I have a problem with the idea of “law enforcement officers who are in the country illegally.” Long before we even get to the question of carrying firearms, being in the country illegally is itself a violation of the law. So the premise becomes troubling: are we really saying that people who are themselves breaking

A major federal lawsuit has been filed in Hawaii by attorney Alan Beck, challenging the state’s law that bars non-residents from obtaining concealed carry permits. Representing plaintiff Jonathan Sinsky and the Hawaii Rifle Association, Beck argues that the law violates the Second Amendment. The 52-page complaint includes 35 pages of historical evidence showing a longstanding

“Salim’s law would have done nothing to prevent Virginia Tech, or likely any other shootings.” The Virginia General Assembly recently sent a bill for Gov. Abigail Spanberger’s (D-VA) signature that would ban new sales of “assault firearms” and “high-capacity magazines,” two nonsense phrases concocted by the Left to scare non-gun owners.

“… hospitals are flooded wait times are through the roof. You can’t get a MRI or a CAT scan in reasonable amount of time, people are being offered MAID instead of help but yet here we are spending nearly $1 billion probably more on something that will do absolutely nothing to curb crime.” The federal

Why the “Common Use” Standard is Essential to Jewish Self-Reliance In my recent essay, The Case That Could Rewrite Federal Gun Law, I discussed how the National Firearms Act of 1934 may now be facing what I called a constitutional pincer movement. If the tax that justified the law is effectively reduced to $0, the government may have

“A court finally applies Bruen, Heller, and Rahimi correctly in a mag ban possession case… And the dissent bizarrely talks about ‘clips’.” On March 5, the District of Columbia Court of Appeals issued a decision in a case the Department of Justice had previously defended, overturning a possession conviction for an individual who had a

As I’ve noted here many times, I was born in Toronto, Canada, where my parents emigrated to from the Displaced Persons camp after the Holocaust. My parents left Toronto for California when I was five. I remember a friend in Toronto telling me in the late 1990s that York Mall was filled with hijabed women.

It’s not too late to become an armed citizen. To paraphrase the late Colonel Jeff Cooper, “Owning a gun no more makes you an armed citizen than owning a guitar makes you a musician.” Not surprisingly, since the jihad attack in Austin, Texas last week and the FBI miraculously finding the courage to declare, potentially, said incident

This is a longer article, but well worth taking the time to read. Mark W. Smith has a very approachable style and does an excellent job explaining important Second Amendment cases in a way non-lawyers can easily understand. Introduction In the year since New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen[2] was decided, a line of
