We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
We filed Guns Save Life's lawsuit a couple of weeks ago. We filed it in conjunction with the coalition of gun stores, gun clubs and gun rights organizations known as the Illinois Gun Rights Alliance. Very late in the day yesterday we filed a motion for a preliminary injunction blocking…
Past performance is no indicator of future results. At least that's the usual disclaimer you get from investment firms. With legislation and regulation though, history may not always repeat itself, but it certainly rhymes. At least it does for those wise enough to listen and watch. To the surprise of…
You have to love "charity" bond funds who pay the bail for bad guys who can't afford to pay their own bail after suffering the indignity of getting arrested for committing crimes. The charity bond funds allow the release of arrestees so they can go victimize more people back to…
The arrest numbers for Chicago suggest that those committing serious crimes face only a one in twenty chance of getting caught. Factor in a Soros-funded state's attorney that drops about a third of cases police present to her and, well, the number of criminals suffering consequences is nil. Wirepoints has…
Chicago isn't safe. Not even for decent people living in "decent" neighborhoods.

Caulkins' suit challenges aspects of the new law under the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Instead of using a boatload of individual plaintiffs as Tom DeVore has done…
Today's tactical flashlights complement a personal defense handgun quite nicely. In fact if you carry a gun, you should definitely carry a good flashlight. Seeing and being sure of what you're shooting at is part of responsible armed self-defense. Thirty years ago, cutting edge flashlights were SureFire 6p units that…
You have to admit, trying to defend school segregation in the face of the US Supreme Court decision Brown v. Board of Education was a tough one for some racist bigots in America back in the 1950s. Today, gun-hating bigots like Governor J.B. Pritzker and Attorney General Kwame Raoul are…
Democrats in Illinois have championed “criminal justice reform” for a long time now, implementing their Chicago-style policies state-wide where they could. What has this given us? Well, a judge in Chicago sentenced a 17-year-old drug dealer to three years of probation for stabbing a 15-year-old boy to death last year.…
