Notes from the Resistance...
What will ignoring grievances accomplish, and how will it keep more of them from occurring? Some of us believe we are in an existential fight for the future of the Republic, and one that can devolve into much more serious conflicts than calling each other names. And speaking for myself, if you “compromise” for or enable any form of citizen disarmament, sorry, we’re not “on the same side.” [More]It depends upon what the meaning of the word "waver" is.
The offer the President announced today is a loser for the forgotten American workers who were central to his campaign promises. An amnesty-for-wall trade would once again reward previous immigration lawbreakers without preventing future immigration lawbreakers. This kind of amnesty deal will incentivize more caravans, more illegal border crossers and more visa overstayers at the expense of the most vulnerable American workers who have to compete with the illegal labor force. [More]Do you guys really think that's the greatest danger?
Illegal alien arrested for '4 homicides' in U.S. [More]Well he used a gun so we know who's to blame.
Homeowner fatally shoots 3 men, injures 2 during home invasion...[More]I wonder what would have happened had Shannon's house been targeted?
It would say: “The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The sovereign state of Iowa affirms and recognizes this right to be a fundamental individual right. Any and all restrictions of this right shall be subject to strict scrutiny.” [More]Oh we can't have that! It wouldn't be "commonsense"!
Middle school children in Iowa to be given classes on how to handle guns after teenager died in accidental shooting [More]It's a good first step, but nothing makes a safety impression like being taught how to fire a gun, and hearing and feeling the power.
The Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear a challenge to a New York City gun ordinance that does not allow people licensed to have guns in their homes to transport the weapons outside the city. [More]You wonder who could be against that and what justification they could possibly have, and then you read:
Lawyers for the city responded that the law was justified by public safety considerations.I'm having another John Wayne moment, except instead of "hit" the word "hang" comes to mind...
My FFL guy just told me that he got an email today from ATF, stating that in the absence of an LTC, they are only doing NICS checks 8a-5p M-F, and not at all on the weekends. I asked him if this was because of the shutdown. He said that he didn't know, and the letter didn't say.We knew data reportingwould be delayed and it's been reported "those processing applications for new FFLs or suppressor transfers haven’t clocked in since last month." But this information seemingly contradicts the FY 2019 DOJ Contingency Plan, which states:
Excepted personnel also include nearly all federal employees supporting the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS).I've asked my source for a copy of the email letter and have put out a few feelers. Anybody got anything definitive to add?

Get in someone’s face and then play victim for the cameras [More]So be prepared, anticipate and have your camera on.
Federal circuit courts of appeal continue to have an uneven record in enforcing Second Amendment rights. [More]We will never get an unequivocal "shall not be infringed" unless and until there is a credible "or else" attached to the demand.
...the industry was facing a so-called “Trump slump,” a plummet in sales that happens amid gun rights-friendly administrations. [More]You gotta wonder at the obliviousness and denial resulting in such an unsupportable conclusion.
Szabo and other security experts argue that instead of expanding access to guns, current guns laws should be more rigorously enforced. [More]Crazy like a fox...
Big Data meets Big Gov't: New IRS spy software [More]And what can be applied to finances can be applied to everything.
How Gun Control Became An Instrument Of Tyranny In Venezuela [More]Was there an assumption that this is somehow unique with commies?
I personally concluded that the Second Amendment creates a personal right, under the Constitution. [More]No it does not. You'd think someone up for being the government's "top lawyer" -- as opposed to an ignorant dumbass -- would grok that simple fact.
What I had never considered was that she thought of her evil as a virtue. [More]So we're talking delusional disorder instead of possession...?
The firearm, a Springfield XD 9mm pistol, was legally registered under his name.Really?
Gigi Hadid and Hailey Baldwin use fashion to fight gun violence [More]The voices of seasoned judgment have spoken. If that doesn't persuade you, I don't know what will.
Actor James Woods: ‘I Have Never Traveled Unarmed Since That Day’ [More]Thing is, he just sold his house in Beverly Hills last September, meaning he either had one of those "permits" forever beyond the reach of we mere "law-abiding" mortals, or else he took the same risks forced on us.
Inside the Mueller team’s decision to dispute BuzzFeed’s explosive story on Trump and Cohen [More]In one move he neutralized the "witch hunt" accusation in the minds of most observers.
