from Sullivan’s own constituents, and he repeatedly called the petitions “trash”. [More]
It’s not just petitions Democrats call “garbage.”

Although the sponsors have attempted to sell this legislation as a bill that would “close a loophole in Colorado’s magazine capacity limit laws“, it took all of 90 seconds for gun owners and activists to realize this had nothing to do with magazines at all, but was instead a sweeping gun ban cloaked in lies, and once the complex and technical language was broken down, it became apparent how severe it was: worse than anything we have ever seen before. [More]
And when they get that, they’ll go after something else, because of course they’re talking about taking your guns.
[Via cydl]
Three new gun control bills have been filed, including one of the bills we have been anticipating. First, SB279, a ban on the sale or transfer of semiautomatic rifles was filed today… Second, SB244, a ban on minors possessing firearms with exemptions was filed… HB12, the expansion of New Mexico’s “red-flag” gun confiscation law will be heard in the House Judiciary Committee. [More]
And naturally, Democrats didn’t want to talk about permitless carry…

So what’s the deal with Snope and Ocean State…?
David Snope, et al., Petitioners v. Anthony G. Brown, in His Official Capacity as Attorney General of Maryland, et al… Jan 21 2025 DISTRIBUTED for Conference of 1/24/2025. [More]
Ditto for Ocean State Tactical v. Rhode Island.
Will they hear either? Can they hear one on semiautos without hearing the other on magazines?
And if we tune in tomorrow, will they again tell us to come back Monday to find out?
Gov. Jared Polis said Thursday night that a ban on the manufacture and sale of semiautomatic firearms with a removable ammunition magazine isn’t his preferred method of tackling gun violence, but he’s not fundamentally opposed to the idea. [More]
That’s a Democrat’s idea of “compromising” on guns.
When is SCOTUS gonna stop with the stalling and put an end to this clearly unconstitutional subversion?

House Bill 12 by Rep. Joy Garratt (D-ABQ) allows law enforcement officers to bypass the need for a “reporting party” and go straight to filing a petition for an extreme risk protective order based on information collected by the officers — allowing them to be the sole source and mechanism by which an order is issued. [More]
And there’s another that makes owning attachments a felony.
Obey or be destroyed.
SB25-003, Colorado’s newly filed “Assault Weapons” Semi-Auto Firearm bill will ban all rifles and shotguns that accept detachable magazines, along with many semi-auto pistols that accept detachable magazines. If enacted, the Colorado Attorney General would have the power and authority to further define the nuanced and often contradictory bill language. [More]
They’re just trying to help their goals along.

Bet the breeder sow and sperm donor are real prizes…
No, of course we can’t tell you who he is so you can thank him for adding fuel to idiot Dana Polehanki’s fire.
Boy, times sure have changed.

The 2A Attorneys in Gray v. Jennings Delaware “assault weapon” ban litigation have filed a submission to SCOTUS as the three AR-15/Magazine ban cases continue their move through the Court’s consideration process. Mark Smith Four Boxes Diner discusses. [Watch]
That’s a counterpoint to this.
January sounds like the month we’ll learn either way if this and related cases will be considered/consolidated or punted again.

The petition for a writ of certiorari should be denied. [More]
The state that inflicted Joe Biden onto the political scene says banning semiautomatic rifles and magazines doesn’t infringe on the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
Mark W. Smith ties it in with related cases SCOTUS is considering. And I continue to be suspicious of relying on “common use.”

The case of Snope v. Brown has been distributed for the Supreme Court’s conference for December 13. Previously styled Bianchi v. Brown, the cert petition challenges Maryland’s “assault weapon” prohibition which the Fourth Circuit upheld en banc earlier this year… Now for a deeper dive. [More]
Stephen Halbrook confirms, among other things, what a f-ing idiot “Reagan Republican” Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III is.

But the Second Amendment isn’t an inkblot on the Constitution. It means something. Can that possibly not include a right to own the gun that claims to be America’s bestselling rifle? [More]
Is it an arm?
Then the right of the people to keep and bear it shall not be infringed.
Anyone who says otherwise is just a liar.

Canada on Thursday announced a ban on 324 assault-style firearms in a continued effort for more stringent gun control. Leaders in Canada also said that they are working with the government of Ukraine to see how the guns can be donated to support the fight against Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. [More]
What do we expect from subjects of the Crown?
It’s not like it will do any good anyway. Ukraine started out showing such promise and then decided it didn’t trust it’s people, either.
