The Enemies Within

“Understand that if active duty military actually get deployed within the United States, that weapon is not just going to be pointed at other people, other countries, it’s pointed at you.” [More]

And those will be real “weapons of war.”

Noting the differences in sheer numbers and the impossibility of containing them, I’d say there’s a meme in there somewhere, but I’m actually more concerned with how China and Russia would be taking advantage of Democrat-initiated hostilities, with no small amount of reliance on another group that outnumbers the military.

‘Paramilitary Ban’ Just Another Democrat Plot to Secure Monopoly of Violence

The issue as far as Raskin and Markey’s latest affront to liberty goes, is that nowhere in the Constitution is the federal government delegated authority to ban paramilitary activities. They are usurping power – or trying to. And though Raskin cites authority including the Supreme Court’s admission in Heller “that the Second Amendment ‘does not prevent the prohibition of private paramilitary organizations,’” it would be interesting to see how that would hold up against the more recent Bruen standard of the understanding at the time of the Founding. Especially noting historical examples like Allen, or more to the point, Capt. John Parker at Lexington Green… [More]

“I ask, sir, what is the militia? It is the whole people, except for few public officials,” George Mason asked and answered. Curious, how public officials are bent on destroying that…

On Being Necessary

Those Forgotten and Ignored 13 Words: Why We Need Our State Second Amendment Militias Back in Force and Effect [More]

Some of us have been saying that for a while, and wondering when the “gun rights groups” are going to give it some of the attention they devote exclusively to “self-defense.”

I have another Firearms News article coming out soon on efforts to ban “private paramilitary” activities.

The Criminalizing Any Chance of Organizing Against Domestic and Foreign Tyranny Act

The “Preventing Private Paramilitary Activity Act” is being introduced by Senator Ed Markey from Massachusetts, and Congressman Jamie Raskin of Maryland, both Democrats. [More]

Both traitors…

Boy, Tess Owen of Vice really buys into their subversive crap, right down to calling Oath Keepers a “militia” and hyperventilating over the unarmed J6 protestors…

Here’s the proposed abomination.

It’s not showing up on GovTrack yet to show a 2% chance of passing…

We’re Not the Only Ones

Michigan Sheriff Dar Leaf is offering a “militia course” to residents, according to a Friday Facebook post. The constitutionalist sheriff posted a graphic for enrollment to “learn a militiaman’s duty” for “potential jurors, homeschoolers, ladies & gentlemen.” [More]

I must learn more.

No doubt TPTB are loooking for ways to infiltrate, smear, and destroy him.

Location, Location, Location!

Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Wynn A:

The sentiment of gun owners seems to be if it isn’t ‘registered’ the powers that be don’t know about it. Fools errand. As witnessed with Katrina the goons will go door to door and forcibly search all buildings. The citizens of New Orleans went along with this outlandish conduct. Will today’s Americans do the same?

By the time they’re at your door, it’s too late.

Depending on the area, I have a feeling that if this starts in any significant numbers, many confiscators will end up more concerned about what’s coming to their door.

But No One’s Talking About Taking Your Guns

More to the point, what is the mental state of some ignorant Marxist hoplophobe who doesn’t understand the Second Amendment and thinks Americans who do will allow themselves to be disarmed?

Showdown Coming?

The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit heard oral argument today in Reese v. BATFE involving whether young adults have a right to acquire firearms from federal gun dealers under the Second Amendment and, relatedly, whether 18 USC 922(b)(1) is constitutional. Mark Smith Four Boxes Diner predicts that this gun control statute will be struck down and then the US DOJ will have to seek cert from the US Supreme Court. [Watch]

What was the understanding at the time of the Founding?

What is the law?

The Way Things Are

But it was not normal. It was an anomaly, a glorious one, but an anomaly nonetheless. [More]

Word:

…I must ask where in history is any civilization guaranteed stasis? Has not despotism and mass destruction plagued every civilization that preceded ours? Is it not, in fact, still commonplace throughout the globe? By what suspension of reality, by what denial of the observable and the probable, by what art, device or magic are we sheltered few immune from catastrophe? Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that such things will ever remain headline curiosities? Is it not just plain stupid to proclaim that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances; and one, by the way, that has only been preserved under force of arms?

And I loved the bit about the cat women.

A Feature, Not a Bug

Yet, when these dedicated analysts came to their woke bosses, saying, “We need to pay attention to this!” Their bosses contemptuously dismissed them with something like, “Don’t worry about it” When the shallow and self-centered don’t want something to be true, they “pretend” it’s not true. That’s exactly what happened at Pearl Harbor in 1941, in Vietnam just prior to the Tet Offensive in 1968 (I was there for that one!), and in NYC in September of 2001. [More]

Ephesians 6:12 comes to mind.

Parallel Worlds

David Codrea, in Firearms News reports that “While parallels to the situation in Ukraine are understandable enough to make with this new move to recruit civilians into the defense equation, the biggest similarity (and biggest mistake) is, both nations waited until the wolf was at the door to start the process. [More]

I was talking about Taiwan, but yeah, the parallels are there too.

I’ll take whatever publicity I can get as long as it doesn’t come with a mug shot.

A Good First Step

Israel’s National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir announced Tuesday that 10,000 assault rifles are being purchased and distributed to civilian security teams in communities along the country’s borders. [More]

This isn’t a case of just handing out rifles to civilians like they did in Ukraine:

Civilian security teams provide security to small towns and communities in Israel’s periphery and in West Bank settlements, some of which helped defend residents from the Hamas invasion on Saturday before the IDF was able to arrive.

But like Ukraine, what the government giveth, the government taketh away:

Approximately three years ago, the IDF began taking away firearms from some of these security teams due to the repeated theft of such weapons … they were essentially unarmed during Hamas’s invasion.

“Gun control” kills.
