Notes from the Resistance
None of this is done to disparage recognized and deservedly lauded good and unprecedented positions being taken by DOJ that would, admittedly, never have happened under any other administration to date. But that does not require Second Amendment advocates to turn a blind eye to when those positions turn cognitively dissonant. [More]
“Friendly fire” can be more devastating than what’s coming from the enemy.
And then I think you’ll see once you read that it’s pretty clear that what Bondi and the Department of Justice are going after Maduro for is not the mere possession of a machine gun. It’s the possession of a machine gun intending to and actually furthering a federal felony in the form of either narco-terrorism or cocaine importation into the United States. They’re using a gun essentially to rob a bank and that is not protected in respect under the Second Amendment and thus I would not lose any sleep about this. [Watch]
I’m chewing on this one. The criminal act is one thing. Possession is another and I see potential for losing all kinds of sleep, depending on what the associated “crime” is.
In any case, carrying this out in Manhattan under a Clinton judge with a grand jury drawn from an electorate that voted for Mamdani makes me wonder if this whole mess is going to blow up in Bondi’s and Trump’s faces, and what effect that will have on the midterms.

President Trump is standing up for our rights. But the Department of Justice and Pam Bondi are BLOCKING his pro-2A agenda and ignoring orders from the top. This is an outright betrayal. Congress MUST hold accountability hearings NOW. Gun owners deserve answers. The DOJ and ATF cannot be allowed to defy the president and attack your freedoms. Tell your members of Congress: Investigate the DOJ’s betrayal of President Trump, gun owners, and the Constitution. Only you can force Congress to act. SIGN THE PRE-WRITTEN LETTER NOW [More]
One question: What has GOA done to promote and demand a Task Force seat to keep these kinds of abuses from happening before they do?
There’s all kinds of ways to make it happen and they could head off any need to have to run to Congress — which is prepared to do what, exactly?
It’s always better to keep the mess from happening in the first place instead of having to clean it up after it’s done untold damage. If they haven’t even tried, and this is their “solution”, I’m not sure I want to help.
We bring this to your attention because the facts upon which we made our original video have changed, and you deserve to know that. It also means that some who have placed a lot of weight into this issue, believing it was the straw that broke the camel’s back, should also reevaluate what weight they attach to this. [Watch]
Yes, it was the court that ruled to provide the membership lists, but what the Bondi apologists are all giving a pass to is that it was DOJ that “Ruined a Big Win“:
So 5:59 what the United States Department of 6:00 Justice proposed is that it would apply 6:02 only to the named plaintiffs and to any 6:05 member of the organization who was 6:07 members of the organization way back in 6:09 2020 when the complaint was filed and 6:12 only if they are identified.
I guess there’s more to be gained circling the wagons and beating up on Dudley, who, in my opinion, did not read the room for what is either possible or likely, and practically guaranteed the apologists and competitor rice bowl groups would seize the opportunity to pile on NAGR, and significantly, ignore DOJ being the catalyst.
Note it didn’t “clarify” that it doesn’t want lists until after the brouhaha broke out, and this could have all been avoided if gun owners and the administration had a way to coordinate expectations with realities beforehand and avoid the chronic bipolarity that drags everyone along with it.

I’m not afraid to say so when I think he’s not being objective considering all factors, or just generally playing see-no-evil administration cheerleader. That said, I think he’s correct here.
