The part I find most disturbing is how eagerly and even gleefully the State Police (and LEOs in general) accept their new role as the jackbooted thugs enforcing such patently unconstitutional edicts.

Probably some of them do, but not all. We had quite a few of them standing in solidarity with us in 2020 when we all showed up in Richmond and shut down a lot of the legislation that they thought they were going to pass. I see in a lot of these big democrat run cities where the police chief is appointed by the Mayor, yes they are going to fall in line. Same with the State police. The rural county Sherriff's offices want nothing to do with it. They are elected and they know who put them in office. I think they are currently seeing the same thing in Oregon . Those fine people have actually been pretty vocal in their opposition to bad laws in recent weeks. I think that we are seeing it in Illinois as well.

At the cusp of the matter, I can only do my best to live and die a free man.

The question will arise...What are we willing to do to stay Free Men... and Live?

If it's more important to live just stay home and watch it on TV.

Oh, you mean like what they tried to force us all to do with C-19? ... that's not living.
And that is definitely not Freedom.

No. Not like being TOLD to stay home.

The NRA needs to stop giving away $70,000 pick up trucks and $12,000 worth of firearms in sweepstakes and use that money for lawsuits against unjust , illegal, gun control legislation like the 2nd Amendment (SAF) and Gun Owners of America (GOA ) . And Wayne does not need to wear $2000 tailored suits to do his job !!

Waiting for the NRA to get serious again is as useless as expecting "law & order" to return to an even keel.

I think there is a slight misunderstanding of what I meant about what we will do to stay free, and live.
If, in my desire to remain a free man and live my life, it should come about that I die in the effort, at least I die in the knowledge I was true to myself and my Oath.
Life without Freedom is slavery.

From GOA:

"Now, Biden’s executive order gives the ATF the ability to expand their illegal national gun registry by forcing private citizens who sell their guns to do so through an FFL."

UBCs, here we come.

That is specifically stated in the dolt's EXO?

If $100k brings in $150k of new or upgraded memberships............ etc.
I not know their financial model or balance sheet.
That said, I too want NRA to do more, as well as GoA and all the other gun clubs.
Like I always say, 2A needs to unite, otherwise it's long battle of agony.
I however am taking on some things at State level, moving the ball in the right direction, hopefully.

Agree. There is strength in unity. NRA, GOA, SAF, FPC all those need to unite for this fight. Knock off the giveaways and put those funds into legal action.

Well, I figure this is part & parcel of what Biden is tag-teaming:

Brazil's Socialist President Orders Nationwide Gun Grab After Surge in Sales

The gun-grabbing push comes despite Brazil recording its lowest level of homicides in 15 years by the end of the Bolsonaro presidency.
