All your Google searches will now be used against you by the state to block your right to buy a gun
by Ethan Huff, Natural News:
Be careful what you search for online. Big Tech, in lockstep with Big Brother, is reportedly plotting to use your internet browsing history against you in order to deprive you of your Second Amendment rights.
At the close of 2018, the state of New York – which recently legalized infanticide (baby murder), to thunderous applause – put forth a new gun control bill that, if passed, would require anyone who wants to purchase a gun to first hand over three years’ worth of social media history, as well as one year’s worth of internet search history.
Universal Background Checks Are Back
by José Niño, Mises:
While everyone was chatting about the 2018-2019 United States government shutdown, House Democrats introduced a universal background check bill H.R. 8 on January 8, 2019.
Marketed as a means to fight gun violence, this year’s UBC bill is the flagship legislation for gun controllers in the House. It would require almost all firearms sales and loans to be conducted by a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL). In turn, all these transactions go through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), closing the so-called “ gun show loophole.”
12 SHERIFFS REFUSE TO ENFORCE NEW GUN-CONTROL LAW
from WND:
Washington state voters last fall approved the most restrictive gun-control measures since the Florida high-school shooting, but sheriffs in a dozen conservative counties in the state are refusing to enforce the law until courts decide whether it’s constitutional.
“I swore an oath to defend our citizens and their constitutionally protected rights,” Grant County Sheriff Tom Jones said, the Associated Press reported. “I do not believe the popular vote overrules that.”
Sheriffs in New Mexico Vow Not to Enforce 6 Absolutely OUTRAGEOUS New Gun Control Bills
by Dagny Taggart, The Organic Prepper:
New Mexico has a new governor, and she really doesn’t like guns.
Michelle Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, was sworn into office on January 1, replacing pro-gun Republican Susana Martinez.
In early December, the National Rifle Association (NRA) warned the citizens of New Mexico to expect “unprecedented attacks” on their Constitutional rights.
Unprecedented Gun Confiscation Hits US as Thousands Of Guns Seized from Innocent Citizens
by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:
As politicians claim they aren’t coming for your guns, over 1,700 citizens have had their guns confiscated in 2018 and this number is likely far higher as many states don’t report it.
As politicians and anti-gun rights activists continuously chant, “we don’t want to take your guns,” behind the scenes — in only the year — politicians have been working overtime to limit your right to bear arms. These laws are all a reaction to the tragic shooting in Parkland, Florida and, like most politicians always do, they are not letting this tragedy go to waste.
SMITH & WESSON REJECTS PUSH BY ANTI-SECOND AMENDMENT SHAREHOLDERS
by Derek Hunter, The Daily Caller:
The latest strategy of gun control activists is to force gun manufacturers “to consider their social impact” by buying stock in those companies and mobilizing shareholders to demand they study the concept.
The group called Adrian Dominican Sisters, led by a nun named Sister Judy Byron, is part of the Northwest Coalition for Responsible Investments, an anti-Second Amendment activist group. Their latest target was American Outdoor Brands Corporation (AOBC), which owns Smith & Wesson. The company was forced to do a study, which was released late Friday, but the results likely won’t make the nuns happy.
Hawaii Lawmakers Propose Public-funded Anti-gun Fake News Factory
from Ammoland:
Fairfax, VA – -(Ammoland.com)- Following California’s lead, Hawaiian lawmakers are seeking to use money gleaned from Aloha State taxpayers to fund their anti-gun propaganda efforts. HB 1541 would establish the Hawaii Gun Violence Prevention Center, a public and privately funded “interdisciplinary” effort to analyze “gun-related violence and its prevention.”
Research into violence perpetrated with firearms isn’t in itself a bad thing. However, the explanatory portion of the Hawaii legislation gives away the game.
The bill laments that, “In 1996, Congress passed the Dickey Amendment, with a provision which prevents the use of federal money for gun violence research and prevention,” adding “As a result of this effective ban on gun violence research, funding for gun violence prevention research has declined dramatically.”
