America is currently in the midst of a color revolution 

America is currently in the midst of a color revolution designed to overthrow our Constitutional form of government. The only way to stop it is awareness.
(This is going to be a lengthy article, but please bear with me because I believe we all need to understand what is happening in the shadows.)
If you are not already aware of the treasure trove* of seditionist materials that

has uncovered, please stop now and review them, or at least listen to

this audio

describing the seditionist plot in the seditionists’ own words. Please come back to this article after you listen.

Are you back?
Great, thanks.
THAT, friends, is what a color revolution sounds like.
However, if we are all going to fight this rebellion with our own words and deeds, we need the knowledge to be able to spot exactly what the fight looks like. To that end, I am writing this article to educate American patriots on what a color revolution actually is, what its key strategies consist of, and how those strategies relate to what we are seeing being unleashed in the USA today.
What is a Color Revolution?
Wikipedia

defines a “color revolution” as follows:

“[Color revolutions] are a series of often non-violent protests and accompanying (attempted or successful) changes of government and society taking place in post-Soviet states (particularly Georgia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan) and the former Yugoslavia during the 21st century. The aim of the color revolutions is to establish Western-style democracies. They were primarily triggered by election results widely viewed as falsified. The color revolutions are marked by the use of the internet as a method of communication, as well as a strong role of non-governmental organizations [(“NGOs”)] in the protests.”

It’s so nice when they provide such positive identification for future use

The Second Amendment and AR-15s: an unexplained betrayal of originalism?

Last month, I provided a short discussion of the upcoming AR-15 rifle ban case, Viramontes v. Cook County, noting that the 2008 pathbreaking Second Amendment decision, District of Columbia v. Heller, ended by adding a “Part III” that identified “an important limitation on the right to keep and carry arms.” For a 5-4 majority, Justice Antonin Scalia wrote that “the sorts of weapons protected were those ‘in common use at the time (emphasis added).’” Scalia said that this limitation is “fairly supported by … historical tradition” and he provided a lengthy string of citations to demonstrate that proposition.

The Supreme Court has never examined the meaning of the “in common use at the time of the founding” limitation that the Heller majority described and said was supported by history. Instead, as detailed below, federal courts have silently transformed the Second Amendment test to extend it to weapons “in common use today.” Under this transformed test, AR-15 semi-automatic rifles might be protected although its advocates explain that they are a 20th century technological development. Yet if Scalia’s words are given their plain meaning, local governments would seem to have authority to enact bans on such weapons.

Given the consequences of which language applies, I continue to wonder why this is not a centerpiece of the Viramontes debate. (That said, Cook County’s responsive brief on the merits has not yet been filed – it’s due Oct. 21.) Indeed, a week after my column, Professor Jonathan Turley published a short column responding to this point, and calling Scalia’s limitation an “errant qualifier.”

Everytown Pumps Another $10 Million of Michael Bloomberg’s Cash Into the 2026 Midterms.

The midterm elections are just a little more than three weeks away and major gun control groups are backing up the Brink’s truck to dump sizeable sums into political races to buy more influence and put anti-Second Amendment politicians into office.

With the balance of power in Washington, D.C., teetering on a pinhead, any dollars going to candidates for U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate races are going to have an impact on what the policy landscape looks like in the coming new congressional term. Gun control activists are going all in.

“For nearly two years, a MAGA House has rubber-stamped the Trump administration as it tore up federal gun safety laws, and flipping these eight seats is how we put a stop to it,” said Everytown for Gun Safety President John Feinblatt, in a statement announcing his group’s recent investment. Everytown, of course, is the gun control activist group founded and funded by billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who himself is no stranger to spending 3- or 4-comma amounts to buy more gun control.

Everytown’s Newest Windfall

Axios reported that Everytown has made a significant investment in several congressional races to buoy gun control-supporting candidates and to flip seats from Republican to Democrat. The current U.S. House of Representatives Republican margin only sits at four seats, 218-214. That means flipping even three of the eight seats targeted by the Everytown cash dump would flip control of the House.

