You’re getting tired of hearing it and we’re getting tired of saying it, but the truth remains: there is an all-out assault on our 2A rights, and it’s escalating with each passing day.
Last week it was the reintroduction of legislation to criminalize private transfers, known as H.R. 8, and a few weeks before that H.R. 127 made its debut, a proposal to mandate nation-wide licensing and registration while also making one’s right to keep and bear arms contingent upon a psych test.
Oh, and it would also require one to purchase liability insurance at the cost of at least $800 per year. No lie! Check out the bill if you haven’t already.
As bad as all that sounds, sadly, we know that things are only going to get worse.
Why? Because Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Circuit Judge Merrick Garland have told us so.
Earlier this month, Feinstein announced that she would bring back legislation to ban so-called “assault weapons” in the not too distant future.
“I look forward to working with my colleagues to pass this bill and other reforms, including the assault weapons ban I will reintroduce in the coming weeks,” said the Democratic senator from California on Twitter, in response to the announcement of H.R. 8.

“With a new administration in the White House, it’s time to take action to end gun violence,” she added.

Garland, who has been tapped by the Biden Administration to serve as attorney general, promised to do his part as the nation’s top law enforcer.
When asked if he would back a Feinstein-style ban on black rifles at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing in February, he responded, “Well, as I’m sure you know, the president is a strong supporter of gun control and has been an advocate all his professional life on this question.”
“The role of the Justice Department is to advance the policy program of the administration as long as it is consistent with the law,” he continued. “Where there is room under the law for the president’s policies to be pursued, I think the president is entitled to pursue them.”
In other words, Garland does not believe a sweeping prohibition on America’s most popular rifle, the AR-15, as well as other arbitrarily demonized firearms, would qualify as an infringement.
What other clear-cut infringements on 2A rights from the Biden Administration will Garland embrace as attorney general? The safe bet, all of them.
And it looks like Garland’s a shoo-in for the job. Even Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) endorsed Garland.
The best hope gun owners have against all this craziness becoming reality is that lawmakers don’t suddenly change the rules on how the game is played.
Meaning, that the Dems don’t blow up the filibuster, the procedure by which a lawmaker(s) can indefinitely delay the vote on a bill via a protracted debate unless 60 senators agree to invoke cloture.
Right now, pro-gun senators can still block draconian legislation by using the filibuster.
However, if Biden and the Dems get frustrated and decide to remove the filibuster, and all that is required is a simple majority to pass a bill in the Democratically-controlled Congress, gun owners are in deep, deep trouble.
If there’s any good news it’s this. President Biden has publicly come out against reforming the filibuster… at least for now.
Make sure this FINE something BITCH comes to every house to take somebody’s Firearm’s see how long that goes down.Lest put team tin foil on it and in that group are CHUCKIE SCHUMER,DIANA FEINSTEIN,STUPID PELOSI,LITTLE FAT JERRY,AND PLEASE DON’T FORGET ANTIE FAT LIPS WATERS THE MOUTH OF THE WEST.These people have throwed there candy in the sand they are scared shitless of AMERICAN’S. Why do you think Nancy had the guard and her fence in place because the chicken shit people know they screwed up.They started it with SOROS paid for ANTIFA AND B. L. M. and lost all the time SHOTGUN DEMENTIA JOE with all his E.O. the FOOLS in the back ground are putting in front of him hell he is in a world of his own just signs them.JILL JILL where am I can I have some more pudding. With all the crap going on in this country they shouldn’t piss people off anymore then they have already. When 2022 comes around what are they going to do cheat again I hope they do better take there sleeping bags to work with them when the war starts and the bullets start to tear holes in people I wouldn’t want to be a person in D.C. with a target on my back or head sometime your lights are going out. The last thing you hear is a sucking sound of the bullrt passing through you and the lights go dim slowly.
First thing that needs to happen is Diane needs to take a competency exam. She should loose her position because she is unable to take care of herself. The rumors are wide spread she is no longer capable of caring for herself let alone hold office. We need to go after her ability to hold office, we deserve better. The bill is clearly formulated by someone who is not mentally competent
If anyone of you isn’t a member of the NRA and/or 2nd Amendment Foundation then you are not part of the solution. This battle won’t be won in armed conflict, it will be decided in the courts. Law suits cost money. The Government doesn’t have to spend one dime to enact new laws or fight opposition in the courts. We the people on the other hand must pay attorneys to represent us in the same courtroom. Get out your check books and write a $1000 check to your favorite 2nd Amendment advocate. Too much you say? How about $800 a year to have the “right” to own a gun if licensed registration becomes a law?
