What Would A Modern American Citizen Militia Look Like?
From Speculative Future Gun Culture:
As a dissident, I think that the idea of a re-established American militia deserves study, especially given the present seemingly unstoppable state of decay in the national government and its infrastructure and capabilities. Therefore, I have done a short, very casual study of what a futuristic American militia growing out of a recognizably-modern society might look like from the perspective of force size. To be clear, I am thinking of a grassroots / general service national militia, not the much-maligned voluntary associations of private citizens which sometimes represent themselves as being elements of the Unorganized Militia.
Christian Ethics On Self Defense
From American Greatness:
Ultimately, Zmirak’s goal in No Second Amendment, No First is “to show that the Christian view of the person, correctly understood, demands broad rights of self-defense for ordinary citizens—against both illegal violence and the prospect of tyrannical governments.”
Zmirak warns that we need to fight back against “impatient innovators [who] kick aside the tenets of Natural Law, Christian morality, the dignity of man, and the rights of the individual.”
Citizens Sue State Fair of Texas With Texas AG
From The Truth About Guns:
On October 29, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and three fairgoers challenged the policy with an updated lawsuit against the State Fair of Texas and the city of Dallas. New plaintiffs Maxx Juusola, Tracy Martin and Alan Crider joined the lawsuit, State of Texas v. City of Dallas, claiming the ban violated a state law that restricts most government bodies from prohibiting weapons on their properties.
The Importance Of Armed and Organized Citizens
From Ammoland:
In fact, militias were used as late as the War with Spain in Cuba and the Philippines. Roosevelt’s Rough Riders were a volunteer militia that was formed in part by Theodore Roosevelt. A standing army had been around for many years; however, militias were still very important to the security of the United States.
Gunman Stops Vehicular Homicide
From The Truth About Guns:
According to the San Antonio Police Department’s (SAPD) preliminary investigation, the so-called victim was reportedly causing a disturbance in the parking lot of an after-hours club, with witnesses saying he threatened to shoot others and attempted to run over people with his vehicle. In response, a man, described as being in his early 30s, pulled out a firearm and shot the man in the car in self-defense and defense of others—both legal defensive claims in the state of Texas.
Why You Should Be Armed When You Vote
From Bearing Arms:
An Afghan national allowed into the US shortly after the Harris-Biden administration’s chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan was charged Tuesday with plotting an ISIS-inspired Election Day terror attack.
Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, was living in Oklahoma City on a Special Immigrant Visa as he took steps to stockpile AK-47 rifles and ammunition to carry out an attack on US soil “in the name of ISIS,” according to the Justice Department.
Florida City Council Members May Have To Pay Fines For Enacting Gun Restrictions
From Ammoland:
The five-member Okeechobee, Florida city council and Police Chief Donald Hagan may each be forced to pay $5,000 personally – without using taxpayer dollars – for violating Florida’s powerful preemption statute, which only allows the state legislature to regulate firearms.
As previously reported, the city adopted an illegal ordinance shortly before Hurricane Helene made landfall, which banned the sale of guns and ammunition and prohibited firearm possession in public by anyone other than law enforcement or members of the military.
Florida Will Soon Have Open Carry
From Ammoland:
GOA and Hughes sued State Attorney Thomas Bakkedahl and St Lucie County Sherriff Keith Pearson over the state’s ban on the open carrying of firearms. Florida law bans the practice unless the carrier is engaged in the act of hunting or fishing. All other citizens open carrying a firearm are subject to arrest. Florida is one of the only states in the country not to allow the open carrying of guns. The plaintiffs in the case believe the law is unconstitutional and violates the Second Amendment.
TX AG Paxton Sues Dallas Over State Fair Gun Ban
From Bearing Arms:
With the fair set to kick off in less than a month, Paxton followed through on his threat on Thursday by suing the city and the state fair in district court. Paxton is asking the court to block the ban through both temporary and permanent injunctions, arguing that while While some portions of Fair Park are “gun-free zones” as established by state statute, the “vast majority of the 277-acre Fair Park in Dallas is not a place where weapons or firearms are prohibited.”
If the fair moves forward with its carry ban, Paxton says lawful gun owners are either subject to arrest, or are going to be forced to comply with an unlawful rule in order to enter the fair.
The Importance Of Valuing Life
From Open Source Defense:
Guns are valuable because they’re good for self-defense. Self-defense is good because life is valuable, and protecting life is a wonderful thing. But if you have to protect life by taking life, that’s something to be solemnly accepted, not celebrated.
Hunters Now Blamed For “Gun Violence”
From The Truth About Guns:
In what may be the most poorly conceived and horribly researched study ever published by The Journal of the American Medical Association during its entire 141-year history, a trio of anti-gun researchers now claims deer hunting is associated with a substantial increase in firearm violence.
Beware Of An Anti-Gunner Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing
From The Federalist:
As to Walz advocating for states to stop recognizing concealed handgun permits from other states (reciprocity), with more than 22 million concealed handgun permit holders nationwide, there are decades of data on the behavior of permit holders. Some states have particularly detailed data. In Florida and Texas, permit holders are convicted of firearms-related violations at one-twelfth the rate at which police officers are. And police are convicted at just one-twentieth of the rate for the general population. There is no evidence that any permit holder from another state has committed a gun crime in Minnesota.
Gun Owners Need To Register To Vote
From Ammoland:
The Arbalest Quarrel looked into the failure of millions of gun owners to register to vote. We learned that Ten Million American gun owners have not registered to vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. This is no small number and can have a decisive impact on the outcome of Federal Elections.
Make Sure Your Gun Owning Friends Are Registered To Vote
This is surprising, shocking, and altogether unacceptable. Voting is a Sacred Right and a tremendously important responsibility. The Arbalest Quarrel looked into the failure of millions of gun owners to register to vote. We learned that Ten Million American gun owners have not registered to vote in the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. This is no small number and can have a decisive impact on the outcome of Federal Elections.
