Democrats: Fundamentally transforming the United States of America. Several high-profile Senate Democrats warned the Supreme Court in pointed terms this week that it could face a fundamental restructuring if justices do not take steps to “heal” the court in the near future. The ominous and unusual warning was delivered as part of a brief filed Monday in a

FTA: Among the many misguided gun control proposals from Governor Northam is a so-called “Red Flag Law.” This measure may be the single greatest threat to our constitutional freedoms ever introduced in the Commonwealth of Virginia. His red flag law would give the Commonwealth power to remove a person’s firearms without any evidence a person

“But the logic of the ruling class’s campaign against white supremacy cannot end in the deplorables’ peaceful submission because that campaign itself has no natural end. Some of the class’s components are sure to push for ever-stricter measures. More surely, an inherently abusive campaign of racial profiling itself guarantees deadly friction. One of these days,

A Republican who is not joining the wrong chorus. We already have “common sense gun laws”. It is our Second Amendment. In our Bill of Rights. The very definition of common sense. Gov. Chris Sununu on Friday vetoed three bills that advocates said would have added “commonsense” protections for Granite Staters against gun violence but

“That government can prevent crimes before they occur may sound like sci-fi fantasy (which it is), but the threat posed to civil liberties is quite real.” The Associated Press reports Congress is seriously considering red flag gun laws. These laws, also called “extreme risk protection orders,” allow courts to issue orders allowing law enforcement to

“The new law is unlikely to accomplish anything worthwhile, but rather will give law enforcement and prosecutors another way to harass what will almost always be innocent victims of another poorly conceived and unnecessary knife ban.” While we were successful in repealing New York’s Gravity Knife Ban in an effort to solve the problems with

After the horrible carnage of the last two weeks, we have seen some folks and some organizations who claim to be staunch defenders of the Constitution and Bill of Rights fold like a cheap suit. Sadly, I always suspected President Trump would fold on gun rights, and this is not his first example of that.

My thoughts on the ultimate plan: when none of the proposed laws prevent further massacres only disarming all citizens will satisfy the anti-gun monster. House Minority Whip Steve Scalise said Friday on “America’s Newsroom” that he doubts proposed “red flag” laws or stricter background checks would have prevented the 2017 attack that left him gravely

With the Dayton shooter having used a 100-round magazine, such higher-capacity magazines are firmly in the spotlight once again. Anti-gun activists, the kind of people who have probably never fired a gun and have never actually studied gunfights to any degree, have been railing all about how you don’t need 100 rounds for self-defense. However,

“Donald Trump can talk about due process. Lindsey Graham can talk about due process. David French can talk about due process. But when push comes to shove, state legislators will give it short shrift, and so will judges, because they both have strong incentives to cast the net as widely as possible, the better to
