At a time when gun control might have been easy to get passed, an unprecedented reaction to the heavy hand of government control reveals itself across the country.
As of today, 348 sheriffs and 14 sheriffs associations have publicly stepped forward to let the Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association know that they will not be enforcing any new federal gun control regulations.
Similarly, firearms and related manufacturers have publicly announced they will not be selling to any state, county, city or municipality that restrict gun rights. Dubbed the Firearms Equality Movement, nearly 130 companies have signed on.
Plus, 32 states have now introduced bills nullifying any new federal gun control measures. Five of these have passed one chamber.
What can we take away from this? That there certainly are options when Congress fails. The states have delegated to Congress enumerated powers. When Congress steps over these powers, states have an obligation to stand up and act in defense of its citizens.
Yet, there are state legislators who are not willing to step forward to defend citizens against equally egregious government oversteps, including ObamaCare, NDAA Indefinite Detention and many foolish and harmful regulations foisted upon industry through unelected and virtually unaccountable federal bureaucratic agencies.
Use the gun control nullification as an example of what states should be doing. Talk to your legislators about being just as passionate about protecting all of our God-given rights, not just the right to bear arms.
If You Thought the NAU Was Bad-- Here Comes the TTIP
If you haven't heard of the proposed North American Union (NAU), it is a push to further harmonize the economic, trade, security, and business industries of North America. In effect, this dilutes and delegates our sovereignty to regional entities (much like NAFTA tribunals have done for deciding American/Canadian/Mexican business disputes). The European Union is another example of this. JBS fought hard against the NAU in 2007 by exposing it.
Now comes the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership that proposes to integrate the economies of the EU and the US. However, as we've learned from the example of the EU, political integration follows economic integration.
JBS will continue monitoring this and is gearing up an action project to expose the intent of this agreement.
The Southern Poverty Law Center released last week its annual hate and extremism report for 2012. The SPLC has been exposed time and time again for manufacturing and fundraising off of fear, while smearing conservative, Constitutional and Christian organizations for its own gain.
Once again, The John Birch Society makes the "Patriot" list. Many in the liberty movement consider this a badge of honor.
USA Today asked us for comment and The New American covered both the report and the separate JBS profile the SPLC included.
