Kash Patel, Shorten the Leash

A year ago, the ATF raided an airport exec’s home—no knock, they covered the cameras, cut the power, and kicked open the front door. They shot him dead in front of his wife over gun sale suspicions… Seeking to stop this from occurring in his state again, Rep. Wayne Long reached out to NAGR and we teamed up to draft HB 1481, the Anti-ATF Commandeering Act. [More]

That could work in AR if they can get enough support. As for the rest of the Republic, why not try to stop such abuses by putting the responsibility where it belongs?

All You Need to Know About Current Oregon Gun Infringement Effort

THE REPUBLICANS CAN STOP THIS [More]

If they don’t it’s because they don’t want to, meaning Oregon gun owners must look to the Republican feds, who don’t seem to want to, either.

It’s Not Like They’re Powerless

The article does not identify the Federal statute the DoJ can act with. A State judge ruling on State laws is, I would think, a matter for the State. The next step is to fight the law(s) in Federal court. [More]

The Second Amendment and the Constitution being “the supreme Law of the Land” isn’t enough? They’re not shy about citing the First Amendment:

The United States has an interest in protecting the individual rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.

Also, like we noted in the “Ashcroft Petition“:

The Fourteenth Amendment guarantees to the people of each state the full benefit of all rights recognized under the U.S. Constitution, and Americans living in the state of California are being subjected to gross infringements of their Second Amendment rights and therefore are being treated unequally under the law;

And as for federal courts, sure, a “UNITED STATES’ STATEMENT OF INTEREST IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT” would be a big help.

Rocky Mountain Low

The latest version of Senate Bill-003 passed committee last Friday and threatens to change your way of life in Colorado. Under this bill, our: ● Sheriffs are permitted to require a DNA test from you to buy a gun. ● Parks and Wildlife Division will use money dedicated to hunting to fund expansive gun control schemes. ● Department of Revenue will be in charge of deciding which guns you can and can’t buy. [More]

Because of Democrat gun-grabber dominance, you have to ask yourself what ways are still open to resolve this peaceably in favor of the Second Amendment, and why those who could lead the way don’t appear to want to.

My Friends, You Got Trouble

Acting U.S. Attorney Michael Simpson files brief for @TheJusticeDept arguing that silencers are NOT arms & are NOT protected by the Second Amendment. [More]

Did I hear someone say gun owners are losing patience?

Yeah, but he’s only been on the job two months and he’s got a lot on his plate and he’s playing a 3D chess game and… aside from “Would you rather have Kamala?” what excuse did I miss?

And any word on the Bondi report yet?

Justice Department Punts on Complaint against Compromised Anti-Gun Judge

Yet despite clear evidence of bias, thanks to a U.S. Department of Justice official policy of deliberate indifference, such judges will remain on the bench. [More]

What’s that John F. Kennedy quote about making peaceful revolution impossible…?

Right Now It’s Just Noise

REPORTER: Why are you pushing to loosen firearm restrictions in Florida?

DESANTIS: “Well, I would say I am vindicating people’s constitutional 2nd Amendment rights. We always have an obligation to do that.” [More]

Who’s the idiot “reporter”?

And when are the Vichycons in the Florida legislature going to give DeSantis something to sign?

Jojo Krako 2A Protection

The 30-day mark for Bondi to report back to Trump through his domestic policy director would have been this past Sunday, March 9. On Thursday, a Department of Justice official confirmed to ABC News that the deadline had been extended to Sunday, March 16. [More]

Who’s missin’ deadlines? We’re extendin’ ’em.

At this posting, still no official word. Hopefully later today there will be a YUGE announcement.

AAR Redux

In this episode of Armed American Radio, host Mark Walters discusses various topics surrounding Second Amendment rights, including the role of the ATF, legal challenges, and the implications of recent legislation such as Oregon’s Measure 114. The conversation also touches on the Aikens Accelerator case, expectations from Pam Bondi’s office, and the potential impact of Trump’s executive orders on gun rights. The episode features insights from David Codrea, a long-time contributor, who shares his perspectives on the current state of gun rights and the challenges faced by advocates. [Listen]

Last night’s program…

Oregon Court Decision Sides Against Second Amendment and with Tyranny

If it were other civil rights being violated by a state, precedent has already been established that the U.S. Department of Justice would step in and put a stop to it. Gun owners should demand the same for the Second Amendment from an administration that literally owes its electoral victory to them, and our “gun rights leaders” should be the loudest voices making sure it can’t be ignored. [More]

Yo, AG Bondi: A little help here? Or will your DOJ continue being selective about which rights it will protect?

Restoration Project

About two weeks ago, Ms. Oyer was put on a working group to restore gun rights to people convicted of crimes, she said. [More]

Four Boxes Diner explains the significance.

See, it’s not “prickly” at all, Mel.

Well, maybe for NRA President “Lautenberg Bob” Barr…

They Tyrannize Because They Can

Washington House Dems Pass Permit-to-Purchase Bill; Defies 2A, Say Critics [More]

That means the Marxists in charge can say “No,” and expand denial criteria with majority votes. This is naked, in-your-face tyranny.

As Constitutional scholar Edwin Vieira Jr. noted in Kolbe v. Hogan:

“This reliance on a permanent private market for firearms guaranteed that most militiamen, through their own efforts, could always obtain firearms suitable for both collective and individual self-defense, and forestalled tyranny by precluding rogue public officials from monopolizing the production, distribution, and possession of firearms.”

That’s why it’s a mistake to rely exclusively on “self defense” in legal arguments and avoid making a case for the Constitutiopnal Militia.

ATF Up to Old Tricks in Denying Attorney Fees on Bump Stock Case

If you want to fight for your rights against the unlimited power and treasure of the state, you’re on your own. That’s “the reasonableness of the government’s position.” [More]

We’re about to find out how different the new administration is from the old one when it comes to citizens being forced to fight for their rights.

Impact of Trump ‘Gender Ideology’ Order on Firearm Transactions to Be Determined

What this means is the Form 4473 will need to be revised again if ATF is to comply with the executive order. [More]

Don’t let this distract from a more basic argument.

Debate Over Nassau ‘Militia’ Focuses on Wrong Understanding of Founding Intent

It sounds more like reserve “Only Ones,” and Founding era thought leaders weren’t big on “select militias.” [More]

Letting those with an agenda redefine terms ignores the real argument.

Will Present Legal Arguments Undermine Future Efforts to Restore Second Amendment?

It’s taking care of our immediate needs. However, the Founders bequeathed us a constitution intended “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” If this is all we concern ourselves with, what are we bequeathing to them? Semiautomatic firearm technology that’s already 140 years old…? In a world where technological developments and breakthroughs are being introduced seemingly exponentially, what new “terrible implements” will become standard issue in the next 140 years? [More]

In avoiding legal traps today, care must be taken not to catch ourselves in a more dangerous one tomorrow.
