How will Judge Barrett rule in the Second Amendment case now facing the Supreme Court? If history is any guide, here’s her dissent from Kanter v. Barr: History is consistent with common sense: it demonstrates that legislatures have the power to prohibit dangerous people from possessing guns. But that power extends only to people who are dangerous. Founding-era legislatures did not strip felons of the right to bear arms simply because of their status as felons. Nor have the parties introduced any evidence that founding-era legislatures imposed virtue-based restrictions on the right; such … [Read more...]

Be Dangerous: Biden’s Progressive Puppeteers’ E.O. Gun Grab
Some thoughts about the progressive puppeteers behind the Biden administration’s executive order gun grab. Gun control is simply about one word: POWER. The Second Amendment was created by the Founders to protect YOU, not hunting rights. The gun control executive orders will do nothing to make the “streets” safer. How do you think David Chipman, Biden’s nominee for ATF Director, who worked for Gabby Giffords’s anti-gun outfit, will rule? Ghost gun ban? It’s a non-starter. Thugs aren’t making guns in their science lab in their mom’s basement. They’re buying them on the streets … [Read more...]
Constitutional Carry: Another State Chooses Second Amendment Freedom
You know constitutional carry matters for citizens who want to defend themselves. Now, another state has joined the 18 that already protected the constitutional carry of firearms. Iowa's governor, Kim Reynold (R), has signed a law eliminating the need to get a permit to buy or carry handguns in the Hawkeye State. Fox News reports: The new law takes effect July 1, with many calling it a "constitutional carry" bill. "Today I signed legislation protecting the Second Amendment rights of Iowa’s law-abiding citizens while still preventing the sale of firearms to criminals and other dangerous … [Read more...]
You Need To Be Dangerous: Democrats Want You Harmless
In a recent sit down with British GQ, author and clinical psychologist, Jordan Peterson told an interviewer, “You need to have the capacity for danger. You need to be dangerous. But you need to learn how to not use it except when it’s necessary. And that is not the same thing as being harmless. Harmless, that’s a terrible virtue. It’s like a rabbit. There’s nothing virtuous about harmlessness. It just means you are ineffectual.” You need to be dangerous, or you're the prey. No one wants to be a rabbit, but Democrats want you to be just as harmless to criminals who may want to hurt … [Read more...]
Biden Prepares First Wave of Assault on Second Amendment With Executive Orders
The first wave of the Democrats' assault on your Second Amendment rights will come via an expansive list of executive orders to be signed by Joe Biden. Among them, you can expect prohibitions on 3D printing firearms, so-called "ghost guns," and bans on foreign imports of certain guns. That will just be the start. Biden is also calling on Congress to legislate what he calls "common sense" gun controls, which will include bans on standard capacity magazines, bans on sporting rifles, a ban on the private sales of firearms, and making gun companies liable for murders committed by maniacs. Paul … [Read more...]
Democrats Want To Kill the Filibuster To Take Your Guns
Probably the most popular word on the lips of Democrats in Washington today is "filibuster." They want to eliminate the Senate filibuster so they can usher in every bad idea they've ever dreamt up, starting with what they call "common-sense gun control." As Tucker Carlson explains in the video below, that phrase is rarely joined by any further detail. Vague Words from the Biden Administration The president has been intentionally vague on his plans for gun control, leaving most of the work to the Senate. His press secretary, Jen Psaki told reporters "What our focus is on is putting in … [Read more...]
The Ninth Circuit Distorts Reality with Second Amendment Ruling
In a recent ruling, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, covering Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, has claimed that the Second Amendment does not support the right to carry a firearm in public, either openly or concealed. Any person reading the plain language of the Second Amendment would assume that codifying the right to "bear" arms was intended to protect the right to actually bear them. The applicable definition of the word bear in Webster's dictionary is "to be equipped or furnished with (something)." Reason.com explains the case … [Read more...]
Another Reason Why Constitutional Carry Matters
Originally posted March 2, 2021. Many states are unconcerned about citizens who need protection. Mark Chesnut explains in America's 1st Freedom that constitutional carry laws are the best way to protect citizens from regulators who just don't care about their states' citizens. He writes: In this new COVID-19 era, some wait times for concealed-carry permits are getting so long that a person who feels threatened and wants to carry a firearm for self-defense could be dead and buried before an official ever gets around to keying the application information into the system. Illinois is a … [Read more...]
