Notes from the Resistance
Anti-Gun Billionaire Michael Bloomberg Funds Backing Sheri Biggs in South Carolina’s 3rd District … Biggs has portrayed herself as a political outsider who is “pro-Second Amendment and pro-Trump.” However, one of the PACs backing her appears to come from anti-Second Amendment sources. [More]
The runoff is in a week. It’s up to these guys to set the record straight before then:

“I just said a prayer last night that I hope my greatest fears don’t come true, and that’s that South Carolina becomes the Wild, Wild West,” Richland County Sheriff Leon Lott told The Post and Courier. [More]
I wonder why the Democrat feels that way.

It’s an improvement, but before gun owners start cheering over “illegal possession” being a “win” for “law and order,” consider Illinois…
Check out some of the idiots in comments.

The March 5 compromise comes after the House and Senate could not come to agreement on several provisions of the bill… [More]
To paraphrase Bill Clinton, it depends upon what the meaning of the word “infringed” is.

Tangentially Related UPDATE
I am still holding out hope that a permitless carry bill of some stripe will pass the North Carolina General Assembly this spring. It will need a spending or fiscal component attached to it. We almost had it passed through the House of Representatives at the crossover deadline until opposition from the NRA caused Speaker Tim Moore (R-Cleveland) to pull the bill. [More]
Tell us more. Name names.
Both the House and the Senate have passed a bill that would enact what is known as “permitless carry” or “constitutional carry” across South Carolina. But their versions of the legislation are different, so they need to settle on a compromise before they can send this bill to the governor. [More]
So someone else mandating a compromise on your entitlement isn’t an infringement?
The South Carolina State Senate is in the second week of debate regarding a bill that would allow handguns to be carried openly in the state. House bill 3594, known as “Constitutional Carry,” is supported by most Republicans in the General Assembly… [More]
What’s to debate?
And why “most” instead of “all”?
Who are the @$$holes?

Eleven people were hurt, including nine by gunfire, at a late night party at a South Carolina park, authorities said Saturday. [More]
It’s curious that in this day of everyone having cell phone cameras, I can’t seem to find news accounts with pictures…
I wonder if this report naming Miquise and Ty’Quan as persons of interest may hold a clue as to why.

“It tells me all I need to know. And that is, just because it’s legal does not make it the right thing. I tell people all the time, the institution of slavery was legal, but it was not right. Just because they purchased these weapons legally does not mean that’s what the law ought to be.” [More]
This moron is literally saying freedom is slavery.

A former and retired South Carolina Highway Patrol trooper was arrested for stealing and selling property from a crash, according to the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division. [More]
I can’t find many details on this other than the moron risked it all for basically nothing, which is a pretty good indicator of the judgment he displayed while still on the force.

We need the South Carolina Republican Party to censure Graham for his sell out. [More]
This is for more than just “registered Republicans” and Palmetto State gun owners because what this guy does affects us all. The email option isn’t the only way to reach them. Pick one that works for you. And include others.
I’m starting with the head of the party. And GOP National. And NRA…
State Representative Wendell Gilliard (D-111) announced that he will pre-file legislation to ban many commonly-owned rifles, shotguns, and handguns that law-abiding citizens use for self-defense and sport, and require current owners to surrender them. [More]
Well, he won’t personally…
At least he states up front what he’ll “allow” us to keep.
