Illinois SB 1966 is a draconian bill that will increase Firearms Owner ID card fees, require mandatory fingerprinting (at gun owner’s expense), and make the FOID card valid for only 5 years instead of 10. You MUST have one of these cards in the Land of Lincoln to legally posses a firearm (although a few […]
If you answered “yes” to all three questions above, then there’s an upcoming dinner party you might want to crash attend. From Patriot Picket comes news of an event that a Maryland law firm — one that specializes in “government relations” — is throwing for members of the state Senate’s Judicial Proceedings Committee: Bellamy Genn […]
On February 6, Illinois Congressman Brad Schneider escalated attacks on the National Rifle Association’s tax exempt status, pushing for an IRS investigation on top of the probes currently under way by the Attorneys General of New York state and the District of Columbia.

FOIA is your friend. These documents come directly from the second in command in the Land of Lincoln, the Illinois Lieutenant Governor’s office (when she’s not waiting in line to buy marijuana).

Virginia Senate Majority Leader Dick Saslaw introduced Senate Bill 16 (amongst many other gun control bills): You can hear on hot mic (whoops) what Virginia dems think of ”gun nuts” during what he tweeted about (below) today. Have a watch and listen (between seconds :24 and :56): Gun control […]
It looks like there’s no stopping the guerrilla activist movement that Virginia locals have started in response to state Democrats’ push for more restrictions on their Second Amendment rights. First reported in the Culpeper Star-Exponent, flyers and posters featuring the blackface and klan image from Governor Ralph Northam’s college yearbook are showing up all around […]
Moms Demand Action is good at a few things. They’re good at selling their brand and getting lots of media attention (just check out how they first gained momentum). They’re also good at lobbying in state capitals, like their upcoming Virginia lobby day on 1/8/20. Those red-shirted women make for good photo ops and MDA […]
Over the past few weeks, some residents of Virginia, working on their own, have begun brainstorming on a billboard campaign to show that they will not stand idly by while Virginia’s Governor (whose blackface scandal even had Mike Bloomberg telling him to step down) plans stomp all over their rights. The planning is taking place […]
It should come as no surprise that Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America lobbied hard against the Texas law that allowed Jack Wilson and other parishioners to defend themselves in their church. Just take a look at the “against” witness list for SB 535 Now, after the law ensured that lives were […]
Virginia Democrats and Governor Ralph Northam may have opened an even bigger can of worms than they intended with their rhetoric about enforcing proposed new gun control laws they pass.
