Notes from the Resistance
“First of all, I’m very skeptical of that number, because we have a lot of immigration pathways in the United States of America,” he responded, touting that he believed in uniting America as a big coalition, including those who did not vote for him and Trump. [More]
Who watched The View? Why do Republicans feel a need to make concessions to people who hate them regardless?
Or was it a concession?
Hegseth Uses D-Day Anniversary Speech to Attack European Immigration Policies [More]
Any self-styled “gun rights leader” who is deliberately indifferent to the implications of current immigration policies to RKBA, or overtly hostile to warnings about them, is either a willfully blind useful idiot, or an embedded asset.
I just ran across this old GOA newsletter:
The threat hasn’t changed, so what has? And why are today’s “gun rights leaders” on the same side as what GOA once properly recognized as “the Left”?
Raman is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America and has argued for steering the city in a more progressive direction. [More]
Democrat Socialists of America…?
And yes, of course she’s for open borders/cultural terraforming.
Ranjit…? Care to argue some more…?
Virginia state Sen. Saddam Azlan Salim (D) is telling prosecutors who say they will not enforce his “assault weapons” ban to quit “tough guy posturing.” [More]
What was I just talking about…?
What idiots some of our “gun rights leaders” are.

Of course, our 2024 figures are not written in the stars. After all, immigrant voters could well reverse recent electoral trends and vote for more Republican candidates. However, this is unlikely without Republicans embracing more inclusive rhetoric and championing the kind of sensible immigration reforms that are supported by the majority of Americans. [More]
Any self-styled “gun rights leader” who is deliberately indifferent to the implications or overtly hostile to warnings is either a useful idiot or an embedded asset.
“Real loser $#!+,” right, Stephen?
Don’t tell me. Tell him:
I still have my differences with Smith, particularly over his unwavering defense of Trump/DOJ bipolarities and his not acknowledging that “in common use” is a two-edged sword, but his voice here, because it is louder and more far-reaching than mine, is essential and should be encouraged.
[Via Allan Wall]
Been saying exactly that for years– right down to repeatedly citing that New York Times paragraph, only to be ignored by the gun groups and flat out insulted or just put down by louder voices, none of whom have the integrity to take my challenge and all of whom deflect, run away, and even block when pressed on fights they started.
I extend that invitation to the leaders of all the national gun groups, NRA, SAF, GOA, FPC, NAGR, and others. Take the challenge. Otherwise, you’re playing into the hands of the Democrats, and worse, by avoiding and ignoring this, you and they know it.
I’ve been beating this drum– pretty much alone among nationally-published Second Amendment writers– since Examiner.com days, and have been unsuccessful at getting it to be heard outside of my niche within a niche. If it takes a more prominent and accepted voice to get the majors to take notice, so be it.

A Rebuttal to Cam Edwards’ Article ‘Should 2A Groups Make Opposition to Legal Immigration an Issue? A Response to David Codrea’ [More]
By disparaging thoughts on what a “pathway to citizenship” means for future “gun votes,” widely followed “gun rights influencers” are discouraging even discussing the issue.
Sudden GOP infighting explodes over bipartisan immigration reform bill [More]
Vichycons for Haitian Hammer Killers… ?
But wait! There’s more:
While the Salazar-Lawler bill is the worst of it, there are other efforts afoot from the same cabal of anti-MAGA “Republicans.” Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-Pa.) has reintroduced H.R. 5494, the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act. The bill expands visas for up to 500,000 alien laborers in the construction, hospitality, and other sectors and proposes a new H-2C visa program for critical jobs that do not require a college degree but are essential to business operations and U.S. economic growth.
With a name like Smucker, he has to be good (from 2016):
Change my mind on how his supporting a massive influx of foreign nationals will be good for the future of 2A.
NRA 2026 Director Election Results Show Reformers Gaining Ground [More]
Yeah? Which “reformers” are willing to speak out against the greatest threat to gun owner rights? Not even one?
Stupid, self-defeating and shameful…
Video shows latest Los Angeles street takeover as mob wreaks havoc, vandalizes occupied city bus [More]
Look at the mob particpant demographics in the video.
This is no longer the melting pot American culture being pig-headedly referenced as a legitimate rebuttal by those who insist later generations will come to embrace 2A — as if the Republic has time to bet on that rigged game anyway.
The imprinting has already been done here. You’re not going to grow Founding principles out of this culture, or out of their next batch.

I’m not the only one concerned with gun groups suicidally ignoring/ disparaging the greatest threat:
The Single Issue Focus Of The Gun Rights Lobby: Both Their Greatest Strength And A Fatal Flaw
There’s a special truth in here that can’t be emphasized enough, especially with the critics who say “Wait a generation and they’ll be Americanized”:
For the last two decades, the NRA and other groups have been lobbying as if the make-up of the American people has remained static since the 1950s. It hasn’t.
It’s not heritage American culture that will shape their worldviews. Vivek even goes so far as to declare, “The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up.”
Assuming you agree with me, what are you doing to spread the word and sound the alarm?
Assuming you don’t, if you can’t be responsive to this, you’re a myopic fraud.
Actress and singer Selena Gomez continues to be outspoken about mental health following her diagnosis with bipolar disorder. [More]
Selena’s a big proponent of Marx for Our Lives.
Here she is demonstrating some of that “commie$ens$e gun $afety”:
With beta male Ethan Hawke, naturally.
What is it with bat$#!+ crazy anti-gun Hollywood women?
Oh, and Ranjit, Kostas, Hannah…?
Since instead of addressing my documented contentions, you relied on anecdotes about having to wait a few generations to get results (talk about unwittingly admitting my concerns are valid), here’s one for you:
She has called herself “a proud third-generation American-Mexican”…
All the critics need to do to prove this wrong is to come up with numbers that credibly refute those given. [More]
You can’t rebut contentions by avoiding them. It’s past time this argument was more widely noticed in the “pro-gun community.”

Federal authorities say 11 Indian nationals were charged in a scheme to stage armed robberies at convenience stores and restaurants so participants could falsely claim to be crime victims when applying for immigration benefits. [More]
I can’t wait for Rajit’s response!

With the danger to recognition of the right to keep and bear arms clear if Democrats succeed in changing the electorate, claiming a “single issue” excuse is a cop-out. If the fear is that the media and Democrats will portray them as fascists and racists, that’s been happening for years, and no amount of conciliatory compromises is going to change that. [More]
There’s a question at the end for all the “gun rights groups.” Will anyone ask it besides me?
A Stitt Storm: Oklahoma Governor Under Fire for Saying Dems Don’t Want to Turn Illegal Aliens Into Voters [More]
He and his business backers have hundreds of millions of reasons.
Who you gonna believe? A pandering Vichycon or your lying eyes?
Cheap labor Republicans are every bit the enemy pathway to citizenship Democrats are — and even more insidious, because they use our votes against us.
As long as NRA covers for weasels like this, gun owners are going to get sold out. How long do they think industry protections are gonna last under Democrats?
