Why "Originalism" Doesn't Just Protect Your Right To Own A Musket :: 10/13/2020
There’s been no shortage of laughable attempts to criticize Judge Amy Coney Barrett over the past couple of days, but one of the dumbest takes that I’ve run across (besides the odd fixation on Barrett’s ladybits) is the idea that because Barrett’s judicial philosophy is one that takes the original meaning of the Constitution as the lodestar in all decisions, this somehow means that the Second Amendment should only protect the right to own a musket.

Portland’s Antifa Loving Mayoral Candidate Has Thoughts On Gun Control :: 10/11/2020
Portland, Oregon Mayor Ted Wheeler is facing a tough re-election challenge this year, but it’s not a conservative who’s challenging the progressive (this is Portland we’re talking about, after all).

Amy Coney Barrett's Confirmation Could Be a Huge Setback for Gun Safety Laws :: 10/09/2020
In June, when the Supreme Court decided that it wasn’t going to take up any firearm-related cases in its next term, gun control groups were surprised and relieved. The nation’s highest court had nearly a dozen of gun cases up for potential consideration and a ruling on any one of them could have had a significant impact on the gun safety laws passed in numerous states since District of Columbia v. Heller 12 years ago, which overturned DC’s longtime ban on gun ownership and affirmed that the Second Amendment protects an individual’s right to own a firearm for the purpose of self-defense. And with a firm conservative majority on the Supreme Court—thanks to Trump’s appointments of Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh—it seemed poised that an expansion of the Second Amendment was all but inevitable. But it didn’t happen, scoring a major short-term victory for gun control advocates.

Why Has The St. Louis Prosecutor Suppressed The McCloskey Indictments? :: 10/09/2020
Earlier this week a grand jury in St. Louis, Missouri returned indictments against attorneys Mark and Patricia McCloskey for unlawful use of a weapon and evidence tampering, but the public hasn’t been able to actually read the indictments for themselves because prosecutor Kim Gardner has suppressed the indictments, a move that several Missouri legal experts say is highly unusual.
Another Misleading Fact Check On Biden And The Second Amendment :: 10/08/2020
I’ve noticed a definite trend among the so-called fact-checkers deployed to combat misinformation regarding the Biden/Harris campaign, particularly when it comes to the Second Amendment; they’re leaving out a few salient facts of their own, and often are basing their fact check on a dubious premise to begin with.

The Radical Left's attack on self-defense :: 10/08/2020
Missouri couple, Mark and Patricia McCloskey, are currently plagued by a fierce legal and political battle. In June, they defended their home in St. Louis against rioters. The violent mob trespassed on their private property and screamed at them with threats of murder and assault. This prompted the McCloskeys to defend themselves and their property by brandishing their firearms. Under Missouri law and the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, self-defense is their right.
