Politicians told us to put up plastic signs that said, “no guns allowed”. The results were horrible. Instead of making us safer these “gun-free” zones left crowds of unarmed people at the mercy of mass murderers. Gun-control politicians aren’t criticized…
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” Benjamin Franklin The right to self-defense is a natural right given to us by GOD! It is not up for debate or…
I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery. Thomas Jefferson The right to keep and bear arms is anathema to an ever-growing anti-gun lobby, united in their belief that guns are the root cause of the senseless violence that has become…
It is the oldest mistake in Congress. “We must do something!” It’s a classic error of logic known as appelare desperadi, the appeal to desperation. It inevitably leads to disaster. You must do the right thing, not just anything. This…
SOME writers have so confounded society with government, as to leave little or no distinction between them; whereas they are not only different but have different origins. Society is produced by our wants, and government by our wickedness; the former…
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has a unique reputation among federal law enforcement agencies for always telling the truth. Whether its firearm statistics, after-action reports downplaying the body count of their latest sting to backfire, or quotes…
I know that you’re way smarter than this, but I keep hearing new gun owners get bad advice. We hear it everywhere, from the news to the lunch counter. I’m not criticizing either source because I suspect they are simply…
I’m in a rut. I read the endless stream of gun-control proposals and I have the same reaction time after time. Gun-control advocates promise us safety in return for further restricting the ability of ordinary citizens to go armed. Those…
Has it ever struck you as a little odd that the 13th Amendment outlaws involuntary servitude, and yet, there we have a Selective Service system that forces men, on pain of imprisonment to join the military whether they want to…
“The Constitution is not a living organism. It’s a legal document, and it says what it says and doesn’t say what it doesn’t say.” Justice Antonin Scalia State legislators denied the ordinary person the right to bear arms in New…
Supporters of gun control have long called for a national database of gun owners. However, as it stands today, there is no national registry. In fact, the Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 prohibits against the establishment of a national…
We are once again mired in a frantic debate about the rights of gun owners. And as usual the left is determined to tag law abiding gun owners as enablers of mass murder. Let’s be clear. The Second Amendment is…
Politics are real. Politics sets priorities between competing public interests. The process is never perfect. It gets ugly when existing political interests work against your individual rights. Let’s take an easy example first. Suppose you want to gather people together…
We learn more when we listen than when we speak. I sat with some young lawyers who are far smarter than I am. After a while, they politely asked about my interests, and then asked me about mass murder with…
In a 94 page decision, Judge Roger T. Benitez of California’s ruled that the ban on AR-style rifles is unconstitutional. Read the judge’s decision yourself since he wrote in language that even a journalist can understand. At best I can summarize a…
