At a recent event, part of a series of “community

The social sciences thrive on making the uncomplicated complex and the actually complicated oversimplified. Rejecting all of human experience, social “scientists” concoct ever-more elaborate mental gymnastics to explain how soft-on-crime policies won’t harm efforts to keep crime in check. At the same time, other “researchers” claim to be able to tell you, down to the

Everyone knows that Joe Biden has one of the most serious polling problems in presidential history when it comes to his plummeting approval rating. Or, perhaps more appropriate, his skyrocketing disapproval rating. He has lost support from virtually every demographic imaginable, and on virtually every policy position, and many political prognosticators point to this precipitous

Last night, the Alabama Legislature adjourned sine die from its 2022 legislative session. During this historic session, the Legislature passed the NRA-backed House Bill 272, constitutional carry. Then, Governor Kay Ivey promptly signed it into law within hours. This was a hard won victory, as the Alabama Sheriffs Association (ASA), unsurprisingly, fought against it, and

This week, the Maine Senate voted “ought not to pass” on Legislative Document 1068, a gun confiscation measure that carried over from last year.  Thankfully, this measure is now dead and will not move forward this session. Legislative Document 1068 sought to create two new sections of Maine law, which outline the power of the court

Today, the California Legislature started their spring recess, which will continue through next week when they return for more policy hearings. This week, the California Legislature took the following actions on bills: Senate Appropriations Committee: Senate Bill 865, introduced by Senator Dodd, increases the maximum eligible age for a reduced-fee junior hunting license from 16, to

Today, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers disagreed with the state legislature and the law-abiding gun owners that they represent, by vetoing Assembly Bill 495 and Assembly Bill 518.  While expected, we are still disappointed in Governor Evers’ continued disregard for law-abiding citizens’ Second Amendment rights.
