A Condescending Anti-Gun Argument :: 01/09/2020
Tom Nichols can’t think of good reasons that people would carry guns and take an interest in gun policy. That’s telling.
Bloomberg Visits Virginia, Scolds Gun Owners :: 01/09/2020
Former New York mayor and gun control sugar daddy Michael Bloomberg was in Richmond, Virginia as the state legislative session kicked off on Wednesday. Bloomberg, who spent millions in the state backing anti-gun candidates in the 2019 elections, used his time in the Old Dominion to scold gun owners for the Second Amendment Sanctuary push in the state, and to urge them to urge them to turn in their guns to local police.

A Reminder Why Barring Gun Sales To People On Lists Is Bad :: 01/08/2020
A while back, Republicans floated the idea of barring people on gang lists from buying guns. It wasn’t very different from Democrats who push to bar folks on the no-fly list from exercising their Second Amendment rights, though probably slightly more reality-based. However, Democrats weren’t fond of the idea in the least.
Californians May Wonder if the Constitution Applies to Them in 2020 :: 01/08/2020
As of Jan. 1, 2020, California is part of the United States of America, at least in the official sense. Even so, Californians have good cause to wonder about their rights under the U.S. Constitution, starting with the First Amendment.
Hot Mic Catches Dems Plotting How To Ignore Gun Testimony :: 01/08/2020
The legislative process really looks kind of arcane to most folks who aren’t familiar with it. In theory, lawmakers simply vote on the issues. In reality, though, there’s more to it. One of the things that many forget takes place is the testimony and debate surrounding the bills. In theory, this allows lawmakers to make sure they’re fully informed on what’s in the bill so they know what they’re voting for.
NYU Prof Slams SAFE Act As Example Of "Symbolic Politics" :: 01/08/2020
New York’s SAFE Act has been on the books for almost seven years now, which is long enough for folks to form an opinion about how well the package of gun control laws is working in the state. New York University law professor James Jacobs has been studying the law and its effects for years, and he’s come to the conclusion that the law is a failure; an “exercise in symbolic politics” rather than a real public safety measure.
Armed Citizens Stop Murderer After Gun Control Fails at Texas Church :: 01/07/2020
An armed murderer entered a Texas church last week. Armed parishioners stopped him in seconds and saved hundreds of lives. Some anti-rights politicians didn’t like that public demonstration of self-defense. These politicians, and some Hollywood celebrities, called for more gun control. We know that self-defense worked, but I was shocked at how badly gun-control failed to keep us safe. Let’s look at the record.
The Big Dollar, Dark Money Contributions That Fund March For Our Lives :: 01/07/2020
March For Our Lives holds itself up as a grassroots gun control org, much like Moms Demand Action. And just like the Moms, the (supposedly) student-led March For Our Lives organization gets their funding not from the little people, but from a group of big dollar donors.
The Origin of an Armed Citizenry :: 01/07/2020
Recent events have shown that America is on the precipice of radically redefining her ancestral right to bear arms. Every major Democratic Presidential candidate has expressed intent to push through sweeping gun control legislation, and the Virginia legislature recently voted to enact an unprecedented policy of rifle confiscations, to name a few. It has become clear that a large segment of the population views the second amendment as an archaic tradition that has long outlived its use. A smaller minority sees it as the remnant of a racist history that should be abolished in the same vein as slavery or Jim Crowe. However, far too little has been said of the tradition that led to James Madison’s inclusion of the Second Amendment in his bill of rights.
Virginia Plans To Outlaw Indoor Gun Ranges, Carrying Firearms In Vehicles :: 01/07/2020
A microcosm war is being waged in Virginia between people who believe in individual liberty provided by the Constitution of the United States and leftists who want to shred the document and enslave the population, many people argue. And, the fight just escalated.
FL County Leads State In Red Flag Orders, Illustrates Issues :: 01/06/2020
One of the problems I have with red flag laws is how their use gets turned around and used to justify their existence. There’s almost never any real way to study whether guns are taken from people who represent actual threats and whether they’re taken from people for a multitude of other reasons that have nothing to do with actual danger to others.
Women Need to Develop a Concealed-Carry Mindset :: 01/06/2020
“How does concealed-carry training differ for women?” As a firearms trainer at Gunsite Academy, when I was asked this question, the usual topics sprang to mind: Should we adapt our clothing to firearms or is it the other way around? Should we choose handguns that are best suited for us smaller folk? Should we carry in a purse (on-body carry is always better, but there are times…)?

Inconvenient Truths About Guns and Gun Control :: 01/03/2020
Politicians and journalists often portray fiction as fact. It is easy to be opinionated, but hard to be informed. This came to mind as I listened to Virginia Democrats tell us we’d be safer if we were disarmed.

As a Democrat, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi doesn’t usually get a lot of guff from the media. She can pretty much do and say whatever she wants.
What the Founders Actually Thought About Slavery :: 01/03/2020
One of the ironies of the current American “elite” is that, rather than actually being elite, they have the smug self-assurance of knowing much that isn’t so.
2019 Was a Bad Year for the 'Only Cops Should Have Guns' Narrative :: 01/02/2020
On December 29, an armed gunman entered the West Freeway Church of Christ in Texas and shot two members of the congregation. Within six seconds, a third member of the congregation drew a weapon and shot the gunman dead.
