Constitutional Carry Signed In Texas
From The Truth About Guns:
Governor Greg Abbott held a signing ceremony at the Alamo in San Antonio this morning to sign into law seven bills designed to extend and protect the right to keep and bear arms in the Lone Star State. It was a clean sweep for gun rights supporters in the just-completed legislative session, one of the most successful ever.
Time To Rectify Heller
From The Federalist:
Heller adopted the nonsense whole cloth. Ironically, the opinion was written by Justice Scalia, renowned as the court’s great originalist. Ironic, in that there is nothing in the legislative history of the Second Amendment to support a “common use†test.
As Judge Benitez wrote, “The command of the Amendment is that the right to keep and bear arms ‘shall not be infringed.’†Not some arms, but “Arms.†And not “infringed too much,†but “infringed†at all.
Stop Using “Law Abiding Gun Owner”
From TheGunBlog.ca:
“To abide†is “to bear patiently,†“to endure without yielding,†or “to accept without objection,†according to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary.
Thesaurus.com suggests alternatives like “to submit, “to put up with,†“to receive,†“to take,†“to stomach,†“to swallow.â€
Abiding is about compliance, obedience, and subservience. It’s submitting out of obligation instead of acting powerfully from choice.
FiveThirtyEight Hypes Threat Of Militias
From FiveThirtyEight:
“There is no private militia that is lawful. Period. Full stop,†said McCord, whose group at Georgetown has identified laws on the books in every state that prohibit some or all private militia activity. But these laws often go unenforced, and that’s partly because in practice, it’s not always obvious what crosses a line. A law in Virginia, for example, bans weapons training but only if that training is intended to be used in “a civil disorder.â€
Analysis Of The California Gun Ruling
From The Federalist:
Under the Heller test, this record establishes the unconstitutionality of the ban on assault weapons, Benitez concluded. However, being bound by Ninth Circuit precedent, Benitez continued to consider the constitutionality of California’s law under that appellate court’s two-prong test. In his analysis, Benitez bypassed the strict scrutiny standard, noting in passing the law would fail that test as well, to apply the “intermediate scrutiny standard†created by the Ninth Circuit.
If You Need A Job, The Gun Industry Is Hiring
From Forbes:
Gun companies have been hiring thousands of workers throughout the coronavirus pandemic, riding an unprecedented swell in gun sales and bucking a steep overall decline in manufacturing employment in the U.S.
The publicly traded leaders in the industry said they’ve ramped up hiring during the pandemic to try and meet the record demand for guns and ammunition, which has outstripped the industry’s manufacturing capacity.
The Morality Of Self Defense
The morality of individual self-defense, collective rebellion in revolution, and engagement in collective military action are topics discussed succinctly and engagingly in this book, as justified by our Judeo-Christian inheritance, a main pillar of Western civilization. Kopel, who is a civil rights attorney and a constitutional law professor, not a moral philosopher (much less a moralist), has achieved what myriad other experts have tried to do but have failed because of preconceived notions, biases, and selective interpretation of Biblical passages and historical events, as well as political immersion while engaging in theological obscurantism. Fortunately, this is not the case with Kopel’s more tolerant approach and research that lead to the attainment of truth.Â
Rewriting The Second Amendment Continues
From The Federalist:
Just like every other aspect of the American Founding, the ratification of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is rooted in nothing more than white supremacy. Or at least, that’s what scholar Carol Anderson wants you to believe.
In her latest book, “The Second: Race and Guns in a Fatally Unequal America,†Anderson argues that the “well regulated Militia†inscribed in the Second Amendment was created to provide states with a mechanism to quell potential slave uprisings.
Gun Buybacks Don’t Reduce Crime
From FEE:
“Researchers who have evaluated gun control strategies say buybacks—despite their popularity—are among the least effective ways to reduce gun violence,†USA Today reported back in 2013.
A newly released academic study reinforces the claim that gun buybacks don’t reduce gun violence.
A Soviet Perspective On The Current Censorship Climate
From Aero Magazine:
The liberal media establishment went full Pravda on some of the crucial stories of the year, such as electoral politics, the handling of the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter protests—to the point where David Satter and Matt Taibbi, long-time observers of the Soviet Union, drew parallels with that country’s ideologically captured, propagandistic press.
CNN On The Changing Politics Of Guns
From CNN:
Several studies show most women, LGBTQ and Asian Americans, and an overwhelming majority of Black Americans, tend to vote for Democrats. Women and Black Americans were also the driving forces behind a 40% surge in first-time gun buyers through the first four months of 2020, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a firearms trade group that tracks and analyzes gun sales across the country.NSSF spokesman Mark Oliva said his organization believes many of those first-time gun buyers are Democratic voters.
