New Zealand: NZ Will Take Guns From Citizens, But Not Gangs :: 07/05/2020
Following the Christchurch massacre, the country of New Zealand began a jihad against the AR-15 and similar style rifles. They wanted to purge them from the nation, tripping over themselves to disarm their populace who did nothing wrong, simply because of the actions of one deranged individual. It’s a scene we’ve watched play out other places, but it was no less painful.
Explained: Why the U.S. Government Banned Certain Glock Guns :: 07/04/2020

It Seems ATF Behind Ghost Gun Hysteria :: 07/03/2020
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, also known as the ATF, is not exactly a favorite agency to gun owners. Of course, there’s a lot of reasons why, and not just because they’re in charge of enforcing gun control laws. It’s because they’ve been caught doing some pretty hinky stuff through the years and none of us appreciate it.
People, officers left trapped in vehicles by swarms of protesters -- but officials mute on how to handle :: 07/03/2020
Protesters who have taken to streets around the country to demand a national reckoning on racial injustice since the death of George Floyd have used the tactic of blocking traffic – and in some instances captured on video – have swarmed cars, jumped on the hoods and even attacked drivers.
When The Wolf At The Door Is Your Governor :: 07/03/2020
The novel coronavirus pandemic has many Americans struggling to keep the wolf from the door of their homes and businesses. For Pennsylvanians, the threat is even more menacing, because the Wolf at their doors is the governor. Worse yet, the state supreme court just invited him in.
All You Need to Know about Alexis de Tocqueville :: 07/02/2020
Before he died in 2016, the historian Ralph Raico—an expert on the history of classical liberalism—donated his personal notes and library to the Mises Institute. Archivists later found among his notes a lengthy essay (or monograph) on the French political scientist Alexis de Tocqueville.
Has Anyone Told Kelly Loeffler The Second Amendment Applies To Everyone? :: 07/02/2020
In 2015, a group called the National African American Gun Association formed with the intention to “promote self-protection.” Since the 2016 election, this organization has seen its membership soar, in some measure due to the concern (I would argue the fact) that the president of the United Sates is a racist who is emboldening racism in our society. The more black Americans embrace or utilize their Second Amendment rights in public, however, the more you see alarm being expressed by people who are traditionally “pro-gun.”
It Is Not Illegal in Pennsylvania to Wear a Mask While Carrying a Firearm :: 07/02/2020
Although I was previously quoted in an article, FACT CHECK: Viral Image Claims It Is Illegal To Wear A Mask If You Have A Concealed Carry Permit In Pennsylvania, explaining that it is not illegal in Pennsylvania to wear a mask while conceal carrying a firearm, pursuant to a valid license to carry firearms, few individuals seem to be aware of the article.

When Can You Threaten Deadly Force as a Defensive Tactic? :: 07/02/2020
This question is in the news because of the St. Louis controversy (see, e.g., here and here); but I thought I'd discuss it more broadly, because the answer is surprisingly unsettled.
College Official Out After Touting Study's Pro-Cop Findings :: 07/01/2020
The left likes to call anyone to the right of them: “anti-science.” They say that because we don’t buy the hysteria on things like climate change and similar topics, of course, which is fine. They can call us whatever they like. After all, they’re going to do it anyway.
Innocence and Proportionality: Self-Defense Considerations during Civil Unrest :: 07/01/2020
By its very nature, a crowd can be unpredictable and dangerous. Currently, our nation is again swept with civil unrest. For the armed citizen, the best solution to dealing with such demonstrations is to avoid them at all costs. However, it is possible to get caught in the middle of a demonstration through no fault of your own. If forced to defend yourself in such a situation there are several legal considerations that should be foremost on your mind. Dealing with the anxiety created by a large and aggressive crowd can lead to poor decision making.
What do the statistics, not the stereotypes, about killings by the police tell us? :: 07/01/2020
During my civil rights career, I was inspired by Martin Luther King Jr.’s dream that people be judged by the content of their character. Now, however, when it comes to the police, that ideal is discarded.
Who Believes the 'Nobody is Going to Take Your Guns Away' Line Now? :: 07/01/2020
The most accomplished of liars eventually come to believe their own lies. And so it is that the people who have been insisting for years that “nobody wants to take away your guns” cannot stop repeating that lie even when they are openly proposing the confiscation of the most commonly owned firearms in the United States.

Gun control advocates, like everyone else in the country, are weighing in on Mark and Patricia McCloskey, the St. Louis homeowners who displayed their firearms after they say they were threatened by protesters who were trespassing while marching to the home of Mayor Lyda Krewson. As you can imagine, anti-gun activists are appalled, and not only by the admittedly poor firearms handling displayed by the pair. Kris Brown, the head of the gun control group Brady, took to Twitter with this hot take alleging that the McCloskeys could have been legally shot by protesters.
Joe Biden's Cannon Claim Shows He's Wrong On History And Gun Control :: 06/30/2020

Measure Introduced To Require D.C. State To Back Gun Rights :: 06/30/2020
For years now, there’s been talk of making the District of Columbia a state. There are valid reasons why they should be a state, too, since residents don’t get congressional representation in any meaningful way, yet are required to pay taxes just like the rest of us. No taxation without representation and all that jazz.
Commedian's Attempt To Paint Gun Folks As Racists Fails :: 06/29/2020
“Comedian” Sacha Baron Cohen has tried to make gun rights advocates look ridiculous in the past. He has a habit of pretending to be someone he’s not, saying ridiculous things to ordinary people, then filming the reaction. That’s apparently the totality of his “comedy.”
Nope, They Really Do Want to - Burn It All Down! :: 06/29/2020
He wasn’t being figurative. He wasn’t being symbolic. When Hawk Newsome—the leader of Black Lives Matter in New York—said for America to give him what he wanted or that he would “burn it down,” even though he pretended otherwise, he was being literal.
