Anti-Gun Activist: Gun Purchases Will Cause More Wuhan Coronavirus Deaths or Something :: 04/25/2020

So, in the latest episode of ‘Orange man…bad,’ we have an anti-gun activist suggesting that Trump is killing people because he’s designated gun stores as essential businesses. So, gun purchases could lead to more Wuhan coronavirus deaths or something. It’s absurd. It’s an overreach, one that was primed to be exploited in the Wuhan era. Anti-gun liberals’ lust for any reason to ban or restrict gun sales is encapsulated here. It harkens back to what Katie wrote right before this outbreak became serious on the coasts and in the New York City area, where an Illinois mayor tried to ban ammunition and gun sales due to the virus.

No Matter The Nation, Gun Grabbers Exploit Tragedy :: 04/25/2020

Here in the United States, many on the gun-rights side have a special feeling of dread when we learn of a mass shooting. Not only do we mourn for the families of those killed and pray for those injured, but we also know that in no time flat, the anti-gun jihadists will pop out of the ground like weeds to tell us just how we need to enact gun control, usually their pet gun control proposal, all before we actually know anything.

Democrats push Joe Biden to release Supreme Court short list and run on future court battles :: 04/24/2020

The docket of the Supreme Court this year is packed with core liberal issues: abortion access, federal protection for LGBT workers and gun rights. But given the court's 5-4 conservative majority, liberals are nervous about how those cases will be decided — and how future issues will be resolved if the balance shifts further after 2021.
