Thomas Wants to Address What ‘Arms’ are Protected by Second Amendment

The question before the courts should be simple: How did people at the time of the Constitution’s ratification define “arms”? [More]

“Weapons of war” are precisely what the Founders had in mind.

Hartford Citizen Patrol Presents Dilemmas for Gun-Grabbing Democrats

The Self-Defense Brigade, organized “at the behest of Archbishop Dexter Burke of the Walk in the Light Church of God,” is reminiscent of an effort from the middle of the last century, one remembered and honored by Amendment advocates with long memories, but for the most part ignored by Democrats and self-designated “civil rights leaders,” none of whom, if they even know about him, are keeping the example set by Robert Hicks alive, to be reflected on today and passed on to the next generations.

Go ahead, sic the cops on ’em, Democrats. I dare ya.

Who Are the Militia?

Despite facing backlash from civil rights activists and Democratic lawmakers, Republicans in conservative-leaning Nassau County, New York, are moving forward with a plan to form an armed, civilian militia that the local government could operate as a de facto police force during “emergencies.” [More]

To paraphrase Slick Willie, it depends upon what the meaning of the term “civil rights activist” is.

Think of the mentality of anyone who would be against this.

Stand…uh… Flying Army

Calling it a “power grab,” Gov. Greg Abbott (R-Texas) has expressed his opposition to the Biden administration’s proposal to transfer members of the Air National Guard to the Space Force without the permission of state or territorial governors. [More]

That must be why the ACLU tried to evade my challenge by claiming the Militia evolved into the National Guard…

And there are still egotistical useful idiots mistaking themselves for informed trying to keep the lie proppped up.

It’s funny– I go back to some of my old stuff, and while I can see things I said then that I might challenge today, I’m not unhappy that my influencers then were those arguing text, history, and tradition…

Next Generation Army Rifle Highlights Danger of ‘Common Use’ Argument to Defend 2nd Amendment

And the prohibitionists are aided in citizen disarmament when “gun rights leaders” not only accept – but argue for an invented “in common use at the time” qualifier that limits permitted firearms to what is commercially popular, as opposed to what soldiers and police carry… [More]

Hitler envisioned a Thousand Year Reich. The goal in the evil minds of fascist gun banners is a totalitarian monopoly of violence—forever.

Maxine Waters Calls on DOJ to Investigate Trump Supporters ‘Training Up in the Hills’ for Civil War [More]

As opposed to Maxine Waters supporters training for another “defining moment in the way that black people resisted“…?

Finland’s Government Support for Civilian Shooting: A Step in the Right Direction the U.S. Should Take

“Well, the reservists are ready and willing, if Russkies are coming. They will be a big help for the regular army,” Saro declared. “If there will be new shooting ranges opened, the main reason is just to be ready and practice. It is pretty similar to our Civil Guard that was active before the wars. Then, besides reservist and military, there are hunters.” [More]

Yes, there’s plenty wrong with their “gun control” laws. That doesn’t mean we can’t learn from what they do right.

Their Fudd Guns and Every Other Popular Implement of the Sportsman are the Privilege of an American

We are losing machine guns, folks, and we’re losing them every single day, and they’re never coming back most likely. [Watch]

As long as lawyers representing us continue to treat “in common use” as what’s commercially permitted instead of what’s deployed with, he’s right.

M-16 Era Ends: Army’s 101st Airborne Division Receives Next-Gen Assault Rifles [More]

You and I can’t have those either, because they’re not “in common use.”

As long as we allow that to be defined by what’s popular for “self-defense” and sport as opposed to arms that soldiers bear, we’re giving the prohibitionists an out to screw us.

Challenge to Illinois Assault Weapon Ban Includes Militia Considerations in Right to Arms

“If courts continue to operate under the misimpression that the right to keep and bear arms protects only neutered firearms like break-barrel shotguns and bolt-action hunting rifles, the Second Amendment will offer little but a parchment barrier against tyranny,” the GOA petition correctly observes. [More]

It’s a necesary legal hurdle to clear if gun owners ever hope to challenge the constitutionality of the National Firearms Act.

News in Brief

GOA Petition to SCOTUS for Writ of Certiorari Against Illinois Categorical Ban on AR-15s… Friends of The Captain’s Journal Stephen Stamboulieh and Oliver Krawczyk wrote this brief, along with Rob Olson. A better constructed and more direct and honest one you will never find. [More]

This covers some essential points that can’t be raised enough. I intend to write an article soon explaining why.

Swiss Shooting Culture ‘Documentary’ Reinforces False Narrative to Justify ‘Gun Control’

It would help if he didn’t automatically buy into prohibitionist propaganda, but by doing so he relieves us of the obligation to take him as an impartial and objective observer. [More]

Why is there such a difference in the numbers and rates of violent crimes betweeen two armed cultures? Hint: It ain’t because of “gun control” laws.
