Notes from the Resistance
Democrat Judge Exempts NRA Members From New Gun Rule [More]
Well, I’ve got mine. The hell with the rest o’ youse.
Sorry — just practicing in case I ever become one of the elites. I keep telling the wife all she’s gotta do is pick six lousy numbers and she can’t even do that right.
Even though it’s temporary, I’ve never been a quasi-“Only One” before.
MEMORANDUM IN OPPOSITION TO PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT [More]
What a bunch of bull$h!+ arguments.
They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but I’m not so sure…
I can’t find a Senate confirmation roll call vote — anybody know if Boynton’s still “acting”?

BREAKING PISTOL BRACE INJUNCTION NATIONWIDE! This is NOT a drill!! Britto v. ATF [Watch]
The assumption here is that “in its entirety” means nationwide.
[Via Wirecutter]
Justices grant four new cases, including Chevron companion case [More]
So I might get my bump stock back?

New Injunction Issued Against the ATF Pistol Brace Rule [More]
I still maintain that “in common use” is being misapplied.
“Unless and until judicially or legislatively clarified, I conclude that the definition of ‘short-barreled rifle,’ which the Legislature enacted in 1969, does not include a handgun, such as a pistol, to which a person attaches a stabilizing brace, because the use of such an optional accessory does not change the fundamental characteristics of the handgun.” [More]
Not that politicians majority rule voting on what to call something would legitimately alter the truth…
[Via Jess]
In yesterday’s observation on Trump opening the door to further legal woes, this time on guns, the story I linked to did not mention another bit of information some gun “influencers” are excitedly announcing, that he says if elected he’ll “take care of” the pistol brace ban.
Sorry to curb anyone’s enthusiasm, but I’m not getting a full-throated and focused pledge out of this:
[Via Jess]
North Dakota District Judge Daniel L. Hovland sided with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) over the regulation of firearms equipped with pistol-stabilizing devices. [More]
Clueless Cops Create A “High Risk” Environment [Watch]
It’s several months old but I don’t recall seeing it before.
If he’d refused to cooperate they’d have gotten away with executing him.

Biden loses ‘ghost gun’ case, ATF ban ‘unlawful’ [More]
This is by no means a done deal, but it does raise hopes for bump stocks and stabilizing braces, and for checks and balances.
[Via Jess]
The Biden administration says its Defending new restriction on the possession of pistols with stabilizing braces parallels colonial times. [More]
Do they really want to go down that road?
This part bugged me:
He argued sawed-off shotguns are wildly inaccurate when fired, whereas braces make pistols more stable and accurate.
Does “our side” really want to go down THAT road?
I hope everyone in West Virginia sees this for what it is….. Joe Manchin is NOT a supporter of the 2nd Amendment. And, assuming he truly believes what he is saying here, he is not very smart on the right to bear arms issue. If you allow ATF to redefine congressional statutes as they please and change course at will, then what’s to prevent ATF from later declaring via regulation that “semi-automatic rifles like AR-15s” are really really “machine guns” that need to be registered under the NFA. [More]
And there are still idiots ostensibly on “our side” out there saying the bump stock ban is “just about a stupid piece of plastic.”
Typically, the same bloviating morons who say “The Second Amendment GIVES us the right” and “Enforce existing gun laws”…
They both have reflections from one of my favorite people in the whole wide world…
Today, the U.S. Senate failed to block the Biden Pistol Brace Rule under the Congressional Review Act. The final vote, which was split along party lines, was 50-49. During debate, Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer spread disinformation about pistol braced firearms, claiming that they convert pistols into machineguns. [More]
So where are all those “pro-gun Democrats” we’re assured are out there?
Their vote on this resolution should have diddly squat to do with their position on guns and everything to do with upholding our form of government. [More]
Kinda makes you wonder about what the real agenda is…
With this being SOP for the GOP, it’s no wonder lesser luminaries like Fitzpatrick and Kean feel like they can do anything they want, and “lesser of two evils” gun voters won’t have a choice but to keep rewarding them with power. [More]
If the turncoats will betray gun owners on something as clear-cut as this, what won’t they betray them on?
Two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Kean Jr. (N.J.) and Brian Fitzpatrick (Pa.) — broke from the party and voted against the legislation… [More]
I knew about this Fitzpatrick piece of crap— and his strange hold over Kevin McCarthy. Kean hasn’t been on my radar yet to know what a phony he is:
The National Rifle Association (NRA) Victory Fund gave Tom Kean, Jr. these ratings for the following election cycles: an A+ rating (100 percent) for 2017 and a B rating (67 percent) for 2020.
And speaking of phonies, since when is 67% not a “D” and a 1.0 GPA?
[Via Jess]
White House threatens to veto GOP resolution against its pistol brace ban [More]
Was there ever any doubt that it was anything but symbolic, with no chance of going anywhere?
Let’s see what the Republicans do if they keep the House and regain the Senate and the White House, that is, if they don’t blow it.
[Via Jess]
Only a fraction of the guns affected by the ATF’s new rule were registered with the agency during the four-month grace period that ended this week. [More]
I’m sure if Mike were still here he’d have a smuggling program going full tilt about now…
[Via Jess]
So – Pistol Braces are just a political message to the Swamp – leveraging YOUR liberty. My friend @Rep_Clyde refused to be extorted. These were not the only threats being made. And don’t forget – there were deals that were cut that were accepted, rather than refused. #NoDeal [Watch]
New Yellowstain certainly is turning out to be everything we thought he would be!
GOA, GOF, STATE OF TEXAS SECURE PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AGAINST BIDEN PISTOL BRACE BAN [More]
And:
FEDERAL JUDGE CLARIFIES SAF MEMBERS PROTECTED BY PISTOL BRACE INJUNCTION [More]
It looks like everybody’s members are covered, just like FPC’s.
Anybody up on what’s going on with NRA’s action?
UPDATE
Here’s the GOA Order:
The resolution was passed by the House Judiciary Committee, but has yet to be taken up by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy for a full floor vote. [More]
Maybe he had a fundraiser to attend…
I thought it time to update my Old Yellowstain fauxtoshop…

DEADLINE- ATF’s Pistol Brace “Compliance Period” Ending May 31, 2023 [More]
Reeves & Dola, LLP gives owners the hard facts on what’s being imposed.
As an aside, I had to copy and paste this into my WarOnGuns Placeholder site from their email. I wanted to link to their “Alerts” page, but I’m getting a “Site Not Found” notice. Hopefully, that will be cleared up soon.
