Ohio AG Backs Armed Teachers In Legal Fight With Everytown :: 09/12/2020
The Ohio Supreme Court is currently considering a case that could force thousands of staffers in dozens of school districts to quit carrying firearms on the job unless they undergo hundreds of hours of law-enforcement training, and now the state’s attorney general has weighed in on the side of the armed school staff and the districts that have made the decision to have trained and vetted school staff carry in schools as a first line of defense against armed assailants.
Dear Abby's Gun Advice May Land Person In Jail :: 09/11/2020
When I was a kid, I remember my parents talking about the advice given in the Dear Abby column of our local newspaper. It almost felt obligatory for a paper to run the advice column every day since it so often seemed to provide fodder for conversations. It is my long-held belief that some of the stories sent were made up just to see what the columnist would say in response to the bizarre situation. However, other bits are often too common to believe them to be fabrications.
Is BLM Responsible For Record Number Of Mass Shootings? :: 09/11/2020
Anytime there’s a high-profile shooting, the usual suspects turn to groups like the National Rifle Association and tries to place the blame on them. It’s the NRA’s fault because they won’t bow down and support the infringements on our liberty that these people actually want. If they’d just supported universal background checks, this mass shooting committed by an individual who passed a background check would have been stopped.
Once Mentally Ill, Always Mentally Ill’? :: 09/11/2020
Federal law prohibits an individual who has been “committed to a mental institution” from possessing a firearm. In rejecting Duy Mai’s claim that the Second Amendment forbids enforcing this provision against him, a Ninth Circuit panel asserted, “We emphatically do not subscribe to the notion that ‘once mentally ill, always so.’” But in their dissents today from the Ninth Circuit’s denial of rehearing en banc, Judge Patrick Bumatay and Judge Lawrence VanDyke persuasively argue that the panel decision rests on precisely that proposition.
Speaking to Gun-Control Power :: 09/11/2020
It is the stuff of nightmares—being a parent and losing your child to a mass murderer. And for Andrew Pollack, whose teenage daughter, Meadow, attended Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, it became a blistering reality dubbed the “Parkland Shooting” on Valentine’s Day, 2018. It could have all been avoided.
Democrat Sheriff Jumps Ship, Joins GOP :: 09/10/2020
Dave Wedding has twice been elected as sheriff of Vanderburgh County, Indiana as a Democrat, but the longtime law enforcement officer is leaving the Left and embracing the GOP because he says he’s tired of the Democratic Party’s lack of support for police and its embrace of a far-Left agenda.
Geopolitics: How Maps Help Us Understand History, Predict the Future, and Go Beyond Politics :: 09/10/2020
American students are notoriously bad at geography, and have been for some time. In 2002, for instance – the year after the 9/11 attacks – only 17% of American students could find Afghanistan on a map. In 2016, less than one third were able to score a minimal pass of 66% on the National Geographic Global Literacy Survey. In 2015, the United States Government Accountability Office reported that 75% of eighth grade students don’t even know what geography is.

Virginia Democrat’s Laughable Claim On Background Checks :: 09/10/2020
It’s not surprising to see gun control groups make false claims about the success of their anti-gun agenda, nor is it particularly shocking to see politicians bloviate in support of gun control laws, but their absurd claims still need to be met with facts if we want an educated populace making informed choices when it comes to supporting or opposing gun control laws.

Gun-Related Crime In "No-Guns" Japan :: 09/09/2020
Japan has among the strictest gun control laws in the world. They also have a very odd culture from a western standpoint. Fascinating in many ways, but odd.

More Than 200,000 Sign Petition To Scrap Canada's Gun Ban :: 09/08/2020
Justin Trudeau’s ban on “military style” firearms hasn’t gotten any more popular since it was announced earlier this year in the wake of a spree killing in Nova Scotia by a man who illegally armed himself with firearms and posed as a police officer to target his victims. An online petition calling for an end to the ban drew responses from more than 230,000 Canadians, and according to CBC, it’s the most popular parliamentary online petition ever filed in the country.

Putting "Protests 93 Percent Peaceful" Into Some Context :: 09/08/2020
Over the last few months, “protests” have come to dominate the news cycle. I put it in quotation marks because it wasn’t really the protests in and of themselves that made headlines. Instead, it was the riots that sprang from some of those protests that made the news.
Stand Your Ground Is Legalized Murder? Think Again :: 09/08/2020
Florida’s Stand Your Ground law has gotten a lot of heat over the years. Opponents of the law call it legalized murder. They claim that all you have to do is claim you were in fear of your life and you can kill anyone you want.
Boy Suspended Over Displaying Toy Gun During Internet Class :: 09/07/2020
Earlier this year, after our local school system made it clear to me that they had no idea what the hell they were doing yet again, my wife and I made the decision to homeschool our daughter. We, fortunately, had the resources to make that decision. Plus, it allows me to make sure she’s actually being educated, not indoctrinated.
D.C. Arrests Show Racial Disparity In Gun Law Enforcement :: 09/07/2020
For some time, anti-gunners have been trying to push the argument that gun rights are inherently racist. They want people to equate the desire to own a gun with a desire to shoot non-white people in the face or something. They’ve tried over and over again to make the case that gun rights is about keeping black people oppressed.
