Notes from the Resistance...
As you can see by the number of posts today, I really got loaded up over the weekend. I don't have time for anything else today, because I've got an article to write and meatspace tasks to do.
If you still want more, I suggest heading on over to The Gun Feed, which, come to think of it, ought to be a daily stop without me saying anything.

Women want one thing—keep your mind out of the gutter. It’s guns. They want lots of guns. This isn’t anything new. For the Left, this might be a massive revelation, but the truth is this trend has been ongoing for years. Women lining up for concealed carry permits is booming. Women-only firearm courses are booming. Gun sales among women are booming. And if there’s one thing we should know about politics and elections, it’s that it’s probably not the best idea to be against something that a lot of women support, especially white middle-class women.

Just keep in mind that's the same demographic for the majority of Demanding Moms, and women, in general, voted for Biden by a 57% to 42% landslide.

It's not like they're against guns per se. They were happy to be ATF's banker and offer a sweetheart deal to a Gunwalker plotter.
Funny, no one ever followed up on the ethics of that.

The first victim was beaten to death while they were sleeping in their bed, Judd said. The second victim was beaten significantly and died Saturday evening. Earlier in the day, Judd said the victim was not expected to survive due to the “horrible nature of his injuries.” A third victim was found dead on the front porch of the home, according to the sheriff. The fourth victim was chased into the street and was hit by Runyon with the baseball bat in the shoulder and back area... [More]

After 25 Years In The Dark, The CDC Wants To Study The True Toll Of Guns In America [More]
No, they don't. Where's the acknowledgment of DGUs and lives saved?
Besides, the darkness was self-imposed. The mandate was that "none of the public funds appropriated to the CDC may be used to advocate or promote gun control."
With the restraints off, they've gone old school and are doing what they can to see guns "dirty, deadly and banned."

When embedded in military guns, RFID tags can trim hours off time-intensive tasks, such as weapon counts and distribution. Outside the armory, however, the same silent, invisible signals that help automate inventory checks could become an unwanted tracking beacon. [More]
Unwanted by whom?
I'm sure plenty of domestic enemies would salivate at the prospect of enacting a "commonsense gun safety" mandate. And why stop there when remote shutoff switches could help the "Only Ones" make sure the "law-abiding" stay that way come confiscation time?
And why stop there?

Biden hasn’t ordered dishonorable discharges for vaccine refusers in military, as viral post claimed [More]
True. And only an idiot (or a plant trolling for suckers) would make such a claim. That doesn't invalidate the FACT that the danger exists for those fighting back and losing. But it sure makes it look that way.
Case in point (via Michael G):
Veteran of Afghanistan war with heart conditions faces possible dishonorable discharge for refusing COVID vaccine
Here's another tactical Politifact deception:
The Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine contains an “undisclosed ingredient. … How is informed consent possible?”
That calculated dismissal presumes that's the only informed consent issue presented and ignores the FACT that Andy Nguyen has zero medical qualifications and has no idea what other dangers, especially long-term ones, will manifest.
But don't take my word for how agenda-driven Politifact always has been.

Understand that they will set you up, distort what you say, and present things out of context to make you look like a hateful fool. Do you think you're being honest and forthright? They're looking for ways to publicly discredit and humiliate you.
I can't tell you how many "gun advocates" I've seen walk into the trap thinking they're going to get publicity and make converts. Best advice: Get someone with experience who presents well and knows how to handle things.
And don't be afraid to tell representatives of enemy propagandists "No."

“An expansive Second Amendment ruling by the Supreme Court could restrict or prohibit the sensible solutions that have been shown can end gun violence,” said Jonathan Lowy, vice president and chief counsel at the gun violence prevention group Brady. Lowy included state laws requiring a justification to carry a gun as examples of such “sensible solutions.” [More]
