Chris Edwards, the director of tax policy studies at the Cato Institute, explains that while there will undoubtedly be certain winners in the cities that Amazon decided to open its new headquarters in, there will surely be losers as well. Edwards suggests that "Rather than subsidizing big businesses, the states should aim to create a diverse business ecosystem - an Amazon, if you will - by cutting taxes and regulations for all types of investment." He explains many of the drawbacks of such subsidies in detail, writing: Fairness. With Amazon adding thousands of workers, hiring will be … [Read more...]
VIDEO: D.C. Conceal Carry Permits Soar After Residents’ Rights Restored
The debate over "shall issue" and "may issue" is an ongoing battle in many states. D.C. was forced to accept "shall issue" in the court decision Wrenn vs. D.C.. The city didn't appeal because if the Supreme Court upheld the decision it could have undone the "may issue" laws in states around the country. At some point the "shall issue" vs. "may issue" will make its way to the Supreme Court and Americans will be unchained from arbitrary restrictions on their rights to self protection. … [Read more...]
Time-Out for CNN’s Jim Acosta
The Trump White House handed down a deserved time-out to CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta. Since when did the West Wing briefing room become a Constitutional right? “Is Trump obligated to provide access to whomever CNN chooses to represent the network in the West Wing, even if the individual assigned routinely baits the press secretary and bashes the president?” asks Pat Buchanan in The American Conservative. CNN says that if Trump succeeds in pulling Acosta’s press pass, it could have a “chilling” effect on other White House correspondents. But if it has a chilling effect on … [Read more...]
Jon Tester: A Gun Rights Jekyll and Hyde
Back home in Montana, Jon Tester talks a big game on the campaign trail. According to him he's a just a farmer who will fight for Montanans' second amendment rights in the halls of power. But once he gets far away in Washington D.C., a sort of Jekyll and Hyde transformation must overtake Tester, because rather than fighting for Montanans, he enables his liberal caucus in their efforts to infringe on your gun rights. The NRA has called Tester "D.C. Jon Tester," for his loyalty to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. Recently the NRA even downgraded Tester to the grade of "D" for his vote … [Read more...]
“I Live in Maine, can I bring my Gun to New Hampshire?”
Thanksgiving and Christmas are major travel holidays. As you prepare for this season, it's a good plan to review the rules of any states you'll be travelling through if you plan on carrying your firearm. To get started, reread this post from June 9, 2017. As travel season approaches, it’s always a good idea to review gun travel laws because they do change frequently. For example, I was speaking with a friend that lives in Maine and is heading to the White Mountains in New Hampshire to do some overnight backpacking. The question that came to mind was, can he carry across the … [Read more...]
Bongino: Apparently, the Third Time’s a Charm for Crooked Hillary
NRA News correspondent Dan Bongino discusses the possibility of a third presidential run by the anti-gun Hillary Clinton. … [Read more...]
Pelosi and Bloomberg want Your Guns
Gun control advocates have been cheering that 15-House Republicans with “A” ratings from the NRA lost in the midterms to ones with “F” ratings explains IBD. But what isn’t being told is that Second Amendment advocates won in the Senate, namely Josh Hawley in Missouri who defeated Claire McCaskill. Thank you Justice Kavanaugh. According to the NRA, the article continues, candidates backed by gun rights groups won 106 races, and lost 33. So much for that grassroots (AstroTurf) spending by Bloomberg. IBD reports: After having safely won the House majority, Democrats revealed their two top … [Read more...]
The NRA Needs to Keep its Eye on Target
In the past few years the NRA has ramped up its messaging. With ballooning membership of 5 million, and donations rolling in, America's strongest organization fighting for gun rights has been doing well. But with the ascendancy of Oliver North to the organization's presidency, and the addition of an online news channel (NRATV), something unfortunate has begun to happen. While NRA TV has been great at empowering new voices like Dana Loesch, Colion Noir and others, it's also led to some mission creep. While segments on drugs, Antifa, The Dangers of Socialism, the Mainstream Media, Jim … [Read more...]
No Surprise: Democrats are Coming for Your Guns
“We know the new anti-gun leadership in the House and in many states will come after the Second Amendment. And anywhere they try, the NRA will be there defending the rights of our members - and all Americans. As always, we will unapologetically fight to defend the constitutional right to keep and bear arms,” explains the NRA-ILA (Institute for Legislative Action). And true to form, after being quiet about gun reform in the final week leading up to the elections, Nancy Pelosi is calling gun reform a priority. “This new majority is not going to be afraid of our shadow,” said Mike Thompson, a … [Read more...]