The government only needs to make it prohibitively expensive to be a gun owner and they will achieve the same result as banning or confiscating guns, without the cost or bloodshed, and added tax revenue to boot.
Muammar Gaddafi once said that Muslim don’t have to go to war to rule the world. Given the reduced birth rate in the industrialized world Muslim’s only have to wait a couple of generations until they out number everyone and impose rule.
Same thing with the Government. Just make it financially burdensome on the gun industry to produce guns and ammunition and gun owners to buy and own the same. Gun control without a shot being fired.
I’ll see you in court.
“…the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” Amendment 2, U.S. Constitution.
Marbury v. Madison
“…Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void, …”
When will enough be enough ? At what point will Constitutional rule be restored ? By whom ? Certainly NOT by the self-serving politicians of both sides who place self and party loyalty above their oath to the Constitution.
The so-called “insurrection” of January 6, 2021 never ocurred. The real “Insurrection” is ocurring quietly in front of us on a daily basis. Organized and perpetrated by politicians who seek to overthrow the Constitution of the United States. It has been ongoing for at least 100 years, and is now reaching the final stages.
Ask yourselves, is defending the Constitution insurrection ? Do you place loyalty to a political party (any) or a government above loyalty to the Constitution? If so, you are part of the problem.
The answer is leaving the District of Columbia Swamp creatures to form a new nation that will put back in place the original Constitution with the Bill of Rights and the 13th Amendment. I hope in the future at least thirty States will see this will be the way to preserve a government that will be by the people and for the people.
It has gotten so corrupt in the Federal Government that this is the only reasonable answer I can see. Peacefully leaving the United States to form a new government under liberty and the Constitution.
As far as im concerned i lost all of my semi-auto firearms in a freak boating accident and at the same time i want to say that these TRAITORS can make all the unconstitutional laws they want. If “we the people” choose to “not” follow those laws i would love to know what they would do about it? As i saw someone else comment hat all this will do is bring on the JUSTICE we all want to have served to these traitors by sparking a civil war and a civil war i think the left truly wants. They some how feel they can win it? Im sure they all feel emboldened because they got away with the theft of not just one or two but three elections for sure as they now have not just the presidency but the Senate and Congress as well as the Fed court ,what we thought was our last line of defense and would stand for the people is actually turning their backs on JUSTICE as we all were PROMISED!!!Not even bothering to look at real and factual evidence of voter fraud on a scale that could overturn the election results and they ……refuse to even look at it? They have bene compromised and all of them should be hanged along with every last leftists in DC! That includes every last traitor, republican that voted to impeach Trump “after” he was out of office which was unconstitutional to start with! I know im locked&loaded and if someone wants ot take my property they sure had better be willing to risk their lives to do it! I will never submit to this illegitimate President and Senate as well as the Congress which im sure if anyone bothered ot look would see a ton of voter fraud! These scumbags cant be keeping their seats of power due to their work records…..LOL not at all since they do little but crack down on Law abiding citizens with more and more unconstitutional laws! The time to fight back is NOW!!! I will never submit to these TRAITORS and die a Free American! I dont care what the rest of you do but im moving ASAP to sell my home in my Blue state and find property in a FREE state and those that can sure better had!!! Last Note and very important BUY ALL THE AMMO U CAN WHILE YOU CAN!!! WE ARE “ALL” GOING TO NEED IT!!!%
It’s old news, but several years ago the number of national gun deaths in the year was about 17,000. Those that involved long guns numbered about 300, of which half were “assault weapons” (sic). In other words, about 150 deaths per year by black semi autos in the entire USA. Statistically; none.
DiFi is another political lifer who cares only about retaining power for the socialist/communist party, not about the inherent wellness of our country. She’s even older than I am and that’s too damned old to be in office, especially when she’s never done any real work at a real job..
Ralph
Politicians ignore and/or misstate the terminology used in the NFA and by the BATFE describing “machine guns” and “assault rifles” et cetera. All current “GCA” should be abolished or amended so the citizens can easily understand what laws are in place and the threats and obligations that might exist. Hopefully as 2A supporters we will be more careful with our use of terminology even though the opposition probably never will. Certainly “assault style rifle” is better than “assault rifle” or assault weapon” but that still seems a little misleading also.
