The Truth Behind That Huge Spike In Rejected Background Checks :: 07/23/2020
Gun control groups know that their best shot of electing anti-gun candidates this November is to scare the bejeebers out of American voters, particularly suburban women, where support for new gun laws is strongest.

US banks and financial institutions have been slowly severing ties with the gun industry :: 07/22/2020
It is a slow and steady form of gun control gradually gaining momentum with limited public fanfare: If guns cannot be directly taken from the hands of citizens, the next best target is the banks and financial institutions that enable transactions or loans for the industry.
Anti-Gun Group Opposes Reducing Training Quota For Teachers :: 07/21/2020
With schools a preferred target for mass shooters, it only makes sense to have people you can trust with firearms on school campuses to help protect our children. That’s at an absolute minimum.
Our Second Amendment: A rejection of nobility :: 07/21/2020
The argument over the Second Amendment routinely centers on guns. But our Second Amendment right to “keep and bear arms” has just as much to do with casting off the stratification of the social class system and buttressing religious freedom.

Your Rights Come Before Politics :: 07/21/2020

Three Reasons Representative Democracy Doesn't Work :: 07/20/2020
In representative democracies, voters ostensibly control the state through the politicians they vote for. However, most representative democracies fall far short of this goal. Three of the reasons for the trouble are the problems of scale, bundling, and omission. I will explore these three problems below and argue that privatization and decentralization can ameliorate them.
Democrats Are Forcing a Civil War :: 07/19/2020
Through Antifa and BLM, the Democrats are preparing for war. The riots, looting, arson, and public beatings taking place every day are merely practice for the coming revolutionary conflagration.

Media Ignores Reality Over McCloskeys :: 07/19/2020

David Hogg Illustrates Anti-Gun Hypocrisy :: 07/18/2020
Ever since Parkland, David Hogg has done everything he could to push gun control in every way imaginable. I think he feels obligated to fire back at anything the NRA says, as part of that. If the NRA tweeted that the sky was blue, he’d probably take issue with that as well.
