Virginia Republicans target crime with new focus on cops and criminals, not legal gun owners :: 10/20/2022
Democrats are trying to make the pitch to voters that Republicans are soft on crime because they’re generally opposed to new gun control laws. It’s a narrative that doesn’t appear to be working too well, probably because most of us aren’t naive enough to believe that passing laws aimed at restricting the rights of responsible gun owners isn’t going to have much of an impact on those who are committing carjackings, home invasions, robberies, drive-by shootings, and other violent crimes.

Cars Cause Crime Like Flies Cause Garbage :: 10/17/2022
Part of the reason gun owners detest gun control so vehemently is because it places the burden of curtailing violent crime on law-abiding individuals rather than where it belongs – on criminals. Those who would never commit a violent crime have their freedoms restricted, while criminals ignore the law. In the current era of “defund the police” and George Soros-funded prosecutors this problem is even more acute, with gun owners made to suffer ridiculous indignities while the government coddles criminals.

Reports Suggest Biden Administration Already Exceeding Its Authority Under New Gun Laws :: 10/17/2022
Last June, the NRA announced its opposition to a wide-ranging gun control bill – the misnamed “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act” (BSCA) – that was being rammed through the U.S. Senate with bi-partisan support. We warned at the time that the bill, contrary to how it was being marketed to the public, could “be abused to restrict lawful gun purchases, infringe upon the rights of law-abiding Americans, and use federal dollars to fund gun control measures being adopted by state and local politicians.” We also said, “This bill leaves too much discretion in the hands of government officials and also contains undefined and overbroad provisions – inviting interference with our constitutional freedoms.”
