U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- “[T]here is a push to pass an ‘assault weapons’ ban via a ballot initiative to amend the State Constitution,” a Monday Florida Shooters Network report warns. “This is being spearheaded by Ban Assault Weapons NOW (BAWN), a bipartisan group of gun-grabbers made up of Republican and Democrat authoritarians that want to see Floridians disarmed.”
“BAWN has partnered with the prominent Republican donor Al Hoffman and his gun-control-advocacy organization, Americans for Gun Safety Now!, which is made up almost entirely of Republicans who support an assault-weapons ban,” a cited advocacy puff piece masked as political reporting from The Atlantic notes. Here is what they want to do, at least for now:
“BAWN’s assault-weapons ban, which exempts military or law-enforcement members, would make possession of the defined weapons a third-degree felony. It would also give Floridians who already own these weapons a year to register them before their possession becomes illegal.”
And, of course, once registered, why should we believe the people who want them banned won’t press for Phase Two?
So who are these “Republicans”?
On the political scene, as the saying goes, follow the money”
“Hoffman also made waves on his own in March by publicly pledging to donate money only to Republicans who supported banning assault weapons—leading him to back only two candidates in 2018, Brian Mast and Carlos Curbelo.”
True, they’re congressmen and this is a state measure, but they head the list of “prominent” names demanding a Florida ban, and you know they’d do the same to the rest of the Republic if they could. Cases in point, Mast co-sponsored a Democrat “raise the age” bill on semi-auto rifles, and Curbelo is a proven Bloomberg lackey.
As for state-level politicians, we can return the Florida Shooters Network report:
“Senate President Bill Galvano (R) wrote the gun control bill that was signed into law by Governor Rick Scott last year and he even took $200k from Bloomberg’s Everytown Gun Control Group. As Senate President, he isn’t clamping down on fellow Republicans that support gun control because he’s a gun control supporter himself. The House isn’t any better since House Speaker Jose Oliva gave Galvano’s SB 7026 a standing ovation when it passed last year and he’s doing much the same.”
“Who else are they going to vote for?” the late Lee Atwater, former head of the Republican National Committee is reputed to have asked about gun owners. Whether the attribution is true or not, that’s the type of arrogant attitude some of us have seen play out over the years, and for good reason as far as turncoats are concerned. If there’s no cost to pay for betrayal what can’t they get away with, especially with so-called “pragmatic” apologists offering lesser-of-two-evil excuses to rationalize being cuckolds? If that sounds harsh, face it — that’s exactly what a gun owner who “forgives” an unrepentant cheater is setting himself up to be.
“But if you don’t vote for them a Democrat will win, and they’ll be even worse!” we are warned. Hey, we wouldn’t be in this mess if people would have insisted on principles from the very beginning. And now we’re expected to believe our only way out is to continue enabling the enemies inside the gates?
The only way to stop Republican infidelity is to show the GOP that betrayal will not be rewarded. If it takes them losing a seat here or there, they’ll ultimately get the message.
“But if the Democrats win, we’ll lose our gun rights!” is the typical rejoinder. What those bleating that really mean is they’ll surrender theirs. If all it takes to eradicate the right to keep and bear arms is the passage of a law or a ballot measure, then the Second Amendment isn’t worth the parchment it’s written on.
What BAWN and Principle-Devoid Republicans for Tyranny fail to recognize is that in spite of their wretched subversions, there’s one inconvenient truth they’ll ultimately need to deal with:
WE WILL NOT DISARM.
About David Codrea:
David Codrea is the winner of multiple journalist awards for investigating/defending the RKBA and a long-time gun owner rights advocate who defiantly challenges the folly of citizen disarmament.
He blogs at “The War on Guns: Notes from the Resistance,” is a regularly featured contributor to Firearms News, and posts on Twitter: @dcodrea and Facebook.
Their not gonna stop until they get what they want, until we the people make the change happen, and as we already seen, its not gonna happen at the polls…
“This” happening is what I have been saying all along on these ‘blogs”. “Party” does NOT matter anymore. The “democrat” party is LONG DEAD and had been “morphed” into the COMMUNIST PARTY (lets call a spade, a spade) MOST of The “republican” party have turned into the same, due to GREED, “FEAR” of losing out of “their share” and their hunger for more POWER and Control. It is NOW a “power struggle” to see who gets the most TAXPAYER MONEY. Only the retention of the “status-quo”, POWER, CONTROL, and those all-precious TAXPAYER DOLLARS is what “matters” to the corrupt SCUM… Read more »

