Notes from the Resistance
California county pays up after illegally seizing child’s pet goat – That goat, Cedar, was ultimately slaughtered after local authorities tracked him down like a fugitive. [More]
Looks like I’m gonna need to design another shirt.
I guess Peanut and Fred weren’t enough to satisfy the bloodlust.

California keeps a database on on firearm owners in that state that is extremely extensive and there’s really no way to get around that in that state… [Watch]
This bill would, beginning on March 1, 2025, additionally require the register or record to include the acknowledgment by the purchaser or transferee that they have, within the past 30 days, confirmed possession of every firearm that they own or possess.
Well, there actually is a way to get around it, but it comes with a risk. And I do still have mine, and it’s safe from them.
That post, incidentally, elicited all kinds of vitriol from bloviating anonymous keyboard warriors on AR15.com, including comments like “Reads like GOA bullshit. Stopped reading after I’d seen enough.” and “Interview with treasonous communist shitheads that will hopefully choke on a chicken bone and die.”
And people wonder why I don’t join forums…

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms says California Gov. Gavin Newsom is a hypocrite for signing a law barring local governments from requiring voter identification, while still expecting gun buyers to provide ID before exercising their Second Amendment rights. [More]
So… does this mean they’re reconsidering…?
Attorneys representing the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and its partners in parallel cases challenging California’s ban on gun shows held on public property have filed an emergency application with the U.S. Supreme Court asking that a Ninth Circuit Court mandate be recalled, and a stay be issued pending an appeal to the high court later this year. [More]
Having personally seen California gun show attendees ignore attempts to preserve RKBA, I have to say their apathy has brought much of their plight upon themselves. The same ones probably haven’t contributed a dime to this case.
Governor Newsom signs bipartisan legislation to strengthen California’s gun laws [More]
Every bill sponsor in the list has a (D) after his name except AB 3083 (Domestic violence: protective orders: background checks) author/retired trough-feeding “Only One” Tom Lackey, an aptronym if I ever heard one.
Yeah, such endorsements seem to be longtime SOP.
Tell me what incentives California Republicans have not to sell out gun owners again…?

The spokesperson also said that around 80 animals were killed, including chickens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, goats, ducks, other types of birds and a miniature horse…Arroyo was booked and charged with … illegal possession of an assault weapon.. and felon in possession of a firearm, per the spokesperson.

Sign it. I want to see how many “undecideds” are even awake.

Hey, if $5 is “better” than $1, how much “better” would $50 be? What’s to stop it?

California Must Issue Concealed Carry Permits To Out-of-State Residents [More]
And you don’t even have to donate to Laurie Smith’s campaign!
Will they require you to register your gun and what if its not on the roster?
You could just do what I did from 1980 to 2007…
California moves ahead with $0 downpayment ‘loans’ for new homes for illegal immigrants [More]
And they make their payments by continuing to break federal law… which makes California’s involvement a conspiracy.
Cut right in front of the line and get yours. Now let’s get you registered to vote Democrat.
Every American who had to struggle and sacrifice for years to finally qualify to get their first property’s blood ought to be boiling.
There go Newsom and the Democrats again– disregarding laws they oppose. Just don’t you try it.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

Billionaires fighting to build new ‘utopian city’ with ‘jobs for everyone’ in California are forced to back down as they make embarrassing admission [More]
What, that we don’t see much racial diversity in the proposed kids on bikes and outdoor cafe illustrations, or that the overprivileged tech geek in charge sued farmers for their land? I wonder how many migrant workers were displaced by that…?
If they ever do get it up and running, how long do you give it before those designer buildings are defaced with graffiti, a homeless encampment springs up along with the attendant poop and needles on the sidewalks, Antifa “occupies” a section to “liberate” it from capitalist swine “One Percenters,” and they experience their first gang shootout, despite a (presumed) residency contract to live “gun free”…?
These Philosopher Kings with their ability to control the less powerful who are willing to be, if not bought, rented, imagine themselves as gods.
“Imagine your surprise if you are just minding your own business, wherever you are, Ohio, Alabama, Texas, and all of a sudden, your local constable is, like, “Guess what sucker, California says you’re not allowed to have any guns anymore, give them up.” [Watch]
Gun laws don’t work both ways, so your permit and lawful ownership won’t be recognized there.
Heads they win, tails you lose.

