Looking the Bruen Gift Horse in the Mouth :: 07/14/2022
It was a landmark Supreme Court decision, no doubt about it. The 6 - 3 ruling in favor of the plaintiffs in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen was at times actually a fun read, if one can say that about a legal syllabus and opinions. And the implications for rolling back further federal and state infringements are promising and plentiful, especially since the high court’s majority opinion rejects means-end scrutiny and instead embraces a requirement for “courts to assess whether modern firearms regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding.”

Op-ed makes bizarrely bold claim about Founding Fathers :: 07/13/2022
The Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, setting the stage for just who we, as a nation, would become. While they weren’t perfect–they were, after all, simply men and not gods–they managed an incredible feat. They created our system of government at a time when there was nothing like it anywhere else in the world.
Volunteer firefighter admits to stealing guns during calls :: 07/13/2022
Firefighters do important work. I don’t think anyone will dispute that in any way, shape, or form. While some think we can defund the police, no one talk about defunding firefighters.

Repeal and Replace the 2nd Amendment? :: 07/12/2022

Some asking if new California laws are constitutional :: 07/12/2022
Following the Bruen decision, there’s a new standard for constitutionality when it comes to gun control laws. Further, it’s not an overly difficult standard for the layman to understand.
