Guns Are Necessary To Protect Minority Speech
From Bearing Arms:
Intolerant views are common; everyone has them in one form or another, for one class of people or another. What’s completely unacceptable is when intolerance views morph into aggressive actions.
If you think of the performance as speech, it’s clear that the presence of guns allows that speech to happen. Those who don’t like it can “change the channel” and ignore it; no one is forcing you to whip yourself into an outraged frenzy by attending and watching the show.
FBI Targeting Christians
From The Federalist:
The arrest warrant shows Houck accused of “attacking a patient escort” at a Planned Parenthood facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act, a federal law used to restrict the actions of pro-life protesters and counselors in front of abortion facilities. Mark, who also runs a men’s ministry devoted in part to rescuing men from pornography addictions, made a habit of driving two hours to Philadelphia every week to spend his Wednesdays speaking and counseling in front of the Planned Parenthood – Elizabeth Blackwell Health Center.
FPC Defends Third Grader’s “Come and take it” Hat
From Bearing Arms:
According to a press release, last week the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced their support of a lawsuit against several school officials. According to the FPC, a third-grader’s First and Fourteenth Amendment rights were violated when she was not allowed to wear her “Come and Take It” hat during their annual hat day.
San Jose Wants To Crackdown On Foreign Money In Elections But OKs Illegal Immigrants To Vote
From Bearing Arms:
On Tuesday afternoon the San Jose City Council voted 9-1 — with Councilmember Dev Davis dissenting and Councilmember Maya Esparza absent — to bring back a proposed law that would require corporations to certify they aren’t influenced by foreign interests before making contributions to campaigns or independent expenditure committees.
Oppose the Surveillance of the EARN IT Act
From EFF:
While Apple’s plan would have put the privacy and security of its users at risk, the EARN IT Act compromises security and free speech for everyone. The bill would create serious legal risk for business that hosts content—messages, photos stored in the cloud, online backups—and, potentially, even cloud-hosting sites like those using Amazon Web Services, unless they use government-approved scanning tools.
ACLU Doesn’t Support All Civil Rights
From The Truth About Guns:
“Many of the [gun control] options now being considered raise no civil liberties concerns. That includes bans on assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and bump stocks. Raising the minimum age for all gun ownership to 21, currently the legal age for purchasing a handgun, also raises no civil liberties issues, as research on brain development shows that young people’s impulse control differs from that of adults,†the group states.
Denver Law Criminalizes Everyday Objects, Not Just Homemade Guns
From Bearing Arms:
“The pieces of the legislation that weren’t talked about were the pieces about reorganizing the code, the weapons code…basically criminalizing youth a little bit more.†CdeBaca said. “I think this emerged from the protests. People had umbrellas or they had their airsoft guns or they had other things to protect themselves from the pepper spray that was being deployed by the police officers, and now that bill made all of that a crime.â€
Censoring The Second Amendment
From America’s First Freedom:
Biden’s Surgeon General Vivek Murthy did recently issue an advisory calling for a “whole-of-society†effort to combat the “urgent threat to public health†posed by “health misinformation.†He was referring to COVID-19, but this same administration is
also fond of claiming that guns are a “public-health crisis.†Also, many anti-Second Amendment politicians closed gun stores during the beginning of the pandemic. Could they then work with Big Tech to further censor pro-Second Amendment content as part of “public-health†policy?“We don’t take anything down. We don’t block anything,†said Psaki when Fox News’ White House correspondent Peter Doocy pushed for answers. Rather, she said, the administration is merely “flagging problematic posts†and suggesting “additional steps†that Facebook and other social-media companies should take.
Congress Investigating FBI Raid of Project Veritas
From Fox News:
Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and James Comer, R-K.Y., joined Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., on Thursday in demanding information from the Justice Department (DOJ) regarding the recent raids of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe‘s residence and those of his associates.
The Political Prisoners of the Biden Administration
From American Gulag:
Jan. 6 protester John Steven Anderson died last week while waiting trial on trumped-up charges by the Biden DOJ against him for protesting at the US Capitol in January.
John Anderson was accused by the government of assaulting police after he was sprayed with pepper spray, couldn’t breathe, and actually asked the police for assistance who then helped him to safety. He was surrounded by police the entire time and yet was later charged with assaulting police. It was all made up.
Anderson died last week awaiting trial.
Delaware Wants To Ban Speech Of Gun Owners
From En Bloc Press:
The 151st Delaware General Assembly passed House Bill 125 on Tuesday. HB125 seeks to ban 3D printed firearms and other “untraceable†guns. Alarmingly, HB125 also makes it illegal to share instructions in the form of computer aided design models over the internet. This prohibition effectively eliminates the free speech rights of gun enthusiasts seeking to share or view the computer code of such designs.
FiveThirtyEight Hypes Threat Of Militias
From FiveThirtyEight:
“There is no private militia that is lawful. Period. Full stop,†said McCord, whose group at Georgetown has identified laws on the books in every state that prohibit some or all private militia activity. But these laws often go unenforced, and that’s partly because in practice, it’s not always obvious what crosses a line. A law in Virginia, for example, bans weapons training but only if that training is intended to be used in “a civil disorder.â€
Washington To Ban Firearms At Protests And State Capitol
From Crosscut:
Over opposition from Republicans and gun-rights activists, both houses of the Legislature have passed a ban on weapons within 250 feet of protests or on the Capitol campus in Olympia. Backers say empowering police to remove or arrest armed onlookers addresses widespread complaints from demonstrators and reduces a bona fide safety risk.
After a year of protests in Portland and Seattle about police brutality and defunding the police Washington State now wants to give the police more power? The entire Northwest is schizophrenic. They don’t know what they want.
Journalist Banned From Owning A Firearm With No Criminal Record
From Laura Loomer:
While I have NEVER been convicted of a felony, domestic violence, and I’ve never been adjudicated mentally unfit by a judge, my name was placed in the Federal National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) and I have been prohibited from ever owning or even touching a firearm.
