🚨 DSA Leader Says Keep the Guns Hidden Until the Crisis Comes Are the Democratic Socialists of America violent? It's a question that has sparked considerable debate, but one of the organization's national leaders argues that now is the time to prepare for the coming revolution. Christopher Winston, a national DSA leader with close ties to the organization's security apparatus, the Red Rabbits, isn't interested in armed activists showing off their guns in the streets. “Until there's a crisis, keep the fucking guns put up.” But he also warned that America is “rapidly approaching the crisis stage” and described the present as a time for “experimentation and accumulation of forces.” Pointing to the unrest in Minneapolis, Winston declared, “We literally had the embryo of a dual power,” referring to what he sees as the beginnings of an alternative power structure challenging capitalism. He urged others to learn from Minneapolis and the radical organizing networks established during 2020 that remained in place. Winston also invoked Maoist revolutionary movements in Peru and India, arguing that fellow travelers should study their experiences while developing a distinctly American revolutionary approach rather than simply copying tactics from abroad.

It's all fun and games until they screw with the Second Amendment. Here's an underappreciated fact about the philosophical and legal theory behind the Constitution: the 10 Articles of the Bill of Rights are special. They do not grant rights that can be revoked, even by later amendments. Rather, they are considered to describe "natural" rights which are prior to the Constitution itself, and which no government may revoke without forfeiting its legitimacy. (Supporting rant about the Federalist papers, English classical liberalism, Blackstone, and the revolution of 1688 is here omitted.) Why does this matter in 2026? Because there's a rumor abroad that a shadowy constellation of left-wing groups has a plan to engineer a color Revolution after the 2026 midterms. I'm not going to comment on whether I think that rumor is true or not. Instead, I'm going to take it at face value and do some scenario analysis based on what their political objectives are supposed to be. Abolish the Senate in favor of a a unicameral legislature? Pack the Supreme Court? Constitutionally mandate things like universal health care or a right to abortion? These would be very radical changes, but they are things which at least in theory you could do at an Article V convention convened by state governors. We'd still be inside the system of the Constitution. What they couldn't do is mess with the Bill of Rights. Doing that wouldn't modify the Constitution within its own premises, it would legally and morally blow the entire constitutional charter to smithereens. In practice, this is a problem because all of the factions rumored to be among the revolutionnaires have at least one thing in common: they hate that Americans are armed and have the capability to resist tyranny. They'll come after the Second Amendment. If they delete it, or any other item in the Bill of Rights, more than half of the country will correctly evaluate that the foundations of our political system have been dynamited. That's when shit gets real.

Europe on fire proves the value of our Second Amendment. As arsonists, rioters and looters swarmed the streets of Paris Sunday night, French police were completely ineffective and President Emmanuel Macron and his wife were off attending a concert, which featured Céline Dion. Well-planned rioting and thievery are taking place throughout France and other European countries. Some say the actions are coordinated by the extreme far left and will continue unabated. France is still six months away from its next presidential election. Europe is on fire. Its victims are on their own. Extreme anti-gun laws throughout the continent have helped fuel the fires. France has some of the strictest anti-gun laws in the world. For a permit to purchase a “sporting arm”—not a handgun or a semi-automatic rifle—the applicant must be 18 years old and possess a valid hunting license or a shooting club membership. The applicant must also have completed and passed a medical exam, a mental health exam, an extensive criminal background check and government-approved firearm safety training. Once they’ve completed all of these legal requirements, they are required to submit an application to their local police. This alone can take months or even years. Many applicants have been rejected for no reason. Even if they manage to pass the requirements and purchase a firearm, concealed carry is outlawed. Gun safes are required. Ammunition must be stored separately, and law enforcement can conduct an in-home inspection whenever they want. Anyone caught violating these rules can face the loss of the firearm, stiff fines and years behind bars. France’s stiff anti-gun laws have had a horrific impact on the ongoing crime spree. One female shop owner in Paris tried to reason with the masked rioters as they calmly walked past her into her shop and stole her merchandise. “What’s the point of doing this?” she asked the criminals who paid her no mind. If she had a firearm, she might have been able to stop them, right? This is the point where many will point to our Second Amendment and claim that the riots spreading across Europe could never happen here. Unfortunately, that is not true. We have far too many large America cities where the Second Amendment has been bankrupted by local politicians, where the crazy French gun-ownership requirements seem almost par for the course, where only the bad guys have guns. Try to buy an AR, magazines and ammunition in New York, Boston or Washington D.C. and you will soon learn this is true. Millions of Americans are being stripped of their Second Amendment rights by their state and local politicians. Honest, hard-working Americans are serving decades in state prisons for “offenses” that aren’t even considered illegal in free states. Meanwhile, those of us who live in states that recognize the value of the Second Amendment often take for granted the pain and suffering the victims and their families are going through. “Move!” we tell them. “Get out of New York!” This, friends, needs to change, and we can help make the change. When we hear about the decades in prison someone received in a deep blue state for an “offense” that’s not even considered a crime in the rest of the country, we should be spurred into action. After all, we are still one country. Our Second Amendment rights are simply magnificent. They allow us to defend ourselves. However, we need to ensure that every American has equal access to these rights—as the Founders intended—regardless of where they have chosen to live. We need to make this a key issue while we have a President and an administration who value both our concerns and the Second Amendment. We need Second Amendment rights and protections for every American. @2AFDN

ChatGPT launches new anti-gun AI policies one day after Everytown recommends new anti-gun AI policies. The popular artificial intelligence assistant is now completely anti-gun. Gennifer Hesseling is the “shop mom” at a gun shop she started with her husband Phil in 2017, Hesseling & Sons Firearms & Gunsmithing. The business began in their garage almost 10 years ago, but they now occupy a 15,000 square foot facility located in Lima, Ohio. Gennifer, who has a background in graphic design, handles all of the shop’s marketing and social media, which has grown tremendously due to her hard work. She had been relying heavily on ChatGPT, an artificial intelligence or AI assistant made by OpenAI. “I’ve learned to be cautious because of the industry we’re in, but ChatGPT would help write copy and other media,” Gennifer said Monday. “We had a playful voice on our social media. I’m creative but if you tune your chatbot, it can mimic what you do and make it easier for you. It knows you and your products. It created actual ad campaigns. It would write and promote products for us. If I gave my chatbot what was in my head it would create it quickly.” One ad campaign was designed to presell specific products before the gun shop actually got them in stock. It was tremendously successful. Earlier this month, Gennifer wanted to create another ad campaign for gold-plated Desert Eagle pistols, which the shop was about to acquire. Unfortunately, her AI said no. “Until this month, we’ve never had an issue, but something changed. Our AI changed,” she said. “We’ve never had a restriction from ChatGPT about selling guns or promoting gun sales. Basically, the AI said, ‘I know we’ve done this in the past, but I can’t help you now.’ I was not selling anything illegal. I was asking my chatbot to assist with sales of lawful products.” Read more here: tinyurl.com/yn2dxv8x @2AFDN
