Notes from the Resistance
Armed Attorneys Emily Taylor & Richard Hayes discuss the major changes in self-defense law and how new legislation could shield gun owners from civil lawsuits after a justified use of force. If these laws pass, could it mean an end to financially devastating lawsuits for self-defenders? [More]

As a tangentially-related aside, with the death of Gene Hackman happening while I was gone, I caught 2003’s Runaway Jury last night for the first time (co-starring the handsy Little Big Mouth). What a piece of crap primer in cartoonish anti-gun scripting and legal incompetence/ malpractice/ lawbreaking that I recommend seeing if for no other reason than to slap your forehead at the clumsiness of the attacks, and to appreciate how 2005’s Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act shields us from much such subversive nonsense, but not enough.

It’s ironic that Jones has essentially been punished for “fake news,” the very thing The Onion exploits for its own profits. [More]
When it’s all said and done, my guess is these gloating (and ultimately humorless) prohibitionists are going to be anything but happy.
Mexican prohibitionists ignoring the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act to effect U.S. citizen disarmament are creatures that can only operate at the behest of cartel monsters who decapitate to terrorize. [More]
Who thinks the Framers included the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights so that animals from a failed narco-terrorist state abetted by treasonous domestic subversives could render it toothless through lawfare?
This lengthy lawsuit by the Maryland and D.C. attorneys general, as well as Everytown Law, accuses Engage Armament, LLC, United Gun Shop and Atlantic Guns, Inc. of ignoring clear signs of illegal gun sales. The lawsuit claims the purchases happened in Montgomery County, but led to gun violence across the area. [More]
Of course “background checks” aren’t enough — they were never intended to be.
I’m just surprised NSSF hasn’t joined in the pile-on.

Go with what works, right?
These people understand something “our side,” always playing defense, has yet to embrace.

C’mon, Bloomberg/Trace: Take credit for your part in it, along with the virtually unlimited special interest war chest these makers of a legal product, supposedly protected by the Second Amendment, just could not withstand.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey to Launch Legal Battle Against New York Over Unconstitutional Lawfare Against President Trump [More]
Will the courts recognize his “standing”?
And sorry to be jaded, but does this stand a snowball’s chance, or is he just attaching his name to a big story for political name recognition?

The rubicon has been crossed, now we must do everything in our power to elect Trump. The result at the ballot box MUST be overwhelming, and it will be! [More]
I wish I could say I shared his sense of assurance.

It is a crisis of the judicial system, a moment when the DOJ and the White House have taken part in the vilification of a political rival, who have orchestrated crimes against him in open court and without a single sense of modesty or restraint that the people would not see that as an assault against them personally? [More]
It is an assault against you personally. Remember, Trump is an avatar.

JUST IN: Judge Merchan has told the jury they do NOT need unanimity to convict.
This means:Four jurors could agree on the first crime (Falsifying Records)

The lawsuit alleged the HOA “was aware or should have been aware of Andrew Lester’s propensity for violence, access to dangerous weapons and racial animus.” [More]
What the backers behind this are going after is a reversal of Heller.
