'Sanctuary cities' artificially inflate 'gun control' advocates' political power

And of course that greater electoral power can be (and no doubt is) used to advance aspects of the "progressive" agenda other than "gun control"--including large scale amnesty, and the attendant addition of 8 million or more anti-gun voters to the electorate.

To be a "single issue" gun rights advocate is to defend against only the direct attacks, while ignoring the more subtle ones. The forcible citizen disarmament jihadists know that, and have every intention of exploiting it. [More]

Are 'gun control' advocates starting to see dangers of open borders?

That, of course, ignores the fact that much of the Mexican drug cartel violence uses weapons--like those so infamously used in France recently--far more powerful than those legally available to most U.S. citizens--machine guns, grenades, rocket launchers, etc. If some handguns and "assault weapons" can so easily cross the U.S./Mexico border going south, heavier weapons can do so coming north, along with all the drugs (and illegal aliens/future Democrat voters).

Perhaps the gun ban zealots should re-think their love of open borders. [More]

JPFO Alert: Terrorists, "Gun Control" Advocates Would Be Great Allies in American "Charlie Hebdo"-Style Attack

Today's JPFO Alert notes that a terrorist attack in the U.S. might target a "gun free" zone, but an even more diabolical gambit is another possibility.

Foreign jihadist groups and domestic "gun control" groups cherish a common goal--greatly reduced firepower in the hands of the American people. In the end, it's hard to say that their motives are much different, either.

In the end, of course, the United States is still a republic, and not a democracy in which 51% of the electorate could vote away the rights of the other 49% (or even 99%, against the rights of the other 1%). Our Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms is not contingent on that right's ability to win a popularity contest.

Still, the more people who will not tolerate forcible citizen disarmament, the fewer who will need to be killed in order to stop it. [More]

JPFO Alert: New ATF Ruling on Privately Made Guns Defies Constitution, Logic, and English

Today's JPFO Alert takes a dizzying look down the rabbit hole of what passes for "logic" according to the BATFE.

So now, any gunsmith or machinist who is hired by the "gun" owner to complete the machining is going to be ruled to have "manufactured" a gun, and will thus be held to the same restrictions that apply to all commercial gun manufacturers. The BATFE is insisting on having its cake and eating it, too. They have previously argued that an 80% receiver ceases to be an 80% receiver, and becomes a "firearm," if the manufacturer does so much as scratch an outline showing where material needs to be milled away; but now, if the buyer of what the BATFE recognizes as an incomplete receiver similarly removes some of the material that must be removed in order to make the receiver function in a firearm, and then turns it over to a skilled professional gunsmith or machinist to finish the work, the professional ends up being considered the one to have "manufactured" the gun.

We're incessantly told about the dangers of failing to keep firearms out of the hands of the mentally incompetent. How much more dangerous, though, is it to hand guns, badges, and the power to formulate gun policy (no legislation needed!) to such people?

Open carry rally in Texas will feature manufacturing guns on Capitol steps

In email correspondence with Phoenix Horton, one of the event organizers, St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner has learned that a plan is being put in place to avoid running afoul of the BATFE's new ruling.

That is wise, because the knowledge that technology is bringing gun manufacture to the masses, and thus threatens every facet of "gun control," is terrifying to those who believe that we the people must be ruled by the government. Terrified collectivists with the trappings of government power are dangerous, and the less excuse they are given to lash out in their fear, the safer it is for everyone. [More]

JPFO Alert: Pulitzer Prize Winning Professor Identifies Militias as "The Enemy Within"

Today's JPFO Alert discusses the highly regarded (in some circles, anyway) professor who has identified America's "enemy within"--us.

And that's another problem for your side, Diamond--the principles on which our republic (as opposed to your "democracy") was founded are indeed worth dying for, in the eyes of many of us, and perhaps an even bigger problem for you, worth killing for. So if you and your "decent Americans" decide to appeal to "authoritarian government" to deal with us, bring it.

'Distinguished Professor of Politics' accuses NRA of killing cops

Dreier concludes with the assertion that for the killing to stop, the U.S. must "tame" the NRA. Actually, Dreier, if the NRA isn't "tame" enough for you, wait til you get a load of these guys. [More]

JPFO Alert: Secretive "Gun Control" Cabal Threatens Liberty by its Agenda, and by its Methods

Today's JPFO Alert notes that the "American State Legislators for Gun Violence Prevention" would not be hiding their actions--their very identities--for fear of "political backlash," if they did not know that those actions would arouse the wrath of the very people they claim to "serve."

