Today's JPFO Alert calls the very idea of a "mandatory gun buyback" a lie.
If the government wants to "buy" your guns, tell them the price not in dollars, but in blood--and make it higher than they can afford.
And as always, if you haven't seen all the great JPFO Alerts written by David, Nicki, Claire, and Mama Liberty, you owe it to yourself to fix that.

Please give it a look, and tell a friend--and Facebook "likes" and "shares" are hugely appreciated.When millions of Americans, with neither the metalworking and gunsmithing skills to build firearms by hand, or the wealth to buy equipment sufficiently sophisticated (at the prices such equipment commanded until now) to do so through automation, can
nevertheless produce effective fighting arms in the privacy of their homes, "universal background check" laws, "prohibited person" laws, "assault weapon" bans, etc. become meaningless. The gun ban zealots' worst nightmare--uncontrollable, utterly anonymous access to so-called "assault weapons" is upon us, spelling the death of the "government monopoly on force" so beloved of the gun ban jihadis.That's a victory for humanity.

That, however, is clearly not the
Post-Dispatch's argument.Dotson wants to use the power of government to overturn the overwhelmingly popular will of the people. That's kinda dangerous with an armed populace. [More]

Today's JPFO Alert wonders if there is any way to trade in a real clunker of a Honda.
Back in July, Honda introduced H.R. 5344, a bill banning private citizens' purchase of body armor capable of stopping rifle rounds. He wants, in other words, to make gunfire more dangerous, because he believes "public safety" requires that the "authorities" can more easily kill the people. The Violence Policy Center, by the way, is also enthusiastically on board with that bill.
If someone comes up with a practical way of making effective body armor at home, we will undoubtedly see Rep. Honda spring into action again. An aspiring tyrant's work is never done.

The intent here, of course, is not to put the planned Open Carry Walk on the same level as those historical events, but to note that very little of worth is accomplished without both risk and effort.

should be given everything they want, one could easily be forgiven for coming to the conclusion that they believe that "royalty" should be treated as superiors. From that, one cannot help but wonder if they would prefer that we still were under British monarchic rule. [More]

Today's JPFO Alert remarks on anti-gunners' War on Bystanders.
But even CSGV, with their unceasing call for a "government monopoly on force," cannot match the National Gun Victims Action Council (NGVAC) for overwrought, fear mongering rhetoric. Again, in the same Oregon Herald quoted earlier, NGVAC CEO Elliot Fineman argued that private citizens
must be limited by law to firearm technology that makes them miss at least 70% of the time . . .

Today's JPFO Alert notes that domestic "gun control" advocates want us disarmed. So does ISIS. Interesting "friends," eh?
And if Americans were actually so foolish as to allow these attacks to be used to justify yet more oppressive gun laws, in the name of "safety," I would
laugh and laugh, and thank my (unwitting?) allies of "Everytown for Gun Safety," "Americans for Responsible Solutions," the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, the Brady Campaign, etc., . . . and then move in for the kill, which will have just become far easier, thanks to "gun control."

Today's JPFO Alert notes the false "choice" offered by the gun ban jihadists.
That sounds rather a lot like extortion, and is also a false choice. The police work for
us--they are our employees. We bought the armored vehicles from which they point guns at us, and the grenades they throw at our children. We don't have to sacrifice any of our rights to rein them in--we need only muster the will to tell them that if the job of "protecting and serving" a free people without indulging their Rambo fantasies is too scary for them, they'd best find another line of work.

Today's JPFO Alert urges gun rights advocates to remember that our fight for liberty isn't about numbers.
Gun ban zealots try to bolster their arguments with statistics all the time--to the point of coming up with
bogus stats, such as "A gun in the home is 43 times as likely to kill a family member as to be used in self-defense," or that, "Forty percent of gun sales proceed without a background check." They can afford to use numbers (even if they have to make them up), because their agenda is not troubled by collective punishment for individual crimes, or sacrificing the innocent "for the greater good."We, on the other hand, must remain better than that.

Today's JPFO Alert notes that to ostensibly "conservative" David Frum, police state apologist extraordinaire, we the people of a supposedly free country are "the policed."
Actually, I cannot remember seeing any objections to police wearing body armor, and would only harbor such objections myself if efforts to ban possession of body armor by private citizens were to gain ground. More importantly, look at Frum's term for private citizens: "the
policed." To Frum's way of thinking, apparently, that is how we the people are to be defined: as those who are kept in line by the government's hired muscle.

It's because at the Bundy ranch, the government
knew that they would not enjoy a "monopoly on force"--that they would pay for their excesses in blood, more of it than they were willing to lose. The Ferguson cops, on the other hand, clearly like their overwhelming edge in firepower. That's your "government monopoly on force," CSGV. Own it. [More]
Today's JPFO Alert notes that although the people behind Kodiak Arms' "Intelligun" appear to have vastly more honorable intentions than other "smart gun" technology manufacturers, they're still making some very disturbing wrong choices.
And
why is Gentry, with his vow that his technology will not be used to restrict freedom, more willing to trust the government's hired muscle with guns whose default setting is to fire every time the trigger is pulled, with or without batteries, than he is to trust private citizens with that same vital feature? Why are they the "Only Ones" worthy of that trust?Gentry is clearly far better for American gun owners than the people behind Armatix, but that's still not good enough.

For all my criticism of the NRA, sometimes they really do stand up tall on the right side of an issue. Unfortunately, they tend to be easily talked into pretending they never did. The Mississippi Rebel explains:
The NRA quietly deleted a video discussing gun rights for the blind from its website after facing ridicule from the liberal media.
The video pointed out that the blind should be able to exercise their Second Amendment rights just like everyone else. In it, NRA commentator Dom Raso said: “Every law-abiding blind individual should be able to have whatever guns they want. And if you disagree with that statement or you haven’t thought it all the way through, you don’t take your rights seriously enough.”
The Rebel has more to say on the subject--go see.

more cops, and c) that the police have access to records of private purchases of things he doesn't think private citizens should own; it seems unlikely that he would insist that this "encouragement" be particularly gentle.One should probably not hold one's breath waiting for him to explain what to do when the mass shooter with a rifle is
himself an "Only One." [More]
Today's JPFO Alert is a reminder that as a fundamental human right, armed self-defense is for everyone, and everyone who fights for it deserves our support and respect.
But it is
they, the "progressives," who hope to keep these most vulnerable members of society disarmed and defenseless. It is they who claim that the best protection for such people is "hate crime" laws, making it "more illegaller" to commit heinous violence against someone if the assailant was motivated by hate for a group his victim is a part of, rather than anything about the victim himself.Tom Palmer is fighting for
everyone's Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms. That makes him a far better man than any who oppose his efforts.
