CDC Director Goes ‘Old School’ with Call to Push Anti-Gun Agenda

By once more involving CDC in the agenda/junk science propaganda effort, Director Walensky is actually going “old school.” [More]

I, 'Gun Criminal'

 If you get caught with arms, even JPFO will support prosecutions, because everyone knows the Second Amendment stops short of legally arming criminals. [More]

I freely confess to having been a "gun criminal" for years in California. I just never got caught for that and for carrying "illegally" for over 20 years.

Where the Second Amendment stops short is giving approval to infringements.

I'm delighted to see JPFO be one of the first national groups to understand the threat the current "immigration/invasion" plot poses. I caution them to think through how they make their case.

Voter Malpractice

 The bill passed the Senate on Aug. 18 along party lines, 27-20, with all Republicans for and all Democrats against. Republicans have argued in favor of the bill, repeatedly noting the law’s origin in the Jim Crow South and efforts to keep guns away from Black North Carolinians. [More]

So naturally:

Black voters are significantly more likely to register as a Democrat (79%) compared to other groups

Never let reality get in the way of a planted preconception...?

Sell-Outs

 Conservatives must finally recognize something that’s very depressing and very important: the conservative intellectual movement in America didn’t just fail. It aided and abetted the Left for money. The Left bought off the Right’s leading conservative intellectuals. And its think tanks. And its “flagship” magazines. This is not hyperbole or conjecture. I’ve got the receipts. [More]

The current system purposely undermines a key goal of the Preamble, "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." Any "reform" that doesn't embrace that -- and ensure new admissions adhere to the values of a limited government and a Bill of Rights culture -- is just part of the power grab.

Counterpoint:

Fun fact: A dismissal is not a win. The judge dismissed the case because of a pending remedy at hand, actually 2 separate pending cases. These are co-suits with the DOJ arguing that MO can’t nullify federal law.

As much as I hate to admit it, she's got a point. I owuldn't be breaking out the champagne just yet.

Refusing DOD Covid-19 Mandate Can Turn Military Personnel into ‘Prohibited Persons’

 

“Identify Prohibited Persons The Gun Control Act (GCA), codified at 18 U.S.C. § 922(g), makes it unlawful for certain categories of persons to ship, transport, receive, or possess firearms or ammunition, to include any person … who has been discharged from the Armed Forces under dishonorable conditions;” [More]

"Some people don’t know how to get rid of a weapon and were appreciative that this was a way to do it safely."

I wonder how many people they tempted into bringing in their guns knew how to clear them...

I guess "reporter" Jean Yamamura doesn't know how to ask questions and access authoritative points of view:

Evidence: Gun buybacks are ineffective as generally implemented. 1. The buybacks are too small to have an impact. 2. The guns turned in are at low risk of ever being used in a crime. 3. Replacement guns are easily acquired. Unless these three points are overcome, a gun buyback cannot be effective.
