MI Protestors To Blame If Capitol Bans Guns :: 05/06/2020
Let me start off by saying that I don’t support any limits to the right to keep and bear arms. None. I think you should be able to defend your home with heavy artillery if that’s what I feel is called for–though I do think you should be on the hook if you blow up your neighbor’s house–and I don’t like the idea that I can’t have pretty much whatever weapons I want.

UK Man's Sentence Illustrates Stupidity Of Gun Bans :: 05/05/2020
Humans are an innovative and industrious species. No other creatures on this planet do what we do. Even those that build things don’t do so on a scale even close to us. It’s really quite impressive.
Why Some Are Willing to Trade Freedom for Corona-Safety :: 05/05/2020
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- As I watch some people work themselves into indignant, self-righteous outrage over the fact that others are storming their statehouses to demand freedom, I can’t help but smile. This is the way it should be. This is the way it was intended. The problem is, those who choose to hand their freedom over to the government for perceived safety will continue to label these Americans as terrorists.
Gun Controls Fail: Canadian Mass Murderer Prohibited Possessor :: 05/04/2020
The restrictions Canada has placed on obtaining, keeping, and using firearms failed entirely in the recent mass murder case in Nova Scotia. I refrain from using the murderer's name. Canadian restrictions on gun ownership failed. The murderer had plead guilty to an assault charge in 2002. He paid a $50 fine, and served probation for nine months. He then had a lifetime ban on owning firearms. From nypost.com:

The Second Amendment Day of Reckoning Is About to Dawn :: 05/04/2020
The ballyhoo over the U.S. Supreme Court’s tiptoe around a Second Amendment decision this week might be a gun control celebration a little too soon.
Using the COVID-19 pandemic to justify a gun ban :: 05/04/2020
Despite all the claims that gun control organizations only want “reasonable” gun control laws, the coronavirus pandemic has revealed that they do want to ban guns. Gun control advocates somehow want to claim that closing down gun stores doesn’t infringe on people’s ability to own guns for self-defense.
PA State Government Committee FAILS to Protect Inviolate Rights - HB 2440 :: 05/03/2020
Today, the Pennsylvania House Government Committee – instead of standing up for Pennsylvania citizens’ inviolate rights by enacting an amendment that would have reasserted those rights – amended HB 2440 to putatively reopen sportsman clubs with an amendment that provides a whole host of issues.
The Second Amendment Will Soon Be Back at the Supreme Court :: 05/02/2020
The Supreme Court should and will take a Second Amendment case very soon, and Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D., R.I.) won’t be happy. When Whitehouse basically threatened the Supreme Court over a recent Second Amendment case, perhaps he didn’t realize that he could get what he wanted and still lose the fight. This week, although the Court dismissed as moot the case that had Whitehouse in a tizzy, the Court is reviewing a slew of Second Amendment petitions that he’ll like even less.
Tucker Carlson: During coronavirus pandemic, totalitarianism doesn't shock us anymore :: 05/02/2020
Last week we interviewed a longtime partner at the consulting firm McKinsey & Company named Peter Walker. Like so many in finance and consulting, Walker spent an awful lot of his career doing business in China. We have no idea how much money he made doing that.
Biden set to head most anti-gun ticket ever :: 05/01/2020
The leading firearms industry trade group is warning that likely Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, a gun ban advocate, is eyeing running mates who favor stricter gun control, likely making the ticket the most anti-gun ever and one that will seek to confiscate weapons.
Canada: Justin Trudeau Announces Immediate Ban On 'Military-style Weapons' :: 05/01/2020

Court Overturns Attempted Manslaughter Charge For Marine :: 05/01/2020
The world of military law is quite different than civilian law. There are things that are considered offenses under the Uniformed Code of Military Justice that would never fly in civilian court, and for good reason. The military can’t tolerate certain things because the undermine the readiness of the armed forces.
Canada: Government Officials Say Canadian Gun Ban Is Imminent :: 04/30/2020
Justin Trudeau’s government will move forward with a sweeping ban on semi-automatic firearms, and the announcement could come by the end of the week according to unnamed government officials who spoke to Canada’s Globe & Mail newspaper. The anonymous officials told reporters that most of the details have already been approved by Trudeau’s cabinet, and while additional gun control legislation is planned, the gun ban itself will be imposed without a vote in Parliament.
PA Supreme Court To Rule On Standing In Preemption Case :: 04/30/2020
One of the legal principles that can be most annoying is the issue of standing. In other words, someone has to show they were impacted by a law in order to challenge a law, even if it’s a ridiculously stupid law. In many cases, that means you have to be charged with breaking that law. However, that’s a problem, particularly on things like gun rights cases. Once you break the law, you run into issues with your gun rights. Even if you don’t commit a felony, you could end up losing expensive property that’s renamed “exhibit A”.
Will This Be The Next 2A Case Heard By SCOTUS? :: 04/30/2020
On Friday, the nine justices on the U.S. Supreme Court will meet in conference to go through several dozen cases that are currently being considered for review by the Court. Among them are ten cases having to do with the right to keep and bear arms, and given the fact that justices Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Clarence Thomas, and Brett Kavanaugh all indicated this week that they want the Court to hear a Second Amendment challenge sooner rather than later, expectations are high that the justices could announce that they’ll hear at least one of these cases as early as next Monday.
CA Criminals Ignoring Gun Laws With Little Consequence :: 04/29/2020
California’s required background checks on all ammunition purchases is once again being enforced after a brief pause thanks to a federal judge, but as it turns out, violating that law and many other gun control laws on the books during the coronavirus state of emergency may come with little or no penalty whatsoever.
Frank Miniter: 2nd Amendment not 'moot' - this is what Supreme Court got wrong on NYC gun law :: 04/29/2020
Anyone who cherishes their freedom must be shaking their fists at the U.S. Supreme Court right now for ruling Monday that New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. New York City is “moot.”
