Notes from the Resistance
Maine lawmakers call on Cabela’s, Kittery Trading Post to stop selling ‘assault rifles’ [More]
Well, yeah, because “gunman, Robert Card, bought one of his weapons, a handgun, at the Cabela’s in Scarborough.”
Don’t worry– the grabbers’ll come back to their initial goal in due time:

There’s one other disqualifier though that should clear up ATF Director Steve Dettelbach’s inability to define what an “assault weapon” is, itself reminiscent of Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson taking a pass on defining “woman.” He should have just said “A Marlin 70620 Model 60 .22 Long Rifle.” [More]
Man, they’re letting anything be a “weapon of war” these days…
Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, discuses the three pieces of huge news where three separate petitions to the United States Supreme Court have been filed asking for review of Illinois’ assault weapon and magazine bans. This, added to the other petition filed last week in the matter of Bianchi v. Brown, means that there is now four separate peititions before SCOTUS to settle this once and for all. [Watch]
You can’t put it off any longer, SCOTUS.
Make your decision.
Some of us have already made ours.

Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation and its partners in a federal challenge of the Illinois ban on modern semi-auto firearms and “large-capacity magazines” have filed a petition with the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking certiorari in the case of Harrel v. Raoul. [More]
Be careful that you don’t turn “common use” into a precedential limitation.
The Second Amendment Foundation and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms have once again petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to grant certiorari in their continuing challenge of Maryland’s ban on so-called “assault weapons.” [More]
How much longer can they avoid the inevitable?
“We really only want firearms in the hands of those who can handle a firearm responsibly,” said Sen. Barbara Favola. [More]
As evidenced by a badge, right, Babs?
Meanwhile, our fellow violence monopolists in other states are eliminating citizen safety training and encouraging those who can’t handle firearms responsibly to handle them.

Or as an old friend of mine once said:
I sometimes wonder whether the socialists will issue an edict requiring all firearms to have a pink ribbon tied to the barrel, just to get a belly laugh as the panicked descendants of once-proud American patriots scurry to comply.

Families sue Kentucky gun shop that sold AR-15 used in 2023 bank shooting that killed 5 [More]
How dare River City Fireams clerks not have magic mental powers to know that Democrat gun prohibitionists are violent lunatics waiting to happen?
Natural sympathy for the families does not give them a right to infringe on ours, and when they try, they need to be repelled just like any aggressor with delusional motives.
I wonder how ambulance chaser Tad Thomas and the partners over at Romanucci & Blandin look in halter tops and faux leopardskin hotpants as they solicit motorists…
And I wonder if their Everytown johns are ever going to be slapped with a nuisance lawsuit and court sanctions for continually ignoring PLCAA…

Washington Gun Law President, William Kirk, asks “what the hell are you thinking registering your firearms after the deadline?” New numbers from the Illinois State Police show that many of you decided to register after the deadline imposed by new Illinois law and that, is not a really bright move. Why? We’ll explain, so it’s time for you to learn more and arm yourself with education. [Watch]
Just put your head on this chopping block…

Between January 1st, 1998, and October 25th, 2023, 52.5% of attacks used solely handguns, and 16.8% used only rifles of any type… [More]
That this is not what we are being told shows the agenda is prohibition and control, not public safety.

New Mexico Shooting Sports Association has legislator contact links. Considering who they’re contacting, that’s not enough. This going to require supporting legal efforts.
All New Mexicans deserve to be safe in their communities, which is why we’re requiring a 14-day waiting period for the purchase of firearms, banning assault weapons, and raising the purchase age to 21 for all firearms… We’ll also prohibit guns in public parks and on playgrounds, allow law enforcement to directly file Extreme Risk Protection Orders, and increase penalties for for felons in possession of a firearm… [More]
And if she gets that, who thinks it won’t be on to the next infringement, and then the next…?
That’s why they call these powwer perverts totalitarians.

You DON’T need an assault weapon to protect your family or house, nor do you need one for hunting, unless you are hunting elephants. The Only ones that need assault weapons is the military and law enforcement. [More]

Seventh Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals denies motion for en banc hearing of challenge against Illinois’ gun and magazine ban. “No judge in regular active service has requested a vote on the petition for rehearing en banc, and all members of the original panel have voted to deny panel rehearing,” the docket said Monday. “The petition for rehearing and rehearing en banc is therefore DENIED.” [More]
Will this be a catalyst for SCOTUS?
“In the right hands, a weapon can save lives. The war demonstrated this — whenever weapons were present, disasters were smaller,” he said in late October. “A gun can save a family, and an assault rifle can save a building. A weapon can protect you, your family, your street and your country.” [More]

It’s fair to ask how, in anyone’s universe, such conduct would not be grounds for removal from the court, disbarment from the practice of law, and criminal prosecution. [More]
Do radical Democrat prohibitionists really want to tell tens of millions of gun owners that the courts are no longer available to them to seek redress against infringements of their fundamental rights?
