Notes from the Resistance
Gun Sales Dip Below 1 Million for First Time in 6 Years [More]
Lotta reasons for that, including guns last a long time if you take care of them. And it looks like diversity isn’t the salvation some are acting like it will be.
Me, I’m more concerned about downstream effects: No sales, no advertising.
And there’s more of that to come.
It is clear the FBI does not want anyone outside the FBI to analyze the NICS data, or to have access to the data showing the statistics of errors in the NICS data. [More]
That’s their call…why?
And why aren’t gun owners flooding Kash Patel and Dan Bongino’s X feeds demanding compliance?
Privacy in Arms Should be a Second Amendment Norm [More]
We’ve seen what can happen when it’s not.
Unlicensed Dealers Account for less than 1 of 10,000 Firearms Sold in USA [More]

The two letters show opposite assumptions about reality and the role of governments. The NY letter assumes guns are bad, and ordinary citizens should not have guns, because ordinary citizens do bad things with guns. The letter from the 28 states assumes government is subordinate to the people, government must defend the nation, and an armed population aids the government in defending the nation against all enemies. These two assumptions about reality are in direct conflict. [More]

Professor Saul Cornell has long taken the position the Second Amendment does not mean what it says [More]
Or as I like to call him, the Slippin’ Jimmy of the revisionist history movement.
Review: The History of Bans on Types of Arms Before 1900 [More]
In short, if the grabbers are looking for something from the Founding Era to support “historical context” to justify an “assault weapon” ban, they’re not going to find it.
It figures that the lame argument that no one considered the Second Amendment to be an individual right until recently proves to be the exact opposite of the truth. That’s because all the citizen disarmament zealots have are lies.
Why the Second Amendment Applies Especially to Travelers [More]
Good stuff. I’m surprised this was left out:
“It would give to persons of the negro race, who were recognised as citizens in any one State of the Union, the right to … keep and carry arms wherever they went.”
And yeah, I’m hip to “give.”
