John Farnam’s stark warning cuts through the noise like a suppressed AR-15: open borders flooding streets with unvetted criminals, reform-driven policies emptying jails of violent offenders, and a Democrat playbook eyeing your firearms next. Drawing from his decades as a tactical firearms instructor, Farnam spotlights how sanctuary cities and soft-on-crime DAs—like those in blue strongholds from San Francisco to Chicago—are creating a perfect storm. Violent crime surges (FBI stats show a 30% homicide spike in major cities post-2020 reforms), yet the response isn’t tougher enforcement—it’s disarming law-abiding citizens. Think Australia’s 1996 buyback on steroids: mandatory red flag seizures without due process, now supercharged by ATF’s pistol brace rule and Biden’s ghost gun crusade.

This isn’t hyperbole; it’s pattern recognition. California’s Prop 47 slashed penalties for theft and drug crimes, turning felons into repeat revolving-door players—over 20,000 violent offenders released early under Newsom’s watch alone. Pair that with border chaos (CBP reports 10 million encounters since 2021, including cartel enforcers with rap sheets longer than a mag dump), and you’ve got armed predators roaming free while gun owners face SWAT raids for assault weapons. Farnam’s call to arms? Train hard, carry concealed, and vote like your life depends on it—because data from the Crime Prevention Research Center shows armed citizens stop attacks 94% of the time, no shots fired in most cases.

For the 2A community, the implications scream urgency: this is asymmetrical warfare on self-reliance. While elites bunker down with private security, they’re engineering a monopoly of force for the state and its favored thugs. Stock up on ammo, fortify your state-level defenses (hello, constitutional carry expansions in 29 states), and amplify voices like Farnam’s. The plan’s in motion—will you be the sheepdog or the statistic? Stay vigilant, stay armed.
