Notes from the Resistance
Tennessee governor schedules special session to address guns [More]
Made inevitable by “lesser of two evils” political desperation…
Take the short-term loss to avoid long-term certainty, because as we’ve seen yet once more over in Texas, counting on most “staunch defenders of the Second Amendment” not to be lying whores is a sucker’s game where the house generally wins.
If betrayers aren’t made public examples of, others will see they too can get away with it.

The House member’s cowardice does not help the efforts of the Senators who have taken a stand. Instead, they are posturing. [More]
It’s the difference between elephants and RINOs.
Missouri’s governor would play a major role in St. Louis policing and prosecution under a bill praised by Republicans as a way to fight crime and criticized by Democrats as an attempt to take away local control from the Black-led city. [More]
So the people trying to save black lives are the racists…?
[Via bondmen]
That leads to the logical question of why the politicians would be safe when outnumbered by gun owners on one side of an artificial property line, and wouldn’t be if those same gun owners took one step over it, where they would find themselves in violation of the law? [More]
So the right of the government to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed?
H.R. 2991: To eliminate the prohibition on training teachers with effective defensive tools, and for other purposes. [More]
And all we have to do is get Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats on board and then get Joe Biden to sign it!
And when Republicans have a majority in both chambers and the Oval Office…?

Cities with the Biggest Homicide Rate Problems [More]
Hmmm…
And as for “red cities,” note that’s based on the mayor’s political affiliation, and much of what he can do is predicated on the composition of the council.
Besides, Paul Helmke was a “Republican” mayor.
Now let’s look at homicides where city government honors the Constitution and encourages the Second Amendment. Anybody got a list?
In the case of Hanson v. District of Columbia, in the District Court of the District of Columbia, on April 20, 2023, federal Judge Rudolf Contreras issued an opinion holding standard capacity magazines which hold more than ten rounds of ammunition are not protected under the rights which the Second Amendment was written to protect. [More]
This is the same robed Obama apparatchik who ruled against me and for Hunter Biden, so I guess I’m the one who’s “biased.”
“Confirmed by voice vote,” so all we really know is those “A”-rated Senate Republicans didn’t much care how their supporters would be treated…
House Judiciary Committee to Vote on Overturning ATF’s Pistol Brace Rule [More]
That was yesterday. I’m not seeing anything on the committee’s news release page or Twitter feed yet.
In any case:
“The bill with the resolution will face a tough battle to get through the rest of Congress before heading to the President’s desk. Even if it does get to Biden’s desk, there is almost no chance that the President will sign it into law since he has been openly hostile to gun rights. The Republicans do not have the votes to override a veto, even if some Democrats switch sides.”
The true test will be what Republicans do if and when they have the power to see things through.
Sturtevant said he regretted his vote in 2019 for a Red Flag bill that ultimately was left to die in the Senate Finance Committee. “I whiffed that,” he said. [More]
You whiffed more than that, you principles-devoid coward…

[W]e are not doing ourselves or those depending on us to stand for freedom any favors if we deliberately ignore Trump’s willful failures on guns. Because this is going to end one of two ways – strengthening his renewed bid for a return to the White House, or ending any chances of it. If he wins, we need to be able to collectively influence his 2A decisions and judicial appointments and get him to understand what the bad ones are before he makes them. If he loses, we need to be ready to do the same with whomever the Republicans nominate to carry the standard. [More]
Gun owners need to look and assess with no illusions if they hope to have any influence on how power, once granted, is ultimately wielded.
Where Is the House GOP? Where Are the Jan 6 Videos? Where Is the Real Jan 6 Investigation? Where Is the Investigation into the Corrupt DC Attorneys? [More]
Sorry, Kevin had a fundraiser to go to.

Sen. Feinstein is requesting a temporary replacement on the Judiciary Cmte Biden’s judicial nominees are held up as she recovers in CA It requires 60 votes (9 GOP votes) This is our chance to stop the weaponization of the judiciary Do NOT vote in favor of her replacement [More]
Strap ’em on, Republicans. Anyone who doesn’t believe this is war is too stupid and cowardly to be free.
An ethics panel released a report Tuesday saying she “committed disorderly behavior” and damaged “the institutional integrity of the House.” [More]
In case anyone was wondering who’s working hardest to help Arizona go irretrievably blue…
Hey, we couldn’t have a Uniparty if not for Vichycons…
[Via TM]
“It also suggests that we have seen a paradigm shift in this country, that now Republicans see the anti-gun violence movement as being more powerful than the gun lobby,” Murphy said. [More]
And Vichycons like Bill Lee and the “bipartisan” Quislings aim to prove him right.
Republicans as a party just don’t seem to understand that ultimately, they need Americans who will not disarm more than we need them.
[Via Jess]
Michael Steele playing his ‘I’m a conservative’ card while trashing Justice Thomas does NOT go well [More]
Steele’s rise to Party prominence was the result of Swamp Republicans posturing to prove they’re not racists by publicly kissing a black Vichycon’s @$$.

GOP pushes to arm staff, eliminate ‘ineffective’ gun-free school zones after Nashville shooting [More]
Where were they back when?
And now with zero chance of passing through the Schumer Senate to the Biden White House…
Consider it another Sealab Bizarro moment.
A North Carolina Democrat reportedly jumped her party’s ship Tuesday, cementing the Republican supermajority in the state House of Representatives. [More]
Yeah, uh, I wouldn’t uncork the champagne just yet…

Three Democratic lawmakers who took part in protests on the House floor of the Tennessee statehouse will face expulsion later this week. Earlier Monday, the three lawmakers were removed from their committee assignments and had their badges to the capitol deactivated. [More]
Republicans should have had the guts to do that here.
