I guess Biden was the “lying dog-face pony soldier” all along … The Citizens’ Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has one of the best takes on Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son Hunter for a number of crimes, known and unknown, and that is that we now know who the…
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Every accusation leveled at pro-gun pols is actually a confession from the accuser. When we were told that Donald Trump was set to usher in a new age of anti-Constitutional authoritarianism if he were elected, that was a confession. When we were told that he will…
Imagine being so unhinged you’d stop donations going to a children’s hospital because you didn’t like how the funds were raised. For gun banners, that’s not a thought exercise–it’s their everyday reality. Imagine taking every single social interaction and weighing it based on whether it conforms to your political party’s platform. For anti-gunners, that’s how…
On Tuesday, the nation rejected the toothy Glock Tuah … and the anti-gunners are spitting mad! There are a lot of reasons to be happy about the results of the 2024 Presidential election, but chief among them is the fact that the anti-gunners ran the dumbest campaign in American history. That really ought not to…
Kamala Harris is not okay. This is, hands-down, the strangest presidential election cycle in the last 60 years. A sitting president was revealed to be seriously cognitively impaired during his first campaign debate. A couple of weeks later, his challenger barely survived an assassination attempt. The sitting president was then ousted from his own re-election…
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…
This is John Kerry’s “goose hunt” all over again. Only dumber! Starting to miss John Kerry yet? He may not have exactly covered himself in glory during his tour of the Vietnam conflict, but he did go. There were never any questions about whether he actually completed his service. When Kerry went hunting in a…
Come join the nation’s largest open carry event defending our 2nd Amendment on Saturday and Sunday, October 12 & 13, 2024, from 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and celebrate the 2nd Amendment and constitutional liberties that make America great! What makes America great? God, obviously. Americans, too, and there will be thousands of them at…
This is why there have been so few interviews with Governor A-Walz … he’s no better than Kamala on camera. It’s only been a couple of days since JD Vance mopped the floor with Tim Walz in the first (and likely only) vice-presidential debate, but in the 24/7 news cycle, that’s an eternity. And, in…
Maybe she’d respect the Bill of Rights more if it came with salt to lick and a lime to suck. I gave my editor two choices for the line of text right up there ^. The only difference between the sentences was which nouns came in the second phrase. Whatever suckable, lickable object we’re discussing,…
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…
Every day, we get a little further through Lewis Carroll’s storied “looking glass.” Up is down. Black is white. Russia invaded Ukraine under Trump. Springfield, Ohio is doing just ducky. (See what I did there?) Kamala Harris wants a border wall, and she never said she’d ban guns. Does it matter that the mainstream media…