The laws that Feinstein is proposing would obviously be unconstitutional but, like Eric Holder, Mr. Garland has pretty much promised to ignore the constitution. Since the election in November the majority of law enforcement, the investigative agencies (the FBI and state equivalents), local, state and federal officials (attorney generals, secretaries of state, mayors, governors, etcetera), legislators (state and federal), and the judicial system (local, state and federal including SCOTUS (except Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito) seem to be blatantly ignoring fraud, corruption and outright criminality regarding the election corruption which was against the constitution and against state and federal laws.
So, if the legislature creates laws that ignore the constitution and create leftist, socialist tyranny, who is going to do anything about it? The media are part of the insurrection and if we give up our guns, we become the slaves on the plantation.
These politicians had better put the brakes on their gun law nonsense. They are going to make criminals out of millions of Americans who were trusting them to preserve the constitution as they promised. Not to destroy it. The criminals who cause all of the gun crimes will not be affected by your juvenal gun laws but if the stupid democrats do not understand the average American many of them will become victims by the very people that they want to disarm. The Democrats might want to give up their socialist ideas and let America stay a free nation or they will give China the big opportunity it has been waiting for (a nation with weak leadership) At that time you better start learning Chinese and get down on your knees and pray to God that American citizens are still armed and not with cap guns. Haven’t any of you got any common sense?
WHEN THE ORIGINAL ASSAULT WEAPONS BAN WAS PASSED IT HAD A SUNSET CLAUSE AFTER 10 YEARS, AND A STUDY WAS TO BE DONE TO DETERMINE ITS BENEFIT. THE STUDY WAS DONE AND THE RESULTS WERE QUIETLY PUBLISHED. THE RESULTS WERE THAT NO CRIMES WERE PREVENTED BY THE LAW. CRIMINALS DID NOT FOLLOW THE LAW. THE LAW ACTUALLY HARMED BUSINESSES, INDUSTRY, AND LAW ABIDING CITIZENS. THE LAW ACTUALLY COST BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND PREVENTED NOT ONE CRIME!
One might find it regrettable that this creature still walks the Earth. One might.
ONE DOES INDEED!
We’ll only be free of this horse hockey when we get rid of carrier politicians who don’t keep the Oath of Office they took upon entering office.Until then prepare for Civil War Two !!
Their game is so transparent, despite their constant lies & deceptions, that a 5th -grader can see it.
Step 1.- universal gun registration logged into a federal database(currently against the law!)
Step 2.- mass fines, confiscations, and prison terms to disarm and remove those “domestic terrorists”
Step 3.- taxes on guns/ammo to make them unaffordable
Step 4.- closure of shooting ranges & banning of shooting/hunting clubs
Step 5.- destruction of the entire civilian firearms industry via stifling regulations and lawsuits
Step 6.- nullification of the Constitution & BOR and replacement with a Progressive-Socialis(Marxist) regimen
The P-S’s know that the 2nd A. is the key to ultimately protecting all the other principles in our founding documents. Crush that, and the path is clear to dismantle everything else.
What about Article I, § 8, Cls. 15 & 16, and Article II, § 2, Cl. 1? The purpose of the 2nd is to make sure that those Articles are adhered to by government. That is already precedent. It is only under the (mis)guidance of groups such as the NRA and GOA seeking more contributions that the proper enforcement of the right to keep and bear arms has been completely distorted.
You don’t have any rights if you are clueless as to how to enforce them.
When the hell are ‘We The People’ going to organize and take back this country!!!
Not-going-to-happen.
“But we got all the guns!”. So.
I really hate looking like a troll but what I just said is as distressing to me as it should be to most people reading it.
As as people of this once great but now defeated nation we are in the not too distant future going to experience an unbelievably brutal cascading reality that will stun us into submission.
IF, we can take that in in the fullness of the bitter ugliness it represents; reject it and use it as the driver that propels us to do the ‘hard’ thing fraught with loneliness and uncertainty maybe just maybe……
Tough titty, Feinstein … Governor Abbott has already quoted Marbury vs. Madison and declared Texas a 2d Amendment sanctuary state. Stuff a bagel up your a$$.
I thought that worthless hag was retiring?
To be fair, it’s very unlikely that fienstein remembers introducing it before.
We are tired of Feinstein’s sorry Communist ass. She and her husband have made millions by sucking the Chinese cock.
These so-called lawmakers help criminals get guns.
Instead of creating laws to punish criminals with enforcement, they let them go free to kill.
Criminals follow no law they pass.
They should create a law that removes any gun from a criminal and given to law abiding citizens.
Geez guy, are you that willfully naive? You don’t get that by encouraging more violent crime they can create a “good crisis?” Then, they will justify more & more attacks on guns & gun owners in the name of “public safety.”
