Democrats Continue To Turn On The Constitution :: 09/05/2019
The state isn’t here to give you everything you want—not even if what you want is extraordinarily popular with your fellow Americans. This is, no doubt, disorientating for voters who grew up believing they live in a “democracy.” In reality, our un-democratic constitutional bulwarks temper the vagaries of the majority. “Had every Athenian citizen been a Socrates,” James Madison quipped, “every Athenian assembly would still have been a mob.”
Dems Propose First Gun Grab Since Lexington And Concord :: 09/05/2019
The media should stop using absurdly lazy phrases like “mandatory gun buybacks.” Unless the politician they’re talking about is in the business of selling firearms, it’s impossible for him to “buy back” anything. No government official—not Joe Biden, not Beto O’Rourke, not any of the candidates who now support “buyback” programs—has ever sold firearms.

Tucker Carlson: Gun Buybacks Would Lead to Civil War :: 09/05/2019
Hours after The View’s Meghan McCain warned that there would be “lots of violence” if the American government enforced mandatory gun buybacks, Fox News host Tucker Carlson took that argument even further on Tuesday night and claimed buybacks would lead to a “civil war.”
Walgreens Joins Chorus of Companies Against Open Carry :: 09/05/2019
While I didn’t agree with the decision, I understood why Walmart asked people to no longer open carry in their stores. It was a bad decision that will do nothing to increase the safety of customers in their stores, but I understood where they were coming from. I guess I can even understand why Kroger joined them. After all, they’d had a recent shooting in one of their stores, too.
Anti-Gunners: Dean: Gun Violence Needs To Be A Top Priority For Voters :: 09/04/2019
Summer is a time for making memories with friends and family, barbecuing, block parties, or going to the shore.

For people who live in more red districts, it’s difficult enough to take places like San Francisco seriously. It’s kind of hard not to laugh at communities that want to lecture you on how to live your life when they can’t seem to live without human feces on their sidewalks.
Ted Cruz To Debate Guns With Actress/Activist Alyssa Milano :: 09/04/2019
