(from preparedgunowner.com) [Ed: Dr. Petrocelli plans to write Virginia state legislators along these lines about the perversions inherent in Red Flag laws. This is a good example of necessary citizen involvement with otherwise clueless and self-absorbed government representatives.] I am writing to you to ask that you consider the following information before taking action on any so-called “Red Flag law.”  (more…)

(from mid-day.com With all due respect to Henny Youngman, King of the One-Liners, I mean exactly that in certain cases. We fight hard against any form of confiscation that denies us our natural right to keep and bear arms in self-defense. That includes opposing all the “red flag” laws so far enacted and proposed. None incorporate adequate or timely due process, and all can and will be abused by government and acquaintances to harass innocent subjects. This is already happening, and one m...

[Ed: Dr. Faria originally published this December 16 on his website, Hacienda Publishing. His is an extraordinary story, standing for liberty throughout his career, carrying on a proud family commitment. Formatted for DRGO.] I was born in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba in 1952. Sancti Spiritus and the surrounding area have been traditionally hot beds for revolution. The Escambray Mountains are in the vicinity, which rebels notoriously used for guerrilla warfare. That same year (1952) Fulgencio Ba...

(from alamy.com) [Ed: The fight for our rights is coming to a peak in Richmond. Monday January 20 is going to be the end of the beginning, and far from beginning of the end. To all who will be there---Thank you! Our man in Virginia, Dennis Petrocelli, has been a big part of the action and will be at the Capital with 2A allies from all over the country. Here, he describes how important this battle is and how it began, in the only proper form for an historic . . . epic.] . . (more...

(from patriotgunnews.com) If the Bloomberg-financed gun confiscation crowd gets anything right, it is its consistently beguiling messaging. In the same way that The Force in Star Wars bends the will of the weak-minded, confiscationists use language that requires us first to disabuse the public of their empty rhetoric before we can actually discuss the facts about firearms. In Virginia, the General Assembly has become not just a gun-free zone, but also a “fact-free zone,” rife with ad ho...

(from AP.com) [Ed: My apologies! This article, lightly edited here, was authored by John Boch & first posted January 1 at TheTruthAboutGuns. Thank you to Dan Zimmerman, TTAG's editor, for alerting me and to Dr. Margulies who called it to my attention but never intended to take credit for it.] The United Nations has a lot of job openings listed on their UN Careers website. Among them is this: Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration officers who will work under the UN’s Departme...

(from coloribus.com) Those who seek to disarm us have an uncanny ability to ignore reality.  The Richmond Times Dispatch piece by Josh Horowitz, the executive director of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, plumbs new depths of distortion on the road to the opening of the 2020 Virginia General Assembly, accusing law-abiding gun owners of all manner of mayhem. Unsurprisingly, all the supposed sins of the gun owners were committed instead by his liberal cronies.  (more…)
