Massachusetts Criminal Roundup Illustrates Progressive Failure :: 05/01/2021
Massachusetts has some of the harshest and most draconian gun laws in the country. People from Massachusetts seem to think so, that is until they talk to someone from Jersey. The Giffords law center gives Massachusetts an “A-“, which for us freedom loving Americans, that’d be a big fat “F-“. Giffords does the dirty work for us on letting us know who has the worst laws in the country by giving them a good grade. The report card might as well serve as a list of states not to move to with the A’s being real bad.

Boone, NC, Shooting Claims Four Victims — Including Two Deputies :: 04/30/2021
A 13-hour standoff in the North Carolina mountain town of Boone ended at about 11 p.m. on Wednesday with five dead: The gunman, his mother and stepfather, and two Watauga County deputies. Liberal mainstream media are largely ignoring the story — likely because there is no racial element to exploit. What little mention it is receiving is geared toward decreasing “gun violence.”

National Security' Excuse Takes War on Guns to Dangerous New Level :: 04/30/2021
“We share Biden’s view that the level of U.S. gun violence is a ‘national embarrassment,’” an April 22 Politico opinion piece declares. “But as National Security Council veterans who have specialized in counterterrorism—with direct experience involving far-right American terrorism, burgeoning jihadism, and Northern Irish extremism in the 1990s—we also see a new threat rising, one that has the potential to change the urgency of the debate: the growing, and heavily armed, American militia movement, which made a show of force on January 6.”
Pants On Fire: Biden’s Bogus Gun Control :: 04/30/2021

Libs Don't Like Guns, but Knife Fights Are A-OK :: 04/28/2021
So how do you demonize a cop who saves a black girl’s life by shooting her knife-wielding attacker? It’s easy: just tell people that knife fights are as American as apple pie, a rite of passage — sorta’ like the day you finally learned to ride a bike.
Ninth Circuit Lifts Ban on 3D-Printed Gun Blueprints :: 04/28/2021

Self-Defense: A Women’s Movement :: 04/28/2021
Soon after her 21st birthday, new mother Jessica Royal (then Cothon) obtained her concealed-carry permit (CCW) in Nashville, Tenn. She prayed that she would never need to pull a trigger in defense of her life.

House Republicans Introduce Gun Rights And Marijuana Act :: 04/27/2021
Despite the growing number of states that have legalized medical or recreational use of marijuana, it remains illegal under federal law for gun owners to smoke up, no matter if its legal in their state or not. Now, some Republican members of Congress are hoping to address the situation with the Gun Rights and Marijuana (or GRAM) Act.
Nationalism vs. Patriotism: What's the Difference and Why it Matters :: 04/27/2021
The terms “nationalism” and “patriotism” are often used interchangeably. This is understandable, as they have somewhat overlapping meanings, both of which suffer from a certain amount of vagueness. However, there are a number of key differences between the two that are worth shedding light on. In the final analysis, we believe that the term “nationalism,” while not denoting anything totalitarian by its nature, is not an accurate term for the sentiment that exists in the United States. Nationalism, it would seem, is more suited to Europe or Asia, places with historic nations, united by common language and ethnicity that are necessarily tied with a certain area of land.

As predicted, the Left is losing its mind over the Supreme Court’s decision to hear a case challenging New York’s restrictive “may-issue” concealed carry licensing laws. One common theme is emerging in the hours after the Court’s decision was made public: it’s horrible timing on the part of the justices to decide to hear the case, what with all the violence we’ve had lately.
