Gun control activists have long claimed that “Stand Your Ground” laws, which remove a legal duty to retreat in the face of an attack before an individual can act in self-defense, encourage vigilantism and actually cause more crimes than they help prevent.

Is "Firearm Life Plan" good for gun owners? :: 02/26/2022

I mean, it’s not difficult to see why we might get a little touchy about it.

One Trap Second Amendment Supporters Should Avoid :: 02/24/2022
Philadelphia 1787/United States 2022 – -(AmmoLand.com)- Some Second Amendment supporters look to a constitutional convention as a means to restore our freedoms, and maybe even make the right to keep and bear arms untouchable.
