At Least 76 Americans Still In Afghanistan

From National Review:

 The U.S. State Department announced that since Thursday, it has been contacted by another 76 American citizens in Afghanistan, of whom 20 want to leave the country; families of more than two dozen American hostages held abroad write a letter questioning President Biden’s commitment to bringing their loved ones home; and a useful perspective on just what kind of “extremism” worries Joe Biden.

U.S. Embassy Refused Calls For Help In South Sudan

From NBC:

They shot dead a local journalist while forcing the foreigners to watch, raped several foreign women, singled out Americans, beat and robbed people and carried out mock executions, several witnesses told The Associated Press.

For hours throughout the assault, the U.N. peacekeeping force stationed less than a mile away refused to respond to desperate calls for help. Neither did embassies, including the U.S. Embassy.

American Expats Fight For Their Rights

The Second Amendment Foundation is suing the Attorney General on behalf of Americans living abroad who, under federal law, are not able to purchase firearms when in the country.

Press release:

The Second Amendment Foundation’s challenge to a federal law that prevents American citizens who reside outside the United States from purchasing firearms while they are in this country will be allowed to move forward, under a ruling today by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia.

“This is a significant ruling in our favor,” said SAF Executive Vice President Alan Gottlieb. “Many American citizens face the same dilemma as Mr. Dearth. They are good citizens, they’ve committed no crimes, and they would certainly be allowed to exercise their Second Amendment rights, except for the fact that they live in another country.”

When a person wants to buy a firearm they must fill out federal form 4473 which asks for a state of residence. Expats have no state residence.
