Federal Judge Blocks Key Border Enforcement Law Provisions – The ruling blocks Texas DPS from enforcing a state law making illegal reentry a crime and allowing the state to issue “removal” orders against illegal aliens. [More]
Thank you for being the only dominant 2A voice with the integrity and guts to say this. The others — to a man and group — either attack or the messenger or make unsupportable excuses to avoid the issue. https://t.co/v6BUO1keK3
I still have my differences with Smith, particularly over his unwavering defense of Trump/DOJ bipolarities and his not acknowledging that “in common use” is a two-edged sword, but his voice here, because it is louder and more far-reaching than mine, is essential and should be encouraged.
Been saying exactly that for years– right down to repeatedly citing that New York Times paragraph, only to be ignored by the gun groups and flat out insulted or just put down by louder voices, none of whom have the integrity to take my challenge and all of whom deflect, run away, and even block when pressed on fights they started.
I extend that invitation to the leaders of all the national gun groups, NRA, SAF, GOA, FPC, NAGR, and others. Take the challenge. Otherwise, you’re playing into the hands of the Democrats, and worse, by avoiding and ignoring this, you and they know it.

By disparaging thoughts on what a “pathway to citizenship” means for future “gun votes,” widely followed “gun rights influencers” are discouraging even discussing the issue.
While the Salazar-Lawler bill is the worst of it, there are other efforts afoot from the same cabal of anti-MAGA “Republicans.” Rep. Lloyd Smucker (R-Pa.) has reintroduced H.R. 5494, the Essential Workers for Economic Advancement Act. The bill expands visas for up to 500,000 alien laborers in the construction, hospitality, and other sectors and proposes a new H-2C visa program for critical jobs that do not require a college degree but are essential to business operations and U.S. economic growth.
With a name like Smucker, he has to be good (from 2016):
Change my mind on how his supporting a massive influx of foreign nationals will be good for the future of 2A.