It’s all part of their larger strategy.
If I remember rightly back in High school reading the communist manifesto and mein kampf nearly everything the democrat party is doing was part of a plan to remove citizens rights by making so many laws that not even the politburo knows what they are. soon on the streets will be hearing “vhere are your pepppers?” The dems are showing there willing ness to boe to their chinese puppet masters with every breath they take to weaken the United States. Impeach, try, convict and execute as traitors.
Perfect storm is coming to pass…we all best be ready and determined how we’re doing to deal with it. The country is coming apart at the seams.
” The Tree of Liberty must be Refreshed from Time to Time with the Blood of Patriots and TYRANTS ” … Thomas Jefferson. ” Am Armed Society is a Polite Society ” … Thomas Jefferson. ” When the Govt Fears the People that is LIBERTY, When the People FEAR THE GOVT THAT IS TYRANNY ” …. Thomas Jefferson. RISE / RESIST / REBEL !!
AMEN. words to live by!!!
There is one thing all Gun owners can do to hit back at people like Feinstein and Soros
STOP Using credit of any kind phase it out cut out their money
They need to ban assholes from politics.
Then there would be no one left in politics…LOL
There are times the gov over steps their authority, and this is one of them. To gather up 500M firearms would take forever and that would just be the legal ones. They couldn’t do it and they know it. They are afraid to clean-up Chicago so they go after the honest citizen. They are just playing to their voter base. Term limits!
let me correct this “They are afraid to clean-up Chicago so they go after the honest citizen.”
“They are afraid to clean-up protected minorities so they go after the honest citizen.”
there I fixed it for you
This is what we get when Liberals run the math department: 2+2=3.14, etc…
They use the label, ”assault”, but don’t accept the truth of its definition; Assaults are committed by a criminal…
Why don’t they arrest the true criminals, instead of letting them go free?
Why do they pass Executive Orders to censor the term, “Illegal Alien”?
They illegally create laws, (UnConstitutional), to make a law abiding Citizen a criminal just for owning and bearing arms…
“Why don’t they arrest the true criminals, instead of letting them go free?
Why do they pass Executive Orders to censor the term, “Illegal Alien”?”
because the overwhelming majority of the criminals using guns are minorities and they can’t keep putting their voter base in jail.
Scuse me but:
Does this jackass actually know what an assault rifle is? Actually there is no such thing. AR does not stand for Assault Rifle, contrary to popular belief. It stands for Armalite Rifle, which is the company that submitted it to the Army for testing. Also the Armalite Rifle was fully automatic.
*The ArmaLite AR-15 is a select-fire, air-cooled, gas-operated, magazine-fed rifle manufactured in the United States between 1959 and 1964, and adopted by the United States Armed Forces as the M16 rifle. Designed by American gun manufacturer ArmaLite in 1956, it was based on its AR-10 rifle.
*Used from Duck Duck Go Search.
I really wish that politicians would get their heads and their asses wired together and know what the hell they are talking about before they open mouth and insert foot. “It is far better to have one think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.” I read that somewhere…
@Stephen – Senator Feinstein said assault weapon, not assault rifle.
Josh Sugarman, who coined the term circa 1988/89, defined an assault weapon as a detachable magazine fed semiautomatic rifle with pistol grip that has at least two of the following five cosmetic features: a folding or collapsible stock, a barrel shroud, grenade launcher mount, flash hider, or bayonet lug. This was the definition used in the 1994 Assault Weapon Ban.
An assault rifle is a detachable magazine fed select-fire rifle, with pistol grip, that can fire full automatic (two or more shots with each pull of the trigger, like a machine gun) or semiautomatic (one shot for each pull of the trigger), and each chambered for an intermediate powered rifle cartridge.
The term assault rifle was coined in 1944 by Adolph Hitler when he viewed a demonstration of the Maschinnen Pistole 1944 (MP44). Taking in the characteristics and capabilities of the rifle, he renamed it the SturmGewehr 1944 (StG44). Translated from German SturmGewehr means assault rifle.
The terms assault weapon and assault rifle are not interchangeable as they each have different types of actions.
The ArmaLite Model 15 was not originally capable of full automatic fire. Contrary to what you read on DuckDuckGo, it was designed in 1958 as a strictly semiauto rifle and marketed to sportsmen in 1959 as a hunting and target rifle.
When expected sales of AR15 did not materialize, ArmaLite added a select-fire feature and began peddling it to the military about 1961. The first branch to test it was the Air Force, who then placed an initial order for about 5,000 units. It was issued to security detachments and the Air Police in Viet Nam who received it very well.
