The Biden administration has sunk to a new low in its anti-gun crusade, reportedly withholding funds from schools that have hunting or archery programs as part of their curriculum, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms said today.

Fox News is reporting the administration “is blocking key federal funding earmarked under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for schools with hunting and archery programs. This is allegedly happening because the administration may be “misinterpreting” provisions in the ESEA and last year’s Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA), as suggested by Texas Sen. John Cornyn and Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, both Republicans.

“While we appreciate the diplomacy exhibited by Senators Cornyn and Tillis,” said CCRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb, “we’re not convinced the Biden administration is making an innocent mistake here. Quite the opposite, in fact.

This appears to be just another manifestation of Joe Biden’s crusade against anything promoting a positive approach to firearms, especially if it is taught in elementary and secondary schools, where young people can learn about genuine firearms safety, and perhaps prevent a tragedy.

“We’re joining our friends at the National Shooting Sports Foundation and Safari Club International in raising alarms because this appears to be just one more attack on the Second Amendment by the Biden administration,” he added. “But instead of confining his hostility to the grown men and women of the outdoors and the larger shooting community, now the strategy includes depriving youngsters of opportunities to learn valuable life skills.

“Maybe if Biden’s own son had enjoyed such an opportunity as a youngster,” Gottlieb said, “he might have known better than to do something which has now landed him in court.

“Having watched Joe Biden throughout his political career, embracing every gun control measure to come along,” he observed, “this was almost predictable. History has demonstrated that if there’s a way to impair any positive firearms program, he will find it.”

    • We must call them out for what they really are, scum that says ‘safety’, but really wants dead kids…

    • So I read the linked Fox article, and there is no information whatsoever regarding a specific school or academic program where funding had been denied. And there’s no statement or document from any Department of Education official or office regarding this.

      All of the hyperlinks in the article’s text just refer back to another Fox article, they show no original source documents to support their reporting.
      Wouldn’t a bit more comprehensive reporting include an interview or at least seeking a statement from the DOE?

      Could anybody here cite a specific school where this funding has been cut?

  1. DANG NO $$$ DUE TO HUNTING CLASS , HOW GONA LEARN TO SHOOT THA ENEMY WHEN NEED TO .. O HAVE TO JOIN THA MILITARY .. GOT IT YA’ALL ..
    LEFT RIGHT LEFT …

    • That is the responsibility of ‘We the People’ and the authority comes directly from the Declaration of Independence. As long as the ideology of liberalism and progressiveism is allowed. It’s acolytes, sycophants and zealots will always be a threat to the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Just as the British Crown and it’s tyranny was to the colonists in the mid to late 1700s and early 1800s. Such tyranny cannot be bargained with or voted down. It must eliminated.

      • “the authority comes directly from the Declaration of Independence“

        There’s a breathtaking claim you don’t hear every day.

        • Once again Miner49er demonstrates his ignorance and not knowing what ‘context’ is.

  2. Biden is an UTTERLY deranged anti-2A POS. democrat policies equal human suffering and depravity.

    • Biden is nothing more than a Manchurian Candidate. His handlers are making all the decisions and simply telling him what to say and do. It’s the tradeoff made by the Democrat leadership for allowing an old to live out his dream of being president.

  3. So we’re stealing money from schools that teach responsible gun ownership, and throwin money at schools that push gender reassignment!? What a country!!!

    • Each state needs to forbid school districts from accepting any federal funds. All education should be funded locally ans tell the feds to pound sand.

    • “What a country!!!”

      Ukrainian-American comedian Yakov Smirnoff is an enthusiastic gun owner…

    • Priorities Dennis. Do you think they’d rather use their indoctrination centers to turn kids into confused libs or practical conservatives?

  4. Archery!!??!! WTH. I thought they were down with the Katniss krap. Dims AND RINOS suck😕😧🙄

    • the Senate vote record > https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1181/vote_118_1_00212.htm

      The United States Undetectable Firearms Act (18 U.S.C. § 922(p)) makes it illegal to manufacture, import, sell, ship, deliver, possess, transfer, or receive any firearm that is not as detectable by walk-through metal detection as a security exemplar containing 3.7 oz (105 g) of steel, or any firearm with major components that do not generate an accurate image before standard airport imaging technology.

      • I emptied my pockets and walked through the scanner and got pulled aside for a plastic comb that I didn’t take out of my back pocket. Looking forward to walking through DIA’s scanners with my new titanium hips! They look like wheel guns ready to go!

        • Haven’t flown since they started this bullshit. I will not be searched unless i committed a crime. Unreasonable search and seizure. if you want your rights back, you shut down airline travel until this stops.

      • As a practical matter, ‘undetectable firearms’ don’t exist…

  5. “the administration “is blocking key federal funding earmarked under the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965 for schools with hunting and archery programs.”

    Sleep with the devil, reap the consequences. Tell the Feds to go fuck themselves and fund your schools locally.

  6. I’m not sure I understand. My firearms/hunting safety class was shooting and hunting. I, and my classmates, carried our firearms to school every day. Never a single act of violence. Well, the occasional fist fight. Mr. Johnson took care of that in short order. Didn’t matter if you won or lost the fist fight. You were going to get your ass beat anyway.

