Sen. Mark Kelly is facing a misconduct probe by the Department of War, and he should probably have faced one long ago for his anti-gun advocacy. Well, maybe not, but a guy can dream. I mean, the dude has been undermining the Second Amendment with every breath for years now. Still, it took something more to trigger that investigation, and the notorious video instructing members of the military not to follow "illegal orders," without mentioning any such example, is nothing but an attack on good order and discipline.
I wrote about it because of Kelly's vocal anti-gun advocacy, and that it was a misconduct investigation.
But his fellow travelers, who aren't facing any Department of War investigation at this time, aren't exactly new to attacking the right to keep and bear arms, either, as noted over at Ammoland.
The group of six Democratic lawmakers (all with military or national-security backgrounds) — now widely dubbed the “Seditious Six” — are attempting to cloak themselves in constitutional righteousness.
In a highly politicized video, they urged U.S. service members to “refuse illegal orders,” a message so ambiguous and inflammatory that the Pentagon launched a formal misconduct investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly.
But none of this should surprise anyone who has followed their careers. For years, the Seditious Six have marched in lockstep with the most aggressive gun-control lobbies in America — pushing legislation aimed at regulating, restricting, or eliminating the firearms owned by millions of peaceful, law-abiding citizens.
Their “constitutional” posturing now is not an isolated event. It is the latest escalation in a long, coordinated effort to weaken the Second Amendment while hiding behind military credentials and patriotic language.
Here’s the breakdown.
The Shared Agenda: Every Major Gun-Control Proposal, Straight Down the Line
Each member of the Seditious Six has consistently advanced the core priorities of Washington’s gun-control lobby:
- Universal Background Checks on All Sales: A federal “universal” background-check mandate — including private transfers — which gun owners correctly view as an undeclared firearm registry.
- Red-Flag / ERPO Confiscation Orders: Seizure of firearms without a criminal conviction, relying on the weakest standard of due process available in civil court. A model ripe for abuse.
- Bans on Semi-Automatic Rifles & Standard Magazines: Every member supports bans or restrictions targeting the most common modern rifles and magazines in America — the same rifles used by millions for lawful home defense, hunting, and competition.
- Federal Safe-Storage Mandates: Government-dictated rules on how Americans store firearms inside their own homes. Noncompliance means punishment; compliance means surrendering personal autonomy to unelected regulators.
Individually, each proposal is bad enough. Taken together, they amount to a federal re-engineering of gun ownership itself.
And now, with their “refuse illegal orders” stunt, they appear willing to add sedition to their portfolio.
Now, honestly, while I find the accusations of sedition to have a lot more merit than the word "insurrection" had throughout the last administration, the reality is that there was enough wiggle room that I don't think anyone is going to get charged with anything. "We weren't being seditious. We were just reminding troops of their duty to refuse to follow illegal orders in a general sense," they can claim, and nothing they specifically said in the video runs counter to that.
And troops do have a duty to ignore illegal orders. The problem is that there aren't any being issued, and we all know that some dipsticks out there are going to try to use that as a defense against charges of insubordination, as they claim the order they refused to follow was illegal, simply because they don't like it.
Yet it's not like they don't have a history of trying to destabilize this nation, as is evidenced above. Every single one has a long record of anti-gun activism and ideological votes despite their service and their oaths to defend the Constitution... including the Second Amendment.
Then again, it's amazing the number of people who swore that oath and then just pick and choose the parts of the Constitution they want to defend. These six are far from unusual in that regard.
And that's probably the worst part in my book. They should be unusual, and they're not.
Still, these six have hidden behind their credentials, posing as patriotic Americans, all while they use their current positions to undermine the very things that make this nation great. It's a shame that voters elected these knobs to office. It's a shame that there's little chance of them being voted out because of this disaster, as well.
