A Tale of Two Revolutions

In Contrasting Ideals, Faria not only introduces us to key “players” in both revolutions, like Maximilien Robespierre and other Reign of Terror figures like Jean-Paul Marat, whose differences with “Founding Fathers” like George Washington and Thomas Jefferson could not have been more pronounced. For rebellions that seemingly had so much in common at the outset, the goals of those driving them were antithetical. [More]

If you’re not familiar with the teachings of Dr. Miguel A. Faria, Jr., you’ve denied yourself the opportunity of learning from the best. If you are familiar, do yourself a favor by reading this, and your friends a favor by then recommending it to them.

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.

Killing You Softly with His Song

Upset that the karaoke machine at a Florida bar was not working, a man pointed a Glock pistol at another patron and fired off a round, according to police who arrested the suspect, a convicted felon barred from possessing a firearm. [More]

I could swear we’ve addressed this before

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.

A Gun Sense Politician

I wanted to update you on the situation involving Senator Nicole Mitchell, who is facing felony burglary charges after breaking into her stepmother’s home last year. On March 13, the Senate Ethics Committee met to review two complaints against Senator Nicole Mitchell tied to these charges and her behavior. Despite clear evidence of wrongdoing, the committee failed to take meaningful action. [More]

Felonies…? So, she could end up a “prohibited person”…?

What is it about these people who don’t trust us with guns…?

An Age-Old Question

The Florida law that prohibits minors from purchasing firearms does not violate the Second and Fourteenth Amendments because it is consistent with our historical tradition of firearm regulation. [More]

Really…?

We’re sure about that…?

Pam Bondi, eh…?

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.

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

Taking $200 Out of an ATM Should Not Trigger Federal Financial Surveillance… Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said the change “underscores our deep concern with the significant risk to the U.S. financial system of the cartels, drug traffickers, and other criminal actors along the Southwest border.” [More]

Maybe they can get some more of those “Always Think Forfeiture” Leathermans made up…

So, yet again, government creates problems it uses as an excuse to crack down on those of us paying for it. And this time, it’s “law and order Republicans.”

Out of Focus

Gun Control’s Focus Shifts to State Capitals [More]

While Main Justice does nothing about it.

Remember when the focus of some state capitals was on segregation and DOJ and the administration said “No”? (And note the media trick of calling George Wallace a “staunch conservative.” He was a Democrat at that time and didn’t run as an “American Independent” until ’68.)

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…?

Begging Your Pardon

“The ‘Pardons’ that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen,” Trump claimed in a Truth Social post. [More]

Oh, HUN-terrr…
