Of Course You Realize This Means War

U.S. Appeals Court upholds AG Maura Healey’s interpretation of assault weapons ban [More]

I see GOAL has not decided on an appeal to SCOTUS. We have a right to know the government's ultimate intentions but must make sure the arguments are centered on the Founding intent of an armed citizenry keeping and bearing weapons suitable for militia utility. That way there will be no weasel-wording around a John Roberts-led court ruling justifying armed rebellion.

Speaking of which, I had an occasion the other night to watch Amistad, and found it interesting that the movie version of the High Court's opinion acknowledged the slaves were "free individuals with certain legal and moral rights, including the right to engage in insurrection against those who would  deny them their freedom."

You could say that's implied if not specifically stated in the actual decision, but I found it curious to see that rhetoric in a film coming out of Hollywood and Spielberg. Then again, I was half-expecting to see Anthony Hopkins' John Quincy Adams wheeled in front of the court on an upright gurney wearing a muzzle mask.

Speaking of Aptronyms

The problem is — and I’m hardly alone in thinking this — that the NRA doesn’t really support me, at least anymore. Their mission, once focused on education, safety and proficiency, seems to have narrowed to a fixation on the preservation of both Republican politicians and the unfettered ability to buy, sell and carry any and every kind of firearm in every conceivable time and place. [More]

So says "Greg Hunter," Fudd and Democrat apparatchik. Way to give aid and comfort to the enemies of gun owners, Quisling. If I were an FFL and I knew this guy, I'd tell him to get the hell out of my store.

You want the NRA's original mission? It was to train American citizens to become proficient in keeping and bearing “weapons of war.”

Here's where being marginalized by the media and the search engines kills us-- by having this disinformation appear on NBC News, this will get thousands of times more eyeballs than niche "gun advocacy" sites can draw, and influence thousands of times more voters. That's the reason behind the only thing I ask of readers, not that most will bother.

I received the Chisolm letter from the principals the other day along with the document that prompted this response. There's more to say, which I will in a day or so when I finish some other stuff I'm working on first.