The Everytown spending splurge totals at least $10 million and every single one of the eight candidates included in the strategy is a former Moms Demand Action volunteer with a known track record of supporting those groups’ strict gun control demands.

The $10 million total in new Everytown campaign spending matches a $10 million “seed” donation plan that the gun control group GIFFORDS announced less than one month ago. GIFFORDS’ spending included U.S. Senate races in Michigan and U.S. House races in Virginia and New Jersey. This new spending by Everytown is a much larger expanded map.

According to Axios, the Everytown $10 million will be split between JoAnna Mendoza of Arizona, Pia Dandiya of Florida, Christina Bohannan, Sarah Trone Garriott and Lindsay James of Iowa, Christina Hines and state Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet of Michigan and Paige Cognetti of Pennsylvania.

U.S. House Democrats’ main super PAC, the House Majority PAC, praised the Everytown announcement, which would help Democrats take the majority in next year’s new Congress and make House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) the new Speaker of the House. Mike Smith, who leads House Majority PAC, stated, “Every seat on this map is a chance to put a check on a Trump administration and a MAGA House that have spent two years putting the gun lobby ahead of American families.”

If You Thought $10 Million Was A Lot

As if there were any way to do so, Second Amendment supporters cannot forget the impact billionaire gun control and defund the police funder George Soros and his son Alex are having on the political landscape. Their collective bank accounts are seemingly bottomless and they are making it known, too, in the final weeks before Election Day.

NSSF has reported time and time again on the political bankrolling the elder Soros has done, how his son, Alex, has continued that effort and on the terrible consequences innocent Americans feel as a result of the politicians who have received their support.

If you thought the new Everytown spending would raise eyebrows, you better be sitting for the Soros news. According to Fortune, George Soros, his son and the family organizations are all dumping a whopping $102 million into Democracy PAC, a Soros organization super PAC that backs candidates who support more gun control, soft-on-criminal prosecutors and defund the police advocates in communities all across the country.

“About half that sum [$102 million] came from Geosor Corp, a private investment company owned by Soros. The other half came from the Fund for Policy Reform, a nonprofit that’s part of Soros’ Open Society Foundations, which supports progressive organizations and whose board is chaired by his son, Alex Soros,” Fortune reported.

This election cycle is notable as it’s the first full cycle after the elder Soros transferred control of his political spending to the younger Soros. Alex, unsurprisingly, backed Kamala Harris in 2024 and urged Democrats to unite behind her.

Altogether, these are just simply massive totals for gun control candidates to receive in the final stretch of the midterm elections.

Protect the Backstop

Voting-aged Americans who support their Second Amendment rights to purchase and possess firearms need to get and stay active ahead of Election Day. NSSF’s Protect Liberty Political Action Committee is doing all it can to boost federal candidates who will preserve and protect liberty, freedom and the Constitutional rights of all Americans, especially the Second Amendment.

Protect Liberty PAC is an independent-expenditure-only political committee and can accept unlimited personal and corporate contributions from companies in or outside of the industry, so long as they do not have federal contracts. Protect Liberty PAC will also expressly advocate for the election or defeat of specific candidates and that advocacy will be completely independent of any candidate or political party.

If you are able to donate to Protect Liberty PAC to boost pro-Second Amendment, pro-firearm industry candidates, please click here to join the fight. Every single donation will matter and will have a positive impact to protect your rights.

Voters shouldn’t risk their rights; they should #GUNVOTE to ensure the right people are there to act to protect their Second Amendment rights.

From her quoted statements, she wants to make it less dangerous for her gangs.

Minnesota: Somali Democrat Mayor Pushes Gun Ban as Fix for Somali Gang Crime

St. Louis Park Mayor Nadia Mohamed (D), the first Somali-American elected mayor in Minnesota, suggests the solution to Somali gang gun violence is to ban firearms.

A clip of Mohamed expressing her support for a gun ban has made the rounds on social media.

