Notes from the Resistance
“[Security guards] are not there to protect the product,” said Joseph Stein, director of asset protection solutions for Walgreen, during the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce “Anti-Crime Summit” on Thursday. “They are there to de-escalate [a situation] and to protect the customer and the employees,” he added.

Phase One: Unarmed Guards
Phase Two: ?
Phase Three: Protection!
Rivera, a gun owner, was illustrating that the Second Amendment didn’t cover modern firearms capable of mass killings when the amendment was ratified in 1791. And that AR-15-style rifles go far beyond self-defense. [More]
Ah, the long-debunked “The Founders could have never imagined” bullsh!+.
Figures this moron would be spreading it.
I recall writing an Examiner article years back where a guy was prosecuted for having a muzzleloader in New York City. I can’t find it now and don’t recall the details, but it would be funny if Geraldo incriminated himself.
How he got it in the studio is another question.
And figures, HuffPo would think he won the argument.

Anything you whoop can and will be held against you? Sounds more like they were given a pass, but don’t be surprised if bodycams really were turned on to share the amusement.

Supreme Court rejects New York gun retailers’ bid to block new concealed carry laws [More]
How the same court that ruled on Bruen could refuse to block this has Yul baffled.
I’m not sure it’s the “major blow” this is being presented as, and it could be there’s some 3D chess going on by Thomas and some others to allow lower court challenges to continue, but Lord knows I’ve been dead wrong in trying to figure out what it takes to acknowledge “shall not be infringed” before.
Maybe somebody’s got pictures?

It looks like Roxanne Persaud is trying to resurrect her bill to limit ammunition for “assault weapons.” (There’s nothing I could find about this yet on her website or social media feeds, or the NY State Senate’s legislative search feature.)
Remember when she tried in 2015 for “rational ammunition control”– with Tucker pal Eric Adams at her side raving about “blood-soaked carnage” and “When terrorists seek – and succeed – to take advantage of our loose laws to murder innocent people”? And how, after attempting to pass an edict so enforcers could use up to lethal force to eviscerate the right to arms that she played the victim and called NRA’s announcement picture (above) a threat proving NRA is dangerous and violent?
That’s just what Americans who won’t surrender their birthright need– a refugee from Guyana dictating to them what they may and may not own. I wonder how her native land’s prohibition on homosexuals acts would play with her current constituents — and if she’s so damn “progressive,” why she’s not leading the charge for reforms there?

The indictment against Cory Davis, 41, was unsealed Monday, weeks after he sent a photo of his young son holding two of the weapons to a group chat with family and friends on Nov. 7, the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office said. The photo alarmed one of the recipients, who notified the NYPD, and sent it the snap, prosecutors said. [More]

NYC bill preventing landlords from performing criminal background checks gains traction – New York City Mayor Eric Adams has suggested he supports the legislation [More]
Seeing as how the vast majority of people this will affect vote Democrat, I say go for it. Maybe force landlords to offer preferential discounts to them because they’ve been socially disenfranchised…

He can’t be trusted with an ax… he can’t be trusted with a can of spray paint… he can’t be trusted with somebody else’s bicycle… it’s almost like there’s a lesson to be learned here that society can’t quite (or doesn’t want to) put its finger on…

Mayor Eric Adams signed legislation Tuesday establishing how the city will make Times Square a gun-free zone even as the state law underpinning the policy was overturned in federal court. [More]
Just to be clear: They will prosecute you for not complying with their illegal edict. And if you resist, they will kill you.
This is tyranny that merits being met with all force necessary to overthrow it and to punish the criminal usurpers imposing and enforcing it.
Not that New Yorkers will. Instead, the full forces of both the state and the feds will be brought to bear against anyone rising up to resist it. And any who believe in the Constitution’s limited delegation of powers and the Bill of Rights will be branded “anti-government” and a “seditious conspirator.”
I wonder when Tucker’s going to have this incompetent, megalomaniacal bastard back on…
