“Keep Americans Safe Act” – Evidence Shows Magazine Limits Do Not Reduce Crime

Wayne Thorn

I am writing to urge all of us to oppose the Keep Americans Safe Act. While I understand the intent behind this legislation, history and research show that restricting magazine capacity does not reduce crime and only infringes upon the rights of law-abiding citizens.

The Urban Institute’s 2004 report, which examined the impact of the 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban (in effect from 1994 to 2004), found no measurable reduction in violent crime as a result of magazine capacity restrictions. The report concluded that “the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.” This study, along with crime data from 1990 to 2001, provides clear evidence that limiting magazine size does not deter criminals but does place unnecessary burdens on responsible gun owners.

Restricting law-abiding citizens’ access to standard-capacity magazines puts them at a disadvantage for self-defense, especially in rural areas where law enforcement response times can be significant. Criminals do not adhere to magazine restrictions, leaving responsible Americans more vulnerable to attack.

What we don’t need is passing ineffective legislation that restricts constitutional rights, what we do need is to focus on enforcing existing laws, addressing mental health issues, and targeting violent offenders. Contact your representative to please vote NO on the Keep Americans Safe Act and stand up for the Second Amendment.

Defend Veterans’ Rights: Support H.R. 1041, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act

Wayne Thorn

The Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act (H.R. 1041) is a crucial piece of legislation that protects the constitutional rights of those who have served our country. If you are a veteran or a supporter of the Second Amendment, now is the time to take action and contact your representative to demand support for this bill.

What is H.R. 1041?

Currently, thousands of veterans are unjustly stripped of their gun rights simply because they have a fiduciary trustee managing their VA benefits. Under current law, if the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) appoints someone to help a veteran manage their finances, that veteran can be reported to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as mentally incompetent—without due process. This means that veterans, who have honorably served our country, can lose their Second Amendment rights without ever being deemed a danger to themselves or others by a judge.

The Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act (H.R. 1041) seeks to correct this injustice by ensuring that no veteran is automatically placed in NICS unless a judge determines they pose a danger to themselves or others. This bill restores fairness and prevents bureaucratic overreach from unjustly infringing on veterans’ rights.

Why This Matters

  • Protects Due Process: Veterans should not lose their constitutional rights without a fair legal process.
  • Prevents Bureaucratic Overreach: The VA should not have the power to decide who can or cannot own a firearm without a judicial ruling.
  • Respects Those Who Served: Veterans fought to defend our freedoms; they should not have to fight their own government to keep their rights.

How You Can Help

H.R. 1041 needs strong support from both veterans and Second Amendment advocates. Here’s what you can do:

  1. Contact Your Representative – Call, email, or write to your congressional representative and urge them to support H.R. 1041.
  2. Spread the Word – Share this information with fellow veterans, gun rights supporters, and your community.
  3. Join Advocacy Groups – Organizations like the NRA, GOA, and VFW are fighting for veterans’ rights—consider joining them in their efforts.

Time to Act

The rights of our veterans are on the line. No veteran should be denied their Second Amendment freedoms without due process. H.R. 1041 is a common-sense bill that ensures fairness and protects the very people who fought for our freedoms.

📢 Contact your representative today and demand they support H.R. 1041!

Let’s stand up for those who stood up for us.

Here is a clip by a NYC Drag March on June 23, 2023

Gay colors

Wayne Thorn

We as parents care for the safety of our children and when during this Drag March they are chanting “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children,” and trying to groom our children this statement is horrifying, they have gone too far.

We must do whatever is needed to protect our children from such predators.