Bearing Arms quoted part of her comments wherein she dismissed criticism of the Somali gangs as “rhetoric” that is “irresponsible” and turned to gun control as a solution:

A crime is a crime is a crime is a crime. But what the rhetoric you are pushing, at best is irresponsible, at worst is dangerous. So you may be wondering, hey Mayor, how can we solve for this then? How can we have conversations that are effective, that can actually get something done? And the answer is easy.

Ban guns.

On October 4, 2026, Breitbart News pointed to reports indicating alleged Somali gang-related gunfire broke out at Eden Prairie High School in a Minneapolis suburb Friday around 9:00 p.m.

A news release from the Eden Prairie Police Department said two Somali males were injured during the shooting, one of whom was 17 and the second of whom was 18. The injuries they sustained were not life-threatening.

Well it took long enough

 

Ron DeSantis, Florida Cabinet Declare CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as Terrorist Groups.

“The designations will also apply to more than 90 organizations already listed as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and his cabinet have declared CAIR, the Muslim Brotherhood, and Antifa as terrorist groups, along with a host of others, under a new law that took effect over the summer.

 

From CBS News:

DeSantis, Florida Cabinet designate more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations

Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet on Tuesday voted to designate more than 90 groups as terrorist organizations, and a legal challenge is already in the works seeking to block the move.

With little comment from the state panel and no public testimony, the Cabinet voted to apply domestic or foreign terrorist designations to a series of groups, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Muslim Brotherhood and antifa.

The designations will also apply to more than 90 organizations already listed as foreign terrorist organizations by the U.S. government, including the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

Under a new law, HB 1471, that took effect July 1, CAIR filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida in Tallahassee, contending that DeSantis is violating the First Amendment and the due process clause of the 14th Amendment.

Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU National Security Project, said attorneys intend to file a motion Thursday on behalf of CAIR-Florida seeking a preliminary injunction against the designation.

“There is nowhere in that notice any allegation or evidence that CAIR has engaged in any violent or dangerous act in violation of Florida or U.S. law,” Shamsi said Tuesday outside the Cabinet meeting. “And that’s the first requirement for something as serious as this.”

 

The reaction from the left is exactly what you would expect.

This is from The New Republic:

Ron DeSantis Goes Full Islamophobe With New Terrorist Designation

From here on out, a civil rights group will receive the same treatment in Florida as the likes of Al Qaeda and ISIS.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced Tuesday the implementation of the “anti-sharia law” he signed earlier this year, officially designating 90 groups as terrorist organizations, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, the largest Muslim advocacy group in the nation.

Florida’s authority on the matter superseded the State Department, which does not list CAIR as a terrorist organization, thanks to a state law (H.B. 1471) that went into effect in July. That allowed Florida’s domestic security chief to officially identify terrorist organizations without the involvement of the federal government.

The state government proceeded with the matter without input from the public.

The Muslim Brotherhood and antifa also received the terror group designation. Other groups targeted by the action include the Venezuelan crime syndicate Tren de Aragua, two Mexican drug cartels, and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran.

May they freak out so far as to go into a permanent vegetative state.

Gun Control Activists Freak Out Over ATF’s Plan to Destroy Old Records

Gun tracing is one of those things that no one paid much attention to until privately made firearms became a lot more common. Then, one defense for attempted bans was that tracing these firearms would be impossible, that bad people would get them, and that we wouldn’t be able to track them down.

Spare me.

But now The Smoking Gun, which is a mouthpiece for Everytown for Gun Safety, is beating the tracing drum again, this time to attack a move by the ATF.

ATF practice has always been to keep out-of-business dealer records indefinitely. But in its “Firearm Records Retention Periods” rule, the ATF is proposing — for the first time ever — to destroy those records either 20 or 30 years after they were turned over to the agency. The ATF’s offered justification for this change is to “significantly reduce the volume of records retained by ATF and alleviate concerns that ATF might have established or will establish a registry of firearms, firearm owners, or firearms transactions.”

