citizenship – The War on Guns

A Fly in the Ointment?

If there is a message in my filing both a Writ of Mandamus and Writ of Prohibition with the Supreme Court of Ohio yesterday, to prevent Secretary of State Frank LaRose from certifying the candidacy of his endorsed candidate until he’s verified his parents’ immigration status at his birth on August 9, 1985, it is that Republican so-called “leaders” have reached the limits of our tolerance… LaRose must submit a DHS Form G-845 to verify the citizenship status of every candidate on the ballot. 8 U.S.C. 1373 authorizes him to ask.

Ramaswamy’s not a legal citizen? Plus Eric Brewer has concerns with the legal citizenship status of Musk, Rubio, Patel, and Oz…

Now that he says he’s filed, will an investigation be forced? There’s nothing in the news about this, just his Facebook post. It’s probably too early to fantasize about Casey Putsch being declared winner of the primary by Ramaswamy’s disqualification…

And as much as I’d like to see if there’s any there there, I gotta ask: Is he onto something big that’s being suppressed by the powers that be, or just an obsessed gadfly with issues?

Adventures in Rigorousness

A Department of Homeland Security official was killed in Georgia by a naturalized U.S. citizen with a prior criminal record, a case that is raising new questions about the federal government’s vetting process after the agency recently acknowledged significant screening gaps. [More]

It’s just now “raising questions”?

Y’know, I read somewhere that the Preamble offers guidance on who should be eligible for admission…

Just Like the Preamble Requires

Yep. Government should exercise no power and take no action that does not “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”

So… what are they gonna ask them about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment…?

And what can they get wrong and still “pass”?

I’ve been beating the dual citizenship and immigrants on 2A drums for a long time. It’s nice to see someone else talking about it, but it’s still a far cry from someone doing something about it.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
