Notes from the Resistance
New York makes it easier to get an abortion than to adopt a baby thanks in part to Hochul admin edict, critics say [More]
Dealing with the wrong end of this, aren’t we? Who doesn’t know how babies are made?
The rest is just expecting someone else to deal with choices made by others.
You know, the Democrat agenda.
No civilization can endure when such burdens are forced. And that’s kind of the plan…

We are proud to endorse former Congressman @Tom_Suozzi
in the critical special election for NY-03! From helping pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to working to get dangerous weapons off the streets of his community, Congressman Suozzi is a proven leader on gun safety. [More]
Just to be clear: They support a politican disarming you who justified taking up arms against a lawfully elected Donald Trump, the law enforcement and military under his command, and his citizen supporters.
And what’s worse is that while Suozzi showed he perfectly understands the ultimate last resort provision against tyranny behind the Second Amendment, he actively works to undermine it in his quest for power over the lives of his countrymen. [More]
Suozzi’s idea of “gun violence prevention” is to disarm you and me and start an armed uprising.
The resignation of Wayne LaPierre on the eve of the trial in New York has generated letters to Judge Joel Cohen from both sides. In addition, the pre-trial memorandum containing the NRA’s trial brief seems to throw Wayne under the bus after three plus years of defending him. [More]
A lot more than Wayne will have to end up under those wheels if they ever hope to restore any credibility.
I’m hearing rumors that they may be looking to had the reins over to Lautenberg Bob. If they really want to kill it dead, I can’t think of a better way.

That’s why he’s been hanging on for dear life.

Gun Control Advocates Mystified that New Yorkers Would Turn To The Second Amendment [More]
I’m mystified that a “gun rights leader” would come to this conclusion without some hard evidence that they’re ready to stop being Democrats.
New York to Consider Reparations for Descendants of Enslaved People [More]
How about reparations for descendants of New Yorkers enslaved to free them who are now being enslaved to pay for it all.
“We recognize that ‘good moral character’ is a spongy concept susceptible to abuse.” [More]
Like the definition of “pornography“? Or “woman“?
I wonder if a Second Amendment advocate who believes it is a bulwark against domestic tyranny could be disqualified…
And if that would be sufficient to bring a libel suit…

So much for “the supreme Law of the Land”…
After yesterday’s premature celebration, WarOnGuns Correspondent Andy M wanted to add further documentation that Jeanine Pirro ain’t quite the pro-gun pal she’s posturing as.
”This was apparently a munitions factory,” Mrs. Pirro said. ”The defendant, a machinist by trade, was making his own weapons.”
Andy writes:
I know you’re not from liar Pirro’s back yard as I am, but if you really want dirt on this wench, see how she prosecuted Jim Neff from Dobbs Ferry on gun charges. Then the next time some ignorant gun owner claims she’s good on 2A, [tell] them and him she’s a wench. Jim was a member of one of my gun clubs.
The judge at the sentencing hearing even called it “a hobby that got out of control.”
Jim did hard State time and the wench’s office made sure he served it in Malone which is near the Canadian border so his mother couldn’t see him much. He could have done time in downstate or Fishkill which are the max state owns that every NYC criminal with a family gets because they are only a 1.25 hour train run North of Manhattan.
A friend of mine had lunch with him after he was released and said he was a totally different man.
Pirro is a snake.
One more thing to note on the case… Neff bought a lot of the unregistered handguns from local only ones but never rolled on them which also enraged the prosecutors.
The Supreme Court’s 2022 decision in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen found that a central part of New York’s licensing process, requiring a special need to obtain a concealed-carry permit, violated the Second Amendment. Because of this, Rivera reasoned, New York can no longer presume that everyone who possesses an unlicensed firearm intends to use it illegally. [More]
The presumption ought to be that licenses are illegal.

Court Ruling Allows State to Seize Citizens for Indefinite Quarantine and Isolation – Due Process No More?… That’s the lesson out of a recent ruling by a New York state appeals court that effectively upheld the right of state officials to arbitrarily seize and detain pretty much any person they deem necessary. [More]
And where does self-defense against kidnapping come in…?

New York Gun Law: NRA Wins Compensation in Supreme Court Ruling [More]
How do you read the full story? I only see a headline, a clickbait slideshow and a summary description.
I had the same problem with another link someone sent me.
I guess the answer is just avoid MSN, and in this case, it looks like they’re riffing off almost two-month-old news.
And here come the narrative media denials…
I’d say this has risen to the court/election interference level where it warrants a Justice Department subpoena and investigation to see who’s playing whom…
Who would be against it?
Supreme Court to Consider Allegations of Free Speech Violations by New York Official in NRA Case [More]
Who thought Democrats would be content to stop at the Second Amendment?
Even Vox grudgingly calls Vullo’s actions “incomprehensibly stupid” and says “NRA poised to win big.”

Anti-violence program director pleads guilty … Seven search warrants led to the seizure of more than 1,500 grams of crack cocaine with a street value of about $50,000, according to the Orange County district attorney’s office. Law enforcement also seized more than $167,000 and three illegally possessed handguns. [More]
As noted earlier, I haven’t been this impressed with a “commonsense gun safety” advocate since Hector “Big Weasel” Marroquin.

…the lawyers for the plaintiff, specifically attorney Stephen Stamboulieh, an excellent lawyer — we’ve talked a lot about him before — uh, Stephen has done a great job in a lot of cases including the Antonyuk case, and he wrote a very powerful opposition to this making a whole host of arguments as to why this is no good and, uh, I will put a link to his brief down below his motion to strike… [Watch]
It’s nice to see a “small cadre” member getting bigger.

When the bill predictably fails to reduce New York homicides (because it’s focused on all the wrong things, like not on the criminals), look for new hysterical and pointless demands, like banning out-of-state sales, banning “straw purchases” of printers, banning printer parts, and blaming “red” states with “lax printer laws.” And let’s not forget banning possession of 3D printers by prohibited persons, to be expanded to anyone under a restraining order, on a watchlist, or “red-flagged,” followed by “may issue” permits for anyone else who wants one. [More]
You can’t cite the Founders out of one side of your mouth and then undermine everything they stood for out of the other. Well, you could if you’re a New York Democrat bragging about your foreign values…
New York Bill Would Require a Criminal Background Check to Buy a 3D Printer [More]
I may just write this one up there’s so much to unpack.
The state was appealing the lower court’s decision against Governor Kathy Hochul’s quarantine camp law. The law granted power to the state to seal anyone in an apartment or take them to a camp without evidence of infection or exposure, without due process, and with no termination date. In other words, the law was totalitarian. [More]
What kind of anti-government extremist seditious conspirator would oppose that…?
It does help clarify who the SAFE Act is supposed to help keep safe…

You guys are going to have to do more than “wishing” and teaching your members how to comply with infringements.
And before virtue signaling “Legal immigration is beneficial to America,” you might want to check the numbers on how they vote, because 60% Democrat to 15% Republican sure doesn’t sound that way.

Legislation (S. 3436/A. 5835) Exempts Applications for an ERPO from Requiring an Index Number Fee … Since the new legislation was enacted in June 2022, the number of Extreme Risk Protection Orders has increased by ten times. [More]
Kathy Hochul just made revenge affordable for all!
That’s OK– the government is still saving plenty of money by not requiring a trial first before pronouncing a sentence.