The ATF proposal would also allow gun dealers that remain in business to destroy sales and inventory records after 20 or 30 years because “[r]educing the records retention period for licensee [records] from permanent to 20 or 30 years would benefit” federal firearms licensees, or FFLs. The rule would even go so far as allowing gun makers to destroy their disposition records after 20 or 30 years, meaning no one would have any idea what happened to a gun after it left the factory.

As the ATF explains, the record retention requirement for dealers has changed a few times over the last few decades. Prior to 1985, dealers were required to keep all inventory and sales records permanently until they went out of business. The requirement was changed in 1985 to mandate keeping records for 20 years, then was changed back to permanent retention in 2022. The ATF explained at the time that requiring permanent retention of such records was justified “[g]iven advancements in electronic scanning and storage technology, ATF’s acceptance of electronic recordkeeping, the reduced costs of storing firearm transaction records, the increased durability and longevity of firearms, and the public safety benefits of ensuring that records of active licensees are available for tracing purposes.” In its current proposal, the ATF fails to explain how all of these reasons for permanent record retention have disappeared in just four years.


Maybe because the reasons were BS in the first place?

See, writer Chelsea Parsons is very upset that these guns will no longer be traceable because of this rule change, but that’s really a case of “tell me you know nothing about gun tracing without telling me you know nothing about gun tracing.

The way gun tracing works is that when a firearm is recovered at a crime scene, the authorities use the tracing to determine who bought it originally. They can reach out to the manufacturer, who tells them which distributor bought it, who then tells them which gun store it was sold to, and finally the gun store says, “Yeah, Joe Smith bought this in 2016.”

That’s it.

It doesn’t magically tell them who has the gun now.

Even with states that have mandatory background checks on all gun transfers, it still doesn’t do much, because if the previous owner has moved, particularly out of state, or died, there’s no way to pick up where that trail might go. Plus, no one is required to remember which store they went to, which means another dead end.

Then, the moment a gun is stolen or illegally transferred in some other way, the chain is broken yet again.

In other words, tracing is a thing, but there’s little evidence I’ve seen that it’s actually solved any crime anywhere. Some have actively looked and been unable to find them.

That was always the case, and it’s why those supposed reasons no longer apply. It was because it was a wish for the anti-gunners, the same people that Parsons fails to acknowledge as a real threat to our gun rights, as she pretends our concerns about a national registry, even if it weren’t called such, were nothing more than gun group fearmongering.

TRUST IN GOD AND KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY

Exposing the Gun Control Industry’s Financiers: The Joyce Foundation.

NSSF launched a new campaign this year called Gun Rights Insights. The goal is to drag the big money donors that fuel the gun control campaign into the sunlight. No more hiding behind veils and in corporate boardroom ivory towers.

Gun Rights Insights pulls back the curtain to show that the gun control agenda is nothing more than an astroturf agenda living off the funding and the backing of a few billionaires and progressive activist foundations flooding the field with waves of cash, up to $400 million annually.

With this money, they buy influence, media airtime and followers who buy into the false narrative that surrendering God-given rights will make America safer while they surround themselves with armed security in gated compounds.

Gun Rights Insights previously exposed antigun billionaire Michael Bloomberg, George Soros and Hollywood A-list celebrities.

Allow Gun Rights Insights to introduce…The Joyce Foundation.

Who They Are

The Joyce Foundation, based in Chicago, was founded by Beatrice Joyce Kean in 1948, the heiress of an Iowa lumber executive. They now pitch the foundation as a “private, nonpartisan philanthropy that invests in public policies and strategies to advance racial equity and economic mobility for the next generation in the Great Lakes region.”

Founder Kean passed away in 1972, leaving 90 percent of her estate — or $120 million — to the foundation, according to InfluenceWatch, a watchdog group run by the Capital Research Center. Soon after, The Joyce Foundation shifted focus to include government policies. Notably, they target gun control with a board comprised of anti-gun activists.

Chief of among those steering The Joyce Foundation’s work was President Barack Obama, who was on the foundation’s board of directors from 1994–2002, before he entered public life. President Obama espoused strict gun control, calling for a ban on modern sporting rifles, America’s most-popular selling centerfire rifle. He also demanded a national firearm registry through a universal background check scheme.

