Welcome to Freedom’s Lodge, where we’re spotlighting Second Amendment wins that fortify gun rights. This week, firearm freedoms soared with major court rulings dismantling restrictive gun control laws and congressional action against ATF overreach. These gun rights victories highlight the unstoppable fight for Second Amendment protections. Let’s dive into the action! Second Amendment…
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…
Anti-Gun Democrats are happier than pigs in mire about the “Manhattan NFL shooting,” and we can prove it. On Monday, July 28, a crazed man (who may or may not have been suffering from CTE, a brain disease caused by repeated head trauma) decided that the best way to make things right in his world…
Gavin Newsom is the walking, talking epitome of that classic grade-school gross-out song. Just in case your upbringing somehow managed to elide this playground classic, you should know that after a long list of extremely questionable foodstuffs, the singer laments, “And me, without a spoon.” That’s Greasy Gavin, all right: No matter what vile nonsense…
You call them turret adjustments, I call them “Happy Birthday” spanks. Firearms and ammunition ballistics have changed greatly over the last half-century, but absolutely nothing has seen greater leaps in technology, innovation, and performance capabilities than the riflescope. Through those decades, Burris Optics has been in the industry forerunner, developing dependable, reliable, and affordable riflescopes…
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’re speaking now, because we do not intend to forever hold our peace. Ever been to a wedding and realized that the marriage is going to be an utter trainwreck before the vows are even exchanged, or the ink dry on the license? That’s a decent allegory for what’s about to happen in Washington, D.C.,…
The U.S. Department of Justice has stepped into Illinois’ PICA litigation, and it’s beautiful. A couple of years back, the Illinois Democratic party machine decided that they simply didn’t care about what the Supreme Court said in Heller, McDonald, and Bruen. Rather than adhere to all of the recent SCOTUS rulings that clearly state that…
The nation’s oldest and largest civil-rights organization seemed to be on the ropes just a couple of years ago. Things have clearly changed. In the aftermath of a series of layoffs during the COVID-19 pandemic and a politically motivated lawsuit courtesy of one Letitia James (hey, Tish, how’s that mortgage?), things were starting to look…
I have the most dangerous pants in the Second Amendment sphere, and I can prove it! Remember when Elon Musk bought Twitter and said that he was putting an end to the rampant censorship on that platform? How, as long as you weren’t breaking any laws or specifically harassing people, your voice would be respected?…
Say, when was the last time you saw anti-gunners marching for “our” lives? It’s been a minute, hasn’t it? Take a moment and run some phrases like “protest against gun violence” or “demonstration against lax gun laws” through your favorite search engine. Notice that, to the extent that there are any recent ones, they’re local…
“No one is above the law,” they bleat, until one of their own gets caught … This is one of those blink-and-you-missed-it stories that almost went under the radar, largely because it involves a lawsuit against the NRA from one of its former presidents. Said president is now claiming that the Brady Campaign tried to…
