by Annie Oakley, Not The Bee:
The ATF is an unelected body of hired bureaucrats that have no power invested in them to make law, and certainly not law under the “SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED” section of the U.S. Constitution.
But that doesn’t matter because this is 2023 and we need to progress past silly notions like liberty and tyranny because the federal government wants to be the only one that owns guns.
by Ron Paul, Ron Paul Institute:
Gun control advocates continue to claim that only restrictions on gun ownership will keep people safe from mass shooters and other criminals. However, good people with guns can stop bad people with guns. And bad people will still have guns despite gun control laws. Further weakening the argument that restricting private firearms ownership will reduce violent crimes is the fact that states with “constitutional carry” — where individuals are free to exercise their Second Amendment rights without seeking permission from the government — have lower homicide rates than states with more restrictive gun laws.
by W.R. Wordsworth, American Thinker:
We find ourselves living in a highly consequential time for the legal clarification of the 2nd Amendment. Extremely aggressive, wide-ranging bans of semi-automatic firearms have been enacted in various parts of the country, drawing legal challenges. While the ultimate resolution of these challenges is unknowable, many observers believe the Supreme Court will eventually arrive at a decision prohibiting the wholesale banning of semi-automatic firearms. Those who dream of eliminating all private gun ownership in the United States face the prospect of a devastating legal defeat.

York County, SC — In yet another egregious display of police brutality and gross negligence, body cam footage was released this week of police dumping more than 50 rounds into a truck occupied by a suicidal man — whose mother called 911 for help. Trevor Mullinax and his mother, Tammy Beason, are seeking justice for the reckless actions that left Mullinax hospitalized with 9 bullet holes in his body and charged with a crime he claims he did not commit.

“He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.” — Declaration of Independence
The IRS, the U.S. Postal Service, the EPA, the Department of Health and Human Services, and more than 100 other federal agencies (none of which operate under the aegis of the Department of Defense) have “spent $3.7 billion on guns, ammunition, and military-style equipment,” according to a new report on the arming of the bureaucracy.
by Kurt Schlichter, Townhall:
There’s a war going on against our sacred right to self-defense, and we need to defend that right, ruthlessly and vigorously against the communists who want us living in fear. And they do want us living in fear – sheep are easier to shear than sheepdogs. If you look what happened in New York City, where some mutant bum decided to threaten a bunch of people on a subway car, and then some heroes subdued him, and then he vapor-locked, and then the usual cast of liars and race-pimps screeched, you can see what they are doing – not merely trying to disarm us but trying to make us fear to defend ourselves at all. They want you terrified and impotent in the face of their unofficial militia, the criminals. The right to keep and bear arms means nothing if you are going to get jammed up whenever you have to use hot lead to stop the latest trans shooter, or junkie with a knife, or carjacker, or schizo hobo, or whatever. Which is the idea.
