“Most gun control arguments miss the point. If all control boils fundamentally to force, how can one resist aggression without equal force? How can a truly “free” state exist if the individual citizen is enslaved to the forceful will of…

Hatred for the Second Amendment
Nothing raises the hackles of dictators, tyrants, and oligarchs more than the idea of a substantially armed citizenry. Disarming present or potential opposition has been the fundamental game plan of murderous rulers since Ancient Egypt and Rome. From the more…
Freedom and Guns
The right of the people to keep and bear arms is an extension of the natural right to self-defense and a hallmark of personal sovereignty. It is specifically insulated from governmental interference by the Constitution and has historically been the…
UPS Clamps Down on Firearms Shipments
There is more than one way to ban the sale of firearms. Under the new UPS Tariff Terms and Conditions of Service only licensed dealers, importers, manufacturers, and collectors will be able to ship firearms products or parts via UPS.…
The Elephant in the Room – an Armed Citizenry
“What if the American government ever “goes bad” and becomes a police state? That tyrannical government, if it could enlist the willing support of every American soldier and every American law enforcement officer, which is doubtful, would field perhaps a…
Red Flag Laws
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…
Democide
“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…
The Left’s Gun Control Fetish
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…
Don’t Do Something, Do the Right Thing!
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…
It’s Time for Society to Do the Heavy Lifting
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…
Not even ATF can verify ATF’s ‘ghost gun’ claims
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…
Armed Defense is always a Matter of Time
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…
Painful Lies and Boring Facts
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…
Wouldn’t It Be Nice?
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…
SCOTUS and the 2nd Amendment
“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…
