Notes from the Resistance
A federal judge for the second time in two weeks has blocked a state ban against concealed weapons in places of worship from taking effect in Erie and Niagara counties. [More]
If a “historical understanding” is the standard under Bruen…

The mother of a 30-year-old Buffalo woman who was killed by her estranged husband told The Post that Gov. Kathy Hochul was just as responsible for the brutal slaying as the man who pulled the trigger. [More]
Not to give Hochul a break or anything, but it appears there were also some all-too-common poor choices in play here, and I wonder if Keaira imprinted off of Tammy in her man-selection acumen and if they both were Democrats.

Hochul touts “red flag” gun seizures as polls show crime top concern for New Yorkers [More]
It’s instructive how she minimizes concerns over pandering to a key Democrat constituent bloc by turning a blind eye to effectively addressing real crime, opting instead to go after citizens who have not been tried for or convicted of anything.
[Via Jess]
Pitiful, just pitiful. Corruption everywhere, members’ money being pocketed, embezzlers in the highest ranks, the Audit Committee covering everything up rather than investigating, and the spineless board being deceived and unwilling to object. [More]
Kinda makes me wanna go right out and join the Wine Club…

The Second Amendment Foundation today filed suit in federal court challenging the new concealed carry statute in New York State that, among other things, prohibits concealed carry in churches. [More]
The Democrat authors of that legislation evidently didn’t feel six seconds gave murderous attackers enough of an advantage.
UPDATE
And here’s another case:
The Second Amendment Foundation scored a victory in a ruling by a Tennessee Appeals Court panel striking down a gun ban by a public housing authority in the community of Columbia on the grounds it violates the Second Amendment, citing recent Supreme Court language in the case of New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen.
At least six New York sheriffs say they will exercise their discretion in enforcing the state’s new gun-control law, arguing the new measure unfairly targets law-abiding citizens… [More]
New York needs more sheriffs who equate Hochul with a tyrant and laugh about their “Biden moment”…

Law enforcement arrived at Zeldin’s home to obtain security footage of the incident from their home cameras, he said. He added that his daughters were “shaken” by the incident and that crime has run rampant in the state of New York. [More]
Unlike Hochul, he doesn’t blame the guns.
Now he’s within 3 percentage points of her, which just weeks ago seemed impossible.
And guess who is polling at 3% and what his position is on “vibrant immigration” with “two Ellis Islands on the Southern border…”?
I don’t suppose he’d care to take a little challenge…

The Department of Justice’s Statement of Interest informs the Court that the United States has serious concerns about the proliferation of untraceable firearms easily assembled from firearm parts kits and unfinished frames and receivers. [More]
Well, yeah. If we don’t know about them, how are we expected to confiscate them?

A man who spent 16 years in prison for a 2004 school shooting in upstate New York was attacked by a sword-wielding vagrant at the homeless shelter where he now works — and he’s going viral with candid TikTok updates on his recovery. Jon Romano, who was released from prison in 2020, had to have his arms reattached after they were severed in the terrifying Aug. 29 attack in Albany, that also left him with severe injuries to his head and legs… [More]
Finally — a “prohibited person” who was effectively disarmed…

Yesterday, Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) re-filed a federal lawsuit in the Northern District of New York over the poorly named Concealed Carry Improvement Act, which took effect September 1st. Several additional plaintiffs who are willing to break the law or are currently in violation have joined the lawsuit, which was originally filed on behalf of a GOA member from Schenectady County. [More]
I posted this to my WoG Placeholder site because all that’s up on the GOA site at this writing is their July announcement.
Take that to mean you can’t have a permitted gun with you in a private automobile, either. The entire city is being turned into a “patchwork quilt” designed to make it impossible to travel within its limits without violating the law. [More]
By ignoring the Supreme Court’s decision with impunity, this has effectively become not just a real insurrection, but a sanctioned secession.
SAF FILES FEDERAL CHALLENGE TO NEW YORK’S NEW GUN CONTROL SCHEME [More]
In a rational world, they wouldn’t have to.
Hochul is saying she will comply with the Bruen rulings by making it more difficult to acquire a concealed handgun carry license. In other words, “I, Kathy Hochul, will comply with the Bruen rulings by not complying with them.” Huh! [More]
This will continue until rights enforcement slaps cuffs on her and all her co-conspirators.
Besides which, the DSM has dumbed enough constituents in “our democracy” down enough to be on her side.

In celebration of New York’s new gun control law taking effect on September 1, Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul claimed: “This whole concept that a good guy with a gun will stop the bad guys with a gun, it doesn’t hold up. And the data bears this out, so that theory is over.” [More]
I know someone who would not only disagree with that from personal experience, but in private he’d call her a name that rhymes with…
Funny. Her security team hasn’t disbanded.

Senate Bill S9528 was introduced by Manhattan State Senator Brad Hoylman on Aug. 12 and, if passed, would require any vehicle manufactured or registered in the state of New York to be fitted with the ISA system, starting from Jan. 1, 2024. [More]
What do you think, Brad? You OK with this, too?

“People question, like, why do you need my driver’s license for ammo?” Adamski said. “I’m 70 years old, and why are you taking all this information? So, I mean, people are apprehensive about it. I mean, most people understand it. You know it’s not me, it’s the state. But you know there are some people that are just they don’t know why, it’s so absurd to them.” [More]
Yeah, well, where have they been? And how do they vote?
I honest to God think if I were an FFL and some self-imposed ignoramus asked me that I’d tell him to get the hell out of my store, I’m saving my inventory for those who deserve it.
This is the clueless-by-choice population the antis exploit when they tell us “x% of gun owners support” more infringements.

Plaintiffs seek a declaration that New York’s limitations of and burdens on the right to carry firearms as enacted in Senate Bill 51001 (“SB51001”) and as otherwise detailed below are unconstitutional under the First, Second, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. Plaintiffs also seek an injunction compelling Defendants to refrain from enforcing those invalid limitations. [More]
Unless and until the in-your-face stonewallers face personal consequences, they know they’ll have virtually limitless plunder resources to draw from. And if they can wait things out, the plan is for total control so that current legal decisions will no longer impede.

I found myself channeling Gary Coleman over this so found it advisable to post GOA’s latest email over at my WarOnGuns Placeholder blog because I don’t see it on their site yet.
