The Problem With Thinking Magazine Bans Prevent Crime :: 02/18/2021
When looking at the country as a whole, the more freedom friendly states are easy to separate from those that stifle civil rights. Jurisdictions that enact arbitrary laws that limit what type of firearm one may have and further, magazine capacity, are no safer than other states in The Union. In fact, states with more restrictive laws are less safe. Take for example New Jersey, with three of the most dangerous cities in the nation; Trenton, Camden, and Newark.

President Joe Biden ran on being a “listener,” and bringing “unity” and “healing” to America. He’s not listening though.

Found Gun Illustrates the Importance of Teaching Our Children :: 02/17/2021
As the years have gone by and opinions have shifted on the subject of firearms, there are certain things that still remain true and need to be discussed. In the past, students being taught some basic gun safety in a public school was not unheard of.

Carolyn Maloney Five Gun Control Bills Are More Dangerous Than Sheila Jackson Lee’s Absurd Legislation :: 02/16/2021
While all eyes have been on Sheila Jackson Lee‘s big licensing and registration bill, fellow Congresscritter Carolyn B. Maloney [D-NY] is taking advantage of the various distractions on Capitol Hill to enter five ambitious civilian disarmament bills of her own.

February 15, 2021 — Yesterday, President Biden renewed his declaration of intent to launch a new assault upon the People of the United States and their rights and property, “calling on Congress to enact” unconstitutional and immoral policies including bans on common semi-automatic firearms and ammunition magazines. Prior to the election, FPC warned that the Biden-Harris campaign, which promised a massive number of new and expanded anti-rights policies, was “a clear and present danger to liberty, freedom, the Constitution, and the values that have made America the greatest country in the world” and “a uniquely grave threat to all that we hold dear[.]”

After a mob of rioters breached the doors of the U.S. Capitol, South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace likely spoke for many members of Congress in describing the feeling of defenselessness. In an interview with a local media outlet, the Republican congresswoman said, “I felt personally like a sitting duck … We didn't have a way to protect ourselves; we didn't have security on us; we didn't have firearms protecting us.” Mace added that she is currently going through the process to obtain her concealed weapons permit.

One of the best parts about concealed carry permits is reciprocity, the laws that mean a permit from one state may be recognized in numerous other states. That’s not to say the system is ideal. While reciprocity exists, it’s nowhere nearly as extensive as it should be. Despite the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution, not every state recognizes every other states’ permits.
