Notes from the Resistance
Noting that California’s “sensitive places” law severely restricting lawful concealed carry is “sweeping, repugnant to the Second Amendment, and openly defiant of the Supreme Court,” a federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against the law’s enforcement. [More]
It’s not just the Second Amendment subversive prohibitionists are repugnant to…
BREAKING: California Lt. Gov tells SecState to “explore every legal option” to get Trump off primary ballot [More]
Expect more like this.
I can’t tell if they’re stupid enough to provoke millions of armed Americans or if they know such moves don’t stand a chance (yet) and they’re just flipping us off because they hate us.
Could be a mix of both.
It’s OK to hate ’em back.

UPDATE
The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit in California challenging that state’s law requiring firearms dealers to video record all transactions, calling it a violation of First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. [More]
What’s that saying about 1984 being an instruction manual…?
Democrats are literally totalitarians.
Bonta’s Department of Justice will recognize only three of the eight categories of certified instructor, all three controlled by the State of California: instructors certified under the state Department of Consumer Affairs, the state Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training, or a state-accredited school to teach a firearm training course. [More]
Cut back on the instructors you cut back on the permits.
I wonder how many of the “authorized instructors” were first certified by NRA.
So much for sucking up.

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff and California Attorney General Rob Bonta challenging the constitutionality of carry permit issuance policies and laws that make it difficult, if not impossible, for citizens to obtain permits. Joining SAF are the California Rifle & Pistol Association, Gun Owners of America, Gun Owners Foundation, Gun Owners of California and several private citizens. [More]
Put another way, they’re taking on the kingpin who knows where they live and local armed gang members.
That “misuse” can be deliberate by activists gone wild or due to lax/incompetent security protocols. And it’s not like sensitive and supposedly secure government systems at the highest levels can’t be breached and hacked by anyone, from cyber criminals to foreign enemies. It’s not like names, addresses, and lists don’t have real-world street value, and it would be just like the prohibitionists to have their efforts actually increase violence and its incentives. [More]
Why do you need privacy if you’re not doing anything wrong?
Incoming Assn. of Los Angeles Deputy Sheriffs board member Jason Zabala previously described his tattoo under oath, saying it depicted a skeleton in a cowboy hat with a smoking rifle and the number 140. He called the stark combination of imagery a “station tattoo,” but others described it as the symbol of a deputy gang known as the Regulators. [More]
So these guys can get off-roster guns and you can’t…
It’s a big club and you ain’t in it.

What’s clear from both the Illinois and the California cases, is prohibitionist Democrats, thwarted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, will leave no right unabridged in their totalitarian obsession with controlling everything. [More]
If freedom prohibitionists can take the guns, what’s to stop them from taking everything else?
There were two recent additions to the “roster” that had people in California pretty excited until they saw that the new additions cost “off roster” prices. It’s outrageous what is happening and I would like to see companies stop taking advantage of Californians due to their lack of options. [Watch]
Gotta keep “those people” from being able to afford them, just like in “the good old days,” right?

California’s assault weapons ban will remain in effect while a court considers whether the 30-year-old law is unconstitutional. [More]
That a court thinks there’s anything to consider is our first clue that the game is rigged.
I think we all know that the Ninth Circuit is going to side with citizen disarmament and it’ll take SCOTUS strapping ’em on to get a proper ruling–provided the Republicans don’t blow ’24 and the composition of the High Court changes while the clock is running.
Not that that would settle it…

Until then, extremist judges will continue to tear down the will of the American people. [More]
“NRA puppet”? What does it say about someone who doesn’t see what he’s doing here?
[Via Jess]
The Second Amendment Foundation is celebrating a victory in California as a U.S. District Court judge has declared the state’s decades-old ban on so-called “assault weapons” to be unconstitutional. [More]
Ninth Circuit to f*** it up in 3…2…1…
“We’re seeing a troubling pattern in litigation in which defendants try to drag out the process,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. [More]
With virtually unlimited tax plunder, they can afford to.
Former Dodgers star Steve Garvey jumps into the California Senate race as a Republican [More]
He’s got plenty of “I never played for Democrats or Republicans or independents. I played for all of you” happy-talk platitudes, but where does he stand on anything? And have California Republicans learned anything from the last time they backed celebrity over principle?
At least we know Garvey’s got the screw constituents and duck the fallout part down…
This guy’s got more shady baggage than Sam Brinton…

Yeah, I get it– increments.

Culver City buys controversial gun store [More]
The only controversy I remember is when they let us set a table up outside to invite customers to our Westside Firearms Association (later NRA Members Council over my opposition) meetings and an occasional car of “progressives” would drive by and scream obscenities at us.

I’d argue with “permits” and “background checks,” but he makes some good points.
What I didn’t hear was a refusal to obey unlawful orders.

GOA, GOF JOIN GUN OWNERS OF CALIFORNIA IN SUIT CHALLENGING CALIFORNIA’S BRAND NEW ANTI-CONCEALED CARRY LAW [More]
This, TINVOWOOTers, is why denying Democrats an unchallengeable majority is legit.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed several gun-control measures on Tuesday, including a bill that tightens the state’s concealed-carry rules and another that imposes a new tax on firearm and ammunition sales. [More]
If they’re already rated “A,” and since he’s still trying for even more, what further proof is needed that it will never be enough for these totalitarian freaks?
Of course, they’re talking about taking your guns.

“Unless we enshrine a Right to Safety in the Constitution, we are at the mercy of ideologues like Judge Benitez… This is exactly why I’ve called for a Constitutional amendment, and this is why I’ll keep fighting to defend our right to protect ourselves from gun violence.” [More]
How do YOU do it, liar, if not with guns?

Removable firearm magazines of all sizes are necessary components of semiautomatic firearms. Therefore, magazines come within the text of the constitutional declaration that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. [More]
Judge Benitez had better stay healthy.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) launched a savage attack on a federal judge on social media Friday evening, calling U.S. Judge Roger T. Benitez “an extremist, right-wing zealot with no regard to [sic] human life.” [More]