Valerie Jarrett was a former senior advisor to President Obama and is currently the CEO of the Obama Foundation. She’s a former board member of The Joyce Foundation.

Today, other members of his White House still serve on The Joyce Foundation’s board. Margot Rogers, was the Chief of Staff to the Obama administration’s U.S. Department of Education Secretary Arne Duncan. Today, Rogers is The Joyce Foundation’s Chair of the Board. The Vice Chair of the Board is filled by Tracey Maeres, who was on President Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing. Cecilia Munoz served eight years in the Obama administration, including five years leading the White House Domestic Policy Council. Today, Munoz is a board member for the Joyce Foundation.

Anti-gunners Hilariously Claim the CDC is Wrong, the Gun Violence Archive is Right

By Lee Williams

The Trace, the propaganda arm of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s gun control empire, moved a story Monday that has caused a bit of laughter—actually, a lot of laughter.

“Inflated Claim About Guns and Self-Defense Returns to CDC Website” claims that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, better known as the CDC, estimates “a range of 60,000 to 2.5 million defensive gun uses each year.”

“The change reflects the Trump administration’s staunch Second Amendment advocacy, putting the president in lockstep with a gun lobby that’s long promoted the idea that a ‘good guy with a gun’ is the only thing that can stop a ‘bad guy with a gun,’” wrote reporter Jennifer Mascia.

Ms. Mascia describes herself as “a senior news writer and founding staffer at The Trace. She previously reported on gun violence at The New York Times and was a contributor to CNN’s Guns in America team.”

Whom does Ms. Mascia use to call out the CDC and the Trump administration for publishing this inaccuracy? Well, it’s none other than the Gun Violence Archive and its leader, Mark Bryant.

Looks like it is time to once again post my A to Z Guide to Anti-Gun Vulture Talking Points!

A. Gun owners are never trained enough so are dangerous and shouldn’t be armed at all.

B. Gun owners who do train are crazy psychos living out their wannabe fantasies itching to shoot someone.

C. Even though it takes orders of magnitude more effort to become marginally effective with martial arts than a gun, you are better off using martial arts and not having a gun.

D. *Real Men* use their hands. This is why your mom and grandma shouldn’t have guns either.

E. Twitter randos who have never been punched in the face are experts on real life violence, and whatever you have personally experienced doesn’t count.

F. No matter how trained you are, it is never enough for the hypothetical attacker they make up. Sure, your concealed handgun might be enough to stop a regular robber or rapist, but what about if you get attacked by 20 Chechen terrorists with AKs, huh? Huh? (we call this the Dracula Riding Godzilla rule)

G. If the anti-gun vulture was ever in the military, this makes them a Military Trained Expert. Even though most of the time this means they got to put 20 rounds through an M-16 once in 1992.

H. No matter how many certified MMA bad asses or combat vets go “lol wut, dork? I’d rather have a gun.” the anti-gun Twitter vulture will remain undeterred.

I. Goldilocks Rules apply. No matter how much you know about guns, you’re either too ignorant and dangerous, or you know too much and that makes you dangerous. Whatever amount the anti-gun zealot knows is Just Right.

K. Whatever stats they pull out are sacrosanct. If you cite any numbers they reflexively scream “SOURCE?!” and then have some reason they won’t accept that source when provided. “The actual FBI Crime Statistics? LAME!”

L. At some point they’ll need to talk about how big our penises are, because guns are for compensation. Obviously the female gun owners are compensating for their tiny uteruses.

M. “I believe in the Second Amendment BUUUUUUUUT-” (insert statist BS here)

N. If you insist on using terms correctly and words having actual definitions, clearly this demonstrates you are a fanatic. Words mean whatever they need to mean in that moment, especially legal ones.

O. “Castle Doctrine” is a secret right wing code word that means that you can just shoot whoever you want.

P. Get ready for a history lesson about “what the founders really intended” from some dummy who was stoned through every history class in high school.

