Illinois Residents Refuse To Register Guns
From Bearing Arms:
There’s just a little more than a month left before Illinois gun owners must register their so-called assault weapons with the state police or risk the possibility of criminal charges if they’re caught with their modern sporting rifle, and so far it looks like many gun owners are willing to run that risk. As of November 21st, fewer than 3,500 gun owners have registered some 6,600 newly banned firearms with the state police; about 0.001 percent of the state’s 2.4 million legal gun owners.
NY Ranks Dead Last In Freedom Index
From Cato Institute:
When it comes to the bottom states, we see that the Empire State has consistently placed last. The difference between the scores for New York and New Hampshire corresponds to one and a half standard deviations on every single variable. New York also performs poorly across the board, but especially on economic freedom. Thus, New Yorkers feel the heavy hand of government in every area of their lives.
Republic of China (Taiwan) Using Airsoft To Prepare For Invasion By Communists
From Unreported World (BBC):
The Drug War Is Hurting Gun Rights
From Bearing Arms:
If Hunter Biden wasn’t nervous about going to prison before, he should be after learning what happened to Deja Taylor in a federal courtroom in Virginia on Wednesday. The 26-year-old was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison for being an unlawful user of drugs in possession of a firearm; one of the very charges that Biden himself is facing after purchasing a gun at a time when he’s admitted to smoking crack cocaine “every fifteen minutes.”
AP Produces 5 Part Anti Gun Series
From The Associated Press:
American identity is deeply grounded in the belief that everyone, no matter who they are, is entitled to certain rights and liberties. But what happens when one of those freedoms – a nearly unfettered right to own guns – upends the calculus that safeguards others?
Gun Banners Have An Emotional Hatred of Freedom
From Bearing Arms:
The real fetishization is with banning guns, not owning them. Rifles are used in just a small fraction of violent crimes, and less than half of all active shooting incidents, yet an “assault weapons” ban remains the Unholy Grail of the gun control lobby. We know that banning drugs hasn’t eradicated overdose deaths any more than banning alcohol a century ago ended drinking. Handgun bans in Washington, D.C. and Chicago failed to reduce violent crime, and in fact homicide and violent crime in general are lower in those cities now than when their bans were in effect. So why are anti-gunners like Bouie and Hogg so adamantly convinced that it’ll somehow be different if we ban so-called assault weapons?
Anti Gunners Don’t Know The Difference Between Mandates and Liberty
From Bearing Arms:
The author of this piece claims these stores are hurting the Second Amendment cause. What the author and most anti-gunners don’t get is that everything went out the window the moment stuff started being mandated.
At that point, you’re telling stores what they must do, even as many would probably do so voluntarily otherwise.
Freedom matters and the moment you start off by trying to take away that freedom, you suddenly have a lot of pushback you wouldn’t have had otherwise.
Gun Control Is Dead Thanks To 3-D Printing
From Bearing Arms:
I’ve long argued that 3D-printed guns represent the death of gun control. After all, if the purpose of gun control is to keep firearms out of the hands of certain people–be that just criminals or, in time, everyone–the existence of 3d printers and the files one would use to make firearms means you’ll never accomplish that goal.
Anyone who wants a gun can get a gun and there’s absolutely nothing anyone can do to stop it.
Victory in Europe Only Freed Half The Continent
From The Federalist:
This May 8, we celebrate V-E Day, Victory in Europe Day, marking the Third Reich’s unconditional surrender to Allied forces. Though this day commemorates a triumph over one of the evilest regimes in history, we owe it to the people of Eastern Europe to remember that the end of Hitler’s Germany didn’t bring the end of their sorrows: The West was freed from Nazi tyranny, but the East faced another half-century of communist slavery under the Soviet boot.
Culture Promotes Freedom, Not Laws Or Judges
From Open Source Defense:
It’s easy to point to moments where the Supreme Court spectacularly discarded people’s rights — Plessy v. Ferguson, Buck v. Bell, Wickard v. Filburn, Korematsu v. U.S., etc. etc. — as the thing that allowed a terrible chain of events. But did they allow the events, or were they caused by those same events? In the case of, say, Korematsu, you had a country that was willing to force everyone on the west coast with Japanese ancestry into camps. Would that country have been stopped by a Supreme Court that in the midst of it all piped up to say, “Hey everyone, you can’t imprison people for being Japanese, ok?” And more to the point, would such an environment produce a Supreme Court that would say that?
Protecting Freedom Requires Vigilance
From Ammoland:
The problem with freedom is that it requires constant guarding. If we practice Freedom with abandon and freely choose pleasant comfortable activities other than guarding freedom, it can easily be taken away from us as we watch.
Almost Half of Seattle Police Could Be Fired Over Vax Mandate
From NY Post:
The city is poised to fire as many as 403 officers, about 40 percent of the 1,000-person force, for failing to take the COVID-19 jab by an Oct. 18 deadline, according to local reports.
“The environment has been pretty toxic and negative,†an unnamed officer told Fox 13 News. “Not just from this whole mandate, but prior to that as well. I’m not sure this would be a good place for me to work long-term for my mental health. It has been very stressful.â€
Australian Government Tells Unvaccinated They Will Lose Their Rights
From The Blaze:
Government leaders in the state of New South Wales — where the bureaucracy just a month ago announced that it was giving vaccinated citizens a “reward” of one extra hour outside their homes for recreation time — announced during a Monday press briefing that unvaccinated folks “will lose their freedoms” in October, Sky News reported.
Australia Is What Happens When Citizens Are Disarmed
From The Federalist:
Since the outset of the COVID-19 lockdowns, Australia has instituted some of the strictest lockdown measures in the western world. Once viewed as a free, prosperous society, the nation has slowly devolved into a full-fledged police state. with the federal government even going as far as to prohibit citizens from leaving the country.
