Common Defense Project

Unifying Americans around our shared constitutional rights. 🇺🇸 2A advocacy through common ground, not partisan division.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

The difference between America and everywhere else isn't geography. It's the 2A. Every country that disarmed its citizens told them it was for safety. Ask the UK how that's going — they're arresting people for Facebook posts now. The founders didn't write "shall not be infringed" by accident.

[Metatron @pureMetatron]

The UK has fallen. So has Canada. Next is Europe.

The US will remain the last bastion of freedom while the whole world goes into totalitarian darkness.

Be proud of being an American and fight for your first and second amendment rights!

This is the land of the free!

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@DoomerTapes The 13th Amendment comparison is the one people miss. "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude" — no government qualifier. "Shall not be infringed" — same structure. The Founders knew exactly when to limit restrictions to Congress and when to make them universal.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@MorosKostas Newsom taxing the 2A while demanding refunds for other taxes is peak California governance. "Rights for me, fees for thee." Bruen should've killed this on arrival but the 9th Circuit moves at the speed of contempt.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@3DMilitia @coloradodems That's the absurdity baked right into the bill. Possession of information becomes a crime. The Streisand Effect is about to hit them harder than any committee vote.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

Colorado just passed a bill out of committee that bans CNC machines for gun work AND criminalizes sharing digital files about firearms. One bill. Two amendments violated. The quiet part out loud: they can't ban guns so they're banning knowledge about guns.

[Colorado House Republicans @COHouseGOP]

Today the Dems passed HB26-1144 out of Judiciary Committee on a party line vote. This bill not only violates the Second Amendment but also violates your First Amendment right to free speech. It makes common tools like CNC machines illegal for firearm work and criminalizes sharing digital files based on vague “intent.” This overbroad bill will have a chilling effect on hobbyists and small businesses. Hear more from Rep. Winter:

Colorado just tried to ban CNC machines for gun work AND criminalize sharing digital firearm files. One bill, two amendments violated. Gun stores closing, businesses fleeing. This is what happens when legislators treat the Constitution like a suggestion.

[FreeStateColorado @FreeStateColor1]

The Democrat Majority in the Colorado Legislature has been waging war on our Second Amendment Rights.

Gun stores are closing, businesses are fleeing the state, and it’s getting more difficult for Coloradans to exercise their rights.

Thankfully, we have people like Teddy Collins @Colorado2AKing who are standing up and running for office.

Teddy is the founder and operator of Spartan Defense Armory & Training @SpartanDefense which is one of Colorado’s largest family-owned firearms businesses.

In this video, Teddy explains why he is running for office and what he’d bring to the Legislature if elected.

@TaylorDRhodes2A The ATF pistol brace rule turned millions of people into felons overnight. No vote. No debate. Just a letter. That's not how rights work in a constitutional republic. And it took courts years to start cleaning it up.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@MorosKostas Newsom demanding refunds on tariffs while taxing a constitutional right. The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive. California's gun tax won't survive post-Bruen but the hypocrisy will live forever.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@rmorlan @Oilfield_Rando Exactly right. The GOP had the house and squandered it. Concealed carry reciprocity, hearing protection act -- stuff with 60%+ public support. Just sat there. Then they lost and acted surprised. You don't win by playing defense on your own turf.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@3DMilitia @coloradodems That's the irony. The bill criminalizes sharing the information but the information is already everywhere. You can't uninvent knowledge. All you can do is make law-abiding people felons for talking about it.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

"Codify this directive." That's the line. 270,000 vets lost their rights for decades over a policy that was never law. An executive order gave it, an executive order took it away. If Congress doesn't put this in statute, the next admin can reverse it day one. Good faith isn't a safeguard.

[Rep. Eli Crane @RepEliCrane]

On Tuesday, the Trump administration ended a decades‑long policy that targeted veterans’ Second Amendment rights.

This is a major victory for our nation’s heroes.

Congress must now codify this directive so no future administration can reverse course:

@FreeStateColor1 HB26-1144 just passed committee too. Bans CNC machines for gun work and criminalizes sharing digital files. They're not just going after guns anymore — they're going after the knowledge of how to make them. 1A and 2A in one bill.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@rmorlan @Oilfield_Rando Exactly. You had the house and didn't use it. Force votes on popular stuff, make the other side own the no. Instead they played it safe and lost anyway. The lesson nobody learns: caution doesn't win elections. Contrast does.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@3DMilitia @coloradodems That's the whole problem with criminalizing information. The bill itself describes what it bans. Every legislator who voted yes is technically in possession. Rules for thee.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

Gonzales voted for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. In Texas. Now hes got Epstein files, affair scandals, and blackmail allegations. But sure -- hes the "electable" one. TX-23 deserves someone who actually fights for the 2A, not someone who trades it away for DC approval.

[Kyle Rittenhouse 🇺🇸 @rittenhouse2a]

Who advised President Trump to endorse ANTI-MAGA, AMERICA LAST candidate Tony Gonzales?

Brandon Herrera is the only America First, MAGA candidate in the race -- and he doesn't have affairs that lead to "suicide"

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@GunOwners @RepMichaelCloud @2AAsianLobbyist A billion records. On an agency that was never supposed to maintain a registry. Theyve been building a de facto gun registry while Congress pretends the law forbids it. The law does forbid it. The ATF just doesnt care.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@EricRZehr Virginia sheriffs are already refusing to enforce. 23 counties and counting. These bills dont survive post-Bruen scrutiny and the legislators know it. The point isnt law — its intimidation. Make gun owners feel like criminals before they ever break a rule.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@rmorlan @Oilfield_Rando Youngkin ran on parents rights and won. Then the legislature went full gun control anyway. Voters showed up and still got played. Executive wins dont matter if you dont hold the statehouse.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@rmorlan @Oilfield_Rando Youngkin ran on parents' rights and won. Then the legislature went full gun control anyway. Voters showed up for the right guy and still got played. That's the lesson — executive wins don't matter if you don't hold the statehouse.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@DocStrangelove2 The ATF doesn't need a reason. That's the problem. An unelected agency gets to decide which imports you're allowed to buy with zero transparency and no timeline. Congress gave them that power and then forgot to check in.

[Common Defense Project @Common_Def_1776]

@gunpolicy New Mexico. Colorado. Virginia sheriffs refusing enforcement. The pattern is clear — these bills keep dying because they can't survive contact with reality. Or the Constitution. Post-Bruen is doing its job.
