The 9th Circuit Once Again Toys With Gun Owners
We here at 2 If By Sea Tactical hope that the Supreme Court will step in and restore our God Given Rights and overturn such laws as this. With the Supreme Court conferencing five 2nd Amendment cases on Thursday December 4th, we hope they will take up all of the cases. Far to often, the Supreme Court has passed on 2nd Amendment cases and have allowed Circuit Courts like the 9th Circuit erode the rights that are enshrined in our constitution.

The DOJ and the Trump Administration as signaled that they are, at least in part, in favor of some gun control in the United States.

Who is Robert Cekada and What Does His Nomination as ATF Director Mean for Gun Owners?
We here at 2 If By Sea Tactical, hope Mr. Cekada can help guide the Justice Department towards more pro-freedom arguments and support us gun owners and the 2nd Amendment. He is given an unenviable task. One that the ATF has repeatedly failed with deadly consequences. We are praying we will be a voice of reason and help us seize on the window we have for this short period of time to roll back restrictions.

The Legacy of the Springfield Armory Model 1898 "Krag-Jorgensen" Rifle
