Do Gun Control Laws Lead To More Gun Sales? :: 02/28/2021
Until the Great Gun Run of 2020, which was prompted by COVID stay-at-home orders, an increase in violent crime, and civil unrest after the death of George Floyd sparked riots in many American cities, I would have said that nothing creates a spike in gun sales like a sustained push for new gun control laws. When anti-gun politicians try to crack down on the supply of firearms, it typically ends up creating even more demand for them. That’s why Barack Obama was widely credited as being the gun salesman of the year in 2013, when his post-Sandy Hook push for new gun controls helped create what was at the time one of the biggest surges in gun sales in our nation’s history.

Psychologist Makes Case Against Red Flag Laws :: 02/27/2021
In the first two years that Florida’s red flag firearms seizure law was on the books, more than 3,500 petitions were filed with courts across the state, and the orders were approved more than 95% of the time. Critics of the law have pointed out that individuals can be stripped of their right to own a firearm even though they’ve not been arrested or even charged with a crime, and while the red flag law requires a court hearing within two weeks of an order being granted, low-income gun owners are not entitled to a public defender or free legal representation because the court procedure is civil, not criminal in nature.
The Top Five States For Firearms Freedom :: 02/27/2021

A short primer on the importance of our Second Amendment rights :: 02/26/2021
Joe Biden's had a lot on his plate. First, he erased America's immigration laws by order government employees not to enforce them. Then he destroyed the economy by attacking the oil and gas that are essential for modern life. After that, he sowed some racial discord. Next, he insulted our only ally in the Middle East while sucking up to "Death to America" Iran. And that's just the shortlist. But the people in charge haven't forgotten one of their most important missions: to destroy the Second Amendment.
