And I’m Proud to Be an American Where at Least I Know I’m Free

The Government Spent 5 Years Trying to Shut Down the Freedom Center – What Are They So Afraid Of? [More]

What’s that about Rights and Duties…?

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it… when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

Funny… why aren’t I hearing about this from the DSM…?

The Power to Destroy

“California effectively seeks the power to destroy the exercise of a constitutional right by singling it out for special taxation,” the lawsuit alleges. “If this tax is permitted, there is nothing stopping California from imposing a 50% or even 100% tax on a constitutional right it disfavors whether it be the right to keep and bear arms, the right to free exercise of religion, or any other right.” [More]

Just like if one gun a month is good, one gun a year is better!

Or if a three-day waiting period…

Here’s the complaint.

As Much Respect for the First as the Second

Liam asserted that the school’s actions in May 2023 violated his First Amendment right to freedom of expression, particularly as a form of “viewpoint discrimination.” Although his speech was censored, the speech of those expressing a different perspective on the same issue was not. [More]

You’re gonna suck it and like it.

Funny, how many rainbows I see…

Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth

The justices in a 6-3 vote on nonideological lines handed a win to defendant Joseph Fischer, who is among hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants — including former President Donald Trump — who have been charged with obstructing an official proceeding over the effort to prevent Congress’ certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory.

That’s great news. But once again, Amy Coney Barrett casts doubt on her appointment.

She gave us Bruen, but as the saying goes, “What has she done for us lately?”

As I noted at the time:

While Barrett’s confirmation should give gun owners a degree of hope and should certainly be viewed as more positive than a Biden nominee being placed on the High Court, we’ll need to wait and see if the gun groups or the gun-grabbers are right in their assessments. Republican appointments have disappointed in the past. Warren Burger and David Souter coming to mind.

Back to J6, that means hundreds have been falsely accused, arrested, prosecuted,and imprisoned. Who will pay?

Democrats are still out there smearing them as insurrectionists and traitors.

Border Patrol: More Than 13K Illegals with Criminal Convictions Arrested So Far in 2024 [More]

What’s all that costing us?

And how many deported? How many released from custody?

Kinda makes me want to go out there and pay my taxes.

A government that wanted to could end this tomorrow.

Why doesn’t it want to?

Or aren’t we supposed to talk about that?

An Octagon Divided

Trump floats UFC-style migrant league amid border crisis… “But actually, it’s not the worst idea I’ve ever had”… [More]

True enough…

Just what the country needs. More division.

More distracting bread and circuses, more gladiators…

A citizenry with redirected, trivial, and misinformed priorities is incapable of fulfilling its end of the deal in “form[ing] a more perfect Union.”

Ahistorical, Atextual, and Nontraditional

Gun Owners of America (GOA) and the Gun Owners Foundation today teamed up with the Coalition of New Jersey Firearm Owners to challenge the state’s onerous permitting requirements to purchase handguns as well as New Jersey’s arbitrary “one gun a month” law. [More]

You mean states that signed on to the Constitution might have balked if they saw a list of permissible infringements?
