The Illinois Sheriffs Association has quietly filed an amicus brief in federal court in support of the lawsuits seeking to strike down the new Illinois Firearms Ban Act. Clearly this is good news for our side in this matter. Here it is... It's only ten pages long. In other words,…
Remember a wise and telling quote from Benjamin Franklin, one of our Founding Fathers: Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety. That applies to a lot of things, but not the least of which is gun control. Advocate for…
The owners of Kee Firearms and Training in New Lenox were arrested in their home following a dynamic SWAT raid by federal authorities yesterday. Absent aggravating factors, it seems the federal law enforcement folks went a whole lot of overboard tossing flashbangs into Jeff Regnier's home after battering down the…
God bless Senator Steve McClure. He's seeking to pass a bill to establish enhanced penalties for drunk (or stoned) drivers who kill or seriously injure others. Now, I like Sen. McClure but he's just going through the motions on this. The Center Square has the story of McClure's bill to…

David Hogg. He thinks you and I "have no right to a gun." Is David Hogg's statement/tweet just a feeble attempt at gaslighting Americans or does it demonstrate the quality of education Harvard undergrads can expect? You have no right to a gun. You are not a militia. When you’re…
You wonder why the Mexican drug cartels pretty much run Chicago and use it as a hub for illegal drug distribution? Because it's so easy to cross America's southern border. Of course criminals bring their criminal tendencies with them. And that leaves ordinary Americans at increased risk of violent crime…
