Capitalists For Fascism
From Daily Reckoning:

How You Can Combat “Gun Violence”
From The Federalist:
The obvious political response to this deliberate cultural and social destruction is to vote Republican, warts and all. Parents and working families of all races are indeed fleeing the Democratic Party, which has been captured by leftist ideologues.
The next practical personal response to rising crime and cultural disintegration is to prepare to protect yourself, your family, and your community.

Academic Law Paper on the Essentialness of the Second Amendment
From Josh Blackman:
Constitutional litigation over the Second Amendment has followed a familiar pattern. In the decade since Heller and McDonald, countless cases have turned on a foundational question: how much danger does the weapon pose? But in 2020, the courts were suddenly presented with a novel constitutional question: how much danger does obtaining the weapon pose? During the COVID-19 pandemic, state and local governments enacted complete prohibitions on the acquisition of firearms. Willing buyers were ready to comply with all extant gun-control regulations. But these governments shuttered firearm stores completely. These policies were adopted not to stop the sale of guns but to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus. In short order, these governments deemed the Second Amendment as “non-essential.”

From American Greatness:
But an anti-lockdown protest in April 2020, which involved “Thor†and presumably other FBI assets, draws even more comparisons to January 6.
