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.

Very Real Potential for ‘Existential’ EMP Attack Highlights Suicidal Short-Sightedness of Gun Banners

If only the Founders had conceived of a way that Americans could band together in times of existential threat and to provide for what was “necessary to the security of a free state…” [More]

Who thinks disarming before the collapse “top men” are preparing for is a good idea?

Tyranny Preempted

This morning, AzCDL’s case against Pima County for its violation of Arizona’s firearm preemption law (A.R.S. § 13-3108) ended in victory for your rights! Judge Greg Sakall of the Arizona Superior Court in Pima County rejected the county’s motion to dismiss the case and granted our request for summary judgment. Judge Sakall ruled from the bench in our favor on all claims! [More]

Great. Now, what personal disincentives did he apply to keep Arizona grabtards from trying again?

Reason for Mexico Terror Threat Against U.S. Gunmakers Suggests Government in Pocket of Cartels

Top officials, in all branches of government, the police, and the military, are in the pockets of the cartels. [More]

Don’t think of them as partners. Think of them as conjoined twins.

No Hypocrisy

The Anti-ATF Commandeering Act has the intended purpose in its title to “prohibit the provision of material aid and support for enforcement of federal firearms laws.” House Bill 1481 bases its justification on the finding that “the United States Supreme Court has long held that states do not have to participate in the enforcement or effectuation of federal acts or regulatory programs.” [More]

So, what about states that refuse to help ICE deport illegals? Isn’t it the same thing?

The Arkansas bill supports “the supreme Law of the Land.” So-called “sanctuary” laws undermine it.

What Do You Need an ‘Assault Weapon’ For?

Chilling surveillance footage showed one of the club’s security guards – who appeared to be wearing body armor – calmly raising his weapon as he steps in front of cowering clubgoers diving to the ground below. [More]

“Commonsense gun safety advocates” would rather he and the sheep he protected had been slaughtered.

Babe in Arms

Mother With Baby on Hip Gets in Shootout With Alleged Intruders [More]

Reasons why Moms Demand Action bleaters would rather she had been unarmed and killed:

  • A successful DGU contradicts everything they stand for.
  • They want people to believe a gun in the home endangers all women.
  • If the invaders had killed her with guns, the Moms have been able to point to another “victim of gun violence” — maybe two, if they were “lucky.”

Oh well, maybe someone can salvage something out of this and make a case for child endangerment…

CO Democrats Dictate Terms of Surrender

Like something out of the Gremlins movies, Senate Bill 25-003 was amended well past midnight to transform from a near all-encompassing semi-automatic ban into a permit-to-purchase scheme reminiscent of Illinois’ FOID cards. [More]

From a Rocky Mountain Gun Owners email:

Without any public testimony or stakeholders, radical anti-gun Senators changed SB-003 from an “Assault Weapons” Ban to the implementation of an Illinois-style Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card! … Under this rebirthed version of SB-003, the weapons previously banned under this measure could only be purchased if gun purchasers, like you or I, voluntarily enter themselves into a statewide gun owner registry (fingerprints and all) maintained by the Colorado Bureau of Investigation!! … And worst of all the only way to obtain this permission slip is to pay out of pocket and spend hours at an anti-gun propaganda course from the government!

You know, just like the Founders intended.

And, of course, you’ll not need ammo for those guns we won’t let you have…

Colorado Democrats intend to bring you to heel.

EXPOSED: Outside the floor debate of SB25-003, bill sponsor Sen Tom Sullivan, harassed an individual from a Colorado gun rights organization who had left a box of petitions in his office from Sullivan’s own constituents, and he repeatedly called the petitions “trash”. [More]

It’s not just petitions Democrats call “garbage.”
