Notes from the Resistance
That is our case. They’re defying the Supreme Court. What are you going to do about it?
NAGR has certainly come a long way over the years and has been doing some very good work on all our behalf. Perhaps it’s time to put past mutual animosities with other groups aside…?

Officer Jonathan Diller, 31, was shot by a man identified as Guy Rivera, previously arrested by the NYPD 21 times according to police sources [More]
What ever happened to “Three Strikes and You’re Out“?
Oh, yeah, Democrats wrung their hands over some chronic and habitual moron who stole a slice of pizza, complained about “overrepresentation,” and morphed the public’s demand to fight violent crime by passing a federal “assault weapon” ban against that only stopped the “law-abiding”…
Maybe that’s what we need here: Another “commonsense gun safety law”…

“Assault Weapons Ban” Advances to the Senate [More]
Of course they know this will end up in court. But they have all the money in the world to tie things up until Republicans blow it and Democrats can stack SCOTUS to reverse Bruen.

Colorado’s New AR-15 Ban Also Targets Semi-Auto Pistols & Shotguns [Watch]
But no one’s talking about taking your guns.

Democrat Ruben Gallego Would Prohibit Arizonans From Buying AR-15s … . “Carrying and using his M16 to defend himself and his fellow Marines in Iraq made it clear to Ruben that weapons of war have no place in civilian life”… [More]
Ah, the old familar lie of omission compounded with false authority!
Just because you were a Marine doesn’t mean you can’t be a domestic enemy.
Just ask Lee Harvey Oswald.

And the obnoxious, carnival barking fraud doesn’t think we should be allowed to have the tools to fight it?

Car plows into couple, killing wife, leaving husband devastated… He threatened to shoot a school, bomb a building and assault police. [More]
Even thnough the automatic murder weapon was a licensed and registered, there’s only one thing to do.
Sue themanufacturer. I’ll bet if you look up cars involved in fatal accidents and crimes, you’d also be able to identify “bad apple dealers.”

Notable things going on in this video from Arlington Texas:
-robbers have weapon lights
-robbers have standard capacity drum mags
-robbers flee when faced with superior firepower [More]
Hey, if you need more than three shots against armed robbers you have no business defending yourself!

Just what we need for the already subversive Seventh Circuit…
How this not an admission of malpractice meriting — hell, demanding — a bar complaint?
House Bill 24-1292, otherwise known as the “Assault Weapons Ban” passed the House Judiciary Committee on a vote of 7-3 early this morning, March 20th at 12:18 am. It will now go to the floor of the House for debate among the entire chamber. The battle against this horrible bill is far from over. [More]
And then the rest of the process to enactment, and then the lawsuits, and then the appeals, and…
When is SCOTUS going to put a stop to this nonsense?
Or will Republicans blow it and Democrats put a stop to SCOTUS?

GOA Petition to SCOTUS for Writ of Certiorari Against Illinois Categorical Ban on AR-15s… Friends of The Captain’s Journal Stephen Stamboulieh and Oliver Krawczyk wrote this brief, along with Rob Olson. A better constructed and more direct and honest one you will never find. [More]
This covers some essential points that can’t be raised enough. I intend to write an article soon explaining why.
The AWCA is constitutional because either: (1) assault rifles are dangerous and unusual and, therefore, not protected by the Second Amendment at all; (2) assault rifles may be banned in accordance with this nation’s regulatory tradition of placing severe restrictions on dangerous and unusual weaponry, including a tradition of outright possession bans that proliferated during Reconstruction when states first became subject to the Second Amendment; or (3) mass shootings with assault rifles pose such an unprecedented societal concern, engendered by dramatic technological development, that California is constitutionally permitted to use a slightly different regulatory method that is still consistent with a general tradition of limiting offensive and unlawful use of dangerous and unusual weapons.

BRIEF OF AMICUS CURIAE NATIONAL POLICE ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONERS [More]
I see they cited Silveira v. Lockyer, an effort I was proud to have a central hand in promoting despite being undermined by the “Second Amendment establishment.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul has pulled back the big guns in her subway safety surge, ordering the National Guard not to carry military-grade assault rifles when they check riders’ bags for weapons. [More]
So are those reserved for her timecard cheating security detail?

I confess that when I was looking into the contention that the Founders would be horrified, I was unaware of the Kalthoff repeater.
On the one hand it looks like this would really help Bruen-based arguments. On the other hand, with the way “common use” is being distorted, including by “our side,” I can see the antis muddying the waters.
[Via Jess]
From the state that banned such guns for you. At least now we have our answer to “If they’re ‘weapons of war,’ why do the police have them?”
To be enforcers for Democrats.
“Back the Blue,” right…?

You can see that Stephen McGlynn is implicitly saying that he totally, totally disagrees with the ruling of the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, and while he’s not calling those judges morons, he’s basically saying, shall we say, they’re clearly wrong on the law. [Watch]
Nothing to stop the rest of us from calling them what they deserve…

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.
