Alabama: Sheriff's Association Working With Anti-Gun Group Opposing Constitutional Carry :: 01/18/2022
Bobby Timmons, director of the Alabama Sheriff’s Association (ASA), is so opposed to acknowledging your inherent right-to-carry, and wants so badly to protect the revenue stream from permit fees, that he openly opposes the Second Amendment and allies with anti-gun extremists. He said in a media interview that the ASA is working with a Bloomberg-backed, national anti-gun group in order to oppose the constitutional carry legislation currently in the Alabama Legislature.

A Philadelphia Congresswoman Clings to Her Gun Control Delusions Even After Being 'Carjacked by Reality' :: 01/17/2022

Biden almost stumbles on truth about gun control :: 01/17/2022

Does Charging Oath Keepers With "Seditious Conspiracy" Save the “Insurrection” Narrative? :: 01/17/2022
Last Thursday, January 13, the U.S. Department of Justice set the Pelosi-Schumer Democrats and their allies in the media industrial complex abuzz with the announcement that Elmer Stewart Rhodes, III, the founder and leader of the organization known as Oath Keepers, along with 10 additional members of his group, has been indicted on charges of “Seditious Conspiracy and Other Offenses Related to U.S. Capitol Breach” of January 6, 2021. This latest DOJ action appears to have been calculated to fill in the conspicuous holes in the ludicrous media-driven conspiracy theory that the Capitol melee involving several hundred protesters was actually an insurrection coup organized by President Donald Trump and his nefarious co-conspirators in Congress.
Exercise your 2A rights? It could come up if you're on jury duty! :: 01/17/2022
When thinking of civil liberties in the United States, it’s quite easy to turn our attention towards the Bill of Rights to get a good grasp of what we’ve been endowed with by our creator. To the casual observer, perhaps a happy wanderer in the Union, they might talk about the freedom of speech or “pleading the fifth”. The breadth of each individual’s understanding of liberties is naturally filtered through the lens of which they view the world. My own view could be considered quite myopic, with an extreme focus on the Second Amendment, which is needed to protect all the rest. The First Amendment being important for all to be able to express themselves as they wish without government intervention. And in the unfortunate event if one has to “assert” their rights, they might be telling a peace officer I invoke or am availing myself of my 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment rights. You can’t search me or my stuff, I’m not saying nothing, and I want my lawyer. Obviously there’s more than just that to our rights. What comes with these rights are responsibilities. Those responsibilities are actually rights too. It’s our right to be able to vote, but it’s also our civic duty. It’s also our civic duty to serve on a jury when called upon.
A not so modest proposal for mandatory training :: 01/16/2022

Biden's Unhinged Georgia Speech Earned Him 'Four Pinocchios' from WaPo :: 01/14/2022

"Rust" armorer claims Baldwin skipped gun training session :: 01/14/2022

Baldwin’s civil attorney claimed on Thursday that the phone “is being turned over this week,” which would indicate the sheriff will get the phone sometime today, but we’ll have to wait and see if that pans out.

Philly suburb sees massive drop in murders :: 01/13/2022
Unlike Philadelphia itself, which just set a new record for the number of homicides in one year, violent crime and homicides in the suburb of Chester, Pennsylvania are headed in the right direction. What makes this particularly newsworthy isn’t just Chester’s proximity to the unchecked violence in the City of Brotherly Love, but the fact that just a few years ago Chester’s per capita homicide rate was the third-highest in the United States. Compounding the problem was the fact that the homicide clearance rate was well below 50%, meaning most of the perpetrators responsible were literally getting away with murder.
A "public health approach" to violent crime makes no sense :: 01/12/2022
For years now, gun control activists have been yammering about the need to treat “gun violence” as a “public health epidemic,” though it’s often unclear what they actually mean by that phrase. Take the latest column by Nashville Tennessean columnist Kyra Watts, for example. Her piece boldly declares that “gun violence is a public health emergency that requires urgent action,” but her supposed public health solutions aren’t bold, tailored for urgency, or even specific enough to pin down in some cases.