The next branch to test and order the AR15 was the US Army circa 1963/64. When the Army placed a contract with ArmaLite, the company realized it could not produce the number ordered and sold the manufacturing and intellectual rights, as well as the contract, to Colt Firearms Company.
The Army gave the AR15 the military nomenclature/model of M16.
It would be nice if persons on the pro-gun side would learn what they are talking about.
I believe further research on your part is in order.
YOU need to do some further research. A rifle itself doesn’t make it a assault rifle just because it has a detachable magazine. Quit watching the lamestream media; you make yourself sound like a fool.
I agreed with most if NOT all Stephen and jrknt1 wrote. Rob, I do NOT understand your post, if you have a legitimate criticism then be specific in your complaint since both SN’s seem like strong 2A supporters. TOO many people do that already calling good people “Elmer Fudd” and other condescending responses.
Don’t get lost in the weeds. Call it what you want but these assholes are coming to get them. Better spend more time at the range instead of searching the internet
Of course, they have to disarm the citizenry to have conplete control and violate the constitution and American citizens. A democratic play right out of Hitlers playbook!
JR sugerman was a tool for the antigun socialists that wanted to ban all semi auto and auto firearms. his description was his OPINION OF WHAT AN “ASSAULT WEAPON”was.
These idiots have no clue of what constitutes an assault rifle. No semi-automatic is an assault rifle. To think and AR, SKS, or AK that at not fully automatic is not an assault rifle. Those assholes in Sc need to be educated before even looking at such an asinine bill.
You’re another one that just doesn’t get it. They are jumping on the AR-15 because it was used in some mass shootings. If it had been Daisy Red Ryder BB guns, they’d be calling them “assault weapons.” The AR-15 is just
the poster boy for the hundreds of other “assault weapons” on their ban list. These scumbags have a plan to abolish private firearms in America. They have so stated their admiration for the UK and Australian models.
Wake-up and see the larger picture.
Too many people have a simple and basic misunderstanding about “gun control.” “Gun control” is not now, and has never been, about crime or criminals. Quite frankly, the Left couldn’t give a rat’s behind about crime or criminals. Gun control is, and has always been, about disarming the citizenry so they cannot represent a threat to the government once the Left establishes the dictatorship they have been working toward for well more than half a century and, thanks to the stolen elections of November and January, are now in the process of consolidating. The key word in the term “gun control” is not “gun” – it is “control.” A quick study of basic world history will show that one of the first actions taken by every Communist government upon their takeover was to go to all of the local police stations, get the lists of gun owners, and then go door to door and disarm everyone. That is why the Communists – er, I mean the Democrats – want a national gun registry. Is there really anyone at this point in time who still does not understand this?
No, no, no! It’s no longer “gun control”– that sounds too negative. Now, it’s “gun violence,” for who in their right mind is against getting rid of That?
Also, unfortunately, there are Far too many who still don’t understand the points you made. What the Left is counting on to carry-out their plans.
Again and again, criminals don’t need background checks, don’t need psych test, and don’t need liability insurance… At the end, more and more innocents get shot/killed/robbed/rapped. Gun Free Zone is an example of stupid gun law. Shoot back save life!
Every “gun law” ever passed has been an “infringement” upon the 2nd which is … Hello? .. Unconstitutional!
In Marbury v. Madison (1803) the Supreme Court announced for the first time the principle that a court may declare an act of Congress void if it is inconsistent with the Constitution.
“All laws that are repugnant to the Constitution are null and void.”
Marbury v. Madison
The Constitution is not a “Rights” giver.
(Those are God given)
The Constitution is a Control over government powers by .. We The People!
Why hasn’t anybody investigated this crazy walking communist traitor who had a chinese spy working for her for twenty years and that’s to long not to know that he was a spy. I believe that she is helping the Chinese to try and push complete gun control for the chinese government.
Because she is a democrat. That’s why…
Rodney – they are indeed pushing that direction and when it comes they simply do not care how many of us – or their own minions – have to be sacrificed in order to attain their goal. Oh well, I guess that is one way to get bill gates depopulation numbers………………………
The arrogant anti Constitutional communist party with the help of democrat voters, legal and illegal, want to take away all rights and freedoms expect the ones they approve.
This old bitch needs to be put out of our misery. Send her over for a reunion with her spy chauffeur in CCP. One way ticket. Senile old Bat. As bad as China Joe.
The problem, Biden won’t remember what he has stated or committed.
And these socialist keep pushing us closer and closer to a war.
