Notes from the Resistance
Gun nuts froth as Todd Blanche goes back on his word to keep 92-year ban in place [More]
Now there’s some fair and balanced journalism for ya.
Careful, David Edwards, you get any more worked up you’re gonna pop your Rapex.
We don’t hate the DSM enough.
Pollster Frank Luntz looked at the results in Tuesday night’s Wisconsin primary race for governor and called for a “complete shutdown of primary polling in the Midwestern United States until we can figure out what the hell is going on.” [More]
I’m not a professional manipulator like Frank here, but I’d venture that has something to do with it.

All the “study” proves is it’s a situation rich in target opportunities where predators can have their pick.

Tucson Mayor Regina Romero and former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords are pushing for “sensible” state gun regulations and more funding for violence prevention, days after a mass shooting left 10 injured, including the suspected gunman. [More]
Notice they don’t specify which gun “regulation” would work…?
And great “real reporting” there, Mia Kortright. Not only did you have no opposing view from people who know better, you didn’t even reference your own paper’s report admitting:
Paul Ingram/TucsonSentinel.com
The alleged gunman who wounded nine in Tucson last weekend was put on probation under a plea deal for a 2024 shooting incident because prosecutors “lost contact with the victim”…
So, the Giffords report is naked propaganda put together by an idiot who probably considers herself a “reporter.”
Authorized Journalists, Fourth Estate Fifth Columnists, the DSM, or just plain Lügenpresse… is it any wonder we love them so?
The Oliver ghouls have upped their necromancy.
They remind me of nothing so much as an old Yoko Ono joke. That and Joanna of Castile.
As I’ve noted before:
He and his wife had their child Joaquin brutally taken from them. Those of us with children who have not suffered such a soul-eviscerating loss can only imagine the terror and agony they have had to endure and will be forced to live with every day for the rest of their lives. With that in mind, all people of good conscience will naturally feel sympathy and would offer comfort if we could. And with that acknowledged, our sympathy does not give sufferers leave to lay claim to our rights, especially when doing so serves the interests of violence monopolists and power interests obsessed with disarming their countrymen.
As it is, they’ve chosen to become pathetic clowns.
You know what? Let ’em.
It keeps a portion of grabber money from being spent somewhere more effective. That’s why I’m tempted to call Manuel Oliver (a Venezuelan immigrant who opted to leave a corrupt Marx-inspired tyranny and mandate the same “gun control” edicts on his adoptive home as are imposed in the land he fled) “Our man in the gun ban camp.” Let him keep blowing it all on vanity theater that persuades no one and does not allow for comments/discussion.
Just start going after them for court costs after they lose.

America’s Murder Problem Is Smaller Than It Looks [More]
Meaning there is no justification for blanket citizen disarmament.
Not that you’d know that if your source for information is the DSM…

The Trump administration wants to let you easily buy and ship firearms straight to your front porch. [More]
You mean like back in the days before gun free zones and mass shootings?
Report: Rep. Chuck Edwards Gave Female Staffers Pink and Blue Handguns [More]
In the absence of evidence that this was part of a sexual harassment effort and/or was paid for by taxpayers, how is this not just a targeted political tactic?
It would help if we knew who his accusers were, but Axios won’t tell us and we’re just supposed to accept its spin.

Brandon Herrera, the gun-rights YouTuber known online as “The AK Guy” and now the Republican nominee for Congress in Texas’ 23rd, launched into a vicious tirade against Shannon Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action, dismissing the political views of the organization and mothers in general with a string of graphic sexual insults. [More]
That is wrong. I don’t see any worth sexually objectifying.
Funny though, how Democrats ignore concerns for minorities and the environment when they have other priorities…
Is China Also Meddling in Second Amendment Fight? [More]
Hey, they’re just doing their bit to prevent human rights violations…

A Congressman’s Gun Store Is Linked to a Federal Trafficking Case. He’s Trying to Defund the ATF. [More]
Wait– so someone apparently straw purchased “more than 40 firearms from gun stores in the Athens area between September 2020 and July 2021 … at least 20 of those firearms have since been recovered by law enforcement, several in connection with violent crimes,” and “Among the firearms recovered was ONE [emphasis added] purchased at Clyde Armory, the Georgia gun store owned by Representative Andrew Clyde” and someone is trying to make the case that “rais[es] broader questions about conflicts of interest, regulatory oversight, and the intersection of private business and public office”…?
Really?
That raises broader questions with me about the motivations and political leanings of the author and his publisher:
If guns could speak they would say nothing of solidarity or community; they would articulate only fear of the stranger and rage at life’s tenuous hold. [More]
But they can’t, can they?
I’ve talked before about Academia .edu because I get a laugh over how often a guy who was usually on the wrong end of the Dean’s List is cited there. This 10-year-old article was featured in a recent email they sent me, and it’s illustrative of the ivory tower mindset that controls monolithic narrative promulgators that represent themselves as “institutions of higher learning.”
WAPO Quotes ‘Experts’ Who Say Trump’s Pro-2A Agenda May Lead to ‘Mass Casualty Events’ [More]
That’s what they’re praying for, anyway.
I remember that scene:

Today, Congresswoman Valerie Foushee (NC-04) introduced the Gun Violence Prevention and Public Safety Database Act of 2026, legislation to direct the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to establish a publicly accessible federal database of gun violence and public safety research. [More]
To the tune of five million smackers…
We know what happened last time CDC had carte blanche…
There is no Marxist-enabling traitor or useful idiot Giffords, Everytown, and Brady won’t back, is there?
1% chance of being enacted
That’s assuming Republicans don’t blow it, and you know them.

Richmond Moms Demand Action and Virginians for Change held their “Wear Orange” event, where local leaders and survivors shared what people can do to be part of the solution. [More]
Really?
And those weren’t worth sharing with your readers, “real reporter” Taylor Bryan?
What’s in the Trump administration’s ‘tsunami’ of gun deregulation [More]
Oh, no! Infringing on infringements! Head for higher ground!
Because we all know how ATF rules affect predator decision-making.
“Real reporter” Avery Lotz carries the prohibitionists’ water for them.
She probably also believes repeating talking points can’t ultimately be done a lot cheaper by AI.
