“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
It is no secret that the democrats want to strip Americans of their Second Amendment right.
And though it hasn’t happened thus far, Joe Biden apparently isn’t ruling out using executive orders to crackdown on the right to bear arms.
The topic was discussed during a White House press briefing on Tuesday, in response to a statement that Biden put out last week calling to ban semi-automatic firearms, along with other gun control measures.
When asked for a time-frame on when action will be taken, to no surprise Jen Psaki did not have a straightforward answer.
“Well, we haven’t proposed a package at this point,” Psaki said. “So it’s hard for me to make a prediction about its likelihood of passing. But I will say that the president is somebody throughout his career who has advocated for smart gun safety measures. He is not afraid of standing up to the NRA. He’s done it multiple times and won on background checks and a range of issues. And it is a priority to him on a personal level, but I don’t have a prediction for you, or preview for you on a timeline of a package, and certainly not what it will look like and how it goes through Congress.”
Later in the press conference, a reporter asked Psaki about whether or not Biden plans to take executive action on gun control.

Constitution being overthrown by an EO, not going to happen!!
National Guard in my state would side with the people - since their families are our neighbors.
This could get interesting. Under the KungFlu lockdown orders issued by governors, a large proportion of county sheriffs have refused to play, even in liberal states. They're the ones who know the territory and the people, and are elected and answerable directly to the people.
They also issue any permits and conduct all the training. They are hugely pro-2A. The state police would have a very difficult time acting on their own. They are spread very thin. And never mind the FIB.
Sheriffs and their deputies have a lot of toys nowadays, too.
I looked at this thread but didn’t find any discussion of the comma that doesn’t conform to punctuation rules. It IS in the original. I looked.
I would hope the same here. Interesting that all of the red state NGs were recalled but the blue staters are left behind to “guard” the Capital. Makes you wonder if they can connect the dots.
And still ...................... nothing.
And, that individual right really means something when combined with the right to discuss defensive measures and to organize into informal militia for self-defense. Every word of the 2nd Amendment is critical. Think BLM attacking your neighborhood and being met by a group of neighbors who know what’s going on, as opposed to individual strangers.
“The only way I see to prevent this is for every gun owner to link up long before they come knocking on your door, and make changes in your local government and law enforcement.”
Exactly right. Then knock on the doors of the gun-grabbers and take their arms.
Screw em.
Your comment is the best and most accurate of all.
The Second Amendment is in jeopardy only because of the fecklessness of the GOP.
Useless bastards!
My advice to you is
>bury your guns
>hie thee to a state where a callup has taken place (instead of bugging out to the woods with the idiots)
Gov. De Santis has already expressed a willingness to defy unconstitutional decrees and could easily raise 2 million militia volunteers - but we would welcome refugee volunteers from states with leftist governors.
I’m pretty sure a local with 2 guns will loan you one.
An alternative for you is seek refuge in a county where the sheriff has issued a call for volunteers - that affords you some claim to being well regulated militia, and some protection from being rousted at 4am by the ATF.
Ammo. Yeah, right....
What about the trillions of rounds already in the hands of the citizens? Until we start firing it won’t matter - we still have trillions of rounds of munitions.
And when we do start firing what will they do - unleash the Army? We have way more than the Army does and there is no way in hell WMD’s would be used against the Citizen.
Every encroachment must quickly go to court.
Amarillo.
The US military, National Guard, Police number about 2,500,000 men. That is two million five hundred thousand.
VS.
20,000,000 civilian semi-auto rifle owners, ( that is twenty million semi auto rifle owners) and maybe 75 million other firearm owners, and over 400,000,000 firearms out there. 250,000,000 high cap magazines in private hands.
And the government thinks they can “regulate” that?
Inventory your guns. Find which ones they can trace and which ones were bought or traded before the 1968 Gun control act.
We’re probably siblings ‘under the skin’.
But the original document appears to include the two commas:
http://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/bill-of-rights-transcript
(but that doesn’t give YOU the right to play willy-nilly with semicolons whenever you please...)
“National Guard in my state would side with the people - since their families are our neighbors.”
Once federalized NG troops must obey the president’s orders.
Otherwise they could be executed on the spot for treason - the leftist commanders appointed by Biden would cheerfully have them shot.
They would have to desert.
BINGO!!!!
