Notes from the Resistance
California concealed carry holder shoots ax-wielding attacker on his property [More]
Fact: Every stupid, fat woman in a red “Moms Demand” t-shirt wants the government to keep the rest of us from being able to defend ourselves against maniacs trying to kill us.
So why should California Republicans (and those from other states where they think they can get away with it) do anything more than give lip service to gun owners, assuming they even need to do that? After all, they’ve been getting away with serial betrayals for years. [More]
What incentives do they have to change if they continue to get away with it?
Gov. Gavin Newsom says California overwhelmed by illegal aliens – ‘What we’ve got right now is not working, and it’s about to break’ [More]
If there were only some way to keep them in…

Who does this character think he is? Laurie Smith?

Who Wants to Tell California AG Bonta that Access to ‘Weapons of War’ as a Check Against Tyranny is a Core Tenet of the Second Amendment? [More]
Why do you think he and his masters are so bent on destroying it?
I just wish more 2A lawsuits would focus more on the Militia, and how ignoring that facilitates more infringements.
GUN VIOLENCE: A pair of gun proposals are back after failing last session. One would impose an excise tax on firearm and ammunition sales; another would modify California’s concealed carry permitting system in response to a Supreme Court ruling upending restrictive state laws. Bills containing those respective proposals stalled last year for want of two-thirds votes. [More]

The “purchase delay” story has as happy an ending as can be expected when you consider all the prior restraint infringements.
“Ed” tells me via email:
Yesterday, Saturday, at around 4 pm, I received a call from [redacted] to inform me that he just received an email on behalf of “General” Bonta that it’s OK to release my HK! I arranged to pick it up later that evening and now have it in my possession…
…Notice, they CC’d the police but NOT to me, like it’s none of my business what they do related to me behind my back. And to date, still not a single response to my request for the documentation and so-called evidence they claimed to have, to which I, as “the accused” have a legal right to be presented with to see what the alleged “evidence” is that they used to make the libelous accusations of my “alleged criminal activity” and “firearms theft,” that they used to defame me…
…And, as ALL the guys that were there last night working the F/A counter told me about their customers having this same problem, I suggested that they tell those folks to look up your article and then contact AmmoLand to pass on their info.
Yeah, if it happens to you, let us know.
This appears to be yet another real-world example of those “false positives” the left viciously attacks John Lott for documenting. And the end of this story brings nothing to mind so much as Emily Litella realizing she’s wrong.
Ed’s just lucky Bonta didn’t deploy a shock team to confiscate what’s on his registration list. Just think how much more that will happen once Amalgamated finishes beta-testing its crystal ball.
MAJOR 2A CALIFORNIA COURT VICTORY: Critical Win for Gun Rights Supporters TODAY [Watch]
California’s tyrannical attempt to stifle peaceful revolution by economically coercing against petitioning government for redress of grievances gets set back by Judge Benitez.
I didn’t find announcements on SAF, FPC, and Ninth Circuit websites yet, and nothing yet on a news search, so Mark W. Smith has the scoop.
Rob Bonta really is evil.

A California clerk was fatally shot by a robbery suspect, authorities say. The suspect won’t be charged with murder. The suspect was fleeing the robbery at the Antioch gas station when the clerk chased him and opened fire. Then the suspect returned fire, which experts say could be argued as self-defense. [More]
You just can’t claim the same with state enforcers.
Here I thought that if anyone died during the commission of a crime all the perps involved could be charged. Crime scene getaway isn’t a crime in CA?
Who wants to bet Jackson was carrying “illegally” and has a rap sheet?
And all that said, yeah, you’re not allowed to go after criminals. You have to let them go to where they can kill somebody else.

Investigators said they “did not uncover any evidence that the timing of the (data breach) was driven by a nefarious intent or was personally or politically motivated in any way.” [More]
As we’ve seen in a prior cover-up, there’s a huge difference between “no evidence” and “exonerated.”
In any case, say it really was systemic retard-level incompetence and negligence– in any rational organization, that would result in top-level firings followed by legal actions.

How to Spot Democrat Scott Wiener’s Fake Hate Crime with This 1 Weird Trick [More]
What is it about twisted Democrat sex freaks named Wiener?
And need you ask?

If the California DOJ won’t let Ed buy a gun, what’s to say they’ll let him keep the ones he already has if their misidentification persists? It’s not like they don’t know what he has and where he lives. That alone, along with the propensity of state disarmament enforcers to violently descend in the middle of the night, makes calling attention to his plight a matter of personal safety. [More]
Nothing says “shall not be infringed” like “How do we know you’re not a criminal?”
Redwood City approves temporary ordinance prohibiting gun shops [More]
“Temporary” as it can go on for two years and then they’ll enact another one.
So the majority can deny rights to minorities– just like the “good old days”?
What did Dr. King say about “justice delayed”?
Show me the prospective store owner with the resources to fight it. There are “historical understanding” grounds, you know:
This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.
But a prospective gun store owner can’t afford to stage an extended challenge. How about it, FPC and/or CRPA?

Dem Rep. Garamendi: ‘The President Is Absolutely Correct, No Assault Weapons’ [More]
This coming from an old subversive who says the way to stop the influx of drugs and criminals is to forget border security, where tens of millions have illegally crossed, and focus on the Coast Guard.

A policy proposal heading for Board of Supervisors approval next week would explicitly authorize San Francisco police to kill suspects using robots. [More]
So is a perceived need for this an admission that California/San Francisco citizen disarmament edits are a bust?
I’m waiting for someone to hack into one and have it attack its controllers.

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]

I’ll have the Jussie Smollett special served up with a side of irony, noting who he (allegedly) ended up ripping off on GoFundMe…

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]

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. [More]
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.
[Via Rough and Ready]
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.

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.
