Broken civilizations get rebuilt at the local community level as families, businesses, churches and small civil governments begin to learn what those local institutions can be. That is happening right now in the US, primarily in rural counties.

We explore real-life reformation here in this informed, online community.

What can a president do completely unilaterally for gun rights?

Here's a list compiled by Open Source Defense:

  • Repeal Bush 41’s assault weapon import ban

  • Redefine “armor-piercing ammo” to re-allow banned ammo types

  • Redefine 922(r) out of existence

  • Bring back kitchen table FFLs, and make a new internet-sales FFL (this is in the 2017 ATF white paper)

  • Repeal the photos and fingerprints parts of ATF Rule 41F (an Obama-era rule change), so that trusts don’t need photos and fingerprints for their members. (Careful here: Rule 41F also changed “you need CLEO approval” to “you just need to notify your CLEO, but they can’t stop you” — that was a very important positive change to keep.)

  • Expansive allowance for pistol braces. Make it official that anything goes.

  • Grant a blanket lawful purposes exemption for gun possession to people in the country on nonimmigrant visas (tourists, students, etc.)

  • Machine gun amnesty

  • Presumptive approvals for Form 1s and Form 4s. They approve it instantly, and then can claw it back months later or whatever if you get denied. This is how NICS checks already work — if you don’t get a yes/no within 3 days, you can take the gun home and then they just claw it back if you eventually get rejected.

  • C&R firearms are defined as any gun more than 50 years old, or any gun that the ATF deems to be a C&R. They could add a massive influx of modern guns to the C&R list. Basically all the cool ‘70s–‘90s guns. There’s no reason the Steyr AUG and MP5 and FAL and the like shouldn’t be considered classics. AKs too.

Janet Yellen shocked the banking world when she said that America's “needed belt tightening is significant—larger than in most programs supported by the International Monetary Fund."

Yes, even larger than the bankrupt nations now beholden to the IMF, which demands a kind of austerity Americans might not survive. Examples:

By 2010, Greek debt had spiraled to 130% of GDP and climbing. No one was willing to lend them money anymore... forcing the IMF to swoop in with a "rescue" package that came with brutal strings attached.

Pensions were slashed by 40%. Public sector wages were frozen, then cut. Over 150,000 government workers were laid off. State assets—airports, ports, utilities—were sold off at fire-sale prices to foreign investors.

Greece's economy contracted by 25%. Youth unemployment hit 60%. An entire generation was hollowed out.

Argentina has been through the IMF wringer multiple times; in fact in in 2018, Argentina received the largest bailout in IMF history: $57 billion....

Personal Happiness Is Not the Goal of Life

Martyn Lloyd-Jones declared, “Whenever you put happiness before righteousness, you will be doomed to misery. That is the great message of the Bible from beginning to end. They alone are truly happy who are seeking to be righteous.”

In some places, it means a year in prison

Attention antifa and transtifa and insurrectionists who hate ICE:

Nearly every state has specific statutes that criminalize willfully interrupting or disturbing a religious assembly or worship service. These laws protect the right of people to gather and practice their religion without intentional interference.

Let the Minneapolis arrests begin.
