Notes from the Resistance
As announced last week, the May/June issue, with my first column,
“‘Gun Owners for Trump’ Should be More than Campaign Window Dressing,” is available now at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic, and by scrolling down to page 73 at the above link.
I appreciate the opportunity to reach a new readership. I invite you to check it out and let them know what you think.
What good is ‘see something/say something’ if no one is listening? [More]
This came out after I left for my trip.
As with all my work, if you find value in it and think others may as well, share the link.
So, the answer from the gun-grabbers, naturally, is more “gun control” over you and me. [More]
It’s the same fraud they pulled to kick off Fast and Furious.
A new request for DOJ investigation has been filed detailing Second Amendment and civil rights violations inherent in Illinois’ Firearms Owner Identification card (FOID) requirement. [More]
They showed deliberate indifference to the first civil rights complaint. Perhaps an adjusted attitude will allow them to consider this one.
It’s not hyperbole to conclude this drunk’s “passion” includes denying her countrymen God-given rights enshrined in a document she swore an oath to uphold. [More]
Who wants to submit their rights to the control of elitist reprobates who can’t– or won’t — control themselves?
Meanwhile, Democrat influencers with wide media reach and plenty of experience ginning up the mob, are turning up the heat. [More]
I’m sure it’ll be “mostly peaceful,” won’t it?
Replacing Joe Biden’s Office of Gun Violence Prevention with an Office of Second Amendment Protection, with liaison members like new ATF Chief Counsel Leider, would mean no more surprises, no more cognitively dissonant legal positions, and no more disheartening gun owner who are feeling used, abandoned and betrayed. [More]
All this back-and-forth has got to stop.
While the country as a whole may not be ready for an AOC White House bid, a potential coalition builder like Wes Moore is another matter altogether. [More]
They’re looking for someone even the radicals won’t attack. And counting on Republicans to blow it in the midterms through to ’28…
In Contrasting Ideals, Faria not only introduces us to key “players” in both revolutions, like Maximilien Robespierre and other Reign of Terror figures like Jean-Paul Marat, whose differences with “Founding Fathers” like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson could not have been more pronounced. For rebellions that seemingly had so much in common at the outset, the goals of those driving them were antithetical. [More]
If you’re not familiar with the teachings of Dr. Miguel A. Faria, Jr., you’ve denied yourself the opportunity of learning from the best. If you are familiar, do yourself a favor by reading this, and your friends a favor by then recommending it to them.
Yet despite clear evidence of bias, thanks to a U.S. Department of Justice official policy of deliberate indifference, such judges will remain on the bench. [More]
What’s that John F. Kennedy quote about making peaceful revolution impossible…?
In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various topics surrounding Second Amendment rights, including the role of the ATF, legal challenges, and the implications of recent legislation such as Oregon’s Measure 114. The conversation also touches on the Aikens Accelerator case, expectations from Pam Bondi’s office, and the potential impact of Trump’s executive orders on gun rights. The episode features insights from David Codrea, a long-time contributor, who shares his perspectives on the current state of gun rights and the challenges faced by advocates. [Listen]
Last night’s program…
I’ll be on at 9 Eastern with a maduro in one hand and two fingers of the good stuff in the other. Go to the AAR website to listen/watch live/find a station near you.
If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored. [More]
Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?
Most are opposed to anyone outside of the government bearing arms, and it’s safe to assume once granted citizenship, they’ll vote that way. [More]
It shouldn’t just be about money, and a complete Bill of Rights culture, with a Second Amendment that precedent shows most will vote against, is what enabled this country to become so prosperous in the first place.
The March 2025 issue of Firearms News, featuring my assessment of permanent ATF Director speculations and expectations, is now available at freedom-minded newsstands throughout the Republic.
If you don’t see it, ask the manager “Why not?”. Or you could just save and subscribe.
If you want to fight for your rights against the unlimited power and treasure of the state, you’re on your own. That’s “the reasonableness of the government’s position.” [More]
We’re about to find out how different the new administration is from the old one when it comes to citizens being forced to fight for their rights.
What this means is the Form 4473 will need to be revised again if ATF is to comply with the executive order. [More]
Don’t let this distract from a more basic argument.
It sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and Founding era thought leaders weren’t big on “select militias.” [More]
Letting those with an agenda redefine terms ignores the real argument.
It’s taking care of our immediate needs. However, the Founders bequeathed us a constitution intended “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” If this is all we concern ourselves with, what are we bequeathing to them? Semiautomatic firearm technology that’s already 140 years old…? In a world where technological developments and breakthroughs are being introduced seemingly exponentially, what new “terrible implements” will become standard issue in the next 140 years? [More]
In avoiding legal traps today, care must be taken not to catch ourselves in a more dangerous one tomorrow.
That was some needed time off but now it’s grindstone time again.
I’m going to focus today on publicizing three articles that posted while I was gone and then have to get to work on some new articles that will probably occupy the rest of the week. As such, please continue to hold off on news link tips until next week unless I can get that work done quicker than expected.
