Yes, It's Important To Follow The Rules With Training Aids! :: 10/20/2021
Recently a colleague of mine brought up a concept that was actually engrained into me very early on as a student, never-the-less an instructor. When working with brand new students to firearms, it’s important to follow all the safety rules. It does not matter which set of rules a syllabus comports to; the NRA “Always” rules, or the “Cooper Rules”. There are a number of things that go on when dealing with new students, and as instructors and or as students, we need to be aware of these things. This concept is universal for those seeking and giving training. Take this situation from either perspective:
A Case Study In Chicago's Failing Criminal Justice System :: 10/19/2021
Now, this isn’t a problem that’s unique to Chicago, but the case of Brian Washington is a perfect example of the issues in many big city criminal justice systems; a repeat offender who’s regularly given plea bargains and light sentences instead of real consequences for violent crimes.
A Novel Idea In Philly That Can Be Built On :: 10/19/2021
When it comes to legislation and policing, the one thing everyone needs to realize is laws mean penalties. Depending on the type of law written, that law could mean arrests. This is a concept that seems to escape some members of our legislative branch whom advocate for things like police reform, etc. What’s interesting about that same caucus of so-called representatives, which we’ll call the anti-freedom caucus, is that they also get all giddy about creating and writing more and more laws. More laws = more arrests. Whoever that “anti-freedom caucus” is, well, you can figure that out easily. This brings up an interesting concept being executed in the city of Brotherly Love.

The Popularization of Political Repression :: 10/18/2021
If social media material is any indication, the sheer ugliness of American political sentiment is increasing exponentially, and the ugliness is getting harder and harder to tune out. To the extent that its inner character shines through on the internet, it would seem American democracy isn't so apt to "die in darkness" as it is to succumb to a strangely garish death by suffocation, buried under an avalanche of anti-democratic sentiments, sentiments increasingly normalized and aggressively promoted with almost ghoulish glee.
Virginia Utility Company Funding Fake Gun Group Bashing Youngkin :: 10/18/2021
Dominion Power is one of the biggest utility companies in the state of Virginia, so it’s understandable that the executives in charge of the energy giant might want to weigh in on the current race for governor. But while Democrat Terry McAuliffe vowed on the campaign trail not to accept any corporate cash from Dominion, it turns out the company is spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to get McAuliffe elected without donating directly to his campaign. Dominion has been funneling piles of cash to a Democrat dark money group that’s posing as a conservative outlet upset by Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin’s supposed squishiness on the Second Amendment.

Amnesty International: Allowing New Yorkers to Carry Firearms Would Violate International Law :: 10/17/2021
[Amnesty International] argues that “The Constitution was . . . drafted with international law as a set of background norms, and this Court should construe the Constitution accordingly.” However, none of the alleged “background norms” that AI cites existed in 1791 when the Second Amendment was ratified, or in 1868 when the Fourteenth Amendment made it enforceable against the states.
Did Media Bury A Mass Shooting Because Of Shooter's Race? :: 10/17/2021
Last week, I wrote about the shooting in Arlington, TX. When I wrote about it, I really expected to be talking a lot more about the incident than we did. After all, it met the media’s preferred definition of a mass shooting, and we know how they love milking those for views.

Smith & Wesson Announces Move to Tennessee, Cites Gun Control as Key Factor :: 10/16/2021
It has been said that there are two ways to vote in the United States: the traditional way at the ballot box, and also with your dollar. As often as we think of this second style of voting to be depicted by boycotts and worker's strikes, perhaps a more appropriate way to think about it would be legal versus cultural. We observe the legal will of the people by how they vote, and the cultural impact they make by where they spend their money. Recently Smith & Wesson, who needs no introduction, has announced that they are moving from Massachusetts to Tennessee. The industry giant will be taking its economic influence elsewhere.

Kentucky AG: Cities Can't Prevent Employees From Carrying Firearms on the Job :: 10/15/2021
Local municipalities in Kentucky with anti-gun political leaders could not prohibit their employees from not only bringing guns to their workplace in personal vehicles, but from carrying them in the course of their workday. Kentucky’s Attorney General Daniel Cameron released that opinion earlier in the week, based upon various state laws governing local jurisdictions’ ability to regulate firearms.

FBI Uniform Crime Report Should Have Everyone Up In Arms :: 10/14/2021
Last month the FBI Uniform Crime Report for 2020 was released and regardless of drops of certain crime in certain areas, there is nothing here to cause celebration.
