Rittenhouse Verdict Leads To Call To Repeal Second Amendment 30.11.2021

It's not the first time that voices on the Left have demanded the repeal of the Second Amendment, and it won't be the last, but as Cam points out, the calls from pundits and columnists to erase away part of the Bill of Rights inevitably turn out to be all talk and no action.

Will Rittenhouse Acquittal Change Gun Debate? 22.11.2021

Veteran Releases Perfect Anthem To Honor Those Who've Served 11.11.2021

A link to that video can be found here....

Gun Control Is Dooming Dems To Defeat In Rural America 08.11.2021

Last week's election losses should be all that's needed to convince Democrats that treating gun owners and the right to keep and bear arms with contempt isn't smart politically, but as Cam notes, the Left doesn't appear willing or ready to learn that lesson.

California Rifle & Pistol Association head and Second Amendment attorney Chuck Michel says he's feeling pretty good after hearing Wednesday's Supreme Court oral arguments in a case challenging New York's subjective carry permitting laws, and he's hoping that the Court's upcoming opinion will open the door for major challenges to many of California's infringements on the...

The nine justices on the Supreme Court had plenty of questions for attorneys representing individual gun owners, the state of New York, and the Biden administration in a case seeking to overturn the state's subjective and arbitrary standards for issuing concealed carry permits, and as Cam details, those defending the law didn't have many good answers.

Are Guns The Hidden Issue In The Virginia Election? 02.11.2021

Gun control didn't really emerge as a campaign issue for either Democrat Terry McAuliffe or Republican Glenn Youngkin in the Virginia governor's race, despite the fact that the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement swept across the commonwealth less than two years ago. As Cam explains, both campaigns may have downplayed their views for strategic reasons, but that doesn't mean that voters...
