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

Image
   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, you’ve been nominated for the NRA National Patriot’s Medal

Image
  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. And your name has been submitted in recognition of your courage, your conviction, and your lifetime of service to the Second Amendment. Let me be clear.

ATF's "New Era of Reform" - What Does it Mean?

Image
      May 27, 2025 News from Reeves & Dola, LLP Last week in an optimistic press release, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives ("ATF") announced it is launching a " New Era of Reform ," a new chapter the agency promises will be marked by "transparency, accountability, and partnership with the firearms industry." Aiming to rebuild trust with federal firearms licensees, gun owners, and the public, and distinguishing this new era from the "ATF of the last four years," the press release states that ATF has already taken several "steps" under new leadership, including: Ending the Enhanced Regulatory Enforcement Policy that had targeted firearms dealers. Publishing a new  Administrative Action Policy  that emphasizes firearm traceability and public safety and deemphasizes immaterial paperwork errors. Encouraging any federal firearms licensees that had their licenses revoked or surrendered under the Enhanced Regulatory E...

In Common Use Test

 Received via email: David, I'm a long time reader of your work, which is among the best out there on the subject. I know you get a lot of email so I will try to keep this brief. I wanted to throw in my two cents on the 'in common use' test, since you speak of it frequently. I also follow Mark W. Smith quite closely, and my view on the topic is basically a restatement of what he says. Let me say, first, that I agree 1,000% with what you say about how this will be used against us. That being said, I think it is a fantastic test, if used as intended. All one has to do is look at the lower courts, though, to see how they will twist any test beyond recognition to achieve their goals. Like they say it's not the gun, it's the criminal, and it's not the test, it's the courts/grabbers. So, SCOTUS laid down the text first, then historical tradition*** approach, as laid out in Heller and affirmed in Bruen. Is it a ban or restriction? The plain text of the 2A is implic...

What is the National Rifle Association?

 Received via email:  To: ​ Hamlin, Douglas ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mon 4/21/2025 8:51 AM To the National Rifle Association, What is the National Rifle Association? I've heard countless times it's "America's oldest civil rights group". Is that so? I've also heard it's a non profit corporation. It's definitely not making a profit now. I've been told, it's membership is 4million, 5mllion, even 6million members. Or is it less than 3million? The NRA was once a $300 to $400million non profit corporation. What do the books say now? Is the board even allowed to see the books? Or do they have the courage to ask? The most recent numbers I could find were revenues being about $176million, while expenditures were about $209million.

Just last year the NRA lost 14% o...
