The Biden administration has launched a two-pronged attack against the right to bear arms in America – and Congressional Republicans made it possible. Regardless of what certain lawmakers intended, and despite all their assurances this wouldn’t happen, the Biden administration is using the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) of 2022 to both bribe states into creating red flag laws and withhold federal funding for schools with hunting and archery programs. So the Biden administration is buying gun control at the state level. Shocked? Don’t be. This isn’t the first time federal funding has been used to control the states.
Safer Communities Means Less Education?
In what experts are calling a “direct attack on hunters’ ability to pass down hunting to the newest generations,” the Biden administration is blocking federal funding from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for schools with hunting and archery programs.
Tommy Floyd, president of the National Archery in the Schools Program, told Fox News Digital that it’s a negative for children. “As a former educator of 30-plus years, I was always trying to find a way to engage students,” he said. “You’ve got every fish and wildlife agency out there working so hard to utilize every scrap of funding, not only for the safety and hunter education, but for the general understanding of why stewardship is so important when it comes to natural resources,” he continued. “Any guidance where it’s even considered a ‘maybe’ or a prohibition for shooting sports is a huge negative.”
Floyd’s organization boasts 1.3 million students from almost 9,000 schools across 49 states who are enrolled in archery classes. Some of these schools have already canceled their archery or hunting courses because of the new federal funding guidance. Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Thom Tillis (R-NC)...

MARK ROBINSON FOR NC GOVERNOR! HERE'S WHY:
I vividly recall his comments to the Greensboro City Council on the 2nd Amendment. Had me on my feet cheering! I shared it several times. (Video of Mark's dynamite 4 minute remarks below.)

I'll send Mark some $$ and hope others will as well. What's not to love about a black man who scares the pants off the Democrats?
Mark Robinson is solid gold. The Democrats despise him, because he openly believes in God and salvation. They hate him because he is a black self-made Republican. They try to destroy him, because he preaches to the black community that individual self-reliance is all they need to pull themselves up. The education establishment detests him because he wants good education for our children, not good benefits for the teachers’ unions.
Money is pouring in from all over the country to destroy him and his campaign for Governor. He represents the worst nightmare for the Democrat Party, and they are terrified of him. He has two primary opponents, which the Democrats are trying to boost, in order to primary him out. So far, he seems to have majority support among North Carolina grass roots Republicans, but the Republican establishment hates him the same way the Democrats do.
I will be campaigning for him as the cycle progresses. I really hope he is NC's next Governor.
“In 2021, there were a mere 538 extreme risk protection orders issued. A year later, the number soared to 4,257, and already through early April of this year there were 2,743, according to records from the state Office of Court Administration.”

“The change made it mandatory for prosecutors and police to petition for an order whenever they determine it is likely that an individual could be dangerous.”
As far as I know none of these ‘red flag’ laws has an upper limit (say 1 out of 10,000 state residents) on total active confiscations.
Yes we can.
Stop voting for the incumbent RINO.
Stop bowing to the God of….If I don’t vote for ???? The Democrat will win.
Bet it wasn’t the dog that bit the security people at the WH.
