Notes from the Resistance
The matter began when Philpotts, while facing rape charges, was convicted of a weapons charge in 2018. The charge, possessing weapons under disability, often means a person convicted of a violent crime cannot have a firearm. In Philpotts’ case, he was merely accused of a violent crime. The rape charges against him were later dropped, but his firearm conviction remained. [More]
That would appear to be a no-brainer. Unfortunately, we’re dealing with no gunsers.

SCOTUS ruling against Yost clears path for effort to abolish qualified immunity for police to advance [More]
“Law and order” Republicans need to figure out who we need that law and order for, and why.
Just goes to show: I’ve liked Yost, and Thomas and Alito, but we’ll never agree with everyone on everything.

The 14 members appointed so far represent immigrant communities from Ghana, Haiti, India, Kenya, Liberia, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia, and South Korea. A fifteenth spot has not been filled yet after an applicant withdrew. [More]
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue.” And I have that on good authority.

House Dem in Ohio Swing District Turns to Liberal Firebrand Jasmine Crockett for Fundraising Help – Emilia Sykes launched joint fundraising committee with Crockett shortly after infamous ‘Governor Hot Wheels’ remark [More]
She my non-rep, “thanks” to changing lines on the map, along with pampered and privileged virtue-signaling Hudson white women.
And the Republicans can’t seem to offer anyone but an uninspiring squish.

Governor signs 2 BFA-backed bills to prohibit firearms liability insurance, sales tracking, registries [More]
He’s on again. But we can never let up on the pressure.

Major 2A win in Ohio involving an individual indicted for possessing a firearm while under indictment for crime of which he was never convicted. [Watch]
If I’m reading this right, (Republican) prosecutor Melissa Powers evidently believes Ohioans elected a Republican majority so that she could deny the Second Amendment to a man whose robbery indictment was dismissed.
That’ll be useful to know if she ever seeks higher office.

Ohio Lt. Gov. Jon Husted has emerged as a late and leading contender to succeed Vice President-elect JD Vance in the Senate, three Republicans familiar with the process say. [More]
I have a bad feeling about this:
Husted did not clarify the difference between what he supports and a red flag law. “The bottom line is Governor DeWine and I support second amendment rights,” said Husted. “We support freedom loving Americans who want to exercise those rights, but we also want to keep guns out of the hands of criminals and those who are not legally allowed to own them.”
We know that doesn’t work.
Aligning himself with DeWine is a big red flag in itself.

House Committee passes two BFA-backed bills to prohibit firearms liability insurance, sales tracking, and registries [More]
“Friends across the aisle” is a lie. Anyone who would propose mandating such clear infringements is my enemy and deserving of my resistance and contempt.
Proposal to end qualified immunity in Ohio moves forward [More]
Here’s the proposed amendment.
Having seen the abuses, I’m inclined to support this BUT, and there’s that word, not knowing who’s behind thisit, I’d like a read from someone I trust on consequences hidden in the clauses.

Attorney Mehek Cooke, a Republican attorney who served as a political and legal surrogate for Trump in 2024, is under consideration to be chosen to fill Vance’s seat… [More]
Knowing DeWine, who he picks is a real concern.
She seems to have the right attitude on guns.
And on illegal immigration…
The idiot prohibitionists piling on, that is, the losers p!$$ed off about election results, offer the same tired, refutable arguments:
“Well regulated” refers to the militia. It has no bearing on weapons kept at home, and the Constitution delegates no authority for any branch of government to overcome “shall not be infringed.”
The “It’s the gun ” argument ignores the tens of millions of us who morally coexist with guns every day. Their only “solution” is to do what they say we’re paranoid for fearing: Ban guns.
And don’t argue “suicide” and then argue the police should be the “Only Ones” armed.
For now, there are several good choices for gun owners that DeWine can make, a few problematic ones, and one that’s completely unacceptable, his previous pick Dolan. [More]
Review the candidates and let him know what you think.
I gotta tell ya, I was delighted to see seven comments by the time I noticed this was up and then saw only one was on topic…:-(
My once-solid Republican area is now solid Democrat “thanks” to “redrawing” of district borders, resulting in my gun-grabber rep’s reelection:
With all 8,878 precincts reporting, Sykes won with 51.05% of the votes.
*Emilia Sykes (D) 193,575
*Kevin Coughlin (R) 185,622
You can’t do worse than losing. I maintain a high profile in a district that attracts thousands to gun shows could have helped, and the low profile presented did nothing to mobilize them.
My only consolation: She won’t be in a position to do much damage for a few years.
Canton park board formally changes laws, allows firearms in public parks [More]
Kudos to an alert citizen who educated them on state preemption. It’s inexcusable he had to.
Now the question is, can we keep Canton “Only Ones” who go berserk on lawfully armed citizens out of parks?

On October 9, 2024, the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division wrote to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose alleging that Ohio’s efforts to remove noncitizens from its voter rolls may violate federal law. [More]
What are a citizen’s options when the biggest criminals are in charge of law enforcement? Especially when those not accepting the results of elections conducted this way will be branded insurrectionists?
[Via Jess]
The Democrat strategy to do this is to bring in and subsidize more uncheckable Third Worlders from violence plagued tyrannies, set them on the superhighway to citizenship, and, among other “fundamental transformations,” eviscerate the Second Amendment. [More]
A plan comes together. And to think that some still say this has nothing to do with the Second Amendment…
GOP challenger in key House race blasts Dem opponent’s explanation on ethics complaint [More]
Here’s all the “ethics” we need to see from the oath-breaking son of a b!+ch and the useful idiots who support him.
And here’s a reason gun owners should vote for Sonza and not just against Landsman.
This short video reveals the dark-money activists from outside Ohio, some from other countries, who want to seize power and rig Ohio elections to elect partisan leftists even in conservative parts of the state. [More]
If you’re an Ohio gun owner who cares about the Second Amendment, or if you know one, spread the word.
