We Already Knew, BUT: NRA Exposes Shocking 911 Call
We here at Freedom’s Lodge join the NRA in our unapologetic pro-law enforcement stance, BUT: Our nation’s law enforcement agencies are designed and staffed by human beings. Human beings have some problems that we simply can’t escape. For example, we’re bound by the space/time continuum and cannot be in two places at once. If the…

NRA-ILA: NYC Subway More Dangerous Than the Gridiron
Ever read “Bonfire of the Vanities”? As the unofficial center of the free world, New York City has also represented a gun-banner’s daydream since it adopted the Sullivan Act over 100 years ago.

Why do otherwise intelligent-seeming Americans think there’s no such thing as “good guys with guns”? That question haunts a lot of Second Amendment advocates, including me.

Dear Seattle: Told You So. Signed, America’s Gun Owners
For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “CCRKBA Was Right Again.” It’s been said that the four most hateful words in the English language are “I told you so.” Thing is, sometimes you just have to say them, especially if the thing you told them would have prevented a tragedy…

A Tale of Two Countries (& How Anti-Gun Laws Endanger Them)
This is why we cannot let individual crimes affect our individual right to self-defense. Last night, a maniac in Lewiston, Maine committed a disgusting act of mass murder.

The “fooling around” in Washington state goes back to 2020, when its citizens and administration informed the police that they weren’t required anymore.
