Quote Of The Week
"In a despotic government, the only principle by which the tyrant who is to move the whole machine means to regulate and manage the people is fear, by the servile dread of his power.

SCOTUS Agrees To Hear Case That May Ultimately Undermine ATF :: 12/11/2018

Appeals Court Confirms Preemption Applies To Arena Authority :: 12/05/2018
