Open Letter to President Trump on Military Base Victim Disarmament

Shared via email by WarOnGuns Correspondent CDT : Dear President Trump: This past Thursday, there was a spree shooting at Fort Stewart, exacerbated by the fact that none of the servicemen in a position to control the shooter were armed. I won't waste any language further describing the attack, I'm confident you're aware of it. There have been seven other spree shootings with this same profile since 2009, all made possible by President Clinton's ban on soldiers carrying arms inside military bases (DOD Directive 5210.56). There is no place in the USA for victim disarmament policies, but *especially* not on military bases. Back in 2015, you volunteered this pledge to Fredy Riehl of AmmoLand.com: "As Commander-in-Chief, I would mandate that soldiers remain armed and on alert at our military bases. President Clinton never should have passed a ban on soldiers being able to protect themselves on bases. America’s Armed Forces will be armed. They will be able to defend the...

What's in a Title?

  I asked Google AI: 1.  Why is the Executive Vice President of NRA also called the CEO? The position of Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association (NRA) holds a unique dual role within the organization's structure, effectively encompassing the responsibilities of a Chief Executive Officer (CEO).  Here's why: Historical Evolution: While initially focused on marksmanship and training, the NRA shifted towards a stronger political focus in the 1970s. This change in direction brought with it an increased emphasis on leadership and a more prominent public face for the organization. Combined Responsibilities: The individual holding the title of Executive Vice President has traditionally been responsible for the day-to-day operations and administration of the NRA, making them the functional equivalent of a CEO. This combines the executive and administrative duties of managing a large organization with the public-facing role of a vice...

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

  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...
