Notes from the Resistance
A former school police officer from Washington state has been found, following an extensive search by authorities after he murdered his ex-wife as well as his 17-year-old girlfriend. After leading police on a chase close to Eugene on the afternoon of April 23, state troopers found the body of Elias Huizar. He died from a gunshot wound to the head, which police say was self-inflicted. [More]
Curious, who the state trusts to be armed…

Now look at how the Democrats portray “Christine Drazan, who did more to damage the House Republican Caucus than anyone in recent memory”:
A new report released today exposes Christine Drazan for accepting a $10,000 campaign contribution from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) — an extreme and powerful pro-gun lobby group, where the CEO of “Daniel Defense — which made the gun used in the massacre at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, in May” sits on the board of directors.
How desperate and stupid would you have to be to believe that compromising with totalitarians will earn you any more gratitude and respect from them than they would give to a toilet?

As WarOnGuns Correspondent Edmund M observes:
Massachusetts requires that all firearm transfers (among individuals and from a FFL) be reported to the Division of Public Safety (State Police). A License to Carry Firearms is required to possess a pistol within your residence. An unregistered firearm possessed by an unlicensed individual is a double whammy of ungoodness in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. A former head of Harvard Business School Online managed to figure out how to acquire a firearm outside the system of bureaucratic hurdles, something that requires no formal education to accomplish.

The story is paywalled but we get enough from that to get the drift.
Questions I’d like to see answered include should anyone do this without counsel, whether doing this could be used against them later, what liability the gun store would face for returning firearms, who would have to authorize that, what’s the criteria for their decision either way, and if an equivalent of a Miranda warning ought to be required…
And none of that addresses the core truth.
