Defending Your Right to Defend Yourself

MUST WATCH: A strong warning from firearm attorney Tom Grieve on Form 4473 transfers of suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs
Tom Grieve has trusted inside information that some of the anti-gun employees of the DoJ and ATF are planning a “revenge tour” against those individuals, groups, and companies who are taking advantage of the current injunction that allows Form 4473s to be used to purchase suppressors, SBRs, SBSs, and AOWs. The Revenge Tour members are biding their time until a new administration that supports gun-control is in power.

Tom’s warnings are for the future, but for now Form 4473s for suppressors seems to be passing muster:

Of course, “logic” and “gun control” are pretty much mutually exclusive.
The suspect was found in a dorm room. Virginia’s brand-new crime for having a gun in a public higher-education building has already failed!

The ruling exempts members of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and customers of Defense Distributed from ATF’s “ghost gun” regulation.
The Justice Department could still appeal this ruling.
The civilian disarmament crowd hates free speech and will do whatever they can to keep their narratives unchallenged with facts and logic. Under pressure from gun-grabbers, the Biden Administration ordered CDC to remove the Defensive Gun Use (DGU) information from the agency’s website. CDC admitting that guns are used defensively from 60,000 to 2.5 million times each year was a real problem for the narrative that guns don’t serve a legitimate self-defense purpose.
Trump has just told CDC to put the DGU information back on the CDC’s website!

Einstein gave us E=MC2.
John Lott gave us More Guns == Less Crime.
If crime has dropped so low and gun sales are through the roof, why the continued push for gun control? It’s because gun control has never been about lowering the crime rate or saving lives.
John Lott proved right again:

VCDL Book Review
Title: First Freedom
Subtitle: A ride through America’s enduring history with the gun
Author: David Harsanyi
248 pages
First Freedom covers the role of firearms in America, from the first Europeans stepping onto the shores of North America, to modern day.
Firearms shaped America’s future and helped create the greatest and the freest nation the world has ever seen.
Firearms were used to provide food and protection for the Pilgrims; helped the nation tame the west; allowed America to prevail in our War of Independence, the Civil War, WW I, WW II, and other wars and conflicts over the years.
Firearms came over from Europe in America’s early days, but Americans took the ball and ran with it. Soon we led the world in firearms development and production. The book includes a discussion on the great American firearms developers, including John M. Browning, Samuel Colt, Horace Smith and Daniel B. Wesson, William B. Ruger, Oliver Winchester, and more.
Firearms were, and still are, tied to our America heritage, unlike anywhere else in the world. Firearms are a part of our identity as individuals and our identity as a nation. They are both a symbol of our freedom and, in the hands of the American people, a guarantor of that freedom.
First Freedom has a wealth of information about the history of firearms, especially as they pertain to America.
For example, I didn’t know that the United States almost lost the Revolutionary War with England due to the lack of gun powder, especially good quality gun powder from Europe! We were great at making guns, but we didn’t have the best materials and facilities to make gun powder. To think we might still be saying, “God Save the King” due to poor quality saltpeter!
If you are interested in American history and firearms, I highly recommend First Freedom. As a bonus, the book is indexed, making it a great quick reference.
First Freedom is available on Amazon by clicking here. (Note: neither VCDL nor I receive anything from the sale of books that I review, unless I were to note otherwise.)
