In the wake of the murder of Atatiana Jefferson by a Fort Worth cop, many people have been noting a point that I have tried to make for years: police need to cease viewing the possible presence of a gun as probable cause that a crime has been committed, and that deadly force is automatically […]
New Jersey is one of those states in the union where gun rights go to die. The Garden State never misses an opportunity to throw up a roadblock to the right to keep and bear arms. So, of course, an “assault weapons” ban is a part of the state’s ever-expanding labyrinth of laws restricting the […]
With less-than-inspiring enthusiasm for the three elderly individuals who currently lead the polls in the Democrat presidential primary race, there’s speculation that other elderly people are thinking about jumping in while there’s still time. Though billionaire gun control financier Michael Bloomberg had previously ruled it out, recent trial balloons reports claim Mayor Mike is now […]
Along with the far left wing of the Democrat party’s insistence on pushing for impeachment (which ended any chance of federal legislation on background checks or red flag laws), Second Amendment supporters have been given a huge, beautifully wrapped early Christmas gift in the form of Robert Francis O’Rourke’s all-out, unapologetic, full-throated declaration that he […]
Quislings. You can smell them from a mile away. And in a story that escaped notice the first time, NRA board member Tom King spoke publicly calling the time-honored tradition of Americans making their own guns at home a “growing problem” that could be “turning into a criminal enterprise.” Tom King also serves as the […]
For some reason, politicians seem to think that compromising on core principles to placate their political opposition or the media will buy them votes and/or praise and good will in the press. It’s a fool’s errand that literally never works and only serves to demoralize their base of supporters. You’d think that an experienced veteran […]
The Mexican drug cartels have grown even bolder and stronger in recent years. Just last week, in the Sinaloa state, drug cartel forces defeated the Mexican military forces and police in street battles in the capital city. Yes, the narcos defeated Mexican government forces in an all-out battle. Can you say “failed state?” As Claire […]
Americans continue to talk about obscure Democrat presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke‘s proud proclamation at September’s Democratic debate. “Hell yes! We’re going to take your AR-15s. And AK-47s,” O’Rourke said. Of course, Beto would be bravely leading all of the required confiscation squads from behind. Robert Francis can’t avoid questions about how his gun grab would […]
Never mind that none of these political hacks would even consider taxing any other constitutional right. Never mind that there’s zero evidence that any revenue collected from Tacoma taxing guns and ammo would make any difference in the city’s “gun violence” problem. And never mind that, if the tax is imposed, Tacoma residents will just […]
CBS News reporter Major Garrett has a podcast called The Takeout. His latest guest is Moms Demand Action founder and Michael Bloomberg paid sock puppet Shannon Watts. Every media member’s favorite crusading mom is on the road flacking her new book, Fight Like a Mother. Garrett lobbed softballs at interviewed Watts over lunch recently in […]
As far as Gavin Newsom is concerned, extremism in defense of gun control is never a vice. California already has among the strictest gun laws in nation. Previous to this, Californians could only buy one handgun per month, with a ten-day-waiting period to pick up the gun once it is purchased and a ban on modern sporting […]
By Ryan Frasor On September 28, 2019, The Daily Signal published an article written by Amy Swearer of the Heritage Foundation describing a hypothetical version of a “Red Flag” gun confiscation law that would be acceptable to gun owners. The article argues that if such a law incorporated “meaningful” due process and “safeguards against abuse […]
