Liberalism, Originalism, and the Constitution :: 07/09/2019
No one would mistake the Supreme Court’s liberal justices for adherents to the concept of “originalism,” or the belief that one should consider—first and foremost—the Founders’ intent when ruling on constitutional issues. And yet their opinions in the Maryland “Peace Cross” case suggests that they, at least implicitly, support the idea.
Recent Poll Suggests Gun Control Not Nearly As Popular As Claimed :: 07/09/2019
Ever since the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, we’ve heard plenty about how the public supports gun control. In some people’s minds, that’s the important thing. After all, who cares about rights if the majority doesn’t like that right?
Virginia Legislature Adjourns Special Gun Control Session Handing Gov. Northam Humiliating Defeat :: 07/09/2019
Today, the Virginia Governor Ralph ‘Coonman‘ Northam suffered a humiliating defeat in his effort to politically exploit the Virginia Beach spree killing. He called the legislature to a special session to consider a host of radical gun control measures in an effort to capitalize on a tragedy and make some political hay in an election year.
What Assault Weapon Ban Failure In Delaware Means For Rest of U.S. :: 07/09/2019
Delaware is smack-dab in the middle of one of the most anti-gun sections of the United States. It’s not the most anti-gun state by a long shot, but it’s surrounded by some of the worst of the lot. So, it would stand to reason that it would adopt some of the more popular gun control schemes out there.
Another State Just Passed Constitutional Carry :: 07/08/2019
The term “constitutional carry” is used for permitless carry for one very specific reason. That reason is that the Constitution says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed, and permit systems infringe on that right. By removing the requirement for a permit, a state returns to a more constitutional setting with regard to carrying a firearm.
Betsy Ross Flag: 5 Unknown Facts About This American Icon :: 07/08/2019
Second only to Old Glory itself, the Betsy Ross Flag is the American icon. Its clean design is similar to our current flag, with 13 stripes and only 13 stars in a circle (representing the equal status of what were then the 13 united individual sovereign nations). This simplicity is perhaps the reason for its popularity among American Patriots and Constitutionalists, as it hearkens back to an earlier time when America was still a place of freedom and resistance to tyranny.
How NOT to Defend Yourself: WALMART SHOOTING NORTH VERSAILLES: Woman who allegedly shot another woman inside Walmart turns herself in to police :: 07/08/2019
NORTH VERSAILLES, Pa. - The woman who Allegheny County Police believe is responsible for shooting another woman inside the North Versailles Walmart turned herself in Saturday evening.
Independence Day: The Forgotten History of America's 4th of July and What It Commemorates :: 07/08/2019
Every American knows what Independence Day is. Alongside Christmas and Thanksgiving, it’s one of the few holidays that hasn’t fallen prey to having to be celebrated on the closest Monday, rather than the actual day it falls on. However, less known is the history of the Fourth of July as a holiday. How did the celebrations emerge and what is the history of this, America’s birthday?
New Zealand: Noncompliance Kneecaps New Zealand's Gun Control Scheme :: 07/08/2019
Once again, responding to a horrendous crime by inflicting knee-jerk, authoritarian restrictions on innocent people proves to be an ineffective means of convincing people to obey. Specifically, New Zealand's government—which also stepped up censorship and domestic surveillance after bloody attacks on two Christchurch mosques earlier this year—is running into stiff resistance to new gun rules from firearms owners who are slow to surrender now-prohibited weapons and will probably never turn them in.
Violent Antifa Has Members Arming Themselves :: 07/08/2019
Antifa is a problem in this country. Calling themselves “antifascists,” the group more closely resembles Hitler’s Brownshirts than any anti-fascist movement I’ve ever seen. They’re quick to resort to violence and have since before the 2016 election. They’ve done everything from setting fires at their colleges over speakers to hitting people with bike locks. They’ve weaponized milkshakes and beaten journalists.
Andrew Cuomo is Winning :: 07/06/2019
New York/United States – -(AmmoLand.com)- When I first noted Andrew Cuomo’s efforts to misuse financial regulations against the National Rifle Association, I had hope that it would fail. I had hope that it would be like a last, desperate throw of the dice for one of the worst anti-Second Amendment extremists in the country. Furthermore, I had hope that its failure would be assured by the fact that Second Amendment supporters would unite against the abuses.
Armed Utah teachers practice responding to school shootings :: 07/06/2019
SPANISH FORK, Utah (AP) — Nancy Miramontes had 30 seconds to find the gunman. The Utah school psychologist weaved through a maze of dusty halls before spotting him in the corner of a classroom, holding a gun to a student’s head. She took a deep breath and fired three shots, the first time she’s ever used a gun. One bullet pierced the shooter’s forehead.
ATF Rescinds Prior Methods to Measure a Firearm's Overall Length when Equipped with a Stabilizing Brace :: 07/06/2019
Late yesterday, I received an email from an individual containing a letter from ATF which was a response to a correspondence requesting the correct method to “measure a firearm with a ‘stabilizing brace’ and folding adaptor.” It was explained that the correspondence was sent in the form of an email over a year ago and that the person had received a response via email shortly after it was sent. This letter was unsolicited and came over a year after the original request and response.
I met with my anti-gun state representative. Here's what happened :: 07/06/2019
Due to a new push for civilian disarmament in my state, I decided to do something I've never done before: Personally meet with my state representative to discuss the issues. While getting prepared for this meeting, I found essentially no useful information online. I even contacted the local grassroots group I am a member of, who's monthly newsletter occasionally contains reports of other member's visits, and got nothing useful. Instead, I was sent a list of decades-worn talking points. I already knew my representative would roll their eyes at these given their firm anti-gun leanings. I am writing about my experience to share what I learned by doing, and to hopefully inspire you to do the same.
Defending The Pro-Gun Sanctuary City Idea :: 07/05/2019
I-1639 is probably the most screwed-up anti-gun law we’ve seen yet, and considering the nonsense we see from places like California, New York, and New Jersey, that’s saying something.
Independence Day: What It Really Means :: 07/05/2019
You’ll notice that I didn’t say, “Happy Fourth of July.” I much prefer Happy Independence Day because it reminds me of what the day really stands for. But it is certainly a day to spend picnicking, barbecuing, attending a rodeo or baseball game, popping fireworks or just spending time with friends and family. I just hope that each of you will take a moment to reflect on the reason for the holiday.
Mexico murder rate reaches all-time high :: 07/05/2019
Mexico saw a record number of murders in the first six months of the year, with an average 94 killings each day, according to the Mexico News Daily.
Northam (VA. Gov.) Offers Anti-Gun Wish List, None Would Have Stopped Va Beach :: 07/05/2019
Virginia Governor Ralph Northam wants his state to pass gun control. Yet, the legislature refused to do so during the regular session.
Why Have Civil Liberties-Loving Liberals Become Anti-Gun and Anti-Free Speech? :: 07/05/2019
What does being anti-gun rights have to do with leftist politics? I mean really think about it objectively. When I was a kid growing up —in a very liberal area— both Democrats and Republicans owned guns for target shooting, hunting, and self-defense. It didn’t seem as much a left-right issue. So, why the decline over the past few decades in Democrat support for gun rights? Not all that long ago, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) received an A rating from the NRA.
Eric Swalwell's Gun Grabbing Poll Gets Shot Down on Twitter :: 07/04/2019
