Jacob Sullum reports for Reason that the ATF is ready to act on a year-old Biden “Executive Order,” and you can bet it’s another power-grab against your rights.
Sullum notes:
“Nearly a year ago, President Joe Biden issued an executive order aimed at ‘increasing the number of background checks conducted before firearm sales, moving the U.S. as close to universal background checks as possible…
Political collectivist ideology repeatedly and perennially reveals its internally contradictory nature.
Its proponents use coercion and threats to purportedly “help” the weak and vulnerable.
Its proponents claim to represent the interests and the “cares” of “the people” by negating each person’s ability to show that for which he or she cares and to what degree.
Its proponents centrally…
In 1992, Al Gore made himself the target of well-deserved mockery when he told a crowd that, economically, “everything that ought to be down is up, everything that should be up is down!”
He continues to offer shady claims, now, mostly about the climate.
But Gore isn’t alone in manufacturing a false message for political consumption. On the whole, the US government does this virtually…
It's understandable, if you, like many, feel confused by their double-standard.
After decrying what they claim were historic “colonizers” who wielded power to dominate and exploit politically weak or “underrepresented” groups, two prominent Democrats are weighing-in on the Texas v. DC border battle. They are calling for Joe Biden’s central government to “federalize” the states’ National Guard…
Sometimes, people leave it all behind. But sometimes, the people involved in the creation of fictitious worlds remain in the spotlight, supporting the fans, supplying energy to the act of storytelling, and bringing attention to real events, real people, and real life that often gets disregarded by folks who might spend a bit too much time enjoying escapism and not dealing with reality.…
The Biden Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is on the verge of banning one of the most important chemicals in the history of mankind.
It's methylene chloride, and it's used for everything from electronics to pharmaceuticals. Across its various states, it's an extraction solvent in food and beverage manufacturing, is used in processing spices and de-caffeinating beverages and making…
Whether the cause is limitless hubris or some innate inability to check their perverse, authoritarian excitement, politicians and bureaucrats sometimes let slip their black-as-midnight plans to attack our liberty and hurt us.
In 2019, Joe Biden did precisely that when he openly stated he would “end fossil fuel.” And, using the softer-but-meaning-the-same-thing term “phase-out”, he…
The battle between the feds and the government of Texas (and, now, numerous members of the TX National Guard, as well as many so-called “Red State” governments that are pledging to join Texas Governor Greg Abbott) is the biggest constitutional conflict since most of us were born.
It is not a “standoff.” It is active, dynamic, kinetic, and already has seen the governors of Georgia, Montana,…
In the latest in a long train of transformations and usurpations of the US Constitution, a majority of the US Supreme Court late Monday, January 22, ruled that the US Border Patrol (USBP) can cut razor-wire and destroy other barriers that the Texas government has erected in order to prevent illegal immigrants from coming north from Mexico and into the state.
It’s an empty decision that likely…
On Wednesday, January 17, the “Division of Trading and Markets” within the Biden Administration’s Constitution-insulting “Securities and Exchange Commission” pulled from “Fast Track” approval its plan to see so-called “Natural Asset Companies/Corporations” (NAC) allowed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
