Raising Rifle-Buying Age to 21 Would Disarm American Heroes and Spit on Founding Intent

Image
  March 2, 2018 Too young at the time of his legendary heroics to be trusted with a rifle? (U. S. Army publicity photo) The latest citizen disarmament plot currently being hatched will raise the minimum age for rifle purchases to 21. While some are specifically calling out semi-automatic rifles, others want it all. Such plans are  gaining traction at the state and federal level by no shortage of Democrat opportunists and “bipartisan” Republican panderers, including  Sen. Marco Rubio  and  President Donald Trump . An interesting article over at Firearms News notes  Audie Murphy would have been deemed “too young”  to be trusted with a rifle at the time his legendary heroics earned him recognition as the most decorated combat soldier of WWII.  It goes on to imagine a gun store clerk telling not just him, but “our young combat heroes, veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, who may have lost limbs and fought for our freedom, that they have no Second Amendme...

SBRs, SBS, & Suppressors - Only Change = No Tax After Jan 1, 2026

 Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Scott J : All, Below is some information I gathered that I hope will clarify the history and  final official status of  SBRs, SBSs, and suppressors  in the “One Big Beautiful Bill”. (For a quick read: You can read only the highlights portions.) (For an even quicker read: Just read this "Super Short Summary".) Super Short Summary: Nothing changed except that, after January 1, 2026, you won't be required to pay any tax to make or transfer SBRs, SBS, and Suppressors. SBR = Short-Barreled Rifle SBS = Short-Barreled Shotgun Suppressor = Sometimes referred to as a "silencer" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Reconciliation Bill Passes Making Tax Stamps for SBRs, SBS, and Suppressors $0" Ammoland Inc.

Red-Green Axis Spells Out Danger Threatening to Destroy the Republic

Image
   by David Codrea  ,   August 24, 2015 The whole point behind consent of the governed is, ultimately, “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.” That’s not what those who are betraying their country are doing. I just finished “ The Red-Green Axis: Refugees, Immigration and the Agenda to Erase America .” by investigative reporter James Simpson. The monograph, published by the Center for Security Policy, warns how the intentional “fundamental transformation of America” with Third World immigrants and refugees – many of whom are “resettled” unvetted and later proven to harbor terrorist intentions —  is a form of assisted national suicide—one that we the people are forced by our “leaders” to pay for. It’s a short read, easily doable within a couple hours. That’s why it surprises me to struggle with what to emphasize in this overview – no doubt because Simpson covers so much ground and packs it so densely with information necessar...

Prior Supreme Court View Took Right of Citizens to Carry Arms across State Lines for Granted

   October 25, 2017 If the Supreme Court had acknowledged Dred Scott to be a citizen, they would have had to acknowledge his right “to keep and carry arms wherever [he] went.” (Dred Scott. Oil on canvas by Louis Schultze, 1888. Acc. # 1897.9.1. Missouri Historical Society Museum Collections. Photograph by David Schultz, 1999. NS 23864. Photograph and scan (c) 1999-2006, Missouri Historical Society.) AmmoLand posted  an article of mine  on Tuesday offering a rebuttal to Neil H. Buchanan, a “professor of law” at The George Washington University who claims: “[T]he Second Amendment is simply not relevant to the US gun debate. None of the proposals to limit gun purchases, to limit (or even ban) carrying weapons in public, to require background checks, to forbid gun ownership by domestic abusers, to limit magazine capacities, or any other proposal on the horizon even comes close to bumping up against the Second Amendment.” In exposing all the kinds of misinformation Prof. ...

  David, Congratulations! Your name has been submitted to the NRA Honors Committee for membership in the Golden Eagles and to receive one of our highest honors: The NRA National Patriot’s Medal. This prestigious award – originally commissioned to recognize Charlton Heston’s unwavering leadership during his time as NRA President – is reserved only for the most devoted defenders of American freedom.