Well the dead at, Aurora Il. are not even in the morgue yet and the second amendment hating crowd and those of that mentality, are already screaming for more gun control, all over the radio and television and print media, AHHH, but this was to be expected, as that is their Modus Operandi, (method of operation) News article “Never Give Up Your Guns”
https://freesites.ourchurch.com/a/AncientHebrewScriptures/?page_id=86
Codrea is completely correct. The only way to make sure the GOP stays pro gun is taking political power away from the turncoat traitors. If that means losing an election in the short term, then so be it. The GOP turncoats will eventually stab us in the back anyway unless they absolutely fear crossing the grass roots by supporting gun bans.
Doesn’t anyone think it is a bit odd that humans look for every opportunity to screw over each other for personal gain, regardless of whether it is for considered safety reasons or resource accumulation. Those RINOs need to be reminded of their OATH and RESPONSIBILITIES to the American people. REMEMBER THIS MY FRIENDS, THE MAJORITY OF OUR AMERICAN POPULATION ARE NOT CALLING FOR THE REMOVAL OF SUPPOSED ASSAULT WEAPONS.

Well Mr. Rumple, you couldn’t be more wrong about Christanity. Real Christanity relies on God not man. Read the books of Romans, Proverbs and Hebrews. And by the way, Jesus Christ Himself said sell your coat and buy a sword for protection. In other words, human life is valuable, protect it, even if taking someone else’s life is necessary. There is no sin in saving your life or your family’s or a strangers if it is warranted.

There comes a time when the rubber must meet the road and it is that I believe all politicians must take a competency exam upon signing up to be put on the ballet. If they don’t receive a passing grade they don’t get to run for a political office regardless of whether it is for a City, a County, a State, or for a federal Congressional position. We can no longer accept decision makers who are as radical or stupid as is Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi. They must also change the Oath, which now reads as follows: “I, (name),do… Read more »

