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. I’m not talking about anti-gun mouthpieces, but ordinary citizens who have become convinced that having a gun makes you umpteen-diddly-thousand percent more likely to hurt yourself with it than...
Read More →The case of Don Lemon’s gun hypocrisy provides a striking example of changing positions. The former CNN anchor once advocated for a system where only government officials would have access to firearms. Now, however, he is encouraging Black and Brown communities to obtain legal guns specifically to confront potential threats from ICE agents…
Brooklyn Shooting: Another day, another tragedy in gun-control paradise: Up to four thugs unleashed hell in Brooklyn’s Taste of the City Lounge, killing three and wounding nine in a gang spat. Police found 42 shell casings, yet New York’s ironclad laws did zilch to stop it. Mayor Adams calls it out after removing over…
Elizabeth Willing Powel asked Ben Franklin, “Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?” He replied, “A republic, if you can keep it.” For 249 years, We the People have kept our precious republic. But we’d never have won it in the first place if it hadn’t been for the armed Colonials…
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…
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. When its mayor takes a tough-on-crime approach, as Rudy Giuliani did in the early ’00s, life in the city isn’t all that…
When Massad Ayoob talks gun rights, people listen. He’ll tell you how to do the same. He’s the author of In the Gravest Extreme, which is one of the Ur-texts of gun rights and self-defense. He’s been teaching self-defense techniques since 1974. For those not old enough to recall the 1970s and 1980s, it wasn’t…

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…
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. All right-thinking Americans–all right-thinking human beings–condemn this senseless, revolting violence. Everyone, that is, except the anti-gunners, who began calling for more gun control even as the victims’…
Ever seen “Red Dawn”? It was a controversial film when it was released in 1984, and it still is. Those who support the Second Amendment recognize it for what it is: Sheepdogs banding together to protect the herd from Russian wolves. Gun-grabbers like to cite it as a conservative fantasy that could never happen here….
It’s official: Washington State has now entered the “found out” phase. The “fooling around” in Washington state goes back to 2020, when its citizens and administration informed the police that they weren’t required anymore. Then, about three months ago, the fooling around intensified with a ban on semi-automatic firearms that is unconstitutional on its face….
The first thing you need to know about American “gun control” is that it began specifically to disarm freed Black slaves as part of the “Jim Crow” laws. There has been no slavery in America for over 150 years, but you couldn’t prove that by listening to the words of today’s anti-gunners. They all love…