Q. Everybody knows big blue cities are way safer than the scary red state flyover country.

R. Gun control isn’t racist! Sure, historical gun control was all about keeping guns out of the hands of the “undesirables” like freed slaves, Indians, and the Irish, but that’s totally different now!

S. AR-15s are the most dangerous gun that’s ever existed. It can fire ten thousand ultra deadly murder bullets a second and each one can explode a moose from a thousand yards away. There is nothing this miracle death machine can’t do.

T. lol your AR-15s are utterly useless against a tyrannical government.

U. The NRA is an all-powerful, super evil entity which has tricked innocent Americans into wanting ultra deadly assault rifles, to satisfy their incessant blood lust. They do this through their ultra powerful marketing, like giving out free hats.

V. Anti-gun organizations are all totally innocent grass roots movements made up of moms, orphans, and kittens, funded entirely by bake sales, who just want the best for all Americans.

W. “I grew up around guns” makes you an unassailable subject matter expert on the topic.

X. The gun industry is made up of giant soulless mega corporations who make trillions of dollars off of selling Glocks to preschoolers. This message was brought to you by benevolent small businesses like the six companies that own most of the world’s media.

Y. Even though everything the anti-gunner proposes is ass backwards and would just make the problems they are crying about worse, and everywhere they get their way good people are disarmed while evil doers are empowered…they CARE HARDER than we do. So we’re the real bad guys.

Z. “You sound angry.”

Don’t DSA the USA, Protect Liberty to Stop Communism

By Larry Keane

There’s a dark mood creeping into American politics that has even the most die-hard gun control politicians worried. Democrats, typically (but not always) aligned with gun control, are facing the prospect of their political party turning their gaze to complete control.

Enter the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

These candidates for political office aren’t your grandfather’s Democrats or even limousine liberals. They can’t even honestly call themselves socialists. They’re cosplaying communists who are shredding any pretense of respect or admiration for the U.S. Constitution.

This is what George Orwell warned of in his novel, “1984.” They want complete and total control of the American government, including openly calling for abolishing of the U.S. Constitution, tearing down the balance of powers between the three branches of government, destroying of Department of War and most ominously, seizing the “resources and production.”

Make no mistake. Controlling the firearm and ammunition industry would be on the top of that list.

Who is the DSA?

The DSA has been making waves by striking out against Democratic candidates in primaries. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Most notably, disgraced former Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate, Graham Platner, the fabled “oyster farmer” whose scandal-ridden past finally crashed his run for office, is an avowed member of the DSA.

But Platner wasn’t democratic by any means. He was full-on Communist. That was uncovered in his previous online postings, which he attempted to delete. Holding his hand the whole way along was U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.). That’s the same Sen. Sanders who honeymooned in Moscow in 1988, while the Communist Soviet Union was still in power.

Platner’s rise and inglorious immolation only emboldened members of the DSA. More candidates are on tickets in New York, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Florida, Michigan and Wisconsin. Democrats, who are notoriously anti-Second Amendment, are suddenly finding themselves having to defend against a communist flank in their own party.

That should concern everyone who believes the U.S. Constitution is the founding document that guides America’s form of government and protects Second Amendment rights. The DSA’s party platform essentially calls to tear it all down. They would burn it to rule over the ashes.

DSA Platform

The DSA’s platform includes abolition of the U.S. Senate (sorry, Sen. Sanders for losing your job), replacing the President of the United States and U.S. Supreme Court with an Executive and Judicial Branch that would be subordinate to what’s left of Congress.

That’s not reforming the U.S. Constitution. That’s complete annihilation of it. The first three articles of the U.S. Constitution set up the federal government’s Legislative, Executive and Judicial Branches. Each branch is co-equal and is a check and balance on the other.

The DSA would give their new form of government complete authority, with the Executive and Judiciary subservient to the authority of what’s left of the Legislative Branch. It’s spelled out in their platform where they call for “a new democratic constitution.”

