An Innocent Man

Major 2A win in Ohio involving an individual indicted for possessing a firearm while under indictment for crime of which he was never convicted. [Watch]

If I’m reading this right, (Republican) prosecutor Melissa Powers evidently believes Ohioans elected a Republican majority so that she could deny the Second Amendment to a man whose robbery indictment was dismissed.

Playing the Trump Card

SAF DECLARES ‘WE WILL DEFEND DONALD TRUMP’S GUN RIGHTS!’ [More]

Between this and Hunter Biden, we may see some walls come tumbling down.
