Notes from the Resistance
The 11th Circuit joins “several sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of machine guns.” That’s consistent with the Trump administration’s position on the matter, his campaign promises that “Your Second Amendment will always be safe with me as your president,” notwithstanding. [More]
Face it, gun owners are voting for who infringes less and accepting excuses for not demanding more.
So, President Trump, when are you going to take a damn side?
And are Republicans getting ready to blow it Texas big?

“Because machine guns are not protected by the Second Amendment as weapons in common use for lawful purposes, we affirm,” wrote Chief U.S. Circuit Judge William Pryor, adding the 11th Circuit joins “several sister circuits in holding that the Second Amendment does not protect the possession of machine guns.” [More]
Don’t believe him? How ’bout the guy you probably voted for three times?
How many more times do I have to say this before someone with a voice in “gun leadership” busy handing out Gundies to each other listens?
Pryor, of course, is a “Republican” appointed by the “Vote Freedom First” President.

Samuel Ronan, a former Democratic state and national candidate, attempted to run as a Republican in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District against GOP incumbent Rep. Mike Carey. To do so, he signed a declaration of candidacy — under penalty of election falsification — swearing he was a member of the Republican Party. [More]
HB 4145 started as another one of the Democrats’ annual attacks on liberty, property, and the Constitution. In its final form, it became a bill that delayed the worst provisions of MZ 114 and bought gun owners more time to avoid arrest and fight this insanity in court. If the Oregon Supreme Court invalidates MZ 114, HB 4145 does nothing. Either way, that’s a positive outcome. [More]
Only made possible by gun owner activism.

Just what Minnesota needs to take the focus off Democrats.
“Poor choices were made” …? These guys never stop being politicians, do they?
Charge Engen with falsification/obstruction, or don’t charge the rest of us if we’re caught lying to police. I don’t care how he is on guns, except for how being discredited invites attacks on all his positions, and what I read here makes me think he’s a squish who’s OK with taking a scalpel with a light touch to RKBA.

From Texas Scorecard, via email:
How that translates into electability is anybody’s guess, but anyone who says Texas will go solidly and reliably “red” may have a point, if you go back to the original understanding of the term.
And that’s just the way Joe Rogan likes it.

And, of course, when the blow the midterms, the narrative will be it’s because of the MAGA agenda.
As Bill Clinton mentor Carroll Quigley reminds us:
“The argument that the two parties should represent opposed ideals and policies, one, perhaps, of the Right and the other of the Left, is a foolish idea acceptable only to doctrinaire and academic thinkers. Instead, the two parties should be almost identical, so that the American people can ‘throw the rascals out’ at any election without leading to any profound or extensive shifts in policy”
That’s the plan and they’re sticking to it.

Hey, I remember this story…
