One of the biggest problems with red flag laws is that they allow the government to take guns from people who have not been convicted of doing anything, not even making threatening noises.

Mayor Muriel Bowser announced on Monday that the city’s Metropolitan Police Department will temporarily serve as a federal firearms licensee for city residents who want to purchase a firearm during the coronavirus closures.

Why First-Time Gun Buyers Chose Now To Arm Themselves :: 04/20/2020
One of the more interesting tidbits in this whole COVID-19 mess has been the massive influx of new gun owners. It’s a point we at Bearing Arms have kept a very close eye on. After all, more gun owners mean it’s likely to be harder to pass new gun control laws. Especially as many of those new owners likely found out how much complete BS is spread by anti-gunners who would have you think you can get a gun on every street corner.

Pelosi Delays "Violence Against Women" Act Reauthorization :: 04/19/2020
The Violence Against Women Act is one of those things you expect the Democrats to back. They always have in the past and they’re the ones who have been pushing to reauthorize it this time around. It’s not difficult to understand why, either. Most people really only know bills by their names, if that, and they don’t look deeper, which means something called the “Violence Against Women Act” is a slam dunk with the public.

‘Absentee ballots remain the largest source of potential voter fraud.” That quote isn’t from President Trump, who criticized mail-in voting this week after Wisconsin Democrats tried and failed to change an election at the last minute into an exclusively mail-in affair.
