Nobody wants to be more wrong about what’s coming in the United States than I do. Still, it’s better to be safe than sorry. Be prepared. If you are convinced you need to buy a firearm, by all means, get trained by an NRA certified firearms instructor. Then practice, practice, practice. Ammunition for practicing can get expensive, while live-round range practice is an absolute necessity; it can be supplemented by dry-fire practice. I recommend the Strikeman Dry-Fire Laser Firearm Training System which allows you to train without the expense of live ammunition. It’s actually awesome! Join your local ham radio club and go to ‘in person’ meetings. The folks you meet there will be a source of invaluable information. Get your ham operators license, it’s not hard. Also, I’ll bet you can get a decent handheld ham radio with all the accessories for $10-$20 if not free. You may want to get a satellite phone. For about $90-$120 a month, you get service and a satellite phone included. Again, before buying a ham radio, speak to the experts at your local ham radio club/group. You should also consider taking a CPR and an advanced Red Cross first aid class, along with civil defense training, and becoming an emergency civil defense volunteer.

DIVORCE AGREEMENT THIS IS INCREDIBLY WELL-PUT, AND I CAN HARDLY BELIEVE IT'S WRITTEN BY A STUDENT!!! WHATEVER HE RUNS FOR, I'LL VOTE FOR HIM. Dear American liberals, leftists, social progressives, socialists, Marxists, and Obama supporters, et al: We have stuck together since the late 1950s for the sake of the kids, but the whole of this latest election process has made me realize that I want a divorce. I know we tolerated each other for many years for the sake of future generations, but sadly, this relationship has clearly run its course. Our two ideological sides of America cannot and will not ever agree on what is right for us all, so let's just end it on friendly terms. We can smile and chalk it up to irreconcilable differences and go our own way. Here is our separation agreement: Our two groups can equitably divide up the country by land mass, each taking a similar portion. That will be the difficult part, but I am sure our two sides can come to a friendly agreement. After that, it should be relatively easy! Our respective representatives can effortlessly divide other assets, since both sides have such distinct and disparate tastes. —We don't like redistributive taxes, so you can keep them. --You are welcome to the liberal judges and the ACLU. --Since you hate guns and war, we'll take our firearms, the cops, the NRA, and the military. --We'll take the nasty, smelly oil industry and the coal mines, and you can go with wind, solar, and bio-diesel. --You can keep Oprah, Whoopi, Bill Maher, Michael Moore and Rosie O'Donnell. You are, however, responsible for finding a bio-diesel vehicle big enough to move all five of them. --We'll keep capitalism, greedy corporations, pharmaceutical companies, Wal-Mart, and Wall Street. --You can have your beloved lifelong welfare dwellers, food stamps, homeless, homeboys, hippies, druggies, and illegal aliens. --We'll keep the hot Alaskan hockey moms, greedy CEOs, and rednecks. --We'll keep Bill O’Reilly and Bibles and give you NBC and Hollywood. --You can make nice with Iran and Palestine and we'll retain the right to invade and hammer places that threaten us. --You can have the peaceniks and war protesters. --When our allies or our way of life are under assault, we'll help provide them security. --We'll keep our Judeo-Christian values. --You are welcome to Islam, Scientology, Humanism, political correctness, and Shirley McLaine. You can also have the UN., but we will no longer be paying the bill. --We'll keep the SUVs, pickup trucks, and oversized luxury cars. You can take every Volt and Leaf you can find. --You can give everyone health care if you can find any practicing doctors. --We'll keep "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" and "The National Anthem." --I'm sure you'll be happy to substitute "Imagine," "I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing," "Kum Baya," or "We Are the World." --We'll practice trickle-down economics and you can continue to give trickle-up poverty your best shot. --Since it often so offends you, we'll keep our history, our name, and our flag. Would you agree to this? If so, please pass it along to other like-minded liberal and conservative patriots and if you do not agree, just hit delete. In the spirit of friendly parting, I'll bet you might think about which one of us will need whose help in 15 years. Sincerely, John J. Wall Law Student and an American P.S. Also, please take George Clooney, Ted Turner, Sean Penn, Martin Short, Charlie Sheen, Barbra Streisand, and (Hanoi) Jane Fonda with you. P.P.S. And you won't have to press 1 for English when you call our country. Forward This Every Time You Get It ! Let's Keep This Going, Maybe Some Of It Will Start Sink in.

Today, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) released its long-awaited guidance on how suppressors may be transferred using ATF Form 4473 following the landmark ruling in Jensen v. ATF. The new guidance takes effect immediately. This victory started with ASA. We led the effort to eliminate the $200 tax in the One Big Beautiful Bill, then used that win to bring Jensen v. ATF with our partners at the NRA, SAF, FPC, and TSRA and take down the registration requirements the tax had propped up. What the guidance says: Who is covered: Everyone. The court’s injunction covers only the plaintiffs, their members, and their customers, but the Department of Justice is using its enforcement discretion to apply the same policy nationwide. How transfers work: Like any other firearm. You fill out a Form 4473 and pass a NICS background check at your dealer. ATF no longer requires a Form 4, prior approval, or registration. What dealers need to do: Complete a Form 4473, run NICS, and keep the same records required for any other firearm. Sales are limited to residents of the dealer’s state. Dealer-to-dealer transfers no longer require a Form 3. Dealers, manufacturers, and importers must still pay the special occupational tax (SOT). What hasn’t changed: State law still applies. If suppressors are restricted in your state, this guidance does not change that. Some states only allow suppressors that are registered under federal law, and dealers may not make a transfer that violates state or local law. For that reason, ATF will continue to accept and approve Form 4s from anyone who chooses to register. ATF also cautions that this policy could change. Unregistered suppressors would not automatically be grandfathered if enforcement resumed. When in doubt, talk to your dealer before you buy.
