Notes from the Resistance
“Well, the reservists are ready and willing, if Russkies are coming. They will be a big help for the regular army,” Saro declared. “If there will be new shooting ranges opened, the main reason is just to be ready and practice. It is pretty similar to our Civil Guard that was active before the wars. Then, besides reservist and military, there are hunters.” [More]
Yes, there’s plenty wrong with their “gun control” laws. That doesn’t mean we can’t learn from what they do right.
Plenty of other reports will talk about all this, so let’s look at an aspect of this story not getting any press—and that’s deliberate. Let’s look at what the gun prohibitionists, who are always quick to gin up the mob and demand more infringements before the facts are known, aren’t saying about the Russia concert massacre and why.

If it doesn’t advance their agenda it’s not worth mentioning. It’s not like they actually care about human lives.

Either that or this full-scale smear campaign is being waged because his X platform is doing a substantive end run around the authorized narrative and that’s got to be shut down.
Here’s one example from the above-linked NBC News piece, utilizing a familiar tactic and guilt by association:
The site is run by the far-right blogger Darren Beattie, a former Trump White House speechwriter who was fired in 2018 for having spoken on a panel alongside white nationalists. After the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, Beattie promoted the baseless claim that the FBI had planted agents in the crowd who incited it to storm the building.
“Baseless” …?
“In light of the compelling and urgent testimony provided, I respectfully urge you to immediately clarify that the United States does not tolerate, facilitate, or participate, in negotiations over genocide, and to publicly inform Azerbaijan that unless it immediately lifts its blockade of Nagorno-Karabakh, the U.S. will take action through the United Nations to refer the matter to the International Criminal Court for investigation and prosecution,” Smith wrote to President Biden in a Thursday letter.

Involve us with the UN in foreign enforcement interventions involving a nation having “closest friendship and trust links” with Russia, meaning add more pressure to tensions ready to explode over Ukraine, and at the same time undermine that which the Founders knew to be “necessary to the security of a free State” enough to get endorsed by the Brady PAC…
