New Mexico Lawmakers Call For Governor’s Impeachment Over 2A Overreach

from ZeroHedge:

Update (1848ET):

New Mexico State Representatives Stefani Lord (R-22) and John Block (R-51) called for the impeaching of Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) after she issued a public health emergency to strip the right away for law-abiding citizens to carry firearms in public in and around Albuquerque, the state’s largest city.

“This is an abhorrent attempt at imposing a radical, progressive agenda on an unwilling populous. Rather than addressing crime at its core, Governor Grisham is restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners,” Lord wrote in a press release shared on X.

New Polling Shows a Majority of American Households Own Guns and Support Gun Rights

by Jonathan Turley, Jonathan Turley:

There are new polls out of Harvard and NBC that show surprising results on gun ownership and rights. According to NBC, a majority (52%) now say that they or someone in their household owns a gun. Most notably, the Harvard poll shows that six in ten voters believe owning a gun is a necessary part of protecting themselves from criminals.

Despite the strong anti-gun rights message from the White House and the media, the public seems to be moving significantly in the opposite direction.

The 10 Mass Shootings Since Lewiston You Didn’t Hear About

by Matt Margolis, PJ Media:

Most news articles about the animal in Lewiston, Maine, who shot 31 people, killing 18, focus specifically on the shooter’s skin color and “AR-15 style” rifle. The media seem to have missed the ten mass shootings that have taken place in the three and a half days since the Maine massacre.

3D-Printed Gun Components – Part 3

Printable Frames and Receivers

These projects generally use a 3D-printed frame or receiver, which is combined with firearm parts to create a finished firearm. Some of these designs can fire over 1,000 rounds without the frame or receiver failing. Projects in this category include a variety of AR-15 lower receivers, such as the UBAR2 and the Hoffman Tactical SL-15, a vast array of Glock frames, like the FMDA DD19.2,  Ruger 10-22 receivers,  and a variety of MAC11/9 lower receivers. There are also projects based on Smith & Wesson M&P pistols, Ruger pistols, Beretta pistols, CETME rifles, the Kalashnikov (“AK-47”), and much, much more.

…is that a reason to prohibit everyone from having it?” – Ian McCollum

DOJ Backs Warrantless Invasion Of Gun Owners’ Homes

by Matt Agorist, The Free Thought Project:

(Zero Hedge) The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi is advancing an argument that threatens to hollow out the Fourth Amendment’s core protection: that Americans may be secure in their homes against warrantless searches.

The lawsuit is Case v. Montana. After a difficult breakup, William Trevor Case was at home alone when police arrived for a so-called “welfare check.” They spent nearly an hour outside his house. Officers walked around the property, shined flashlights through windows, and even discussed calling his relatives or reaching him directly. They never did. Instead, they retrieved rifles and a ballistic shield, broke down his door without a warrant, and shot him.

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.

Celebrating the Hunter Biden Gun Conviction Legitimizes an Illegitimate System

by Philip Giraldi, The Unz Review:

Sometimes, when I think something is really stupid, I just write a joke article, basically assuming the reader is inside my head and understands why I think the thing is stupid. I did that yesterday with the Hunter Biden gun crime conviction.

Probably, my thoughts on this should be elaborated, and I should explain why I think this is so retarded, and why I am so disgusted by Republicans celebrating it as some kind of victory.

Firstly, I want to say that not everyone is celebrating this. There is a lot of gibberish on Fox News and the standard “Jewish conservative” websites like Breitbart.

People Outraged After California Democrat Introduces Bill that Criminalizes Self-Defense – AB 1333 Limits Homeowner’s Right to Defend Self, Family and Home From Intruder

by Cristina Laila, The Gateway Pundit:

California is currently a ‘stand your ground’ state, however, a Democrat Assemblyman just introduced a bill that would criminalize self-defense.

California Assemblyman and Democrat Caucus Chair Rich Chavez Zbur introduced AB 1333 which seeks to limit a homeowner’s right to defend their family and home from an intruder.

This Democrat lunatic wants to limit a homeowner’s right to defend themselves from a dangerous intruder.

More than anything else, this is an attack on the Second Amendment.

USAID, DoS, CIA Begin Structured Color Revolution on Russia’s Border in Georgia

from The Conservative Treehouse:

You may have heard of the protests in Tbilisi, Georgia recently. The protests are framed around what the State Dept and CIA call “Russian favored” legislation.

The Georgia legislation essentially says that domestic lobbyists, NGO’s, entities, groups and individuals who are funded more than 20% by foreign interests need to register as such.

Essentially, the USA law we call the Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), is what the country of Georgia is enacting in their own political landscape.  However, the USA is not happy about the Georgia law to disclose the source of foreign funding (most of it anti-government) because the USA (specifically the State Dept and CIA) is the source of that funding.
