“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…
Biden’s Assault on the 2nd Amendment
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…
The “Whole” People Are The Militia
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…

The Left Doesn’t Want the Peasants Armed
Democracy is two wolves and a lamb deciding what to have for dinner. Liberty is a well-armed lamb. The right of law abiding citizens to personally possess, transport, and responsibly use firearms without government interference is the ultimate freedom and…
Stigmatizing Legal Gun Owners in America
There was a time in the United States when owning a gun wasn’t considered an indicator of the type of person you were. Owning a gun didn’t mean anything more than owning a wrench – they’re both tools – and…
The Danger in Universal Background Checks
Gun-control groups and anti-self-defense politicians are pushing for “Universal Background Checks” (UBCs) as a gun-safety measure to prevent criminals and other prohibited persons from getting firearms. Under the UBC scheme, all gun transfers, even private gifts between friends & family,…
Confiscation Clock 1 Minute Closer to Midnite
