We Caught FBI Using “Minority Report Style” Secret Form Pressuring Gun Owners To Forfeit Their Rights [More]
Here’s the thing: They refuse to identify where they get the authority to create an unlegislated class of prohibited person and if we pursue a lawsuit they will fight paying attorney fees if we win.

The FBI did not immediately return the Daily Beast’s request for comment on Patel’s reported requests. [More]
Why would he? He’s ferreting out the nmost dangerous kind of armed criminal– the kind that works in law enforcement and nowtands to lose everything when their treasonous subversion is exposed, and you apparatchiks are telling your useful idiots not piutting his life in their hands is “bonkers”and “paranoid.”

What wasn’t included was where DOJ gets the authority to create a permanent entry to NICS without a conviction or other disqualifier as defined by law. They’re still not saying. [More]

Padilla and Kash Patel clash on gun ownership in America [Watch]
Did you see a clash?
I saw equivocation over easily answered questions.
No, prior restraints are not consitututional. It says “shall not be infringed.” Yes, every terrible implement of the soldier is the birthright of an American.
But if he answered plainly, he’d never get confirmed?
If so, it’s because Republicans have consistently over the years avoided using their bully pulpits to articulate the reasons for the Second Amendment, so to most people they come across as something that intuitively goes against everything they’ve been “told.”
As long as that’s the case– as long as 2A advocacy is marginalized and relegated to a niche segment outside of the mainstream– treasonous Democrats like Padilla will be able to manipulate with words like “extreme”.
That’s why I’m not letting up on Trump’s unfulfilled campaign rhetoric and what he could do to start turning things around. That’s why I’ll keep calling it out each day that goes by where he ignores us.
