Notes from the Resistance
I believe Dr. Faria’s work is essential for dedicated Second Amendment advocates, and although not specifically focused on the right to keep and bear arms, ancient Rome provided the bedrock on which the foundations for our own Republic were set. [More]
We need to understand where we came from to better determine where we are and where we could be headed.
The engineered results are predictable: Ignorance begets fear and fear begets hate. [More]
Instead of giving children building blocks to work with, collectivist “educators” are putting up knowledge blocks to intimidate and discourage them.
“The City has banned an arm in common use for lawful purposes by law-abiding citizens. Therefore, the Ordinance violates the Second Amendment.”
That’s not why the ban violates it. [More]
If something needs to be officially designated “popular” by government in order to be “legal,” we may as well start calling each other “Comrade.”
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.

Face it, gun owners are voting for who infringes less and accepting excuses for not demanding more.

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.”

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]
