Notes from the Resistance...
I'm workin' on it. I should be able to do a test post at the new place by the end of the week.
It's been nice having less hectic days at the keyboard, especially with Spring yard work demands, but I do miss posting on a whim. For instance, did everybody catch Hillary flashing a racist hand sign at the Met Gala?
No doubt, there are reasons why citizens should think twice about confronting those committing criminal acts, but prominent among those is that the same “law” that fails to “secure the Blessings of Liberty” will turn on them should they try. [More]
You’d think with all their talk about “equity,” more angrily outspoken members of the Congressional Black Caucus, representatives like Maxine Waters and Sheila Jackson Lee, would be demanding full firearms enfranchisement for their constituents. Ditto for Black Lives Matter. [More]
David Codrea explores Ukraine disarming citizens for weapons storage? WAT? [Listen]
Thursday's Hour 2 program, where we discussed the (thus far unreported by anyone else) Ukraine gun storage order...
Fleshing out the details of the “group,” its organization and specific efforts it intends to make is important because getting visitors to register and donate seems to be the purpose of the 2A Task Force home page. [More]
TODAY on #AAR Hour 1, 4-5p ET (1-2p PT)
Lee Williams, Hour 2, 5-6p ET, (2-3p PT) . Good hard-hitting talk radio! Make sure to tune in or watch live at https://armedamericanradio.org/watch-live/ Remember, we don't talk TO the other side, we talk ABOUT the other side!
The disarming of citizen soldier volunteers (especially when a war is still in full swing) is a good indicator that if and when the situation in Ukraine “normalizes,” the plan is to return to restrictive gun laws Firearms News was decrying before the Russian invasion when it urged President Zelnskyy to “Open up Ukrainian gun ownership.” [More]
By inviting Republicans like Upton on to the show, NBC News can pretend its coverage is unbiased. That feeds the created perception that those to the right of (acceptable) “moderates” are “extremists.” Come time for manipulating the electorate, the moderates are then presented as “uncompromising,” and “right-wing.” And the goalposts move again. [More]
For its part, Cleveland Hopkins has turned to its professional wordsmiths to come up with a statement that pledges a totally noncommittal “commitment,” admits no liability, and without coming right out and saying so, tells travelers they need to make the trip to and from the airport unarmed... [More]
To conclude because “our side” lies must mean the Russians are telling the truth is more than a logical fallacy, it is suicidal and insane. [More]
So Democrats are suddenly all for an armed citizenry while Republicans are siding with the people who call them Nazis...
Talk about people who live in glass houses... that whole section reads like an excuse to eliminate wrongthink on whatever topic they like, from elections to COVID, with Big Techtators doing the dirty work the First Amendment says their government partners can't get away with -- yet. And in keeping with the way totalitarians roll, that's heavily reliant on cultivating an anonymous snitch culture:

Clearly, it makes no sense to spend time doing work that enemy trolls can have arbitrarily undone at the push of a button. So until such time as I am set up in a safer harbor, putting in work makes no sense. That's why, until I do that, I'm going to continue to limit posts to pure self-promotion: announcements for my new articles, radio appearances, and the like.
And speaking of that new venue, I tried several different options that for one reason or another didn't strike me as a right fit, but finally identified a new host I'm going to try. The holdup now is getting GoDaddy (another self-appointed arbiter of "acceptable" speech) to release my WarOnGuns.com domain name, and it looks like that process can take anywhere from seven to 10 days.
That means I'm probably looking at up to two more weeks before the rollout, and I still haven't decided if I'm going to try to migrate this existing blog to the new home. I'm leaning towards "not" since there will be formatting compatibility and search engine issues, I don't want to lose existing comments, technically I'm a child with no interest or time to change, plus the new place may not work out.
So: Keep holding the tips. I'll be back when I can. My own announcements will continue (a new Firearms News piece is out I'll be linking to after they fix a glaring typo I made in the first paragraph that also eluded spell check and Grammarly 😖).
Will Republicans ask him? How about Ranking Member Chuck Grassley? [More]
Perhaps if he was better at picking them in the first place, he wouldn’t need to end up angrily attacking so many he had nothing but high praise for in the beginning. [More]
In other words, police should be “Les Seules” armed and authorized to use force to stop criminal attacks, even in the home. [More]
Go to the show website to find an Alaska station or to listen online. They'll be calling me at 10:24 Eastern.
And no, this post doesn't mean the blog is back for business as usual. It means I'll continue using it for announcements promoting my stuff until I can settle in a new home, something I should have some time to seriously look into over the weekend.
“As such, they have an interest in the outcome of this case because a positive ruling in the instant matter will assist them in their efforts to have their lawful property returned to them in the future and will help guide other courts in reaching the correct conclusion which is that bumpstocks are not machineguns,” the brief elaborates.
