For anyone who thinks the NFA was ever about anything other than tax and control (not safety), directly from the ATF's own website:

"While the NFA was enacted by Congress as an exercise of its authority to tax, the NFA had an underlying purpose unrelated to revenue collection. As the legislative history of the law discloses, its underlying purpose was to curtail, if not prohibit, transactions in NFA firearms. Congress found these firearms to pose a significant crime problem because of their frequent use in crime, particularly the gangland crimes of that era such as the St. Valentine’s Day Massacre. The $200 making and transfer taxes on most NFA firearms were considered quite severe and adequate to carry out Congress’ purpose to discourage or eliminate transactions in these firearms. The $200 tax has not changed since 1934." - https://atf.gov/rules-and-regulations/laws-alcohol-tobacco-firearms-and-explosives/national-firearms-act

As for the "underlying purpose," yes, it was an attempt at prohibition, just like the prohibition of alcohol. It was NOT about safety, nor, as is stated there, about "crime," because in 1934, during the great depression, when the NFA was enacted, the only people who could afford a $200 tax stamp were the criminals the law was allegedly aimed at stopping. No, just as with government today, this was not about safety or crime - it was about control (making firearms and accessories too expensive for most to purchase) and government getting its cut.

JUST IN - Iran not complying with nuclear obligations for first time in almost 20 years, says UN watchdog.

Iran is already responding to the IAEA's decision, ordering the replacement of older centrifuges at the Fordow underground facility with more advanced machines. They have also declared that they will launch a new enrichment site "in a secure location."

VIDEO – Republican Senator wants due process for illegals being deported

I voted AGAINST Republican Senator James Lankford in his last two Primaries in Oklahoma. It is evident Lankford is more and more becoming a RINO in the Red State of Oklahoma (where every single County voted Trump in 2024). My God my fellow Okies, DO NOT VOTE Lankford in his next Primary!

God’s ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). The wisdom of man is foolishness before God (1 Corinthians 3:19). Thus, true wisdom is to trust in God and lean not on our own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Treasure His thoughts above your own.

"How precious also are Thy thoughts unto me, O God." Psalm 139:17

Divine omniscience affords no comfort to the ungodly mind, but to the child of God it overflows with consolation. God is always thinking upon us, never turns aside His mind from us, has us always before His eyes; and this is precisely as we would have it, for it would be dreadful to exist for a moment beyond the observation of our heavenly Father. His thoughts are always tender, loving, wise, prudent, far-reaching, and they bring to us countless benefits: hence it is a choice delight to remember them. The Lord always did think upon His people: hence their election and the covenant of grace by which their salvation is secured; He always will think upon them: hence their final perseverance by which they shall be brought safely to their final rest. In all our wanderings the watchful glance of the Eternal Watcher is evermore fixed upon us- we never roam beyond the Shepherd's eye. In our sorrows He observes us incessantly, and not a pang escapes Him; in our toils He marks all our weariness, and writes in His book all the struggles of His faithful ones. These thoughts of the Lord encompass us in all our paths, and penetrate the innermost region of our being. Not a nerve or tissue, valve or vessel, of our bodily organization is uncared for; all the littles of our little world are thought upon by the great God.

Dear reader, is this precious to you? then hold to it. Never be led astray by those philosophic fools who preach up an impersonal God, and talk of self-existent, self-governing matter. The Lord liveth and thinketh upon us, this is a truth far too precious for us to be lightly robbed of it. The notice of a nobleman is valued so highly that he who has it counts his fortune made; but what is it to be thought of by the King of kings! If the Lord thinketh upon us, all is well, and we may rejoice evermore.

We've been "cramming for the finals" for the past five years. We were already leaning this way our whole lives. It's been tough, but fun, creating a life closer to the land, and closer to God. Healthier, happier, and much more affordable.

"JUDGE" CRAWFORD IS A SMURF

https://x.com/PeterBernegger/status/1907397443404087599

Jesus had every right to defend Himself, He was without blame. Yet He remained silent on the cross, taking a punishment He did not deserve so that we would not face the punishment we do deserve. He deserves our faith and allegiance. He not only earned it, He bought it at a price higher than any other - His own blood.

Spurgeon's Morning and Evening Devotions

Morning, April 2

"He answered him to never a word." Matthew 27:14

He had never been slow of speech when He could bless the sons of men, but He would not say a single word for Himself. "Never man spake like this Man," and never man was silent like Him. Was this singular silence the index of His perfect self-sacrifice? Did it show that He would not utter a word to stay the slaughter of His sacred person, which He had dedicated as an offering for us? Had He so entirely surrendered Himself that He would not interfere in His own behalf, even in the minutest degree, but be bound and slain an unstruggling, uncomplaining victim? Was this silence a type of the defenselessness of sin? Nothing can be said in palliation or excuse of human guilt; and, therefore, He who bore its whole weight stood speechless before His judge. Is not patient silence the best reply to a gainsaying world? Calm endurance answers some questions infinitely more conclusively than the loftiest eloquence. The best apologists for Christianity in the early days were its martyrs. The anvil breaks a host of hammers by quietly bearing their blows. Did not the silent Lamb of God furnish us with a grand example of wisdom? Where every word was occasion for new blasphemy, it was the line of duty to afford no fuel for the flame of sin. The ambiguous and the false, the unworthy and mean, will ere long overthrow and confute themselves, and therefore the true can afford to be quiet, and finds silence to be its wisdom. Evidently our Lord, by His silence, furnished a remarkable fulfillment of prophecy. A long defence of Himself would have been contrary to Isaiah's prediction. "He is led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He openeth not His mouth." By His quiet He conclusively proved Himself to be the true Lamb of God. As such we salute Him this morning. Be with us, Jesus, and in the silence of our heart, let us hear the voice of Thy love.
