1/14/18 – St. Louis, MO Liberal Tears is a registered trademark of the Webcorp Corporation and owned by TJ Kirgin aka Sig Glockincolt ( you know, they HMFIC from Tactical Shit) He is fed up with the NRA and has decided to take on Congress and the DOJ by directly funding and supporting Firearms Policy Coalition.
Who is the Firearms Policy Coalition is a 501(c)4 grassroots, non-partisan, nonprofit organization that advocates for individual liberties and important constitutional rights—especially those protected under the First Amendment (Free Speech, Association, etc.), Second Amendment (Right to Keep and Bear Arms), Fifth Amendment (Takings, Due Process), and Fourteenth Amendment (Due Process, Equal Protection, Privileges and Immunities)—sound public policy, and related issues through legal action, direct and grassroots advocacy, research, education, outreach, and other programs.
More evidence of this can be found in the Firearm Policy Coalition’s mission statement below:
- To protect and defend the Constitution of the United States and the People’s rights, privileges and immunities deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition, especially the inalienable, fundamental, and individual right to keep and bear arms;
- To protect, defend, and advance the means and methods by which the People of the United States may exercise those rights, including, but not limited to, the acquisition, collection, transportation, exhibition, carry, care, use, and disposition of arms for all lawful purposes, including, but not limited to, self-defense, hunting, and service in the appropriate militia for the common defense of the Republic and the individual liberty of its citizens;
- To foster and promote the shooting sports and all lawful uses of arms; and,
- To foster and promote awareness of, and public engagement in, all of the above.
If you have been keeping up with the news you would know that the Trump administration has moved to ban bump-stocks and those who are in possession of said devices will have 90 days to either destroy or turn them in after it is published in the Federal register.
Where was the NRA in all of this? Were they spearheading the fight to stop the unconstitutional ban? Were they going to challenge it in court? Nope. The NRA stepped aside and simply said it was “disappointed” and issued the following statement;
“In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented. Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians has been to call for more gun control. Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks. This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world. In Las Vegas, reports indicate that certain devices were used to modify the firearms involved. Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law. The NRA believes that devices designed to allow semi-automatic rifles to function like fully-automatic rifles should be subject to additional regulations. In an increasingly dangerous world, the NRA remains focused on our mission: strengthening Americans’ Second Amendment freedom to defend themselves, their families and their communities. To that end, on behalf of our five million members across the country, we urge Congress to pass National Right-to-Carry reciprocity, which will allow law-abiding Americans to defend themselves and their families from acts of violence.”
This presents a serious problem. As you would have guessed after the announcement of the banning of bump-stocks the slippery slope presented itself in the form of a NEW assault weapons ban targeting AR Pistol Braces as well as stocks that are “otherwise fold-able or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, size, or any other dimension, or otherwise enhances the concealability of a firearm.”
Where the NRA failed the Firearms Policy Coalition excelled, wasting no time to file a federal lawsuit after the administrations announcement of the unconstitutional ban. Not only did they file a federal lawsuit They also sought an injunction which would hold off the ban until after the courts decision is made which could take quite awhile.
