The city of New Orleans doesn’t believe it’s in America. Part of the reason why is that for the first half of its existence, it actually wasn’t American. The city’s founding predates the American Revolution and it has been in French, Spanish, and then finally in American hands. The other part of the reason why…
We, as a society, have defined “dangerous” down. That’s a bad thing. When most of us–even the most dedicated pro-2A activists–hear about gun laws that prevent convicted felons from possessing firearms, we shrug. That’s because most of us have a different definition of a “felon” than much of the U.S. government. As NRA’s Institute for…
Let’s have some empathy: When you’re an anti-gun Chicago alderman (but we repeat ourselves), it can be tough to stay chipper! The emotional fragility of anti-gun politicians and activists really can’t be exaggerated, and it’s hilarious. Remember the journalist who claimed he got post-traumatic stress disorder from shooting an AR-15? Or this eloquent and well-reasoned…
By now, you’ve no doubt heard of Bryan Malinowski’s death at the hands of ATF during a no-knock early-morning raid. If not, the short version of the tragic story is that, in March 2024, he and his wife awoke to the sounds of their door being broken down by ATF agents. Malinowski apparently didn’t understand…
Ever heard of “The Narcissist’s Prayer”? That Never Happened! And also you are remembering it wrong! And if you’re remembering it right, it wasn’t that big a deal! And if it was a big deal, it wasn’t my fault! And if it was my fault … YOU DESERVED IT. All of us have, in our lives,…
The political experts at NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA, which is a separate entity from the NRA) believe that 2024 will be critical for the future of the Second Amendment. Here are their informed guesses about what’s in store for gun owners and the right to keep and bear arms this year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While…
Biden’s L Team made a wishlist! All by themselves! And it only took two months! Way back at the beginning of October, we noted that Joe Biden had gathered a hand-picked bouquet of gun-grabbers whose job it would be to … well, we weren’t sure at the time. Here at Freedom’s Lodge, our best guess…
Today, we have a guest column courtesy of the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action! (We supplied the images and captions.) There’s a pop quiz at the end, so pay attention … Americans of all political stripes should be able to agree that Joe Biden is no genius. The president is prone to bouts of…
The next time some anti-gunner asks you why you don’t “just call the cops” instead of arming yourself … … show them this article from the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). For decades, America’s anti-gunners have been smugly informing America’s gun owners that our firearms won’t protect us against a home invasion, armed robbery,…
The anti-gunners in Congress have decided to table the “assault weapons” ban vote for now. According to reporting from Politico, House Democrats have elected to punt the vote on their much-beloved “assault weapons” ban to after the summer session. The report indicates that the reason Pelosi is procrastinating on it is that she knows that…
If the only way to win a debate is to muzzle your opponent, you lose. New York isn’t the only state pitching a world-class toddler tantrum over the Supreme Court’s recent Bruen decision. Not to be outdone, California ate a bran muffin, drank a gallon of gas-station coffee, and squatted out some legislation that manages…
This is, hands-down, one of the anti-gunners’ neatest tricks. Amid all the furor about “red flag” laws, something has been lost: For decades now, it has been very simple to have someone’s gun rights revoked for life even if their crime was a misdemeanor, and even if that crime doesn’t rise to the level of…
