Notes from the Resistance
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.
If only the Founders had conceived of a way that Americans could band together in times of existential threat and to provide for what was “necessary to the security of a free state…” [More]
Who thinks disarming before the collapse “top men” are preparing for is a good idea?
“Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels”‘Suggests’???? You’re Kidding, Right? ‘Suggests’? [More]
No, I’m not kidding. I laid out some documented examples of corruption to build my argument, but if I was going to use the word “Proves” for the specific instance of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum being in league with the cartels, I’d need to provide more than circumstantial evidence. I’d need to produce documentation establishing that she’s in communication with, on the take, or under direct threat from specific cartels. Barring that, it’s the same reason why words like “alleged” are used.
The commentator, who “suggests” he was a CIA operative in Mexico who had a direct hand in getting DEA agents in and then out of the country with their captures, claims direct knowledge I confess I cannot. If he’d like to be a whistleblower and blow the lid off this, I can guarantee the same level of care Mike and I gave to our Fast and Furious sources– after vetting them .
Top officials, in all branches of government, the police, and the military, are in the pockets of the cartels. [More]
Don’t think of them as partners. Think of them as conjoined twins.
Why are they so desperately angry, ready to drop all pretenses of “friends across the aisle” civility and call for street violence? Against people they’re trying to disarm…? [More]
You’d think the “commonsense gun safety” groups would condemn this kind of talk and disassociate themselves from insurrectionists calling for weaponized political violence…
“This will be a congressional fight, a constitutional fight, a legal fight, and on days like this a street fight…” [More]
Still Kweisi after all these years…
Not all of us have the high capacity for swallowing disinformation and utter hogwash we find in the average Giffords supporter. [More]
Them accusing us of Orwellian Newspeak shows all they’ve got is gaslighting.
Trump’s Second Amendment order is a good first step. It’s up to us to keep him on the path and walking in the right direction. [More]
There are things he can’t do and things he can. Let’s make sure the changes are meaningful.
New Jersey Concealed Carry Permit Study Corroborates Approval Discrimination [More]
It’s not about guns it’s about freedom.
Left unsaid is how they intend to disarm those of us they want hanged by the neck until dead. [More]
Maniacs who want to kill us want our guns. There’s a surprise.
What wasn’t included was where DOJ gets the authority to create a permanent entry to NICS without a conviction or other disqualifier as defined by law. They’re still not saying. [More]
Try stonewalling when they want information and see where that gets you.
Rather than heeding reality, expect the junk science purveyors and their elitist-funded “independent” propagandists to continue whining and to resume their politically motivated perversions of medical science. [More]
Just like their demands for citizen disaramament, it can never be enough for them. The prohibitionists funded by the elites and their foundations want you to be forced to pay for their lies, too. Look up “bullet fee.”
Davis Codea [Hah!] discusses ATF lies that put US Veteran in prison for 20 years. Lee Williams wrote the original story covered here on AAR by Lee on Tuesday’s show and Codrea follows up with his take on the travesty. Next, has Trump lived up to his promises for 2A EO’s reversing all of Biden’s EO’s on gun control as he said he would do on day one? David gives us the lowdown and his thoughts. [Listen]
I remember I made some typos once, but I did it so as not to offend Allah…
What that also means is that Menendez, a huge proponent of disarming law-abiding Americans, is designated a “prohibited person,” forbidden by federal (and New Jersey) law from owning a gun. [More]
A universal truth is that those who demand to control us can’t — or won’t –control themselves.
I’ll be joining Armed American Radio host Mark Walters this afternoon at 4 Eastern to talk about recent RKBA developments and some of my latest articles.
Listen/watch live or find a station near you at the AAR website.
