JD’s manually curated links for God-fearing MAGA patriots
In this PJ Media article, David Manney argues that new gun-control pushes in Virginia, Minnesota, and Louisville reveal a broader political hostility toward armed citizens and the Second Amendment.
- Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger signed a ban on the sale of so-called assault firearms and magazines holding more than 15 rounds, prompting the NRA to sue almost immediately.
- Manney frames Spanberger’s move as another example of Democrats campaigning as moderates before governing as gun-control activists.
- The article notes that Virginia’s law restricts importing, selling, manufacturing, purchasing, or transferring covered firearms, while allowing current owners to keep what they already have.
- Minnesota Democrats pushed a similar package targeting assault-style weapons and large-capacity magazines, but the House did not bring it to a final vote.
- Democratic lawmakers in Minnesota staged an overnight sit-in after the Republican speaker declined to advance the gun-control bill.
- Louisville Metro Council members asked Kentucky state leaders for more authority to impose local gun restrictions, including background checks, waiting periods, and other measures.
- Manney argues that gun-control advocates routinely punish law-abiding citizens for crimes already committed by people willing to ignore existing laws.
- The piece contends that armed Americans make sweeping government control harder and preserve individual agency in moments when police may not arrive in time.
- Manney warns that gun restrictions often move incrementally, from magazine limits and rifle bans to licensing, registries, buybacks, and criminal penalties.
- The article concludes that the Second Amendment is not a problem to be managed, but a right that keeps government power in check.
