For years, the Seditious Six have marched in lockstep with the most aggressive gun-control lobbies in America \u2014 pushing legislation aimed at <strong>regulating, restricting, or eliminating the firearms owned by millions of peaceful, law-abiding citizens.<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Their \u201cconstitutional\u201d posturing now is not an isolated event. It is the latest escalation in\u00a0<strong>a long, coordinated effort<\/strong>\u00a0to weaken the Second Amendment while hiding behind military credentials and patriotic language.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Here\u2019s the breakdown.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>The Shared Agenda: Every Major Gun-Control Proposal, Straight Down the Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Each member of the Seditious Six has consistently advanced the core priorities of Washington\u2019s gun-control lobby:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Universal Background Checks on All Sales:<\/strong>\u00a0A federal \u201cuniversal\u201d background-check mandate \u2014 including private transfers \u2014 which gun owners correctly view as an undeclared firearm registry.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Red-Flag \/ ERPO Confiscation Orders:<\/strong>\u00a0Seizure of firearms without a criminal conviction, relying on the weakest standard of due process available in civil court. A model ripe for abuse.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Bans on Semi-Automatic Rifles &amp; Standard Magazines:<\/strong>\u00a0Every member supports bans or restrictions targeting the most common modern rifles and magazines in America \u2014 the same rifles used by millions for lawful home defense, hunting, and competition.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Federal Safe-Storage Mandates:<\/strong>\u00a0Government-dictated rules on how Americans store firearms inside their own homes. Noncompliance means punishment; compliance means surrendering personal autonomy to unelected regulators.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Individually, each proposal is bad enough. Taken together, they amount to a\u00a0<strong>federal re-engineering of gun ownership itself<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>And now, with their \u201crefuse illegal orders\u201d stunt, they appear willing to add\u00a0<strong>sedition<\/strong>\u00a0to their portfolio.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>Meet the Seditious Six \u2014 and Their Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Mark Kelly (D-AZ, Senator)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A naval veteran and retired astronaut who has become one of the most consistent anti-gun voices in Washington.