JPFO contributor Claire Wolfe has long argued that, "Secret government is tyrannical government." It's tyrannical, because only government by the people, is not tyrannical. And government is not "by the people" when "the people" are not even allowed to know what their servants in government are doing. ASLGVP's forcible citizen disarmament agenda is an attack on liberty, as are the methods by which they seek to advance that agenda.

Newtown victims' families choose poorly with regard to 'entrusting' guns

In the end, it is difficult to escape the conclusion that Bushmaster's "entrustment" of AR-15s to private citizens enables vastly less carnage than turning them over to governments and their proxies. [More]

JPFO Alert: A Truly Progressive Solution to Cops Shooting Black Men

Today's JPFO Alert notes that although this "progressive" writer might not have entirely thought his theory out, it's better than most "progressive" solutions.

Still, now he's advocating carrying guns to effect positive social and political change. That would indicate that he acknowledges that armed private citizens can push the government in directions that the unarmed cannot. That, in turn, is what the Second Amendment has always been about.

JPFO Alert: "Progressive" Writer Blames Michael Brown Shooting on Inadequate "Gun Control"

Today's JPFO Alert notes that although the slippery slope of "gun control" always remains a threat, for some gun ban zealots, that process is too slow.

No. If the government's hired muscle is shooting too many people, too indiscriminately, the answer is not to voluntarily surrender the means of defending against them. If they are unnecessarily shooting people out of fear, it's well past time for them to stop shooting, out of a much greater fear of the consequences of such shootings. That greater fear can only be imposed by people equipped to make shooting citizens unnecessarily a terminally dangerous activity.

Anything less is surrender.

JPFO Alert: Not All Anti-Gunners Willing to Wait for Slippery Slope

Today's JPFO Alert notes that although the slippery slope of "gun control" always remains a threat, for some gun ban zealots, that process is too slow.

One cannot help but wonder about Ensley's blustering " we'll take them." Does he propose to personally take part in the confiscations, or would his participation be limited to cheerleading from the sidelines. Personally, I strongly suspect the latter.

But I dearly hope I'm wrong. Molon labe, Ensley.

Does Florida outlaw a militia becoming 'well-regulated'?

Prosecutors told jurors that they didn't have to prove a specific plan, just show the group was doing the training for some sort of civil disorder.

And anti-gun groups argue that training for the potential eventuality of fighting against a tyrannical government constitutes that proof. If they have their way, Florida has indeed outlawed effective militia training--outlawed that which is necessary to the security of a free state. Just who are the domestic enemies, again?

JPFO Alert: In Washington and Elsewhere, Defiance is Proper Response to "Gun Control"

Today's JPFO Alert notes that the government simply doesn't have enough enforcers to compel us to submit to "gun control," if we only summon the will to defy it.

The movie "Defiance," about the Bielski brothers' desperate struggle to save themselves and hundreds of other Jews from the Nazis in Belorussia, is, despite its unfortunate choice of Daniel Craig for the leading role, an inspiring movie, with a tagline very applicable to this situation: "Freedom begins with an act of defiance." In Washington and everywhere else under the thumb of onerous "gun control" laws, it's time to get freedom started.

Anti-gun, anti-hunting agendas both depend on lies

If Agni is any indication, when arguing with anti-rights activists, it is not sufficient to vet the quality of any sources they use to bolster their position, but their sources must also be checked simply to verify that they say what the activists claim they do. [More]

JPFO Alert: More Americans Know a Defended Home is a Safer Home; "Gun Control" Advocates Upset

Today's JPFO Alert notes the welcome rise in the number of Americans who realize that defenselessness is dangerous.

The right to own guns is in no way predicated on how popular it is, nor even on how desirable the outcome is. Still, if more and more Americans are realizing that they, and only they, are responsible for their families' security, and know that the best way to provide that security is to have an effective means of stopping those who would do them harm, this is very good news indeed.

New type of homemade ammo could make 3-D printed guns more practical, accessible

People like him and Goddard want us disarmed--want their beloved "government monopoly on force" protected even in the face of technology that promises home gun manufacture for the masses--and would be perfectly happy to see us maimed or killed for their sick agenda.

Crumling's innovation brings some more bad news to those pursuing that agenda, and that's very good news for those of us who believe liberty is worth fighting for. [More]

JPFO Alert: WA Private Sales Ban Referendum Shows Danger of Putting Rights Up for Vote

Today's JPFO Alert notes that putting fundamental human rights up for vote--even a vote you fully expect to win--is dangerous.

To endorse bestowing on voters the power to vote for fundamental rights, is to lend the veneer of legitimacy to the power of the people to vote against them. With scores of billions of dollars in the hands of people desperate to trample those rights, and with scores of millions of low-information voters prepared to vote for whatever the most prevalent and slickest TV ads tell them to, this experiment with "democracy" may just prove John Adams right.
