Abolish the federal register!

And other firearms confiscation databases in the government

These people will actually publish your name and address in the Federal Register as an armed and dangerous sovereign citizen and have your home ransacked by a SWAT team if you are found to be legally in possession of any firearms or to have had your rights "restored."

Given these two Presidential directives, and the new Second Amendment Section of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, it is still not clear that any unlawful gun regulations — to wit, unlawful patterns and practices of federal law enforcement officers confiscating guns from people in the course of their government employment without any due process of law — are actually being repealed, or ceased and desisted from being enforced.

Federal agents have open flouted the law and the constitution by altering and grossly distorting the legal definitions of terms to allege that gun owners in particular are mentally defective or that they “have been committed to a mental institution” in cases where the terms would not be legally applicable for any other purposes except in cases of arresting and prosecuting individuals for purchasing, possessing or carrying firearms.

Obviously a person who is “mentally defective” would not be operating a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle or making cash purchases in stores, nor would a person who “has been committed to a mental institution” be walking free on public sidewalks. But federal agents as well as state troopers and county sheriffs have openly lied in court, distorted the law, and changed how the legal terms apply in their zeal to slam gun owners with extreme risk protective orders and other red flag laws, which are invalid and do not apply for any other purpose than to consfiscate guns or hinder law-abiding citizens from purchasing guns.

Today, the Department of Justice submitted to the Office of the Federal Register a proposed rule regarding the exercise of the Attorney General’s authority under 18 U.S.C. 925(c) to grant relief to individuals who are otherwise precluded from possessing firearms. ¶"For too long, countless Americans with criminal histories have been permanently disenfranchised from exercising the right to keep and bear arms—a right every bit as constitutionally enshrined as the right to vote, the right to free speech, and the right to free exercise of religion—irrespective of whether they actually pose a threat," said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. "No longer." ¶The proposed rule will provide citizens whose firearm rights are currently under legal disability with an avenue to restore those rights, while keeping firearms out of the hands of dangerous criminals and illegal aliens. Ultimate discretion to grant relief will remain with the Attorney General, and she will exercise that discretion on a case-by-case basis in light of all available facts and evidence that bear on an individual’s application. But absent extraordinary circumstances, violent felons, registered sex offenders, and illegal aliens, in particular, will remain presumptively ineligible for relief.

Owning a gun is an absolute right in America, not a privilege up the discretion of the Attorney General. With all due respect to the law in pursuance of the Constitution, the right to keep and bear Arms is specifically enumerated or mentioned as an absolute right, namely such a right that shall not be infringed. The government has no absolutely no authority or jurisdiction whatsoever to propose or promulgate rules to grab guns from people or to prevent people from purchasing or making or otherwise lawfully acquiring guns or “Arms.”

It is of course the case that the security of a free state depends precisely on the well-regulated Militia of “people” who keep and bear Arms freely without any governmental infringements on their right to do so. This is precisely the sort of Militia intended by our Founding Fathers to regulate itself by each individual’s own decision-making free of government interference or infringement.