Nothing wrong being a felon. The problem start is when you get caught. That the practice elected senate and congress have. That goes for the states and county’s to. Strange how a election will cost 5millon dollars to win a seat tha payed 175k . Stay in office 6 years and most become millionaires. You do the maths. Never give up your weapons . Try to find the courage to fight and make the ultimate sacrifice.
The Bottom line is this is not a Democracy, its a constitutional republic no matter what those pigs have to say about it. They have not been given the authority to pass any kind of gun law. The original constitution was a contract for services. How did this government whos jurisdiction is 10 square miles in D.C., a few islands and military installations end up telling its creator “we the People” what to do? There will come a time when we all are going to have to decide if this Republic is worth putting our lives on the line for.… Read more »
No one should ever be surprised by the relentless attack on a free people much less an armed nation. This is the single greatest threat to any communist government. The people posing as the US government obviously feel threatened. Think about the rise of the socialist (called “democrat”) party since the sheeple started electing them into office. The dumbing down of these sheeple through public indoctrination (called education) has worked brilliantly. We have the greatest number of people ever who are all for giving up the constitution in favor of government supplied “security” for their lives. I don’t know if… Read more »
How refreshing to see David’s no-nonsense thoughts on RKBA issues. This is a pleasant break from the idiotic ramblings of the NRA apologist who I used to frequently see on Ammoland, who, by his picture, looked as though he and David Hogg might have been best buds or something.
Civil war is inevitable. I will not comply, I will not surrender or register any weapons. Republicans have always sold out gun owners.
Won’t be another Civil War, there’s too many other ways the Gov. can & will control you. You can’t compete with their might, but maybe for 15 minutes of Fame (WACO, Ruby Ridge)….Just say’in.
The ubiquitous coward’s copout. “They’re going to anally rape me anyway, so I might as well grab my ankles and enjoy it.”
How long has the US been Afghanistan? How are things going there again?
@APatriot, Your conclusion is correct. The governments have secure comms, organization, logistics, and a plan called “Continuation of Government” (COG). COG contemplates government survival in the face of every possible attack, foreign or domestic. The plan for survival does not include the ordinary American.
We are not in a position to prosecute violent civil war, yet! What ever We the people do, it must be a complete surprise. Something that the bureaucrats have not, yet, thought about. Operational security must be maintained by use of one man cells. The kill ratio must be in the tens of millions.
This is why the 2A calls for a WELL REGULATED MILITIA. Under article 1 section 8 congress is: “To provide for organizing, arming,and disciplining the militia and for governing such PART of them as may be employed in the service of the United States reserving to the states respectively,”. Further reading is necessary to get full comprehension but I ask, has congress been fulfilling their duty to ensure the (common citizen)people are secure in their arms and receive support, training and supplies to fulfill their duty? Maybe I have misunderstood what this section is commanding them to do?
You seem to count on that same political system to end the hacks to execute these scumbags and take our freedom back wake up there is no let someone else do it. We must all stand up to this tyrannical system of government.
When the jackboots assigned to raid and confiscate weapons under the pending Oregon statutes come calling to my home, I will not surrender my weapons, warrants notwithstanding. That will make me a criminal, a retired Marine wounded warrior, and federal officer with no blemishes on my record, a CCW permittee, etc. Mr. Clean, in other words. I hope that others in Oregon will take note, and perhaps, will step out of the shadows, step up, and support resistance when this begins. Otherwise, they will be emboldened, and start picking us off, one by one. Strength in numbers will never mean… Read more »
You are spot on Marine…About 5 years ago I suggested that local Tea Groups and Gun Lovers other, get together, buy Tracphones, load them up and have a central figure put 10-20 preloaded numbers in each one. Of course no 10 or 20 would be the same. Load a text message for this “One by One’ emergency you just mentioned, and at the least, the person being raided would have witnesses.
@GregK and OAM, The more witnesses and evidence the bigger the pay out! Should have an attorney specializing in criminal law on the speed dial, as well.
In my brief stint with Tea Teams, I was attempting to find news outlets favorable to our cause. Before we marched on Seattle, I was looking for group spokes people, and to make those banners that go all the way across the street.
Clear back when I suggested the phone thing it was spawned by a thread on Teaparty.org…”Civil War, is it coming in the US?” There were some great ideas forwarded by people. Maybe we should revisit that thread?
@Greg K, Teaparty.org. OK what should I look for when I get there?
Wild Bill, I searched “Civil War” in the command center search bar and it turns out that there are several threads on it. I don’t remember the exact title, but it was something like “Civil War; is it coming to America?”

It is unsettling to find more comments than action regarding the gun issue. I agree and support the arguement that numbers standing together can/will do more. However, when we do stand, several will be singled out. A massive raid engaged upon them as an example. Forcing us to take action. Physical, armed action. The next question is, WHO will be the ‘authority’ to carry out engaging us? UN/NATO? Finding and implementing a full scale united stand, (we are several million strong folks) getting in the face of the Pelosi’s in gov’t is required. Some method of clearly stating, WE AREN’T… Read more »
The only thing David left out in this useless diatribe against Florida gun owners is the much overused “cold dead hands” line. His notion that Florida gun owners should vote for Democrats in the next election is patently stupid — yes, I said stupid because there is no other word for this nonsense. Sorry, David, but if you want to stay in the game you have to play the cards you are dealt — and in an election that almost always does mean voting for the ‘lesser of two evils.’ Where Florida gun owners need to make their stand is… Read more »
So, tell me Tom – if the winner of the primary is the same Republican who has been screwing gun owners all along, you think it makes sense to vote for him again? If so, you certainly are not as bright as David. He understands a fact you either don’t know or have forgotten. Allow a Democrat to be elected, kicking out the RINO who has been screwing you, will get the attention of the next Republican who runs for that office. It only takes one loss of a seat to get the attention of the state GOP, and have… Read more »

