Notes from the Resistance
Within hours of police arresting a suspect in the fatal shooting of three University of Virginia football players, the White House called for an assault weapons ban even though the suspect was alleged to have used a handgun in the killings. [More]
It’s not like anyone ignorant enough to vote for them will know.

Pritzker aims to ban assault weapons, expand abortion… [More]
And that’s not all, by a long shot.
There’s net worth and then there’s net worth.

So, I’m not going to change — as a matter of fact, you know there’s some things I want to change and add to. For example, we had — passed the most bipartisan, we passed the most extensive gun legislation, anti- — you know, rational gun policy in 30 years. And — but we didn’t ban assault weapons. I’m going to ban assault weapons. They’re going to try like the devil [More]
Flesh out what confiscating them will look like, Joe.

I was shooting a 6mm ARC rifle… [More]
Hold the phone just a damn second here…
Over at the Wilson Combat site, they say “The 6mm ARC was designed by Hornady to be the highest performance long-range cartridge available in a standard AR platform rifle. Initially tested and fielded by US Special Operations forces…“
“Combat…”?
“Special forces…”?
Mr. Biden’s not going to like that.
You think hogs have Kevlar vests..?
It’s almost like the antis have been lying to us about hunting. Or everything.
I’ve been corresponding with Herschel since like forever, but we’ve never met in real life and I don’t recall if I’ve ever seen a picture of him before. It’s nice seeing him looking vigorous and happy, which, knowing you’ve achieved something through your efforts, perseverance and skill can bring out in us all.
A federal judge on Friday dismissed a lawsuit from Florida’s agriculture commissioner that challenged a ban on medical marijuana patients’ rights to buy and possess firearms. [More]
So when are they going to arrest her?
And no, of course, I don’t agree with the ban. I just can’t help but notice she’d be happy to arrest us for “violating” citizen disarmament laws she agrees with.
I wonder if the “conservative” High Court’s Bruen decision with its “historical understanding” benchmark will end up saving her.

Gov. Ned Lamont said this week that he wants to go after thousands of firearms legally kept in Connecticut under several “grandfather” provisions in the state’s decades-old assault weapons ban… [More]
What, the ones Connecticut gun owners naively registered?

White House on recent gun violence: ‘Enough is enough’ [More]
Gee, that’s the same theme Slick Willie is using. Must be a coincidence.
And yeah, my first thought on hearing about Takeoff was “If only they’d disarm me…”
Nothing like an immigrant defining what guns we can have…

Boy, that packs in a lot of lies. Nice to see he hasn’t lost his touch.
One question: Should Juanita Broaddrick have been armed?

Rand says ATF should consider using its authority to reclassify certain types of firearms that are easily converted into fully automatic weapons, similar to what they did in the 1980s with the KG-9 and the MAC-10. Lots of firearms besides Glocks also are “readily convertible” into machine guns by using tools to reconfigure them or adding parts, she said. [More]
Like VPC has been signaling everyone since 1988:
The weapons’ menacing looks, coupled with the public’s confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons—anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun—can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons.
Anybody out there still foolish enough to believe the bump stock ban was about bump stocks?

BIDEN: “My legislation says there can be no more than eight bullets in a round, okay?” 🤔 pic.twitter.com/LxmTk9EjyC— RNC Research (@RNCResearch) October 24, 2022
And we know who he’ll get to enforce that!
I’m still not clear on something, though: Is that more or less than a “30 magazine clip”?

“Nick was the big, rowdy one,” a neighbor of his brother Nathaniel told The Post on Thursday. “He was the big, funny one, a big teddy bear. He was huge. Big guy, but sweet as pie… He is said to have called 911 at 10:29 p.m. and waited with an AR-15-style gun for officers to arrive, according to the station. [More]
My guess is someone who knew him better would describe him differently.

CONNECTICUT CITIZENS DEFENSE LEAGUE AND SECOND AMENDMENT FOUNDATION SUE CT OVER BAN ON MODERN SPORTING ARMS [More]
I dunno– “in Common Use for Lawful Purposes Throughout the United States” seems to exclude everything that’s not, including what will be developed in the future.
The Supreme Court, in its infamous Miller decision, nonetheless recognized the function of the Militia, defined as “all males physically capable of acting in concert for the common defense [and] bearing arms supplied by themselves and of the kind in common use at the time,” was — and still is — to field citizen soldiers. These citizens bore arms that were suitable for that purpose, “ordinary military equipment” intended to be taken into “common defense” battles. The Militia did not assemble on the green bearing clubs and spears. They came with the intent to match and best a professional military threat. A modern Militia would require citizens to keep and bear exactly what the gun-grabbing politicians are trying to take away from them, what they pejoratively denounce as “weapons of war.”
Second Amendment will be Nullified if ‘Common Use’ is Restricted to ‘Popularity’
Active shooter at Arkansas hospital; feds, local police responding [More]
I can hear the grabbers now:
“Please let it be a white conservative with an assault rifle, please let it be a white conservative with an assault rifle…”
This is where developments will break.

UPDATE
It’s over. One killed and they’re not saying who’s in custody yet.
Biden: “What in God’s name do you need an assault weapon for? It’s an assault weapon designed to kill people, to defend America, to defend people.” [More]
“To kill people! To DEFEND people! To kill people AND defend people!”
Why do I imagine Jack Nicholson slapping him around?
