US 2nd Amendment Under Assault, Freedom Firearms Guns Defense

[grarpamp]

Democrats fixation on mandatory serial numbers bizarre
given serial numbers do absolutely nothing to keep people
from killing each other. Their intent is unchallengeable political
power, not saving lives, proof in the 35 top US big cities they
own for decades... Baltimore, DC, LA, Chicago... crime failures.

It seems the fallout from the insanity of 2020 continues to stay in
the public's mind. Even a year out from the panic buying craziness,
riots, movement to defund the police, and the election of Joe Biden,
Americans seem to have a new take on gun control.

According to a new poll, 63% of Americans support enforcing current
gun laws instead of passing new gun control into law.

This change shouldn't be surprising for anyone who's lived through the
past two years. With 2020 & 2021 bringing COVID, Lockdowns, panic
buying, the massive BLM riots, and the movement to defund the police,
it's no surprise that Americans are starting to oppose new gun control
in more significant numbers.

A statistic that has helped shape that polling data is that millions
of Americans became first-time gun owners during the pandemic. I
experienced this rush of new gun buyers at The Machine Gun Nest, where
we became completely inundated with first-time gun buyers. Many of
those buyers had no idea that firearms required a background check
(and a wait time here in Maryland). This process was a rude awakening
for many of these same first-time buyers that everything they had
learned about firearms being "easier to buy than books" was all just
corporate media lies.

What's even more interesting is that the data changes come primarily
from non-traditional gun owners, people who identify as political
independents, and even Democrats. Recently there was a 15 point drop
in support for strict gun control laws from independents, according to
Gallup. Considering that 50% of all new gun owners in the past two
years are women, and many more are minorities, it makes sense that
attitudes are shifting.

It's a drastic change compared to pre-pandemic thinking. Just a few
years ago, in 2018, after the mass shooting in Parkland, FL, support
for gun control was at its highest point, with 66% of the country
supporting new gun control legislation.

We also know that activist district attorneys like those in
Philadelphia and other liberal cities often refuse to charge or
prosecute criminals on firearms charges, leading to higher rates of
violence in those same cities. In Philadelphia, out of 1,810 firearms
cases in 2021 (that's more than 4 per day), 61.5% of cases were
dismissed or withdrawn. Only 2.6% of those same cases (that's 47
total) were found guilty at trial. We at The Machine Gun Nest can
speak from experience being in Maryland. Baltimore City is an example
of these failed policies. It's no wonder with the failure even to
prosecute violent criminals with gun crimes that Maryland residents
are desperate to buy and carry firearms. It's also no wonder that the
people of the United States, especially in these liberal
jurisdictions, want the law enforced!

Another significant movement creating conversation and awareness that
may have contributed to this new poll is the number of counties that
have become 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries. The 2nd Amendment Sanctuary
movement first gained attention when, in early 2020, the Governor of
Virginia moved to pass an "Assault Weapons Ban," among other gun
control measures. This gun control push triggered a massive response
from the citizenry of VA (one of the most armed states per capita in
the country). It caused many of Virginia's counties to become 2nd
Amendment Sanctuaries, where the local government refuses to enforce
gun control laws. This idea became so popular that 62.5% of counties
in the United States are now 2nd Amendment Sanctuaries.

So why does all this matter? Well, the country's mood has shifted when
it comes to firearms. This cultural change is reflected in government,
where Democrats don't want to pursue gun control legislation
whatsoever! A few days ago, Joe Biden marked the fourth anniversary of
the mass shooting in Parkland, FL, by calling on Congress to pass new
gun control legislation.

But Democrats don't seem to be interested, as reported by The Hill –
Democrats don't seem to feel that there's enough support for new gun
control to push the legislation!

Gun owners can take solace in the fact that, at least in Congress, the
gun control agenda has stalled. This stalemate is, of course, why the
Biden administration has been pushing gun control via executive fiat,
using the ATF to circumvent the legislative process altogether. With
hotly contested midterms and Presidential approval ratings plummeting,
the Biden Administration will be looking for any scapegoat to rally
their base back to vote. We've seen it recently with Biden trying to
"rally around the flag" with the situation in Ukraine, and we know
that gun control is food for the base so to speak. I'd expect Biden to
announce that he's "solved the ghost gun issue" this spring when the
ATF releases their new unconstitutional rules on frames and receivers.

The flip side of the gun control agenda stalling at the Federal level
is that States will then take the issue into their own hands. We
currently see some of the most egregious local gun control pushes yet,
with San Jose, CA, requiring that gun owners purchase liability
insurance for their firearms and pay a fee, which will be donated to
an anti-gun group! Meanwhile, in Boulder, Colorado, local legislators
have entirely thrown out State Preemption to pass a city-level assault
weapons ban, literally balkanizing the State of Colorado legally in
the process.

With the verdict for NYSRPA v Bruen on the horizon and many more legal
battles ahead, 2022 will be a very interesting year for gun rights.
