We’ll always have to accept that, to some degree, there will always be those who seek to intrude on the freedom of ordinary Americans.

Instead, that acceptance needs to come with a healthy dose of understanding that such people must be opposed at every opportunity.
The Prelude to World War II: The Spanish Civil War and Today's America :: 09/23/2020
America is definitely not Europe, but we can find a number of parallels between European history and contemporary America. For example, we’ve previously written about the Italian Years of Lead as a possible template for urban unrest and low-level inter-tribal warfare in the United States. Another example of how things might play out in the United States is the Spanish Civil War.
Nancy Pelosi's Unintentionally Pro-Gun Move :: 09/22/2020
No one is going to mistake House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as pro-gun anytime soon. The Democrat has long been an opponent of the right to keep and bear arms.

During a September 2019 “townhall” hosted by New Hampshire ABC affiliate WMUR, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden made clear that he does not believe the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms and that the U.S. Supreme Court decision in District of Columbia v.

President Trump has warned the nation that the Democrats’ push for vastly expanded mail-in voting could signal their plans to rig the 2020 election. His warning about potentially massive fraud with mail-in voting is buttressed by the work of American experts in the electoral process as well as the experience of other countries.
The Fight Over SCOTUS Will Determine The Future Of The 2nd Amendment :: 09/19/2020
Will the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on Friday upend the 2020 election, or is the fight over the future of SCOTUS already enough of a key election issue for voters that it won’t have much of an impact on the battle between Donald Trump and Joe Biden? That depends on who you ask.
FL Man Kills Wife With Sword, Shatters Anti-Gun Narrative :: 09/18/2020
Make no mistake, domestic abuse of any kind is horrible. As bad as the hitting can be, the verbal and psychological abuse can be just as bad. I’ve seen it with my own two eyes.

Kamala Harris was in Philadelphia on Thursday for a campaign stop in a vital swing state, and she did a one-on-one interview with ABC 6’s Jim Gardner, who tossed up a few softball questions about the rising “gun violence” in the City of Brotherly Love.

Philly City Council Wants "Gun Violence Emergency" Declared :: 09/18/2020
Unfortunately, most major cities are experiencing a huge upswing in violence. Frankly, most minor cities seem to be seeing one as well.

Trump Warns Biden Could Strip Us Of Civil Liberties :: 09/18/2020
We really should be knee-deep in election coverage these days, but the truth of the matter is that there’s just not a lot of gun control discussion going on now that we’ve reached the general election. Oh, Biden hasn’t backed off on his anti-gun agenda by any means. He’s simply not talking about it. It’s as though his campaign recognizes it’s not a winning issue for the Democrats like it might have been back in February.
2A-Supporting Sheriff Walks Away From Democrat Party :: 09/17/2020
A sheriff in western Pennsylvania has become the latest elected official to jump ship and abandon the Democratic Party, though he says that the party actually left him, not the other way around. 70-year old James Albert was elected sheriff of Westmoreland County last year as a Democrat, but he now believes that his political views align better with the Republicans than Democrats, in large part because of the anti-gun and anti-police rhetoric emanating from all levels of the Democratic Party.

Things just went from bad to worse for Al Talaga. The 32-year old Washington man was already facing charges of looting after he allegedly smashed the windows of a sneaker store in Seattle during riots back on June 1st, and tried to take off with merchandise from the shop.
