Full Authoritarian: New Mexico Governor Suspends Constitutional Gun Rights For Law-Abiding Citizens In Albuquerque

0

from ZeroHedge:

On Friday evening, New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) issued an emergency order suspending the right of law-abiding citizens to open and conceal carry firearms in crime-ridden Albuquerque and the surrounding county for at least 30 days, after declaring a public health emergency in response to a spate of recent gun violence.

Grisham, who apparently thinks criminals will follow her orders, says she expects legal challenges, but was ‘compelled to act’ following recent shootings, AP reports.

I’m being sued again for defending my life.

The Supreme Court Is Taking Up Another Major Second Amendment Case. Here’s What You Need To Know

0

by Katelynn Richardson, The Daily Caller:

  • The Supreme Court will hear a case this coming term, United States v. Rahimi, that could have significant ramifications for Second Amendment law.
  • The case centers on Zackey Rahimi — an individual who is “hardly a model citizen,” as the Fifth Circuit acknowledged while siding with him — and his constitutional challenge to the statute he was convicted under, which bars subjects of domestic violence restraining owners from possessing firearms.

The Only ‘National Defense’ Needed in This Country, Is Defense Against the Real Enemy: The Ruling Class and the U.S. Government

by Gary D. Barnett, Lew Rockwell:

“I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.”

H.L. Mencken

Throughout our history, and today, little, if any defense of this country or its people, has been necessary or warranted. The true enemy of the people of America is, and has always been, its own government. The real enemies are most all the politicians, regardless of party, the courts, the CIA, the NSA, the FBI, the IRS, the entire military industrial complex, and in general, the federal and state police forces. In other words, all the ruling class and it pawns in government, its enforcers, and all their institutions and bureaucracies, are the real threat to this populace and its natural freedoms. The ludicrous notion of national defense, and that government forces actually “defend the country,” is an outright lie; propagandized by the State and its mouthpieces in media, simply as a way to gain great power in order to own and control society.

House Democrats Demand 1,000% Tax On Semiautomatic Rifles

from ZeroHedge:

Democrats in Congress reintroduced legislation imposing a 1,000% excise tax on the sale of “large capacity ammunition feeding devices and semiautomatic assault weapons.”

US Rep. Don “Doug” Beyer, a Democrat from Virginia, and 24 other House Democrats introduced the bill on Friday. A similar bill was introduced by Beyer last year that would, of course, only mean wealthy elites and drug dealers could afford semiautomatic rifles (many of which are hunting rifles) while punishing middle and working-poor Americans.

The Biden Regime is Trying to Sneak Universal Background Checks Through a Regulatory Back Door

by Jose Nino, Big League Politics:

Last year, the gun control crowd scored one of its biggest victories in the last three decades after President Joe Biden signed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act into law.

Per a Fact Sheet published by the Biden regime in May 2023, a key provision of this legislation is “enhanced background checks” and a modified definition of who is “engaged in the business” of selling firearms.

Confiscation: Why Isn’t the Far Left Honest About Their End Game On Guns?

by D. Parker, American Thinker:

Leftists keep on lying about their true goals on guns to get everyone to accept the intermediate steps to confiscation.

What is the far left’s end game on guns? Anyone on the pro-freedom right side of the political spectrum has known this answer for years. Gun confiscation has always been the ultimate goal of every collectivist authoritarian down through history since firearms were invented, from the Bolsheviks, and National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party, to the Democrats and every leftist extremist in between.

How Denying Gun Rights Is Working Out in France

from Moonbattery:

Moonbats have dominated France for about a century now, so they have had plenty of time to implement liberal policies that our Democrats have yet to achieve, such as denying law-abiding citizens the fundamental right to bear arms. Let’s see how it’s working out for them, now that other liberal policies have predictably produced a massive underclass that is at war with the core population:

The 2nd Amendment Is the Elephant in the Room

by Wallace Garneau, American Thinker:

Let’s address the elephant in the room.

The 2nd Amendment was written as a compromise between the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists. The Federalists saw England as our nation’s greatest threat (having just fought them in the Revolutionary War, and being about to fight them again in the War of 1812), whereas the Anti-Federalists saw the Federalists as being our nation’s greatest threat. The Federalists wanted a standing Federal Army to fight foreign threats (at the time the British), whereas the Anti-Federalists wanted all military power to rest with the individual states such that the Federal Government would lack the power to infringe upon the rights of the people.

GUN STORES ACROSS THE US ARE BEING RAIDED AND PURCHASE RECORDS ARE BEING SEIZED

In less than 12 hours, tens of millions of Americans will become felons because the ATF doesn’t like a plastic part that helps guns shoot accurately

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.

Gun Control Debate Ignores the Real Problems

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.
