Notes from the Resistance
“The National Shooting Sports Foundation challenges a new state gun law as violating its members’ constitutional rights. But we see little evidence that enforcement is looming,” wrote Judge Stephanos Bibas, a former President Trump appointee. [More]
I rest my case. Even if “Bubba” says it’s stupid because he made a kneejerk assumption and missed the point.

How much competency must a citizen demonstrate in order to vote and be protected by any of the other Amendments?
One question I did not see addressed, so perhaps one of you who knows will educate me in “Comments”: If an “Only One” fails the test, how soon (and often) can they retake it, and does the same standard apply to “civilians”?
One more question: Who thinks Newark triggermorons give a damn?
A federal appeals court has restored most of New Jersey’s new gun control laws limiting firearms in sensitive public places after overturning a lower court ruling blocking many restrictions while a legal challenge plays out. [More]
Here’s the order. If someone gets killed as a result of it, I wonder how much sleep the judges will lose.
Krause was appointed by Obama and Chung was appointed by Biden. The one that concerns me here is Porter, appointed by Trump.

Colleague José Niño examines the varied and in-your-face ways states are getting away with undermining the right to keep and bear arms and gets some quotes from one of my favorite people along the way…

After all, where better to take our moral guidance from than the Archdiocese of Newark?
Here’s a better idea: You guys first.
There’s something more than a little bit blasphemous about a fool presuming to speak with true authority. So naturally, they’re talking about making this moron Pope.

A federal judge has issued a preliminary injunction against numerous parts of New Jersey’s Bruen response bill. Read the 235-page opinion in our lawsuit… [More]
I’ll have to get to it later. If you’ve got time to read it today, feel free to give the Cliff’s Notes version in comments.
The state attorney general’s office is now the lead investigating agency in this quadruple shooting. As we wait to learn more about the victims – including that 7 year old child – and the circumstances that led to this tragedy. [More]

Then her father did “what any dad would—he went to hug his crying kid,” says Kaplan. “And at that point he was arrested. With handcuffs.” [More]
What can I say but “New Jersey“?
Things sure have changed since I was his daughter’s age. Kids playing unsupervised outside was the norm back in the days before widespread Ritalin prescriptions, school shootings, “single mothers,” DEI, “groomers,” and “gender dysphoria”.
For this reason, I will be introducing the Safer Neighborhoods Gun Buyback Act of 2023… [Watch]
If at first you don’t succeed, right, genius?
Democrat constituents do it to themselves– and not just politically.
The object is to not let them do it to the rest of us.

The mayor of East Hanover, New Jersey, and all four members of the township council have switched from the Democrat to the Republican Party. [More]
So when are they going to do something about this?

The specific additional “sensitive places” designations that are challenged in the amended lawsuit include parks, beaches, recreational facilities or playgrounds or areas owned or controlled by a state, county or local government unit, plus youth sports events, an airport or public transportation hub, and various health care facilities. These areas were designated “sensitive” because the New Jersey Legislature was determined to “continue minimizing the carry of handguns as much as possible,” the lawsuit notes. [More]
Honestly, who ever heard of anyone being attacked in any of those places?
A federal judge on Monday extended an order preventing New Jersey officials from enforcing the state’s sweeping new concealed carry restrictions, dealing another blow to a law championed by gun control advocates, Gov. Phil Murphy and his allies in the Legislature. [More]
And he’d have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for you darned activists!
FEDERAL JUDGE GRANTS TRO IN SAF CHALLENGE OF NEW JERSEY GUN LAW [More]
I’m wondering at what point a judge is going to start sanctioning state defendants for clearly engaging in deliberate defiance and delays, and making it personal.

So is the First sometimes, when being abused by the DSM.
It looks like there’s more to it than two paragraphs, but since I know where this is going I see no need to register to endure more lying subversion from impotent cultist punks who tolerate no apostasy.

What’s this? The suspect is a felon?
No worries. New Jersey Democrats are about to make things a lot harder on… uh… the “law-abiding”…

New Jersey lawmakers want to solidify the state’s standing of having some of the toughest gun laws in the nation by requiring people to have liability insurance for concealed carry and add to the list of places firearms will be banned in public. [More]
I guess the historical understanding here is Democrats intend to resume the economic discrimination against armed minorities they invented in the Black Codes…

This is a noisemaking publicity move to turn out the useful idiot blue vote in advance of the midterms. As such, expect it to die the same death as its arm-waving predecessor.
For now. The violence monopolists are working toward the day when they no longer need half measures.

So the “historical understanding” is that flintlock pistols were to be kept unloaded and locked in the back of the carriage and you could not have them where the “authorities” declared off-limits …?

Hospital employee arrested after 39 guns, ammo found in office closet [More]
I can’t really find anything about the guy aside from this story, but the bottom line from what’s been reported is he’s facing years in prison, he hasn’t hurt anybody, and if the stuff was his, unless and until he abuses others with it, it’s his birthright to have…
Could be he’s a lunatic. Without due process before disarmament, we can’t legitimately tell. And New Jersey “Only Ones” aren’t exactly the benchmark to use…

“By adopting this ordinance, the Borough Council will make it clear that our public buildings, such as our schools, our library and our community center, should be free from the dangers of unlicensed, poorly trained or troubled gun owners, while accepting our law enforcement officers who are doing their duty.” [More]

Although the majority’s ruling impacts our century-old justifiable need requirement for carrying firearms, it does not change any other aspect of New Jersey’s public carry law. To be clear: Carrying a handgun without a permit is still illegal in this state, and all other requirements for obtaining a carry permit still apply. [More]
And like our totalitarian counterparts in California, we will continue to throw every obstacle that will take years to clear that we can think of in the way.
It’s called being a Faubus.
