Will The Biden Regime Call Second Amendment Activism Misinformation? – AmmoLand Shooting Sports News

Vivek Hallegere Murthy

White House/Silicon Valley -(AmmoLand.com)-In the course of White House press briefings, Second Amendment supporters got good news, but they also found themselves facing a much greater short-term danger. The good news is that Jen Psaki probably handed enough evidence to prove that Silicon Valley has been acting as a proxy for the federal government to pretty much ensure former President Trump will win his court case.

The bad news is that Surgeon General Vivek Murthy has upped the ante over the short term by claiming that misinformation about COVID-19 is an imminent and insidious threat to our nations health. Of course, Murthy has a prescription that includes suggestions for social media companies.

Remember how the Centers for Disease Control were pushing gun control? It was so bad Congress wisely pulled the plug on funding for that pseudo-science, much to the chagrin and anger of anti-Second Amendment extremists like Senator Ed Markey (D-MA), who want to take us back to the bad old days of politicized medicine.

(As an aside, the CDCs blatant anti-Second Amendment propaganda may be a big reason why they arent entirely trusted with regards to COVID and vaccines. Let this be a lesson to Second Amendment supporters who, in this media environment must take a higher level of care about how we come across to our fellow Americans, like avoiding the use of dubious quotes.)

The big question is, of course, whether Murthy would declare activism for our Second Amendment rights as misinformation if CDC goes back into the business of being propagandists for gun control. We cant put that past them, especially given how Silicon Valley censorship has affected things already.

Think about how CDC has suppressed information about the use of firearms for self-defense in the past. Or remember how Arthur Kellerman claimed that a firearm was 43 times more likely to be used to kill you than to be used for self-defense? Right now, if Murthy calls efforts to point out Kellermans BS misinformation, you can bet that Silicon Valley will be censoring in moments.

As we now know, Kellerman got that figure by only counting those homicides that were ruled self-defense. But as Massad Ayoob or any other competent self-defense instructor would quickly tell you, you dont have to kill an assailant to have successfully defended yourself. Dont take my word for it: The NRAs Armed Citizen over the years has examples of armed bad guys fleeing or surrendering when they realize there is an armed good guy, with no shots fired by the good guy at all.

Second Amendment supporters need to urge their Representative and Senators to block any CDC effort to attack the First and Second Amendments in the name of public health. In addition, they need to work to defeat anti-Second Amendment extremists at the federal, state, and local levels at the ballot box as soon as possible.

Wisconsin Senate passes ‘Second Amendment sanctuary’ bill | TheHill – The Hill

The Wisconsin Senate on Wednesday passed a bill aimed at exempting the state from federal gun laws.

The state Senate passed Assembly Bill 293by voice vote, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.Supporters of the legislation say it would make the state a Second Amendment sanctuary.

Under the bill, a firearm that is owned in the state of Wisconsin and does not leave the state would not be subject to federal regulation, according to its text.

The measure also prohibits a person from enforcing a federal act, law, statute, rule, regulation, treaty, or order that bans semi-automatic weapons, requires registration of firearms, regulates capacity of magazines or requires confiscation of a firearm.

The legislation also prohibits state agencies and local governments fromusing resources to confiscate firearms that are lawfully possessed in the state.

The state Assembly passed the bill on June 9, according to records on the state legislatures website.

Tillis Raises Alarm Over Proposed Rules Jeopardizing Americans’ Second Amendment… – Thom Tillis

WASHINGTON, D.C. U.S. Senators Thom Tillis (R-NC), Josh Hawley (R-MO), Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Ted Cruz (R-TX) recently sent a letter to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms(ATF)and Explosives raising alarm overtwo of their newly-proposedgunrulesthat could threatenAmericans Second Amendment rights.

The rules, 2021R-05 and 2021R-08, would require the retention of firearms transaction records forever, paving the way to a national gun registry, and clamp down on pistol braces and other devices possessed by thousands of law-abiding gun owners.

These measures are concerning enough on their face. But more alarming is ATFs apparent willingness to unilaterally make important firearms policy determinations wholly apart from Congress,wrote the Senators.Americans rights to keep and bear firearms are safeguarded by the Second Amendment, and the responsibility for implementing those constitutional protections rests with elected lawmakersnot unelected federal bureaucrats.

Read the full letterhere.

Lawmaker wants state to be ‘Second Amendment Sanctuary’ – ABC 36 News – WTVQ

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) Although experts say the measures are mostly symbolic and have questionable legal standing, Kentucky could become the latest so-called Second Amendment Sanctuary state if legislation pre-filed by Rep. Josh Bray is approved during the 2022 Regular Session.

The measure, BR 171, bars state and local law enforcement from enforcing federal restrictions on the constitutional right to bear arms.

President Biden has declared gun control a priority for his administration and we know that if he doesnt get what he wants from Congress, he will abuse his executive authority through rulemaking, said Bray, who represents all of Garrard and Rockcastle counties and a portion of Madison County. BR 171 sends a clear message that Kentucky is a Second Amendment Sanctuary, and that there is no question we will defend the Second Amendment against any attempt to infringe upon it.

Brays proposal would further strengthen the statewide movement. The fiscal courts in 113 of 120 counties and six cities have approved similar language.

Firearms play an enormous role in our states history and our lifestyle. Kentuckians want to enjoy the outdoors and pass along the tradition of hunting and sportsmanship. However, we also recognize that the Second Amendment was crafted to ensure we can protect not only country, but also ourselves, Bray added.

The full text of BR 171 can be foundhere, or by visiting the Legislative Research Commissions website atwww.legislature.ky.gov.

The Kentucky General Assembly will convene for the 2022 Regular Session on January 4, 2022.
