Notes from the Resistance
It’s an improvement, but before gun owners start cheering over “illegal possession” being a “win” for “law and order,” consider Illinois…
Check out some of the idiots in comments.

The March 5 compromise comes after the House and Senate could not come to agreement on several provisions of the bill… [More]
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends upon what the meaning of the word “infringed” is.

Tangentially Related UPDATE
I am still holding out hope that a permitless carry bill of some stripe will pass the North Carolina General Assembly this spring. It will need a spending or fiscal component attached to it. We almost had it passed through the House of Representatives at the crossover deadline until opposition from the NRA caused Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) to pull the bill. [More]
Tell us more. Name names.
The Second Amendment Foundation won an important court victory in a challenge of a state law prohibiting young adults in the 18-20-year age group from open carrying a firearm during a declared state of emergency. [More]
So what is this, Stockholm Syndrome…?
Much like Missouri state lawmakers used a so-called trigger law to ban abortion, St. Louis Mayor Tishaura Jones has now signed a trigger law that could ban open carry of firearms in the city. [More]
In other words, it won’t change a thing.
Ain’t it just like Tishuara?
And did everyone catch Obama’s old “Chicago to Cheyenne” tactic?

That blocks teens from open carrying because minors can’t get a concealed carry license. [More]
If they’re “at least 19 years of age or eighteen years of age and a member of the United States Armed Forces, or honorably discharged from the United States Armed Forces, and is not otherwise prohibited from carrying a firearm,” they can.
And who’s dumb enough to think it will stop the ones who can’t from being armed?

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before.
This kind of pandering to the base to score political points actually does harm, as it distracts attention from more achievable priorities we should be paying attention to/sharing.

Israelis should carry guns on Yom Kippur, police say – In a press statement, the Israel Police spokesperson urged Israelis to carry guns for personal safety amid the High Holy Days. [More]
They should carry them every day.
And stop infringing.

Marxist sow Michelle Lujan Grisham has gone too far for even Ted Lieu and David Hogg… [More]
Or I should say, has spoken too soon.
What do those idiots think citizen disarmament and a monopoly of violence enable?
“We’ve received valuable feedback regarding the addendum to prohibit open carry by parade entries. We The People 4th of July Celebration Committee, Inc. thank all those who shared their concerns. After careful review, we rescind this addendum. [More]
Don’t tell us it’s going to be “We the People” if you mean it’s going to be “You the Rulers.”
So how many shootings did they have, and if the answer is “None,” what inferences can be drawn between why not every place could claim the same?

DeSantis’ signature tips US into majority ‘constitutional carry’ nation with new Florida gun rights law [More]
True, it’s not everything it’s hyped up to be, but it’s an incremental improvement. Time now for a renewed push and holding both the Vichycons and the State Sheriffs Association’s feet to the fire.

DeSantis Says He’ll Call a Special Session to Consider Open Carry [More]
How would you translate “If I can get the votes”?

Florida gun owners may soon be able to carry concealed weapons without a license as the permitless carry bill moves one step closer to the governor’s desk after passing in the House on Friday. [More]
But, as we’ve been discussing of late, it won’t include open carry because “law and order” Republicans feel more beholden to the Florida Sheriff’s Association than they do gun owners.
Do what the antis do. Take the incremental win and then come back for more. Bruen‘s tradition and history are is on the side of open carry and they can’t document any credible increase in crime from lawful open carry so that prohibition will fall.
Unless gun owners are ready to take political revenge on the Vichycons — and that means having someone they’ll get behind and support to run against the squishes — there’s not much they can do but complain, which doesn’t accomplish much and is bad for the digestion…

Florida’s former NRA lobbyist, Marion Hammer, used to be a powerful force for gun rights. Sadly, that is no longer the case. [More]
The wackos, hillbillies, idiots, fruitcakes, and nuts have a point. Dissidents, malcontents, and enemies within all, according to her…
Here’s what she thinks of the general members that NRA’s existence depends on.
Kinda makes me want to wear something special at the upcoming annual meeting.
