Notes from the Resistance
Dem congresswoman indicted for ‘particularly selfish’ alleged theft of FEMA relief funds for campaign use [More]
If you’re not afraid to steal people’s guns, why would you be afraid to steal their money?
It goes with a communist entitlement mentality:
We shouldn’t have to explain to our children why Congress took dinner off the table.
You shouldn’t have to explain why “Congress” needs to feed them.
“We respect the Second Amendment and want people to know their rights and adhere to the law,” Chief Troche said. [More]
That’s why you gear up for war when citizens know their rights better than you do, Chief?
And with Sarasota leaning Republican, how is it the commission is dominated by Democrats?
Publix has confirmed it will allow customers to openly carry firearms inside its Florida stores, following a court ruling that struck down the state’s long-standing open carry ban. In a statement to 7News, a spokesperson for Publix said the grocery chain “follows all federal, state and local laws” and emphasized that “treating customers with dignity and respect is a founding belief.” [More]
Well, that ought p!$$ off the same people who endorse a Democrat who wants to shoot Republicans in the head.
They sure had no trouble gloating when they thought they were winning.

“We are hearing rumblings already that some allegedly pro-gun Republicans are already cooking up ideas to roll back the impact of the ruling,” he said. “We’re hearing things like what kind of retention-level holster the sheriffs will demand people use. If anything like that comes out, the Florida Sheriffs Association is behind it and we will fight it.” [More]
They probably want to make them easier for their DEI hires to remove.
Hey, backi the khaki, right?

UPDATE
Renner believes he may have the “unifying” message conservative voters are looking for. [More]
If that message includes stabbing gun owners in the back and then acting like they have no one else to vote for, look for a lot of them to sit on their hands and prepare for the real civil war a Democrat victory ambitious Quislings like this are making inevitable.
On Wednesday, the Florida First District Court of Appeal ruled that the state’s open carry ban is unconstitutional, saying that it conflicts with the Second Amendment’s guarantee of the right to bear arms. [More]
All eyes are on James Uthmeier…

Florida’s new tax holiday expands to all guns and ammo [More]
Are they still going to make gun owners fund the Fudds, who then turn around and go all gunkapo on them?
And yeah, saving a few bucks is always nice, but there are much bigger fish to fry.

Florida Urges SCOTUS to Grant Cert in NRA’s Challenge to its Young Adult Purchase Ban and to Rule its Own Law Unconstitutional [More]
If they’d get their own idiot Republican leadership in line…

These offensive “justifications” being argued by Florida Republicans sound like the kind of polemics to be expected from rabid Moms Demand Action zealots and ranting Democrat demagogues. That they would be made in an administration where Gov. Ron DeSantis is widely touted as being “pro-gun” and where Florida State Attorney General James Uthmeier recently refused to defend the under-21 long gun ban enacted after the Parkland shootings, goes beyond cognitive dissonance. [More]
With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
The Daily Beast on Wednesday published a story appearing to criticize Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ approval of executions for five veterans found guilty of rape and murder. [More]
Those behind it know damn well if you exempt them, equal protection would mean you need to exempt everyone, which is the real goal here.

GOA & GOF File for Summary Judgment to Overturn Florida’s Open Carry Ban [More]
’bout damn time. Before someone gets killed.
So, will Uthmeier and DeSantis stand down, like they did with a challenge to the under 21 long gun ban, or fight, and in any case, all the Supreme Court has to do to keep the prohibition in place is something they’ve proven very adept at: Nothing.
Sorry it took so long to reply– I was away for several days. The video incident happened before FL passed permitless carry. In retrospect, I should have pointed that out. [More]
The “Only One,” who doesn’t know the law and who said he had respect for an amendment he couldn’t even properly number, was instructing his victim to break another law.
If that’s coming from a sergeant, imagine the street grunt’s legal acumen.
There is something that is in DeSantis’ power to do that can mitigate that danger without having to rely on oath-breaking Republican power players… [More]
One simple, proactive order that is within the governor’s power to issue could minimize the chances of lawful open carriers being endangered by police ignorance of the law.
So, why not ask him what he told NRA to get them to mobilize their members on his behalf? [More]
Or to paraphrase Sir Wilfrid in Witness for the Prosecution, “The question is, Mr. Jolly, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?”
The text of the Second Amendment encompasses the purchase of firearms by 18-to20-year-olds, as the en banc majority below did not dispute, Pet.App.43a–44a, and as the majority was also forced to acknowledge, “the Founding era lacked express prohibitions on the purchase of firearms” by 18-to-20-year-olds. Id. at 30a. Indeed, the eighteenth century laws that come closest to reflecting a “Founding-era policy on age and firearms”—militia laws throughout the Nation obliging eighteen-year-olds to muster for militia service bearing firearms they were legally obligated to acquire for themselves—in fact “reflect the policy that eighteen- to twenty-one-year-olds should be armed.” Id. at 159a (Brasher, J., dissenting). That should have been the beginning and the end of any suggestion that Florida’s age ban “is consistent with this Nation’s historical tradition of firearm regulation.” New York State Rifle & Pistol Ass’n v. Bruen, 597 U.S. 1, 17 (2022). [More]
With DeSantis backing NRA, what leg is Mark Glass still standing on?

Armed self-defense is “moronic.” Voting against it is “common sense.” [More]
With “Republicans” like this, who needs Democrats?
Ron DeSantis Mocks State GOP’s Lack of Support for Open Carry: ‘Are We Florida or Are We San Francisco?’ [More]
That’s what years of supporting “the lesser of two evils” vs. taking a hit now and sending an unequivocal message to the party for who they’d better put up next time gets us.
Then again, what the hell do I know?
