Gun Control Groups All But Acknowledge Their Cause Is Losing :: 09/29/2020
Gun control and the support for it hit something of a zenith in the immediate aftermath of Parkland. However, unlike many times in the past, the furor didn’t die down after a few weeks or months. It looked like gun control was set to become a major battle during the presidential campaigns.
The Left's Unacknowledged Problem With Gun Control :: 09/29/2020
If you’re a regular reader to the site, you know that I’ve been arguing for a while now that the gun control movement cannot comfortably co-exist in a Democratic coalition that is focused on “reimagining policing” and defunding law-enforcement. Well, anti-gun activist David Hogg gave us a perfect demonstration of why that’s the case on Twitter the other day, when he tried to criticize those who would use violence in support of their cause and wound up defending violence against the State, as long as it wasn’t woke white people doing it.
9-Year Old Suspended For BB Gun At Home Not An Isolated Incident :: 09/28/2020
For a couple of days now we’ve been talking about Ka Mauri Harrison, the 4th grader from Harvey, Louisiana who was suspended from his virtual schooling for six days after a teacher spotted him picking up a BB gun from his bedroom floor and putting it away so his younger brother didn’t trip over it. Not only has Harrison received some backing from high profile groups like the NRA, Louisiana’s Attorney General is now investigating to determine if the young man’s rights were violated by the school suspension.
Gun Control Advocates Melting Down Over Barrett Nomination :: 09/28/2020
As Democrats sharpen their rhetorical knives in preparation for the upcoming confirmation fight over Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals judge Amy Comey Barrett to the Supreme Court, gun control groups are already attacking the nominee over her views on the Second Amendment. At USA Today, Moms Demand Action’s Shannon Watts is doing her best to scare suburban moms by portraying Barrett as a judge with “an alarming interpretation of the Second Amendment” who would put countless gun control laws at risk with her view that the right of the people to keep and bear arms is a fundamental right of Americans.
If You Care about Guns, You Should Care about Knives, Too :: 09/28/2020
When we talk about the Second Amendment today, we’re usually debating gun-control laws. Americans aren’t talking much about knives, but we should be.
Study: Age Restrictions On Guns Have Little Impact On Crime Rates :: 09/28/2020
Do laws barring those under the age of 21 from legally purchasing handguns (and in some states, certain semi-automatic long guns) actually make a difference in terms of reducing violent crime and homicides? Gun control activists certainly think so, but a new study from a pair of researchers at the University of Washington shows that the restrictions don’t have much of an impact on crime rates.
WI Couple Says Foster Parent Rules Violate Their 2A Rights :: 09/28/2020
Brian and Kate Lafferty have been foster parents for three years, but when they going through the process of renewing their license, they were given a form to sign asserting that they would not have any loaded firearms in their home, even if they were carrying for self-defense inside their residence. Besides requiring that firearms be locked up unloaded, the agency that oversees the foster care program in the Laffertys home county also demands that ammunition be locked up and stored separately from any guns in the home.
If Conservatives Had a George Floyd :: 09/27/2020
You know why pro-Trump conservatives (like me) are so angry at the Black Lives Matter movement? Not just because they are a violent, anti-American hate group. Not just because their original charter (created by lesbian Marxists) was hateful toward fathers. Not just because everywhere BLM protests, what follows is riots, looting, burning and dead cops. Not just because they scream and chant anti-American, anti-white and anti-police rhetoric. Not just because they celebrate dead police officers.
DRGO: What the Sanctuary Movement Means for the 2nd Amendment :: 09/26/2020
Stafford County, Virginia has added itself to the long list of counties in Virginia that identify themselves as “Second Amendment sanctuaries”.

What does this all mean?
Judge Barrett on the Second Amendment :: 09/26/2020

Latest "Fact Check" On Biden's 2A Views Leaves Out Important Facts :: 09/25/2020
It’s time to once again play “Fact Check The Fact Checkers,” and today’s contestant is a USA Today fact check on Joe Biden and the right to keep and bear arms. You may have seen a headline on your Facebook feed that claims “Joe Biden Says The Second Amendment Is ‘Obsolete’” and thought to yourself “yeah, that sounds right.” In this case, as USA Today notes, the story is from a satirical website run by self-described liberals called America’s Last Line of Defense, which the founders describe on the website as a “network of parody, satire, and tomfoolery.”

Separating Fact From Fiction In The Breonna Taylor Case :: 09/25/2020
In the wake of a Kentucky grand jury’s decision in the Breonna Taylor case, a number of fairly high profile folks on both sides of the aisle have been pushing false or incomplete narratives about the case itself and the events that led up to Taylor’s shooting by Louisville police officers conducting a raid on her apartment. I don’t know how much good it will do in the long run, but having covered the Taylor case for months now, I feel the need to correct the record on a few bits of misinformation that I’ve seen since Kentucky AG Daniel Cameron announced the grand jury’s findings on Wednesday.

Second Amendment Support Shouldn't Be Partisan, But It Is :: 09/24/2020
The Bill of Rights shouldn’t really leave a lot of room for debate. People have a right to assemble, to voice their opinions, to be protected from search without reason, and to keep and bear arms, among other things. This is quite plainly spelled out in the first ten amendments. Yet, it’s often a topic of debate regardless.
