Notes from the Resistance
N.Y. Federal Judge Upholds N.Y. Stun Gun/Taser Ban… “[T]he Second Amendment does not protect those weapons not typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” Therefore, Plaintiffs must show that stun guns and tasers are in “common use” today, and that they are “typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes.” [More]

GOA and GOF have officially submitted our petition for a writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court in Antonyuk v. James! This case began as a direct challenge to New York’s unconstitutional attempt to ban concealed carry by declaring nearly every location a “sensitive place.” But now, it’s become a battle over lower courts defying SCOTUS rulings. [Watch]
Note the first name on the petition…

It sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and Founding era thought leaders weren’t big on “select militias.” [More]
Letting those with an agenda redefine terms ignores the real argument.
Democrats sue GOP county executive over armed volunteer unit they say amounts to an illegal militia [More]
So the ones who scream “It says well regulated!” freak when someone takes them at their word…?
In fact though, this sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and the Founders weren’t big on “select militias.”

What this means is Adams has damaging information that could help Trump take them down for weaponizing the justice system against him.

Under current law, New York’s governor has 10 days to declare a special election for a vacant seat and an additional 80 to 90 days to hold the election. Stefanik’s seat is key for the Republican Party and Trump’s second administration, as Republicans hold a slim majority at 218 members to the Democrats’ 215 members. [More]
So why does Trump think it’s more important to have a UN ambassador?

A former New York state trooper who claimed he had been shot on a Long Island highway by an unknown gunman, setting off a multistate manhunt, actually shot himself and took the gun to his home, a prosecutor said Monday. [More]

A suburban New York police department routinely violated residents’ civil rights, including making illegal arrests and using unnecessary strip and cavity searches, according to a new U.S. Department of Justice report. [More]
Can we presume their bodycams weren’t the only things turned on?
And the badged @$$holes who lied were only docked and aren’t in jail? Why do I wonder if one of them called “Riccola” during the cavity search?

And note the Constitution doesn’t just say that executive officers have to take the oath—it says they are “BOUND” by it. That means once she volitionally “unbinds” herself, she’s in violation of a non-negotiable requirement and must be removed from office. [More]

In response to President-elect Trump’s immigration plans, some New York Democratic legislators are considering secession from the United States. State Senator Liz Krueger has proposed the idea of New York becoming a new province of Canada, arguing that this move could alleviate Canada’s burden of enforcing illegal border crossings. “It’s not unreasonable to think outside of the box,” said Krueger.

Right, reject every terrible sacrifice that made American unique and great, and return to the king. Funny, how an Opposite Day “progressive” wants to return to the system that was rejected two-and-a-half centuries ago.
There may be unintended consequences for her in this. I’ll do an article for next week to explain.
A federal judge has ruled that a constitutional challenge to New York state’s ban on selling bulletproof vests to civilians can move forward. The ruling by U.S. District Court Judge John Sinatra Jr. rejected a motion from state Attorney General Letitia James and other New York officials to dismiss a challenge, ruling the plaintiffs have standing to sue the state over the restrictions.

“Commonsense gun safety law advocate” Letitia not only wants to disarm you, she wants her shock troops to be able to more easily kill you with their “weapons of war.”

Yet I’ll bet they overwhelmingly vote Democrat.
The face diapers work as well as his “gun laws.” How’d they let the one guy in without one?
Let’s be clear. Allowing Trump to hold an event at MSG is equivalent to the infamous Nazis rally at Madison Square Garden on February 20, 1939 [More]
That may be you he’s talking about.
Solid blue district Democrats don’t even try to hide their Antifa affinities.

Great narrative talking point PR release masked as “news,” “real reporter” Jamie Deline! And nice trick burying the tepid non-rebuttal at the very end to make it seem like both sides weighed in.
Well, you can pay the rent this month, but I really didn’t see anything here that Gemini or Chat GPT couldn’t do cheaper.

Shoemaker submitted his original response to the complaint on Sept. 18, including a defense reading: “There was and will be no Constitutional violation in enforcing the statute because the phrase ‘bear arms’ is a 1791-era idiom referring to military or militia service. Plaintiffs have failed to plead their involvement in a militia.” [More]
He “loves history“? You can’t prove it by this.
This is the quality of moron presuming to detemine your rights in New York? What repercussions will this douche suffer?
Looks like the county prosecutor is just as big of an @$$hole.
To those praising the “Only One” for “deescalation,” this was elitism writ large. He knew who she was and who she knows. Imagine what he would have done to her if she weren’t the DA, that is, to you and me, for the same behavior.
All she had to do was “apologize,” and she’s back to having the uniforms put you and me behind bars for claiming our rights.

Then why should I believe someone who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment won’t betray us on semiautos the first chance he gets to distance himself from another “gun-free zone” exploitation?
She has such a huge lead anyway, why should the gun owners in her district who aren’t Fudds bust their humps on a losing battle to push for a betrayer with an (R) after his name, and what message would that send the GOP on acceptable candidates?

I see some “gunfluencers” treating this as a good thing. It’s not.
