FBI Director Unintentionally Gives Reason For Citizens To Be Armed

From Ammoland:

No doubt unintentionally, FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday provided the greatest justification for the Second Amendment when he testified before the Senate Homeland Security Committee that “the ongoing war in the Middle East has raised the threat of an attack against Americans in the United States to a whole other level.”

According to Fox News, Wray told the committee, “We also cannot and do not discount the possibility that Hamas or another foreign terrorist organization may exploit the current conflict to conduct attacks here on our own soil.”

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?

How To Give Good Advice As A “Gun Person”

From The Truth About Guns:

If you should find yourself in a position where people are coming to you for “gun advice,” that can be an ego boost. You’ve been a gun person your whole life and now your neighbor Jim has come to you wanting to know which gun he should buy to protect his family. 

The first thing you should do before you offer any advice is to take a deep breath, park your ego, and ask a few of questions to the person seeking your counsel.

Confiscation Is Their Goal

From Bearing Arms:

While Joe Biden repeated his demand for Congress to pass a ban on so-called assault weapons on Thursday morning in response to the mass murder of 18 people in Lewiston, Maine, Vice President (and head of the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention) Kamala Harris upped the ante in a speech on Thursday afternoon at a luncheon for Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, where she lavished praise on Australia’s compensated confiscation, launched in 1997 after an active shooter attack in Port Arthur, Tasmania.

The Marxist Goal Is To Ban Civilian Arms

From Ammoland:

What Mao meant was only the Communist Party should be allowed to have guns. For a Marxist revolution to succeed, the people must be disarmed.  The left in the United States has long pushed for the disarmament of the population. Recently, the left has primarily pushed for the banning of those arms that are commonly available and most suitable for militia use.

Armed Citizens Are Guardians Of Society

From Ammoland:

We will show how criminologists have been wearing ideological blinders that kept them from recognizing the benefits of armed civilians. We will cite research that shows Americans who own firearms do indeed protect their neighbors from criminal violence, and therefore, they should be seen as guardians. Using the logic developed by the criminologists, who believe that only unarmed guardians are beneficial to society, we will show that American firearm owners qualify as “guardians” just as much as, if not more than, unarmed civilians.

A Primer On Body Armor

From Ammoland:

Body armor had become as essential as food and water. It wasn’t just for the military or law enforcement anymore. Civilians like John had recognized its importance, especially after the Boston Marathon bombing, the Las Vegas shooting, and the countless other incidents that had shaken the nation to its core.

Israel and Ukraine Prove The Necessity Of Armed Citizens

From Times of Israel:

Gun control in Israel is relatively strict, and firearm licenses are generally only granted to those who can show a need for extra security in their line of work or daily life. Meaning, one of the key criteria for a private citizen to receive permission to own a gun is where they live.

That could now change, says Rabbi Raz Blizovsky, 32, of Katzrin, an activist who has been part of grassroots discussions around personal arms.

“People are changing their opinion, and now there is more awareness,” he told The Times of Israel. It doesn’t make sense, he said, that someone in Tel Aviv cannot get a pistol, but someone in the Golan can. “There are terror attacks in both places,” he stressed.

A Citizen’s Duty Is To Be Vigilant and Prepared

From Ammoland:

The MOSSAD, the Israeli Institute for Intelligence and Special Operations (aka ISIS.. weird, right?), warned New York, Michigan, and Florida to prepare for coming terrorist violence.

“We again ask for Jews around the world to be careful. This warning extends to western nations: England, Canada (Toronto), Germany, France, USA (NY. MI. FL.)” the intelligence organization wrote in a tweet. “Keep your cellphone handy and your eyes open.”

NM Governor Continues Her Tyrannical Assault On Bill of Rights

From Bearing Arms:

In defiance of the law and the Constitution, Grisham recently revised her public health order prohibiting firearms in parks, playgrounds and other public places where children go in Albuquerque. The governor also added a provision that tasks the state Department of Public Safety with organizing safe surrender events — also known as gun buybacks — in Albuquerque, Española and Las Cruces within a month. According to Maddy Hayden, a spokeswoman for the governor, the renewed order will remain in effect until Nov. 3.

As an additional slap in the face to New Mexicans, Grisham said, “We’re not letting up, and I’m continuing to make investments that drive down violence in our communities and protect our children.”

Armed Self Defense Is A Human Right

From Bearing Arms:

The terror attacks in Israel are going to be flooding, and really already have, the pages of Bearing Arms, as well as every other news outlet in the U.S. Ignoring foreign policy, ignoring the who, what, where, when, HOW, and why…there’s one singular thing that all of this should be teaching the people of the Union – and world at large; the Second Amendment is important.
