Big Brother is Watching You

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit in California challenging that state’s law requiring firearms dealers to video record all transactions, calling it a violation of First, Second, Fourth, Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. [More]

What’s that saying about 1984 being an instruction manual…?

Democrats are literally totalitarians.

Inextricably Bound

Gun owners are America’s fastest-growing criminal class. One state after another is enacting “Show us the gun and we’ll find the crime” laws. Judges and politicians are justifying mass disarmament in the name of “freedom from fear” — as if no one will be safe until government controls every trigger. Federal agencies consider all 20+ million marijuana users who own firearms to be felons (unless their last name is Biden). Presidents Donald Trump and Joe Biden both retroactively outlawed widely-owned firearm accessories, creating new legions of potential jailbirds. At the same time many federal agencies are stockpiling automatic weapons, Biden calls for banning semiautomatic pistols and rifles owned by 50 million Americans. [More]

And as you can see from the other Intolerable Acts presented, it’s not just about RKBA.

That’s the problem with the “single issue” cop-out. Because those doing it know damn well it’s not about guns, it’s about freedom.

Flagshafted

The city of Flagstaff, Ariz., banned all commercial advertising at the local airport after a gun-range owner threatened to sue the city for prohibiting his ad specifically from appearing on government property. [More]

The rights prohibitionists have no intention of stopping at the Second Amendement.

You tell me why a city with these demographics feels compelled to virtue signal this.

And this…

If not cultual Marxism…

What could go wrong?

Publius was not available for comment.

Now that she’s let her inner fascist out, I don’t see her putting it back in …

Not Content to Eviscerate the Second Amendment, Gun-Grabbers Go After the First

What’s clear from both the Illinois and the California cases, is prohibitionist Democrats, thwarted by the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act, will leave no right unabridged in their totalitarian obsession with controlling everything. [More]

If freedom prohibitionists can take the guns, what’s to stop them from taking everything else?

We’re the Only Ones Sourcing Enough

This week, Sarah Fields, a journalist with The Publica Now, revealed on social media that FBI agents came to her home on October 17 unannounced. She claimed the agency demanded that she talk with them about her coverage of an alleged Hamas training camp on the US-Mexico border. In her posts, Fields claims that the FBI was trying to get her to reveal her sources. [More]

That way, if she does their work for them they can get back to the headline-making business of raiding J6 suspects…

What do you want to bet they’re trying to keep a lid on a guy on the inside while they wait for a bigger headline-making event to explode in our faces?

And tangentially related, WTF, soulless GOP demons…?

Welcome to ‘The Party,’ Pallys

Campus Reform went to the DC pro-Palestine rally. Activists tried to get us arrested. [More]

It’s not enough to be an “Authorized Journalist.”They require you to be their Authorized Promoter.

As an aside to all the useful idiot leftist “non-binaries”: Are you starting to realize your place in the Marxist food chain yet?

MIMO

Marxism in, Marxism out…

Adding Fuel to the Fire

New York AG Tells Platforms to Disclose What They Are Doing About “Calls for Violence and Other Materials That May Incite Violence” [More]

That seems like an excellent way to encourage responses to state actors initiating violence.

Can you imagine Letitia James with unchecked power?

New York 3D Printer Control Bill is Tyrannical, Unworkable and Un-American

When the bill predictably fails to reduce New York homicides (because it’s focused on all the wrong things, like not on the criminals), look for new hysterical and pointless demands, like banning out-of-state sales, banning “straw purchases” of printers, banning printer parts, and blaming “red” states with “lax printer laws.” And let’s not forget banning possession of 3D printers by prohibited persons, to be expanded to anyone under a restraining order, on a watchlist, or “red-flagged,” followed by “may issue” permits for anyone else who wants one. [More]

You can’t cite the Founders out of one side of your mouth and then undermine everything they stood for out of the other. Well, you could if you’re a New York Democrat bragging about your foreign values…