New York Isn’t The Only State Looking To Target Your Guns Through Social Media & Internet Search History
by Tim Brown, Freedom OutPost:
There have been several stories that have covered New York Democrat’s Kevin Parker’s unconstitutional targeting of people to deny them purchase for a gun to keep and bear under the protections of the Second Amendment through social media analysis and internet search history, even though this is a denial of due process under the Fifth Amendment. However, have you heard that this is starting to take hold in other states as well? Illinois is also considering this unconstitutional attack on the freedoms of Americans that it is supposed to protect.
Illinois demorats introduce bill requiring gun buyers to reveal social media accounts
from Fellowship Of The Minds:
Who gets to define “troubling” comments?
From MyFoxChicago: Illinois Democrats are introducing a bill forcing gun buyers to reveal their public social media accounts to police before they are given permission to get a firearm license.
The new legislation is sponsored by two state Democratic lawmakers, in an effort to block people from acquiring guns if they have made some troubling comments on social media.
Another State Wants EVERY Gun Owner to Hand Over Their Social Media Accounts and Internet Search History
by Dagny Taggart, Activist Post:
Unconstitutional gun law ideas seem to spread from one state to another like some kind of insidious virus.
Late last year, an Orwellian gun bill was presented in New York state. If signed into law, anyone who wants to buy a gun would have to turn over three years of their social media history and one year of their Internet search history.
“A three-year review of a social media profile would give an easy profile of a person who is not suitable to hold and possess a firearm,” said Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, who has proposed the legislation with New York State Senator Kevin Parker. (source)
Demorats block shooting survivor Steve Scalise from testifying at gun control legislation hearing. Here’s his statement
from Fellowship Of The Minds:
What happened to #BelieveSurvivors?
From Fox News: Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing Wednesday on new gun control legislation Democrats plan to push on the American people. The top Republican on the committee, Doug Collins, R-Ga., asked committee Democrats if I could testify about this legislation in an appropriate setting to offer another perspective as both a survivor of a shooting attack and strong supporter of our Second Amendment rights. But the Democrats said no. While liberals may try to silence conservative voices, I will not be silenced. The American people deserve to hear all perspectives. Here is the testimony I planned to give:
L.A. City Council Forces Contractors To Reveal Support For Second Amendment
by Jose Nino, Big League Politics:
Anti-gun interests never rest.
A Los Angeles City Council Committee approveda draft ordinance on February 4, 2019 that will require city contractors to disclose any affiliations they have with the NRA. Although this ordinance would not ban contractors tied to the NRA from doing business with the city, it still requires them to disclose contracts and sponsorship agreements they have with the Second Amendment group.
Shooting Survivor Steve Scalise: Democrats Will Not Let Me Testify Against Gun Control
by Awr Hawkins, Breitbart:
Shooting survivor and U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) says the Democrats refused his request to testify against the gun control currently being pushed in the House.
Steve Scalise says Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) asked Democrats to let Scalise give testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and they told him no.
Fox News reports that Scalise decided to make public the testimony he would have given, testimony that explains why universal background checks will not reduce gun violence or make Americans safer.
Venezuela Says It Intercepted Covert US Weapons Shipment From Miami
by ZH, via The Anti Media:
Venezuelan officials have announced the seizure of a large shipment of American weapons which they say were bound for anti-Maduro “terrorist groups.” This comes following US national security advisor John Bolton’s pledge to deliver “humanitarian aid” into the country, covertly if need be, despite embattled President Nicolas Maduro’s vow to prevent such unauthorized shipments from entering.
A state official, Endes Palencia, the deputy minister of prevention and public safety, published photographs of the intercepted weapons shipment to social media, purportedly seized at a Venezuelan airport. According to his statement at least 19 rifles, 118 rifle chargers, 90 radio antennas, high-caliber ammunition, and six cellphones were shipped from the US to Arturo Michelena International Airport in Valencia.
