Notes from the Resistance
The Austin, Texas-based Liberty Justice Center on Jan. 7 filed a lawsuit on behalf of two truck drivers against the state of Minnesota, arguing that the state’s failure to recognize other states’ firearm permits violates the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The lawsuit aims to defend the two truckers’ constitutional right to bear arms in public and carry them in their trucks across state borders. [More]
And not just truckers from the looks of things…

GOP Lawmakers Might Be Poised to Score a Major Second Amendment Victory [More]
If you call further codifying permits for rights as the national standard, continued state infringements, and salvaging deservedly tarnished reputations a “major victory”…
Not that it will pass. Or not be tied up in courts until the pendulum swings back to Democrats.

H.R. 38 (118th): Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act [More]
With permits, of course, which leaves me out.
I don’t see a prognosis yet so I’ll give mine: Good luck getting “Republicans” like Brian Fitzpatrick and Susan Collins not to join with the Democrats to keep this from ever getting to the president’s desk.
Change my mind.
Oh, and about that line… (NSFW!)

Hawaii Judges Say ‘to Hell with the Constitution’ [More]
It’s a Kapu Tradition!
Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), together with the Tennessee Firearms Association, today filed a lawsuit in Shelby County, Tennessee against the City of Memphis’ newly adopted gun control ordinances, which were passed by voters in direct opposition to the state’s robust preemption law. [More]
The city has real problems and the idiot Democrats in charge squander resources on diktats they know are illegal.
How is that not actionable malfeasance?
A public servant commits an offense who, with intent to obtain a benefit or to harm another, intentionally or knowingly:
(1) Commits an act relating to the public servant’s office or employment that constitutes an unauthorized exercise of official power;
(2) Commits an act under color of office or employment that exceeds the public servant’s official power;
It’s not enough to have to expend resources to kick these bastards’ crap back at them after months and years of court delays. Start making them personally accountable.
Why not follow up this preemptive strike with carpet bombing?
Oh, wait… the Bill Lee administration…
Whether we’re talking about 2 minutes to register to vote or 10 or more minutes or even 30 minutes to vote these are a drop in the bucket compared to the months and months and months that some Americans in anti-gun jurisdictions have to wait to be able to get their carry permit to exercise their Second Amendment right… [Watch]
I’ve never applied for one so I wouldn’t know.
Hey, if it only takes two minutes to register, what’s all the phony brouhaha about disenfranchising voters because it’s too hard to prove eligibility?
