Notes from the Resistance
The ruling is major for many reasons, including that the government tried to claim that charter boat fishing is a “closely-regulated industry” to which the Fourth Amendment does not apply. [More]
Ah, the Scarborough Doctrine of authorized free speech exercisers…
And don’t forget Hogg’s Resurrected Postulate…

“After reading about the history of the second amend and talking with a lot of hist & law professors- I believe the second amendment has been intentionally misinterpreted. It was never meant as an individual right it was created to protect state militias like the national guard.” [More]
What did he read and who did he talk to?
Is there anything more endearing than ignorance presented with arrogance? Now that he’s achieved Constitutional godhead, maybe he can produce the evidence ACLU failed to back before he was born…?

Yes: Tobacco. The tobacco industry is exactly the model that I think of in terms of the decades of work that it will take to address this issue.” [More]
You know, “dirty, deadly, and banned.”
But no one is talking about taking your guns.
As an aside, “journalist” Rita Braver, with her practiced “empathy,” is obviously performing for the camera. I wonder how many viewers realized that was to manipulate their emotions while they were being presented with only one side and the wrong side at that.
What can I say but “CBS“?

David Hogg, Parkland school shooting survivor and gun control activist, to speak at Cal Poly [More]
Makes as much sense as having Gabby lead the Rose Parade…
I’m sure the betas will swoon. What’s he going to talk about? How to be an obnoxious little b!+ch?

‘How low was this bar?’ President Biden has ‘FAR exceeded’ David Hogg’s expectations [More]
You know what else exceeds all expectations? After months of free nationwide media publicity still exploiting his name even after he resigned, the number of Good Pillow Facebook followers:
I’m (not really) surprised these “progressives” don’t have any people of color on their page. Who do we tell that to?

Gun Rights Make for Good Manners and Safe Nations [More]
For proof, look at how childishly rude those who don’t believe in them are.

It’s no fun having to play by your own garbage rules, is it? [More]
The Hogglet gets a lesson in Alinsky Rule 4 through the judicious application of Alinsky Rule 5.

The second amendment is a collective, not an individual right. Hamilton knew this (see Federalist paper 29) as did the courts for several hundred years. The modern version of the second amendment only exists because of decades of work by the gun lobby to change what 2A meant. [More]
Sure, Hamilton knew people had trades to ply, farms to tend, shops to keep, and to earn the status of “well regulated” and be able to compete with a professional army “would be injurious” due to the time commitment required. Here’s what he thought we should do about that:
“Little more can reasonably be aimed at, with respect to the people at large than to have them properly armed and equipped.”
Then they’d bring their weapons of war and muster once or twice a year to practice drill.
“You can disagree with this all you want. I’m entitled to my own opinion as are you,” he asserts in a later tweet.
“You are entitled to your opinion,” Daniel Patrick Moynihan (and no friend of 2A) famously said. “But you are not entitled to your own facts.”
Being ignorant is bad enough. Being arrogant about it is a real stool sample move.

David Hogg removed from congressional hearing after angry outburst over guns [More]
Just the person we should listen to on controlling the rest of us– some little fascist who can’t control himself!
“If you invite me to dinner that’s all I’m gonna talk about. Have me over to your party and it’s going to be, ‘Dobbs, Dobbs, and more Dobbs!’ And I won’t stop until Roe is reinstated and 51% of Congress is female.” [More]
I think I have a quick fix for this.
I haven’t been this broken up since David Hogg threatened to not have children (although I confess I hadn’t realized he was into women, or more to the point, that any woman would be into him, and then I remembered that the new wisdom is that men can get pregnant and that he could always inseminate himself, which some of us have been telling him to do for some time.)
DAVID HOGG PROMISES NOT TO HAVE CHILDREN IF WE KEEP ROE V. WADE OVERTURNED AND VALUE GUN RIGHTS [More]
A Van Helen* song comes to mind. But it’s overshadowed by Tommy Lee.

* Oops. Sorry, just trying to mollify Allah.
Hours after the anti-gun March For Our Lives rally crossed through Louisville, Kentucky, five teenagers were wounded in a shooting at a waterfront park Saturday night, according to police. [More]
I’m not sure I see a correlation/causation nexus, but this does say something about the reformative value of such efforts.
Perhaps David Hogg & Co. would be more effective if, instead of holding rallies in public places protected by armed enforcers, they made personal face-to-face appeals to gang members and spoke to them young person to young person…
Unless they’re disproportionately afraid based on race…