  7. I am not surprised that Cornyn & Tillis didn’t know you can’t make deals with the devil. He’ll get you every time. That they don’t feel betrayed by the Führer shows just how stupid they are. I mean, really, “there must be some mistake” is their response? Please! Yeah, there was a mistake, it was theirs!

    • Is this like when Reagan said it was a mistake to give citizenship to illegals? Was it really a mistake? I don’t think we should give either of them a pass.

      • “Reagan said it was a mistake to give citizenship to illegals“

        “Peter Robinson, a former Reagan speechwriter, agrees. “It was in Ronald
        Reagan’s bones — it was part of his understanding of America — that the country was fundamentally open to those who wanted to join us here.”

        Reagan said as much himself in a televised debate with Democratic presidential nominee Walter Mondale in 1984.

        “I believe in the idea of amnesty for those who have put down roots and lived here, even though sometime back they may have entered illegally,” he said.“

        • *He supposedly said he regretted it later. If he said that, it was a lie. It was intentional. That’s my point. The Reagan worshipers probably made up the regret story so he wouldn’t look bad.

  8. Nobody knew what was in it, and nobody that voted for it cared. But at least it removed restrictions on kickbacks to pharmaceutical middlemen, which is something we can all stand behind.

  9. Well, unfortunately, those that complain about the military-industrial complex forgot to read the rest of President Eisenhower’s final address.

    Where he talked about the dangers of federal spending on education. And how schools would become corrupted by federal money.

    And whatever the federal government wanted the schools would do. In order to keep getting federal $$$.

    btw
    I understand the federal government will give money to schools if they teach the oral and anal to children.

  10. why are the democrats like that? Back in the 50’s The gov’t and schools supported shooting and encouraged Standing up for the country and be patriotic, now it’s against american values and tearing the constitution and bill of rights down. Now the schools teach the flaws in american, the shame of history and they encourage to be against everything. They are tearing america apart. When the time comes for America to call up soldiers to defend itself, will the young step up?

  11. Far Right Nut Cases have declared themselves a Second Amendment Sanctuary and taken over Shasta County in California and declared that they will interpret the Constitution or ignore it if it does not fit their far right agenda. They have also declared the will ignore all State and Federal Laws as well if they do not agree with them.

    They have fallen victim to the “Kruger Effect” and fired or forced to leave all of the prior county administrators with decades of governmental experience including firing the Health Director because she did not keep the county open during the Covid Epidemic which undoubtedly saved thousands of lives including many of the goose stepping jackbooted Neanderthals that fired her.

    Despite holding a “Public Meeting” they attacked a news reporter and had her kicked out of the meeting trashing freedom of speech which is something Jackbooted Nazi’s always have first on their agenda.

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/opinion-shasta-county-declared-itself-a-2nd-amendment-safe-space-here-s-why-that-s-so-dangerous/ar-AA1ew05n?ocid=U143DHP&pc=U143&cvid=2b452ac40976461c9704a669d2d7ccd7&ei=22

    Just as I predicted the Supreme Court trashed the far right radical nut case lower court judge that ruled anyone could build his own ghost gun.

    • That isn’t what happened at scotus. You’re just too uneducated and low iq to understand what is going on.

      2a sanctuary sites are the modern equivalent of the Underground Railroad. So naturally a fascist racist like yourself hate them.

      • The Underground Railroad is a very good example, of local and state resistance to federal tyranny. 2A sanctuaries are just the modern example.

    • “Just as I predicted the Supreme Court trashed the far right radical nut case lower court judge that ruled anyone could build his own ghost gun”

      100% lie.

  12. Remember, when they tell you they just want to make sure gun owners are properly trained, they are lying.

  13. Cornyn and Murphy are both seditious TURDS. This serves CAVE-IN CORNYN right. I know I’ll not be voting for his sorry ass next time he runs. Had to hold my nose too tight in voting for him this last time he ran.

  14. With these leftist RINOs like Corynhole and Eye-patch McCain down there in Texas it shows that Texas is only a few years away from becoming another Colorado.

  15. Joe Biden Attacking 2A Through Children! DEFUNDS Archery & Hunting Education Programs.

    Must need to fund that Democrat program that wants tax dollars to pay for kids as young as 7 to ‘transition’ with drugs and surgery mutilation to a make believe gender.

  16. Seeingthe crap that FOX comes out with is this another false news stror because I cannot find any reference to ,it outside. of what you are reporting ‘what FOX says.
    Any way what the hell has HUNTING got to do with a School Curriculum- no wonder most Americans are so ignorant if they spend time teaching HUNTING as part of a curriculum. I can perhaps understand ARCHERY as a part of a sports programme. I was a toxopholist myself at one time though I did not study it a school -I was too bloody busy with MATHS; PHYSICS, CHEMISTRY , ENGLISH, HISTORY FRENCH and ENGINEERING DRAWING but after all it is an OLYMPIC SPORT.
    In the meantime perhaps you could provide us with the PERCENTAGE of American Schools that have HUNTING as part of their schools curriculum. I bet it ain’t many if any that is!

    In the meantime what an utter load of bullshit!!
