Notes from the Resistance
It’s almost like all freedoms are interconnected or something, and that an unrestrained government powerful enough to control guns is powerful enough to do whatever it wants. [More]
They’ve fouled their nests. Now they’ve come to foul yours.
The 11th Circuit joins “several sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of machine guns.” That’s consistent with the Trump administration’s position on the matter, his campaign promises that “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president,” notwithstanding. [More]
Face it, gun owners are voting for who infringes less and accepting excuses for not demanding more.
The May 2026 edition of Firearms News is now available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic. If you don’t see it where you shop, ask ’em why not. You can also subscribe and save.
Today is Primary day in Ohio, and my articles include “Ramaswamy’s Ohio Governor Bid” (pg. 18) and “Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor: The Real Deal When It Comes to Guns” (pg. 104).
Boy, talk about timing– this was submitted before the Cekada confirmation. Still, the same people praising him praised this guy. [More]
Disarming anyone disfavored by the state is one of the oldest power guarantors devised by governments, and this happening in Germany recalls another set of laws imposed within the lifetimes of people still living. [More]
It’s déjà vu all over again.
It’s the right of the people, not the right of special operators. [More]
What may at first sound like a good idea is not one the Framers would have approved.

I had to laugh. First Academia and now this.
Does this now make me an “Authorized Journalist”?
Besides, I don’t think they’d appreciate what I have to say.
It wasn’t “gun violence” that killed Fairfax and his wife, it was him. [More]
Why is it those who demand to control us can’t — or won’t — control themselves?
A Rebuttal to Cam Edwards’ Article ‘Should 2A Groups Make Opposition to Legal Immigration an Issue? A Response to David Codrea’ [More]
By disparaging thoughts on what a “pathway to citizenship” means for future “gun votes,” widely followed “gun rights influencers” are discouraging even discussing the issue.
Their “Diverse Coalition of Gun Rights and Gun Violence Prevention Advocates” includes rabid prohibitionist zealots who have made careers out of trying to eviscerate the Second Amendment through lawfare and gun bans, with not one recognized “no compromise” member. [More]
Oh, look, another covertly-funded AstroTurf group comprised of useful idiots and rabid prohibitionists trying to lure in low information gun owners who haven’t seen this game before. By “compromise,” they mean you do it.
I’ve added several recent article links to the running archive of Firearms News‘ posts about “Donald Trump’s 2A Legacy and the ‘Beautiful Second Amendment’.” [More]
Doctrinaire “loyalists” are invited to disparage legtimate callouts as “blackpilling.”
Putsch Responds to Firearms News’ 2A Inquiry [More]
He walks the talk.
Also: There’s a real difference for Ohio gun owners to consider in the primary.
The April 2026 issue of Firearms News, featuring my articles “Disparaging Armed Citizens Undermines Trump Administration’s Credibility” (p. 22) and “Cekada Heading ATF Still a No-Win Scenario for Gun Owners” (p. 26) is now available at diverse, equitable, and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic.
Fingers would be better pointed at Mexico’s pervasive corruption and tyrannical citizen disarmament edicts that have made a cartel black market both lucrative and inevitably bloody. [More]
The media pulling the same deceptions we saw before Operation Fast and Furious “Gunwalking” makes this déjà vu all over again.
Understand that when Codrea writes “heavily redacted,” what that means is that there’s absolutely nothing of use here. They sent pages of almost nothing but black bars. [More]
Good write-up! I typically like Tom Knighton’s stuff. But why do you think the site added an “Editor’s Note” at the end?
I’m glad to see Bearing Arms is picking up on my stuff more. (I’m going to be working on my response to Cam Edwards later this week.)
What criteria must citizens seeking similar relief need to meet to prove themselves eligible for equal treatment? [More]
It’s apparently a need-to-know secret, and you don’t need to know.
All the critics need to do to prove this wrong is to come up with numbers that credibly refute those given. [More]
You can’t rebut contentions by avoiding them. It’s past time this argument was more widely noticed in the “pro-gun community.”
How Will the Results of the Governor’s Race Affect Gun Owners? [More]
Or should gun owners push for Putsch?
McGuire’s absurdly offensive contention disparaging armed defense while justifying disarming his constituents evokes nothing so much as the scene from the movie Independence Day when the president asks the alien, “What is it you want us to do?” [More]
That and they’ve given themselves a pass on a gun-in-car storage law violation penalty they exact on mere citizens. Could it be more in-your-face to gun owners?
