Calls For Trump To Nominate Pro Gun ATF Director

From The Truth About Guns:

Gun rights groups have already started making requests to President Trump, abolishing the White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention being among the first. Unsurprisingly, it looks as if that request has already made its way onto a checklist, as one of President Trump’s goals this time around is to trim some of the proverbial bureaucratic fat. Lawrence Keane, senior vice president and general counsel of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, seems to agree that a good place to start is where taxpayer dollars are being spent on efforts to erode their own freedom.

Christian Ethics On Self Defense

From American Greatness:

Ultimately, Zmirak’s goal in No Second Amendment, No First is “to show that the Christian view of the person, correctly understood, demands broad rights of self-defense for ordinary citizens—against both illegal violence and the prospect of tyrannical governments.”

Zmirak warns that we need to fight back against “impatient innovators [who] kick aside the tenets of Natural Law, Christian morality, the dignity of man, and the rights of the individual.”

Notes On A Horrible Firearms Class

From Swift Silent Deadly:

I hate to write a bad review, but the tipping point for this one was safety, which we’ll get to. In addition to at least one egregious safety violation, there was all around bad instructional methodology throughout. My purpose in writing this is to tease out some lessons-learned, rather than just complain.I have also tried to provide some good, real-world examples of instructors who do a great job in these areas.

Before we get into it: one important note: I am not going to name this instructor here. I grappled with this decision, and reached out to a couple other, more experienced bloggers for their opinions, because I don’t want you to spend your money on him, but I also don’t want to fuel drama in the gun industry. If you think you may be attending one of his classes, contact me and I may confirm or deny the instructor’s name. I reserve the right to make a case-by-case decision on this, however.
