So what if the Founders never envisioned the “boyfriend loophole”? If you can have a “living Constitution,” why not a “living Second Amendment.”

Sorry it took so long to reply– I was away for several days. The video incident happened before FL passed permitless carry. In retrospect, I should have pointed that out. [More]
The “Only One,” who doesn’t know the law and who said he had respect for an amendment he couldn’t even properly number, was instructing his victim to break another law.
If that’s coming from a sergeant, imagine the street grunt’s legal acumen.

There is something that is in DeSantis’ power to do that can mitigate that danger without having to rely on oath-breaking Republican power players… [More]
One simple, proactive order that is within the governor’s power to issue could minimize the chances of lawful open carriers being endangered by police ignorance of the law.

This new bill will authorize their foreign supplements/replacements to disarm American citizens on U.S. soil, and New Mexico under Democrat rule will give them plenty of opportunities. [More]
With “Only Ones” like these, who needs blue helmets?

That’s what makes this a learning experience for all of us when dealing with intractable people who act like they know it all. None of us do. [More]
What did Napoleon supposedly say about not interrupting your enemy when he’s making a mistake…?

Yesterday’s show, ICYMI.
I’m going to spend the afternoon writing an article about one of the topics we discussed. You’ll have to guess. Hopefully it will post before the weekend.

My print articles are available by subscription or at diverse and inclusive newsstands near you:

Since no innovation ever begins “in common use,” a government with the power to do so can ban all new weapon developments from those they would rule, retaining them exclusively for itself. [More]
Sorry, you can’t have one. Hey, it’s your “gun rights leaders” who embraced the “in common use” litmus test we’re using to deny you.

Bottom line, armed citizens are out there. A lot of them. Law enforcement needs to understand this and be prepared to handle encounters respectfully and professionally. [More]
It’s bad enough when we’re behaving legally and they’re not. Add in jokes and threats about killing us, and that’s intolerable.

Thomas Paine’s was the name I tripped up on as a quote source.
I knew that. I get going in a bunch of different directions and the old brain’s file retrieval system gets jammed sometimes.

So, why not ask him what he told NRA to get them to mobilize their members on his behalf? [More]
Or to paraphrase Sir Wilfrid in Witness for the Prosecution, “The question is, Mr. Jolly, were you lying then, are you lying now, or are you not in fact a chronic and habitual LIAR?”

If you want relief, contact your state representatives, the Democrat ones who are passing citizen disarmament edicts, and ask them not to. [More]
The bipolarity will continue until such time as gun owner advocates have a seat at the decision-making table.
David Codrea’s article “‘Study’ on School Shooters Really an Innuendo-Based Hit Piece on Gun Owners” highlights one of the results of gun control advocates’ mass deception. He presents with an “analysis” by Dr. Anne Nassauer, a professor of sociology at the University of Erfurt in Germany. Considering her virtually complete ignorance of the history of the American ‘gun culture’, past and present, the errors in her analysis aren’t surprising. [More]
Nice to know somebody reads more than the title…

Knowing what they intend, it’s only natural that Democrats in general (because they’re awful quiet about the mobs) and radicals like Omar make citizen disarmament a keystone in their agenda. [More]
Don’t make us angry. You wouldn’t like us when we’re angry.

If machine guns aren’t protected, the Second Amendment is a dead letter and anyone who maintains otherwise is a fraud. [More]
It’s like they’re either afraid of offending the guy who owes them or they realize their own arguments are being used against them.
Related UPDATE
It would seem not everyone is happy with me talking about this.

In this conversation, Mark Walters and David Codrea delve into the complexities surrounding the Second Amendment and gun control. They discuss the implications of the ‘common use’ argument, the distinction between self-defense and militia purposes, and the political landscape regarding gun rights. Personal anecdotes highlight how perspectives on gun ownership can change over time, emphasizing the importance of understanding the historical context of the Second Amendment. [More]
The discussion revolved around my latest from Firearms News.

We’re supposed be influenced by a statistically insignificant sample of losers and apply that judgment to young people, such as those involved in NRA Youth Interests programs…[More]
Half the article is just deconstructing the first sentence of this nonsense, it’s crammed with so much wrong. So naturally, the media runs with it and amplifies it.