The parties don’t care about the electorate, they just care about making their cronies rich who then turn around and keep them in office with donations. The democrats figured this out years ago and ever since then will pass any law to keep the masses in control – it is just dawning on the republicans who no longer… Read more »

The agenda is to rule with the least threat of resistance from the ruled. By the way, that is everybody else, including their servants.

Florida does have it’s problems and one of them is called snowbirds. Those noreasterners that have gone to the sunshine state to escape the commies in the states they were from are a problem because they took the attitudes with them that they ran away from. Another thing, the shooting at Parkland brought this to a head. Think about it, the FBI dropped the ball, the local sheriff dropped the ball numerous times and it wasn’t their job to go in and save the kids. Why in God’s name would you want to be disarmed in a place that is… Read more »
Most snow birds were not fleeing oppressive state laws. That is their culture. They were fleeing weather in winter and taxes. They bring their p-poor attitudes with them. They just don’t change spots at those ages. We see the same thing in Texas with the Cali trash infesting Austin (only those are the young techie types).
Nog, it is happening everywhere. I lived in Oregon for twelve years, but the old hippies who took over the state government, along with a slew of new voters from California, started passing a lot of gun control laws. Here in Montana, a lot of Californians have moved into our cities (large towns, compared to real cities) and they are trying to change our good gun laws here. We’ve got some really good people who work hard to get good gun laws passed and bad ones dumped. So far we are holding our own. If we can replace our foul… Read more »
Regretably, Art VI is a tough row to hoe.
Second paragraph specifically states…….”any Thing in the constitution OR LAWS OF ANY STATE to the contrary notwithstanding.”

The only thing fear is losing their power. Elected officials realized that they can dictate the terms of their employment to us – try telling your boss that. The problem is that we have become so complacent or so ignorant that we let both party’s walk all over us. They know and continue to enrich themselves and their friends – screw the voters.
Article VI within the US Constitution trumps State Constitutions and everything else for that matter. All these laws and regulations that disarm citizens are unconstitutional. Hoffman and BAWN are not in good standing with the Supremacy Clause and shall be Defunded, Disbarred, and Discharged from Office!
many (but not all) politicians are like crack-whores, they will do anything. however, crack-whores can be quickly arrested for illegal acts & removed from their place of business.
Gun control is actually people control. Guns don’t kill anyone, evil people kill. Criminals will always have weapons to ply their trade. Why do I carry a weapon??? It’s because a police officer( with a gun) is too heavy to carry.

Yup, the modern day republicans are just as bad as the Democrats, after confirming William Barr they should all be voted out except for Rand Paul.
Also the same thing applies for gun advocacy or rather appeasement groups like the NRA
You mean the Rand Paul that had an amendment to sell off National Forest lands to benefit his rich buddies in Kentucky that want to develop it? Good luck the little guy trying to buy some of that property.
Amazing how fast he pulled it once people found out about it.
Here in Virginia we have a very active pro gun organization called the Virginia Civil Defense League. Which is focused almost entirely on State level gun Issues. At election time, they present a survey to ALL candidates, and publish the results to all VCDL members, thereby exposing where they stand on gun issues. Additionally, they hold a yearly “ Lobby Day “ event in Richmond to confront our respective representatives, personally, to either praise them for their support and actions or take them to task for non support. Most States have similar organizations, so it is incumbent on gun owners… Read more »

