Notes from the Resistance
Trump warns Republicans they have to win midterms or he’ll ‘get impeached’ [More]
How much responsibility for that will fall on the shoulders of those dousing fire from gunvoter bellies with equivocation, fecklessness, and outright betrayal?
How much of that will fall on him?
Question for TINVOWOOTers: What’s the detailed alternative plan?
House GOP Rep Doug LaMalfa dead at 65 – House Republicans’ majority is now 218 to 213 [More]
He evidently was good on guns.
As I understand it, Newsom will now need to announce a special election. What I don’t know is what effect redistricting will have and what any likely GOP contender is prepared to do for RKBA.
Hawaii’s Officials Explain Why They Think They Can Overrule the Second Amendment [More]
Because they haven’t been arrested…?
Don’t look for Hawaii Republicans to be anything but useless.
The sole Republican candidate running for North Carolina’s 22nd state Senate district is turning heads after donning a Niqab-style face veil in her candidate photo and voting for Democrats in past elections despite her new GOP candidacy. [More]
I haven’t been able to find a campaign website or social media account to nail down her positions.
Ah well, Republicans always have been the Big (Camel’s Nose Under the) Tent Party…
And with NC GOP “leadership,” what difference does it make?
“The idea of a heritage American is about as loony as anything the woke left has actually put up,” he said. [More]
Doubling down, are we?
Not if it’s qualified as being about culturalism. Then it becomes existentially essential.
I’m starting to like this Casey guy more and more.

GOP Candidate Amy Fennell Wanted to Keep ‘Treasonous Felon’ Trump Out of White House – A series of recent social media posts from Fennell show the Republican candidate blasting Trump while supporting Kamala Harris. [More]
Nope, nothing about RKBA…
Not surprising if she wanted to help enable Kamala to do this…

President warns state Sen Rodric Bray risks losing two potential GOP House seats by blocking congressional map [More]
You’d think someone who brags about an A+ NRA rating wouldn’t have voted against a “constitutional carry” bill.
Then again, why would an unachievable database of prohibited persons poison pill have been inserted, if not to kill the bill? Is that even a correct interpretation? And since it’s not in the law that eventually passed, what happened?
I see lots of energy spent that encapsulates to: ….”republicans are going to lose the midterms”…. [More]
I’m sorry, but it’s not all due to Vichycons. Much of it is self-inflicted.
Finger-pointing and denial don’t help.

In a withering critique of Brown’s handling of the case, Smith decried his fellow jurist as an “unskilled magician” caught in an “illogical straitjacket,” who was handing a victory to Democratic billionaire George Soros and California Gov. Gavin Newsom. [More]
Why did Trump nominate him? Why did Abbott stump for the guy? Why did Republicans as a bloc vote to confirm him?
“It’s out of character,” some will say? “It took us by surprise”…?
I’m more of a “When a guy starts hitting his wife he’s been abusing her in other ways for some time” kinda analyzer.
BREAKING: JD Vance RIPS into Thomas Massie at Turning Point Event [Watch]
Here’s the thing I never hear his critics address:
When he takes a position contrary to what the president and party are pushing, what does the Constitution say?
Critics accuse Cornyn of capitulating to Democrats’ gun control demands — even though the bill largely did not restrict gun owner’s existing rights. [More]
Is “not largely” restricting rights like being a little bit pregnant?
The current is either on or off. How much current there is does not alter that.
Nor does equivocation. Because once you flip that switch, you allow for turning the dial.

The Second Amendment Preservation Act (SAPA) was shelved last December, and lawmakers have done nothing to advance it in nearly a year. Which means the critical time for action is NOW! … With complete republican control in Ohio, there is no excuse for the lack of pro-gun wins in 2025, so let your elected officials know you are displeased with their lack of support for the Second Amendment. [More]
Yeah we can expect better than redundancy and “Only Ones.”
“There never was, and never will be, a tenable pathway for Hunt,” they said in the memo. “It’s time for the vanity project that could cost Republicans control of the Senate and dilute our resources to end.” [More]
I dunno– Cornyn is a weasel gun owners will stay home over and Paxton comes with exploitable scandals.
Why don’t they drop out and the Republicans throw everything they’ve got behind a guy who actually gets it?
[Via Michael G]
So why isn’t Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears making the Second Amendment an issue in her campaign? [More]
So much for help us help you. Talk about handing NRA an excuse to drag its feet.
My sense is it’s coming from the Virginia GOP. I base that on Youngkin going mum on guns in his campaign, and the way Hung Cao had a chance to show courage again but ran.
Its my belief that party “professionals'” are feeding the campaigns the arrogant old Lee Atwater line, “Who else are they going to vote for?”
That, of course, is exactly the wrong advice when the race is close and you’re trying to light a fire in bellies and get low-propensity gun voters off their @$$es and to the polls. And it makes me wonder if Swamp creatures are trying to lose, and discredit those who identify more with MAGA than with “moderates” as political forces to be reckoned with.
UPDATE
South Dakota Democratic lawmaker switches registration to Republican – South Dakota Rep. Peri Pourier indicated that the key pillars of the GOP line up ‘with the principle of tribal sovereignty’ [More]
Whaddya know, she’s not a kneejerk gungrabber:
Pourier says school gun bill protects children… “As a mother, I worry about school shootings every day. So, I have to explain to everyone why did I vote for this bill. I’m gonna tell you if there was a school shooting in Wanblee, South Dakota, it would probably take more than an hour to respond.”
Seems pretty commonsense to me…
The National RINO Hunt Team [More]
Looks interesting. Added to bookmarks. Will check out in copious free time.
Congressman Massie Introduces Bill to Repeal Federal Gun-Free School Zones Act [More]
Sixth time since 2015’s a charm?
Unfortunately, out of all those “pro-gun” Republicans there are only 13 co-sponsors and the prognosis says there’s a “1% chance of being enacted.”
Funny, how our best-Second-Amendment-president-ever’s primary concern is getting rid of Massie...
Even funnier that the NRA tried to torpedo him.
Democrat Walkinshaw wins special congressional election where Trump loomed large – Democrat wins Virginia special election seat after voters ‘send a statement’ on Trump policies [More]
Ready to see that happen again and again?
Yeah, but it was a Democrat district.
Making excuses and doing nothing else will ensure more Democrat districts.
Fusaro has offered a detailed plan, and good one. It’s up to NRA and VCDL to share what plans they have developed to see how their detailed strategies compare… [More]
What happens here will be a bellwether for the midterms. We’re either serious about this — and willing to do all the necessary things — or we’re not and we won’t.
