It has been almost six months since winter storm Uri blanketed Texas in a week-long freeze and, despite ample rain, many Texas trees are still showing signs of stress.

At least 20 states feel threatened by Joe Biden’s efforts to disarm Americans by federal laws if possible, otherwise by executive orders (decrees), proclamations or any other executive action – all unconstitutional. The Second Amendment of the Constitution “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed” an armed populace “being necessary to the security of a free State” is foundational to freedom. Biden’s nomination of former ATF special agent David Chipman as ATF director, notably hostile to this constitutional wordage, has caused these states to line up to nullify any federal action on this freedom. America will not be disarmed!