TERM LIMITS!
Term limits bring their own challenges, for example it would be easier for the opposition to get a anti-gun candidate in right after a mass incident, where otherwise we could whether the storm with an incumbent.
We HAVE term limits! We have ALWAYS had term limits!! Those term limits are called elections. If you don’t like what an elected politician has done in office, don’t vote for them again. Simple!
JMR pointed out some of the inherent stupidity of the “Term Limits” movement — it will force out good politicians just as quickly as bad politicians. Term limits just mean that you will be choosing between untried candidates based on what they SAY instead of what they have done.
@hotshottertom C, There are no good politicians after they have served a couple of terms. Your argument is built on a false premise.
Elections need not be the only limit on politicians. We the people need to reassert control over our governmental employees because our governmental employees think that they control us. “The Peoples’ Right of Recall” would be another good limit on our governmental employees. And eliminating parties would be a good way to eliminate corruption.
Wild Bill: YOU are the one delivering falsehoods. ‘There are no good politicians after a couple of terms’? Says who? Plus, most states already have recall efforts in place available to the voters. The REAL problem is most citizens can’t be bothered to get off of their collective fat azzes to bother to REGISTER to vote, much less cast a ballot. ‘We have met the enemy and he is us’ – Pogo. P.S. Eliminating political parties? How about the Constitutional right to free assembly?
@"MCCLOUD!", Sez me, based upon fifty years of direct observation, and reading the history of various legislation. Hey, I hear Hennesy is having a sale. You better hustle on down to the liquor store. Then have another touch and go back to sleep.

@WW, The parties are too corrupt to be overcome by responsible voters. And it is obvious that We the People need stronger controls on our governmental employees.
@Billy D. Wallace
Responsible Voters. Mmmhmmmm.
You do realize you are talking about the same people who were eating tide pods as a challenge on the internet right? Relying on the retarded ignorant populace is moronically futile.
This is why we are not a democracy. Our founders set up a republic because they understood that there was a need for restrictions against our government, not just for government itself, but in case the people ever became so lazy that they were to aid tyranny.
I have said this before, very little difference between Republican and Democrat politicians other than party they belong to. It is all about votes and money.
I know it is exausting, but we need to hammer these representatives, ( I use the term lightly) daily.
Anyone remember the Kavanah hearings? I do. That is when the GOP (not talking about “Never Trumpers nor RINOS) showed their TRUE colors – YELLOW. Anyone remember the last mid-term elections? I do. That’s when the GOP betrayed America by allowing the dems to lie, cheat and steal the HOUSE elections with certifiably DEAD and illegal voters. In BOTH cases the GOP was silent/passive.

How do LEOs keep getting exempted from these bans. If the police are sworn to protect and serve, why do they need ‘assault weapons’ with ‘high capacity’ magazines? Are they planning to assault citizens and run up the body count with extra ammo?
Political assasination.
Highly under rated.
Torches, pitchforks and auto rifles!!!!!!!
Police agencies are exempt from the Ban. Individual officers are not.
I Am exempted. Born Exempt 1955. Expires 2???
They already are.
I have noticed that the news media does not refer to AR15 style rifles carried by LEOs as assault weapons. Also, noticed that both the news and LEOs refer to the public as civilians instead of citizens. I to wonder what great hordes do civilian LEOs expect to machine gun. Further wonder who will they be protecting by such slaughter. Several SCOTUS rulings state that LEOs do not have to protect private citizens. Any LEOs oaths to protect and serve, than is not to the public.
Go figure, I am getting afraid to ask.
No points given for extra victims..

@GMB, You have a point. Dangerous, evil ideas are far more hazardous than firearms ever will be.
On the flip side… We should try to turn as many democrats as possible into pragmatists on guns.
Dare to dream FTW. Their science is based in heart felt conjecture. To be a Progressive, they learn to lie to themselves first, everything after that is easy.
Don’t shoot the messenger. This published report shows how our country has shifted its movement for more gun control and responsible gun ownership. How do pro-gun advocates slow down this trend, or reverse it?
Well, you have quite a task on your hands. Suggestions: Lobby, get out and educate the public, host town hall meetings, visit your local government officials, etc. Sitting on the couch on Saturdays drinking cold beer will sunset the 2nd amendment.
