Eight counties in Colorado are revolting against gun control coming out of Denver.

Custer, Fremont, Kiowa, Montezuma, Otero, Weld, Moffat and Rio Blanco have become “2nd Amendment sanctuaries” after a “Red Flag” gun confiscation bill was passed in the Colorado House.

Red flag gun confiscations orders are the current wave of gun control making headway in state legislatures across the nation. These bills allow judges to order the confiscation of an individual’s firearms if they’re considered a risk. An allegation from a family member, acquaintance, or estranged spouse is enough to justify a confiscation order.

The person subject to a red flag gun confiscation order would then have to prove their innocence in order to have their gun rights restored.

Weld Country Sheriff Steve Reams has firmly opposed this legislation. He believes it cross various constitutional lines. Reams said, “I have a duty for public safety but also have a duty to protect the Constitution.”

The Board of Weld County Commissioners agreed with Reams’s assessment of the situation and passed a resolution opposing red flag laws.

The resolution made clear that commissioners would not allocate money towards a storage facility for weapons confiscated by law enforcement. The commissioners justified their action on their desire to uphold constitutional rights.

With Democrats in control of all three branches of the Colorado State legislature, the likelihood of red flag laws passing is very high.

Second Amendment resolutions like the ones taking place in Colorado are the way to go for gun owners living in monolithically anti-gun states. This trend has already caught on in states like Maryland and New Mexico.

When gun control can’t be stopped in the state legislature, the next best option is to not comply.

On July 12, 2020, White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows announced that he gave several pieces of information to suspected leakers.

According to Axios, Meadows has proceeded to do this “to reporters — a trap that would confirm his suspicions.”

“Meadows told me he was doing that,” commented one former White House official. “I don’t know if it ever worked.”

The Trump administration has been plagued with leaks since day one. Meadows has taken it upon himself to find the leakers and expose them for subverting President Trump’s agenda.

One leak that recently infuriated Trump was involved an alleged Russian plot to pay the Taliban bounties to kill American soldiers.

Trump was also furious when the New York Times revealed that the Secret Service took him down to the bunker while riots raged outside the White House.

Although Meadows has not caught any high-profile leakers so far, a source close to Meadows said he is “focused on national security leaks and could care less about the palace intrigue stories.”

However, during a recent podcast with Ted Cruz, Meadows revealed that they discovered and fired a federal employee who was caught leaking information about a White House social media executive order.

Trump will ultimately need to get his house in order if he wants to keep his agenda coherent and intact.

One of the overarching themes of the Trump administration has been in its inability to tame subversive advisers and other actors within the administration.

This allows for Trump’s America First agenda to be derailed while legacy institutions like the defense industry benefit greatly.

D.C. is in desperate need of a cleanse and it starts within the executive branch.
