What The Founders Feared :: 05/23/2021
Fox News published an article on March 11 entitled “Defense Secretary Austin overruled National Guard chief on keeping troops at Capitol: memo.” To the average reader, this may appear to be a sensationalized story throwing fuel on the embers of an already-charred issue in our Capitol. But the story captures the growing and troubling divide between the secretary of defense and the chief of the National Guard Bureau over the appropriate use of the National Guard, and reveals a much larger and more concerning dilemma — something our Founding Fathers feared most.
Gun control lacks common sense :: 05/22/2021
The Biden administration has proposed a myriad of “commonsense gun safety laws” which have little to do with common sense. While there is little evidence that supports a correlation between gun control legislation and a decrease in violent crime (in many cases, the opposite is true), Biden has falsely characterized gun violence as a “public health epidemic” and is using this caricature as a springboard to enact new policies that will do little to solve violent crime. Solving gun violence is a complex issue, and putting in place more gun control is not the answer.
Gun Rights Activist Tells Congress Education Can Reduce Shootings, Not More Laws :: 05/22/2021
A gun rights activist told the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Thursday that educating the public about gun safety, providing firearms training, and enforcing existing gun laws are the answers to reducing shootings, not more legislation like the two background check bills that recently passed the House.
Maine Case Shows Another Issue With Red Flag Laws :: 05/22/2021
The idea behind red flag laws is that you take guns away from those who may intend harm to others. Following Parkland, with all the red flags that surrounded the shooter, these laws gained in popularity. We were told they would prevent not just shootings, but also suicide. They’re supposed to be the bee’s knees in preventing so many tragedies.

Armed Citizen Steps In To Stop Harrassment Of Jewish Family :: 05/21/2021
The current fighting between Hamas and Israel has spilled over into the United States this week, and it’s getting ugly out there.

Colorado Bill Highlights Importance of Preemption Laws :: 05/21/2021

How Totalitarianism Rhymes Throughout History: Czechoslovakia, China, & Venezuela :: 05/21/2021

SC Police Chief Worried About New Open Carry Law :: 05/21/2021
I’m always amazed at the people who freak out over open carry. While I’m not a fan of it for strategic reasons, I’m a supporter of it politically. I recognize that it doesn’t represent a threat to anyone and that the Second Amendment says the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. It says nothing about an except for deciding how people can carry their guns.
CNN Is Shocked To Learn Gun Owners Aren’t Just Old, White Men :: 05/20/2021
One of the common misconceptions about gun owners is that we’re all old, white men. It’s an image that is frequently perpetuated, especially when the anti-gun Left attacks Americans for wanting to protect their right to keep and bear arms.
Mayor Vowed To Take "Illegal Guns Off The Street". Police Just Found One In Her Home :: 05/20/2021
Rochester, New York Mayor Lovely Warren is a typical Democrat politician when it comes to gun control. She’s complained about the number of “illegal guns on the streets” of the city, supported the state’s draconian gun control laws, and even announced a gun “buyback” earlier this week, claiming once again that “getting guns off our streets must be a priority.”

Anti-Gun Activist Complains About Media Bias :: 05/19/2021
One of my pet peeves in this world is media bias. I mean, we all know the media is biased as hell, but far too few people really seem to acknowledge it. Or, if they do, they seem to forget about that bias when the subject changes to something else.

Pittsburgh's Anti-Gun Mayor Loses Re-Election Primary :: 05/19/2021
Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto has spent the last few years painting himself as a gun control champion. He even passed local gun control in defiance of the state’s preemption law. In a blue city like Pittsburgh, one would think that would go a long way toward solidifying support for him.
Columnist's Trust Issues With Masks Accidentally Makes Case For Concealed Carry :: 05/18/2021
It’s been interesting to watch the reaction on the Left to the CDC’s new guidance on masks, with some states declaring that no longer will they “trust the science” coming out of the government agency and will keep their own restrictions in place for at least several more weeks. Some fully-vaccinated individuals are even saying they’ll continue wearing masks indefinitely, even though the vaccines offer far more protection than the masks themselves.
Media Betrayal and the End of the Trust Society :: 05/18/2021
We learn more when we listen than when we speak. I sat with some young lawyers who are far smarter than I am. After a while, they politely asked about my interests, and then asked me about mass murder with a firearm. We were both interested by what they knew and by what they didn’t know. We learned that the media failed them. What does it mean if the media has failed some of the brightest people we can find?
