FOP and IACP Show ‘Only Ones’ Arrogance Opposing Gun Reciprocity for All

And sadly, it’s hardly an unexpected reaction from the FOP and IACP, with long histories of endorsing infringements. [More]

These LEOSA beneficiaries really expect us to “back the blue” after demanding infringements on our right to keep and bear arms?

Interesting (to me, anyway) story on the graphic– within an hour of submitting my draft to Firearms News, I got the above FOP solicitation in the mail. I did a scan and sent it to editor Vince DeNiro, telling him I was going to print out my article after it was posted and return it to them in their envelope, with a few choice words, instead of a donation.

I had no idea he was going to use my scan as the article illustration and literally burst out laughing when I saw he’d used it.

‘Stand Your Ground’ Recalls Nightmare Ordeal After Lawful Self-Defense

We know that something similar to what was forced on him, where we suddenly find ourselves having to defend ourselves against a previously unknown threat, could happen when we least expect it. And we know that police and prosecutors will often be personally and politically incentivized to treat us like criminals, and to interpret events to support their interests rather than ours. [More]

It could happen to you.

What is clear is someone with motives of their own, knowing full well that their complaining to police could result in this man’s loss of freedom (or worse) took advantage of the disarmed snitch culture encouraged by authorities in order to destroy his life. [More]

Gun Groups’ Warm Welcome for Trump’s Proposed ATF Head is Premature

Gun owners who pay attention to his confirmation hearings will have a chance to hear for themselves, and see how Cekada’s answers, especially to questions posed by anti-gun Democrats, comport with being “truly pro-Second Amendment.” [More]

“He won’t betray us as much” seems a heck of a standard to applaud.

What Does Massie Challenger Gallrein’s Promised 2nd Amendment Support Really Mean?

“What I try to do with these things is show readers a politician will go beyond platitudes and demonstrate an understanding of concerns and developments the constituents are expressing and following”… [More]

The Second Amendment is the sole focus of this article, not any other policy issues or the reasons Trump wants to end Massie’s political career, nor Massie’s reasons for opposing parts of the president’s agenda.

Merits Brief Informs SCOTUS on Hawaii’s ‘Vampire Rule’

Upholding Hawaii’s disarmament edict “fails every aspect of the analytical framework established by Bruen,” Beck and Petitioner Co-Counsel Mark W. Pennack argue. [More]

It’s difficult to conceive how the same court that gave us Bruen could agree that the Founders would have been cool with ubiquitous infringements.

An Earle-Sears VA Loss Could Be a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Show an enemy committed to your destruction you’re not willing to fight to the hilt and don’t expect that to do anything but embolden them. [More]

Is the Second Amendment an Obsolete Relic of Another Time?

Are we certain, from our brief and privileged vantage point, that our familiar way of life will forever be the norm, when everything that has gone before us shows we are, instead, the extremely lucky beneficiaries of a rare and fortunate convergence of circumstances, and one that has only been preserved under the force of arms?

Democrat Inaction and Gun Prohibitionist Silence on Violent Jay Jones Comments Speaks Volumes

Equally unsurprising, but nonetheless very revealing, is that none of the so-called “gun safety groups” that have come out for Jones are rescinding their endorsements. [More]

Maybe the cat’s got their tongue… And why does it look like the Brady group is trying to quietly erase their endorsement…?

Youngstown State University Stadium’s Reported ‘Prohibited Items’ Rules Raise Legal Questions

Cardinal Mooney posted an information sheet on Facebook detailing prohibited behaviors and items. Among them are “Weapons of any kind, including off-duty law enforcement, weapons, pipes, knives or chains.” [More]

It’s not so much a matter of sticking up for “Only Ones” exclusivity as one of not allowing local entities to undermine preemption and overrule state law.
