We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
By Ray CarrI have vivid memories of Decoration Day as a young kid. We would meet up at the bowling alley parking lot. I’m nervous about my Boy Scout uniform. Some is new, some is handed down from cousins. I have never had a complete uniform and my shoes…
[caption id="attachment_31809" align="alignnone" width="770"] Image courtesy Springfield Armory.[/caption] I regularly advise people to avoid Chicago when possible. It's simply not safe there. The local political leaders protect the criminals while disparaging the law-abiding victims of crime. And just the law-abiding in general. Want an example? I'm so glad you asked…
Gun owners won big with the Bruen decision at the US Supreme Court. The court, in a 6-3 decision, ruled that the Second Amendment effectively means what it says, and that any effort to restrict it must follow commonplace contemporary laws of the 18th and 19th centuries. Clarence Thomas wrote…

The man (we’ll call him Fred to protect his identity) is now in his 70s and increasingly frail. He was at home when three individuals showed up.…
Some members of the Naperville City Council want to virtue signal to their fellow gun-hating leftists by banning sales of commonly sold self-defense firearms in their city. Of course, gun owners opposed this proposal that would hurt the poor, women and people of color. [caption id="attachment_31775" align="alignnone" width="770"] Law Weapons'…

Despite a proven track record of fabricating "facts" to promote gun control, the Illinois Attorney General has hired him to defend their position that the FOID Act is constitutional in the post-Bruen world.

DRAFT_Assault_Weapon_Sales_Ban_Ordinance_-_July_13_2022 Gun control disarms victims, not criminals. And gun free zones only apply to the law-abiding among us. Yet, despite those simple truths, a virtue-signaling contingent among the City of Naperville leadership wants to "do something" following the Highland Park massacre. Instead of targeting criminals or Antifa-wannabes to make families…
Arizona's Jerone Davison (pictured above) doesn't mince words when it comes to the Second Amendment. He's out with a shocking and powerful campaign ad, one which he says is a cinematic depiction of something that happened to him as a child in rural Mississippi. In the voiceover, Davison brutally slashes…
Hallelujah. We knew the Bruen decision would almost certainly fall in our favor, but looking it over, it's so much more than striking down "may issue" carry laws in states like New York, California and Hawaii. There is much to celebrate for gun rights. After all, racist, classist and sexist…
