The Second Amendment Is The Foundation Of The Bill Of Rights
Posted by Brian in Law, Opinion, Threat Watch on 26/May/2018 07:00
From The Federalist:
So, why did the founders feel the need to specify the right to bear arms in the constitution? After all, wouldn’t it be just as wrong for the government to take away any other possession? Why add a specific amendment about guns? The answer is that the founders understood the important role guns play in establishing and preserving a free society. They found this out firsthand.
USA Today Refers To Pistols And Shotguns As “Less-lethal”
From Bearing Arms:
The attack at a Texas high school Friday echoed the all-too-familiar horrors Americans are accustomed to seeing on the news. But two details set it apart from the list of other recent deadly attacks: explosives and the less-lethal weapons used.
History Lesson From A Sophomore
Georgia sophomore gives a history lesson on the second amendment.
My generation is full of snowflakes who have been duped into believing that the 2nd amendment should be discarded so here’s a quick history lesson. #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/IIRuCXCCHN

SEAL who killed bin Laden on Gun Control
“Our guns are not out of control. Our children are out of controlâ€, said the former Navy SEAL with more than 400 missions to his credit.
Rob O’Neill took to Twitter to criticize the gun control kids:
Our guns are not out of control. Our children are out of control.

British Paper Lectures on the Second Amendment
From The Guardian:
…those seeking sensible gun regulation – like the 83% of Americans who support a mandatory waiting period for buying a gun and the 67% of Americans who agree with a ban on assault weapons – should not just accept the distortion of the second amendment as fact. Instead, they should loudly respond that gun regulation’s proponents, not the NRA, are the true defenders of the second amendment. In fact, both supreme court case law and the text of the second amendment itself support reasonable regulations on guns. As written, the constitution and the second amendment permit precisely the kind of regulation Congress should enact.
Opinion: VA Lawmaker’s “Offensive” Speech on the Second Amendment
From The Organic Prepper:
You may not have ever heard of Nick Freitas before, but I have a feeling we’ll all be hearing a lot about him soon. At first glance, this may seem very political, very Republican vs. Democrat.
It’s about people who got so upset about historic facts that they had to leave the room instead of engaging in a discussion.
Tactics In The Modern Age
From War on the Rocks:
The historian David Edgerton authored a book entitled The Shock of the Old in which he argues that our society’s collective obsession with rapidly changing technology often blinds us to the older tools and techniques that actually drive most of what we observe around us. We believe this logic can be applied here. The diffusion of 100-year old combat techniques, coupled with readily available technology, may create serious threats that are not currently being considered.
CEO of Dick’s Sports Is A Coward
CEO Ed Stack said that Dick’s Sports will never sell AR15 style rifles again, stop selling “high capacity” magazines and will refuse to sell guns to anyone under 21. The only reason Mr. Stack is doing this is to avoid a backlash/boycott by the anti-gun fascists. He is a coward who is refusing to sell legal guns to adults. This new policy is ageist pure and simple.
From the AP:
“We support and respect the Second Amendment, and we recognize and appreciate that the vast majority of gun owners in this country are responsible, law-abiding citizens,†Stack wrote in a letter Wednesday. “But we have to help solve the problem that’s in front of us. Gun violence is an epidemic that’s taking the lives of too many people, including the brightest hope for the future of America — our kids.â€
Are Age Limits For Guns Constitutional?
From The Washington Examiner:
Some federal courts have dealt with a different firearm age limit, upholding the 21-year-old age requirement for handgun sales by licensed dealers. That rule passed Congress in the Gun Control Act of 1968, long before the AR-15 became one of the nation’s most popular guns, and doesn’t ban young-adult handgun possession.
Michael Connelly, executive director of the U.S. Justice Foundation, a public interest law firm that supports gun-rights advocates, said, “I think an effort to ban people between 18 and 21 from purchasing AR-15s would be vulnerable to a Second Amendment challenge, particularly in light of the current makeup of the Supreme Court.”
NYT: Banks And Credit Cards Should Refuse Gun Sales
From The New York Times:
For the past year, chief executives have often talked about the new sense of moral responsibility that corporations have to help their communities and confront social challenges even when Washington won’t.
What if the finance industry — credit card companies like Visa, Mastercard and American Express; credit card processors like First Data; and banks like JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo — were to effectively set new rules for the sales of guns in America?
It looks like The New York Times is now pro-big business, if that business is big enough to pressure retailers in to doing what the NYT wants. This is more proof that “liberals” are not liberal and that they will do whatever is necessary to get their way. If big government can’t do it then they will pressure big business to do it. If this succeeds it will set a dangerous precedent.
Col. Cooper’s Colors Re-Examined
From BreachBangClear:
In Cooper’s original intent, one could scale from Condition White, in which one is completely unprepared for combat, to Condition Red, in which one is psychologically committed to combat, regardless of whether the fight has actually begun or not. Essentially, he recognized many people must mentally gear up for violence, and his code traced that progression to help the mental switch.
That is not, however, how Cooper’s Colors are generally used in the modern firearms training world.
Dangerous Legislation In The Works
UPDATE: YouTube has pulled the video because it discusses the legislation to ban bump stocks. There are no bump stocks in the video at all but because the topic is not in line with gun controllers at YouTube they shut it down. They are hiding behind their “Terms and Conditions”.
