The Biden administration’s interpretation of the 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) will allow them to deny federal funding for schools with hunting or archery classes. The change will end schools having those classes.

Proven Lies and Weaponized Propaganda :: 08/02/2023

Biden withholding funding for schools with hunting programs :: 07/31/2023
President Joe Biden talks a big game about trying to make our communities safer.

Justice Alito Grants Temporary Stay for ATF’s “Ghost Gun” Rule :: 07/31/2023
On July 27, 2023, the Attorney General of the Biden Administration, Merrick B. Garland, applied for a stay to Justice Alito at the Supreme Court in the case of VanDerStok v. Garland. The request for an emergency stay had been refused by a three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on July 24, 2023, as reported on AmmoLand. One of the possibilities mentioned was the Biden administration would appeal directly to the Supreme Court. The possibility of a request for an en banc decision existed but was unlikely because the Fifth Circuit has been following the Supreme Court guidance in the Bruen decision for enforcing Second Amendment rights and because an en banc panel would not have been emplaced for a period of time.

If you asked me last year “Who is Michael Day?” I would not have been able to answer you. Well, today, the name Michael Day is branded in my mind, and it needs to be in the minds of Second Amendment supporters across the nation. I previously reported a bit on the so-called “listening tour” that the Massachusetts State Representative hosted over this last year. Day, also the Judiciary Joint Committee House Chair, was tasked with doing a top-down overhaul of the Bay State’s gun laws and he sure did step in it.
