Notes from the Resistance
Harstfield also said the attack on his food truck was a hate crime, as he is black and gay… Tuesday, Hartsfield was charged with both arson and insurance fraud in connection to the fire that destroyed his food truck. [More]
If you can’t trust the proprietor of a vegan roach coach, who can you trust?
I’ll have the Jussie Smollett special served up with a side of irony, noting who he (allegedly) ended up ripping off on GoFundMe…
And we should preserve this before it goes away:

Today, the Attorney General sent a cease-and-desist letter to Sky Tactical Supply, warning the company that it is potentially committing criminal offenses by selling the FIFY in California, and is misleading California consumers about their criminal liability if they buy the product. [More]
This stuff makes my head hurt.
Hobbs wins Arizona governor’s race, flipping state for Dems [More]
Yeah, about that:
In addition to Mark Kelly and Kyrsten Sinema, Arizona is pretty much now ruled by the high population center Democrat strongholds.
Funny… I don’t see “More Freedom” in any of the reasons the nest foulers give for moving there.
Large-capacity magazines are not “arms” protected by the Second Amendment because they are not essential to the use of firearms… Additionally, large-capacity magazines are not protected “arms” because they are not commonly used for self-defense. [More]
Since that directly follows an “Overview of Bruen’s text-and-history standard for analyzing Second Amendment claims,” I wonder what Tench would say to that…?
Legal weasel Rob Bonta proves the point that if you limit arguments to “self-defense” and ignore core purpose, you’re not using every means at your disposal.

A Southern California police officer was arrested for firing his gun into the air several times in a tavern’s parking lot after drinking with his friends, authorities said. [More]
Face it, no matter how much we practice, we’ll never have the training professionals have to safely do that.

I’m reminded of a broken campaign promise…

A central issue in Sheriff Smith’s trial is whether she provided concealed carry weapon permits in exchange for donations or other favors. Under questioning from San Francisco Assistant District Attorney Gabriel Markoff, Bechtel said he provided $750,000 to the Sheriff’s Advisory Board and arranged construction crews to make improvements to the Sheriff’s Department shooting range… Bechtel said he, his son, and two other relatives acquired concealed carry permits that were signed by Sheriff Smith.

At least we know from Harpreet Chada that Laurie’s Big Club wasn’t exclusively “white privileged,” but I’d still like to see someone look into other “underrepresentation.”
In answer to an anticipated question, this was a civil trial and one of her defenders says regardless, these are not felonies. And here I was looking forward to Laurie becoming a “prohibited person” if they end up bringing criminal, charges.

Santa Clara County Sheriff Laurie Smith informed the Board of Supervisors in this one-line letter that she was leaving office effective Monday. [More]
Maybe if she goes quietly no one will ask any questions about “underrepresentation.”
Too bad. The “real reporters” could have had an “EXCLUSIVE” worth putting in all caps.

Where Does Brian Dahle Stand On Gun Control [Watch]
It’s not like he dares tell you on his campaign website…
His voting record shows he doesn’t support bans, but I would argue with him on expanding “prohibited persons.”
He’s not bad on the issue that’s not the “single issue,” too.
Bottom line: He’s a damn site better than the domestic enemy currently ruling.
But California is lost “thanks” to what no gun group wants to talk about.

Calif. woman recalls attack, rape by homeless man — released from jail hours earlier [More]
Sorry, Marissa, but I look at all your Facebook “likes”/influencers like Bernie Sanders, SNN, George Takei, the Huffington Post, and Rachel Maddow, and I’m not seeing anyone offering any solutions that could have helped you or will stop this from happening to someone else.

Gun owners in the nation’s 10th largest city who disobey a requirement to carry liability insurance and pay a yearly fee will have to fork over up to $1,000 in fines as part of San Jose’s unique and controversial push to combat gun violence — a novel legislative approach that has triggered a challenge in federal court and has 2nd Amendment supporters up in arms. [More]
It’s not so novel– as with all “progressive” ideas, we’ve seen comparable tyrannical outrages like poll taxes and gun registration abuses before.
Licky Licardo & Co. just put a new mask on it.
Do they even have who the lucre goes to worked out yet? I want to start a pool on how many years it will take for whoever runs it to be exposed for embezzlement.
Actually, it will probably never get that far because it is so clearly unconstitutional and in violation of Bruen’s “historical understanding.” This is just protracted harassment and delaying tactics by official subversives who can spend all the plunder they want on drawn-out legal challenges and appeals, knowing that to fight it, their opponents will need to dig into limited and stretched-out financial resources.

California sheriff forced to disclose names of concealed carry holders to media [More]
I wonder if anyone is going to check to see if minorities are underrepresented in “progressive” California…

California liquor store clerk dies after being assaulted with scooter by group of teens [More]
Ah, an assault scooter! This clearly calls for some commonsense scooter safety laws.
Who’da thunk scooter buybacks were a thing?

“The victim indicated she was working in her office when a man came into her office, grabbed her, dragged her into a basement, and raped her,” Stanford’s Department of Public Safety said in a statement. “The victim does not want to provide a statement to law enforcement about the crime at this time.” [More]
Stanford University prohibits the possession of any of the following weapons or dangerous items on the Stanford campus: firearm, dirk, dagger, ice pick, knife having a blade longer than 2 1/2 inches (except for lawful use in food preparation or consumption), folding knife with a blade that locks into place, razor with an unguarded blade, taser, stun gun, instrument that expels a metallic projectile (such as a BB or a pellet), spot marker gun (commonly known as a “paintball gun”), compressed air (airsoft) gun, or any other weapons prohibited by California Penal Code Sections 626.10 and 626.9.
Then again, aside from the absurd and wholly prejudicial “Believe Women” weapon that the left employs to try and derail Supreme Court nominees, and with campus hoaxes being all the fashion for decades now, how do we know this even happened?
California law seeking to deter legal challenges to gun laws in that state is now under major legal threat. The pro 2A groups suing over the anti civil-rights law were just given the great news that federal district Court Judge District Roger Benitez has been assigned the case. [Watch]
NOW how many years…?
[Via Jess]
Freeman said the insurance requirement was analogous to some 19th-century laws requiring gun owners to post bond in order to carry a gun. [More]
Ah yes, Licky Liccardo’s law…
The antis will try to use Bruen’s “historical understanding” to justify every disarmament edict they can think up. Let unsaid with that approach:
Were those edicts ever challenged on Second Amendment grounds? Because what they won’t find is the Supreme Court upholding such “laws.”