The DSA platform also espouses seizing control of the means of production. The DSA’s Constitution & Bylaws state in Article II that “We are socialists because we share a vision of a humane social order based on popular control of resources and production…”

Further, in 2018, the DSA explicitly called for the repeal of the Second Amendment, stating, “… the only way to guarantee that we will dramatically reduce acts of violence involving guns is to remove guns from society…” The DSA called for adoption of a 28th Amendment, repealing the Second Amendment and the prohibiting of “manufacturing, transportation or importation in or into any State, Territory, or possession of the United States for delivery or use therein of pump-action, semi-automatic or automatic firearms.”

That’s not just ending an individual right to keep and bear commonly-owned firearms (the DSA would “allow” individuals to maintain ownership of single-shot firearms), it means the DSA would seize control of the firearm and ammunition industry, since the DSA platform calls for “popular control of resources and production.”

That’s full-on communism, which is marked by brutal violence.

Is China Also Meddling in Second Amendment Fight?

I do not hate any groups of people because of where they come from, what their ancestors did, or anything beyond their own actions as individuals, which might then land them in a group that I hate. People who hurt others, especially children, for example.

But I don’t blink about hating governments, and China has been a special case in my mind for years.

On Thursday night, President Donald Trump took to (most of) the airwaves to announce some disturbing evidence regarding China and its attempts to meddle in the 2020 election.

Considering Trump and his election integrity fight, I understand him bringing it up, though the American Left is looking at the same evidence we are and claiming it’s nonsense, as is the fact that American intelligence personnel downplayed the threat.

What I got out of that, though, beyond the obvious, was a reminder of how China isn’t just meddling in our elections. As a nation, I honestly believe they are trying to destabilize us entirely. It’s speculation on my part, to be sure, but let me put it out there for your consideration.

First, let’s talk about so-called Glock switches.

These devices have been around for decades, but were just some obscure toy that only a handful of people ever got to lay eyes on. Then, a few years ago, they started showing up on American streets. They were thrown on the back of Glocks and similar firearms, then used to spray rounds throughout our inner cities.

While these can be printed domestically, a large number of the devices recovered come from Chinese manufacturers. They’re then shipped into the United States, often with some ridiculous nomenclature that obscures what they really are, and then end up in the hands of some of the worst people in our communities.

Meanwhile, what is China doing? They’re using their own English-language media outlets to pretend that gun rights are a human rights violation. In light of these two facts, their concern rings extra hollow.

But it’s easy to dismiss Chinese media as propaganda because that’s what it is.

However, in his speech, President Trump also alleged that China intended to pay American “journalists” large sums of money to amp up the criticism against the president in their work. Yes, this is a violation of journalistic ethics, but how many will figure that they’re just being paid to say the same thing they always would?

To be clear, I’m not sure if any accepted the offers or if the offers were actually made. That information didn’t seem to make it into any of the coverage of the recently declassified documents.

Yet, if they would do it about elections, might they also pay journalists to ramp up the pressure for gun control? What about using a billionaire and his network of NGOs to fund anti-gun organizations?

After all, China does not benefit from a strong United States. It wants to be the dominant power in the world, and we stand in the way of that. Even if there’s never been any discussion of invading the American mainland, thus needing gun control to minimize the risk to Chinese troops, the gun control debate creates a kind of pressure point that can be exploited.

Especially if gun confiscation were to ever come to pass in a meaningful way.

At that point, the United States would explode into civil war. Our ability to project power abroad has to be drawn down while we deal with such massive destabilization domestically. China, naturally, would fill in the gap.

Look, I’m not saying this is happening. Again, this is speculation, but it’s not something I pulled out of the ether, either. There’s evidence they’ve tried this with our elections, for crying out loud. Influencing a political debate would be trivial by comparison.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about the need to preserve all the things that matter. Not just items or ideas, but skills and competencies. Above all of that, though, there’s a profound need to protect the United States and our basic civil liberties, for which the Second Amendment stands as the insurance policy for all the others.

China is a global threat, and nothing that the president said downplays that in the least. The question is, what else are they meddling with while no one is or was willing to pay attention?
