Notes from the Resistance
Ohio’s Senate has taken clear, decisive action on suppressor reform, but the House has not finished the job. Senate Bill 214 passed the Senate by a decisive 31–1 vote, yet months later, the bill remains stalled in the House Public Safety Committee. [More]
Way to douse fire in gun voter bellies before the midterms!
“Under current Ohio law, Ohioans wishing to own or use a short-barreled rifle, short-barreled shotgun or firearm suppressor must register those items with the federal government or face the risk of criminal prosecution. If that reflects the policy of this legislature, so be it….” [More]
The Ohio GOP is aware there are midterms coming up, right?
“So be it”…???
This Wilson character continues to impress me as being a lump.

The California Medical Association (CMA), in a callous move, has chosen to expedite harm to a group of people its leaders have held in contempt for decades—gun owners. Specifically, the CMA has refused to approve a resolution endorsing firearm suppressors (sometimes inaccurately called silencers) for hearing protection. These doctors, although they will furiously deny it to themselves and us, wish permanent and untreatable hearing loss on gun owners. [More]
There’s a reason why I call ’em gunquacks.
[More]
They can. Will they?
And double entendres don’t work if you have to point them out.

While this is a massive federal victory, do not let your guard down. This ruling does not repeal Oregon’s state-level anti-gun statutes. [More]
Commies won’t back down unless they have to.
The NFA Ruling That Changes Everything—And Changes Nothing… Every advance we have made toward restoring the Second Amendment has been within a framework that the government built and can rebuild. [More]
That, and where’s the “guidance” on home-builds, private transfers, gun trusts, SOTs, interstate travel, sentence enhancements…?
Yeah, I know, I know, would I rather have Kamala…?
Tell Congress: Force ATF To Provide Guidance! All over the country, gun shops have been advising their customers that they’re awaiting guidance from ATF on how to go about transferring an unregistered short barreled firearm or suppressor. [More]
In my case, it’s a waste of time.
Do it if it’s not a waste of yours.

Per Guns & Gadgets:
New reporting indicates ATF headquarters has instructed local field offices not to independently interpret the NFA injunction, while DOJ and ATF have allowed the plaintiffs’ requested August 21 deadline for implementation answers to pass without a public response.

That raises an uncomfortable legal question GRNC’s counsel has flagged: if federal registration is impossible for a covered item, does not being registered still count as being “in compliance with” the federal scheme for purposes of North Carolina’s exception? No court or state authority has answered that question. Until one does, NC gun owners are in a zone of legal ambiguity. [More]
So… I take it Ted Davis and Bill Brisson will be no help?
ATF’s newly updated registry shows 6,654,209 suppressors, more than 1.2 million short-barreled rifles, and over 8.1 million registered items across four major NFA categories. In this video, we examine how the government’s own numbers strengthen the “common use” argument under Heller, Caetano, and Bruen—and further undermine the constitutional foundation of the National Firearms Act. [Watch]
Yeah, well, don’t get too comfortable with “common use” being the cutoff for protected arms.

Several states currently have laws that require some form of approval from the Federal government under the current National Firearms Act (NFA). These states will have to pass new legislation to make suppressor ownership legal under the laws should deregulation proceed. If things progress quickly, you may not be able to buy a suppressor in these states. [More]
How’s your state doing?
I see suicidal Ohio Republicans have their thumbs up their hindquarters.
The Texas suppressor ruling is a major win for gun owners, but legal limits, political spin, and unanswered questions mean the fight is far from over. [More]
Or as Mr. Wolfe cautioned… (NSFW!)

Now there’s some fair and balanced journalism for ya.
Careful, David Edwards, you get any more worked up you’re gonna pop your Rapex.
We don’t hate the DSM enough.
Just like that? You’re sure? No pre-conditions or memberships needed? FFLs are all sure of what they need to do? Got all those questions for DOJ answered?
I’d hate to think people who had nothing to do with it and don’t know what they’re talking about are spreading bad legal advice.
And when are you going to do something about oath-breaking Republican power players like Ben Albritton?
Ohio’s Unfinished Suppressor Reform Leaves a State-Law Trap for Gun Owners [More]
Fresh on the heels of killing the Freedom to Carry Act. And not correcting state and county fair citizen disarmament edicts.
And they wonder why it looks like Sherrod Brown is polling ahead of 2A squish Jon Husted and Vivek isn’t running over Amy Acton.
“Hudson Antifa” is not an anomaly. The state is in danger of going blue– I think it will. And clueless Vichycons are doing nothing to put fire in gun owner bellies.
Ohio Gun Owners names names. And while it’s easy for some to dismiss them based hostility against the Dorr brothers, resist ad hominem dismissal for a moment and see for yourself if A ratings and endorsements are deserved.
“The Department of Justice had the opportunity to act to protect our safety, but it failed to do so,” Kris Brown, the president of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence, said in a statement, noting the campaign from Republican lawmakers. “Our elected officials are supposed to serve the American people, not the gun industry’s bottom line. Today, the gun industry and silencer dealers are celebrating, while Americans are left less safe.” [More]
Couldn’t find anyone to refute that unmitigated horses#!+, could you, “real reporter” Chris Cameron?
They show their cards in the first sentence, about what you’d expect from “The newsraper of record.”
Randy Weaver called. He wants his wife and son back.

Will the administration pass it?
And we’re talking time-honored American tradition here…
Well, not by everyone…
