We learn a lot about ourselves and others in the midst of a crisis. Hollywood and leftists had no problem revealing themselves for what they are (again) in the aftermath of the horror of the Texas massacre. Leftists, these worshippers of failed big government, decided to condemn people of faith...

Once again, here’s the real deal—everything the leftists say about guns is a contemptible lie. Every. Single. Thing. It’s a lie when they say they merely want to have a “conversation” and seek only “bipartisan compromise.” Foamy Marco Rubio got suckered into that grift just like Chuck Schumer...

The changes in crime or suicide rates due to gun control do not answer the fundamental philosophical question: Do free people have the right to keep and bear arms? Our Founding Fathers apparently thought so. The right of self-preservation and self-protection is inherent in all persons...

It plays to those who feel disgust for the right to keep and bear arms because it's a critical component of feeling competent and autonomous as individuals, rather than totally relying on the goodwill of an almighty, unassailable government. A disarmed population is, by definition, a population...

Justice Antonin Scalia writing for the majority in District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008): Before addressing the verbs "keep" and "bear," we interpret their object: "Arms." The 18th-century meaning is no different from the meaning today. The 1773 edition of Samuel Johnson's...

Indeed, an 18 year old with a voter registration card is certainly more dangerous than one with a firearm. Perhaps more important than the physical disarmament is the moral disarmament that accompanies it. If we accept the view that citizens under 21 years of age cannot be trusted with the...

The OP wrote "if you want to discuss *why* image is important, feel free to do it right here in General." While the writer of the following nonsense, Maren Mecham, isn’t wrong when she says “people with fear and hatred in their hearts sometimes use guns to kill other people,” she, like so many...

An appallingly common argument against private gun ownership is based on what could be called a Sheep vs. Wolves model. Essentially the argument goes, there are only two kinds of people who reside in this country: the peace-loving, guileless and socially well-adjusted individuals who do no harm...

Of course, the primary driver is an insatiable craving for power and control. For at least the past half century leftists have been remolding the population to create a herd of hopeless, scared, and feebleminded people. People with no moral center and a tenuous grasp on the truth. Ultimately...

Logic and reason are lost on those who blindly seek to disarm and then enslave the American citizenry. No amount of logical discourse, historical observation, or simple rational use of the English language will dissuade them from their "beliefs". The crux of the gun argument comes to down to who...

Leftists are unblushingly parading traumatized teens to make an emotional plea about gun control and the supposed evils of the Second Amendment. But we don't let adolescents drive policy, eh? Are juveniles innocents or are they leaders? Are they fully autonomous decision-makers, or are they...

The leftists have even christened some of them as "Dreamers"! How's that for an Orwellian attempt at culture shaping? Indeed, language can be a powerful and potent thing, shaping perceptions and framing the terms of debate. We all understand that it is no coincidence that those who are...

Not unlike an insidious disease, eh? In a very real sense this may be the last card held by a movement increasingly ensnared in a resentful quest to marginalize the dignity of individuals and abrogate certain constitutional rights (such as domestic disarmament).

If we fight the ensuing battle as if the war the leftists are waging against us is just about guns, we will lose the battle and the war with it. But if we insist, instead, that the war is about liberty, we may win the battle and give the forces of liberty a fighting chance to win the war. To do...

Our adversaries are quite willing to stoop to using guileless juveniles as PR chaff in the battle for political and ideological supremacy. Of course, this kind of politicization of kiddos has only one purpose: to advance whatever political agenda the Progressive Left whether its local or...

The most striking fact about these walkouts is how they became effectively a school sponsored political event in many areas. The schoolchild’s function is not to be a sock-puppet for anybody’s partisan agenda.

The debate over gun control reveals a fundamental difference between the conservative and the progressive temperament. The former realizes that the capacity for evil exists within every person, and that it always will. The latter believes that evil is something that can be eliminated by...

The negative association with one of the two major political parties is understandable, given the fact that for several years the nation's most strident and dedicated gun control advocates include the likes "Chuck" Schumer and Dianne Feinstein. The zealousness of those two has certainly...

Many people will come forward after an episode like Parkland, and immediately start to bleat "gun control, gun control, gun control!" Why? Because that is their favored response for violence. The way to deal with violence, the way to deal with crime, the way to deal with the challenge that we...

Alas, for at least the past five decades leftists have been remolding the urban populations to create a herd of hopeless, frightened, and weak-minded people. People with no moral center and a tenuous grasp on the truth. Ultimately, they intend to create a large swath of docile, disarmed and...