“California effectively seeks the power to destroy the exercise of a constitutional right by singling it out for special taxation,” the lawsuit alleges. “If this tax is permitted, there is nothing stopping California from imposing a 50% or even 100% tax on a constitutional right it disfavors whether it be the right to keep and bear arms, the right to free exercise of religion, or any other right.” [More]
Just like if one gun a month is good, one gun a year is better!

Mother demands answers after son is among victims in series of shootings in 24 hours in Lancaster [More]
I have questions, too, starting with “Mom, where was your husband in that clip?”
Or are we not allowed to extrapolate from generalities? Because those who say we need more “gun control” sure do.
Is the answer really more police, or is that just a reaction to an effect?

A county judge sided with the California Public Policy Foundation and other opponents earlier this month, asking the city of Santa Ana to update its ballot language to make it more neutral. [More]
So the issue isn’t foreign nationals voting here in the first place, but how to word the treason?
Once more unto the breach, Mr. Pynchon…
Looking at what he chooses to post on his Facebook tells us much about Councilman Hernandez’s motivations.
High court blocks anti-tax measure from California ballot [More]
Leave it to Democrats to not give people a say in what happens to them.
This kinda reminds me of Ann Richards, who didn’t trust Texans to choose for themselves and vetoed a handgun carry license referendum bill passed by the legislature…

California law prohibiting gun shows at county fairs upheld by federal appeals court in unanimous decision [More]
Years ago, before the Great Western Gun Show was forced out of California, I recall being especially bitter over how it could attract tens of thousands of gun owners–yet a counter-protest against the Million Moms preceded by announcements and appeals throughout the “activist” network, only drew a few hundred. And out of all Los Angeles, we’d be lucky to get 50 to show up at an NRA Members’ Council meeting, and of those, maybe half a dozen– of the same people all the time– actually did any work.
Add the engineered demographic shift our “gun rights leaders” say doesn’t qualify for “single issue” consideration, and the traditional uselessness of California Republicans, and no other outcome was possible.
Appealing to the full Ninth Circuit won’t reverse things. That’s just a requisite step to denial, and then hoping the Supreme Court will hear it and that it still has a favorable majority.

Father of Four Executed as Gunman Indiscriminately Fires at Random Cars in Gun-Controlled California [More]
He was on his way home after working the night shift to provide for his family when this worthless waste of oxygen decided to kill. I’m thinking it’s no coincidence that so far, “background details on the suspect were unavailable.”

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco has scheduled oral arguments Aug. 14 in the Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge of California’s one-gun-per-month (OGM) purchase restriction, in a case known as Nguyen v. Bonta. [More]
Of course it’s an infringement.
Of course the Ninth Circuit knows it.
And of course they’re going to do everything in their power to stall things until Democrats get the national majority they need to remake SCOTUS and reverse Bruen.
With your money.
So bring in a player for the other team..
This is why taking back the Senate is so critical. Even with the four Republicans abstaining, she was still confirmed along party lines.

“I don’t want to send more black and brown men to prison. I don’t want more people in prison, but I don’t want people buying girls. I don’t want people buying little girls anymore. I’m tired of saying it’s okay and that we have to protect the men who do it,” Eggman continued. [More]

I see a Streisand Effect in their futures.
Seems another Democrat had something to say about that once…
Berman, Gipson, and Weber, eh?
I remember that Gipson racist idiot tyrant . I see Pinhead Berman and Gunquack Weber also want men with guns to take away yours.
Hey, if you can ignore the Second Amendment, why would you worry about the First?
Let ’em pass it. Then let ’em try to extradite me.
