"The endeavor to manage stigma is placed on all gun owners to some extent, in or out of events, even those who do not engage in illegal practices, because the stigma attached to gun culture is so pervasive.” [More]

It’s clear these new licensing requirements will be used to target websites hosting technical data and software. Now, the Biden-Harris administration can shutdown sites for not having govt issued license. And it appears the rule change will now give them the legal authority to ban 3D printed guns. [More]
Don't think of it as a totalitarian government that has unconstitutionally empowered itself to ban knowledge. Think of it as commonsense information safety laws.

St. Louis County Police Chief Mary Barton is unexpectedly stepping down from her position. Her office is cleaned out. Barton tells the Board of Police Commissioners that she is officially retiring. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that she will be leaving her post after accepting a large settlement after filing a federal complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She alleged discrimination. [More]

In a 2018 case out of Adams County, a woman was convicted for purchasing a firearm that her common-law husband, a convicted felon, could access. In an appeal of that conviction, a three-judge panel of the appeals court ruled in a precedent-setting opinion Thursday that’s the same as transferring a firearm to an ineligible person even if it isn’t a permanent transaction.

If you haven't read Jonathan Mayhew's 1750 sermon trashing the Catholic Church/Church of England dogma of unlimited submission to authority based on self-serving misinterpretation of Romans 13 etc, it's very compelling. The American Revolution likely wouldn't have succeeded or happened without it. Every Christian should read it today. Over the years I've seen many so-called Protestant conservatives online parroting the unqualified obedience doctrine... OBEY. [More]
Been a while since I got into an "angels on the head of a pin" argument...
I'll need to find time to read it thoroughly. What I've seen so far pretty much agrees with a 1747 Philadelphia sermon I cite from time to time:
"He that suffers his life to be taken from him by one who has no authority for that purpose, when he might preserve it by defense, incurs the Guilt of self murder since God has enjoined him to seek the continuance of his life, and Nature itself teaches every creature to defend [it]self."

Good thing this has nothing to do with that "single issue."
My first thought was to dub over the sound of a herd from The Walking Dead.
There's a new school of "thought" being promoted by excuse-makers posing as "reasonable and humane" RKBA advocates that the reason newly enfranchised citizens and their progeny vote Dem is that we're mean to them and we need to do outreach instead of trying to stop the invasion.
I've said "fine on the outreach" since the first time I heard this but don't kid yourself and others by saying it will make a difference until you can come up with credible numbers to show how much it would cost to compete with messaging from the other side, where that money will come from, how effective that would be, and how long it would take -- because by then, the branches of government would be occupied and it would be "game over" for any kind of legislative or judicial recourse. Add to that any messaging would be drowned out by Spanish language media and the "regular" DSM. and anything challenging that, particularly as it pertains to guns, would be censored, deplatformed, and "canceled" by social media "fact-checkers" and the Tech thought cartel.
If you disagree, change my mind. But take the challenge first instead of avoiding it with weasel-worded excuses, like everyone else objecting to it has offered up so far...

The keyword here is "committed." The grabbers talk about "extreme right circles, numerous militias, white supremacists, and other fringe groups [translation: Republicans/gun owners] openly discuss[ing] acts of violence."
