A recent robbery turned murder potentially illustrates the importance of...

Nov 26, 2021 – The busiest shopping season of the year is upon us. Whether or not you've decided to head on out on Black Friday for some deals, we truly are dealing with a lot of consumerism from Thanksgiving to Boxing Day. Many have opted to do most of their shopping online for...

Nov 26, 2021 – The Federal prohibitions on who may or may not purchase/possess a firearm are a subject of debate with many. On one side of the aisle we're told that too many violent people are still able to get access to firearms. The other side might be saying "shall not be infringed"...

Nov 24, 2021 – Last month Representative Madeleine Dean [D-PA-4] and Senator Ed Markey [D-MA] introduced bills on preventing so-called gun violence.

Nov 22, 2021 – The Aloha State is back again. In this edition we're going to be discussing the electronic weapons ban that was overturned, but more specifically whether or not "carry" is allowed. Spoiler alert, carry is allowed (so "they" say), but if you're looking for some clarification on that in some sort...

Nov 22, 2021 – If you're reading this, the name Dick Heller should be in your memory bank. If you don't quite know who Dick Heller is, to bring you up to speed, he's the lead plaintiff from the 2008 challenge to Washington, DC's ban on handguns. When people talk about "The Heller" decision,...

Nov 21, 2021 – Social media and the internet used to be a pure distillation of un-throttled freedom and expression. The First Amendment was king and things were mysterious.

Dec 5, 2021 – Rights restoration and disqualifiers are two subjects often explored. When we get right down to it, and the "shall not be infringed" crowd does have it right, where in our Bill of Rights does it say "reasonable" regulation's allowed? Even some of your more right leaning near libertarians might say...

Dec 5, 2021 – I don't have much pity for the woke mob that's having to deal with the mental turmoil of both the notions that self-defense is allowed in the United States and that the government can't really restrict people's right to keep and bear arms. Just submit. Isn't that what the anti-freedom...

Dec 4, 2021 – One of the things Black Friday is known for is all the sales, though this year the "low, low prices" didn't translate into big numbers. In fact, retailers overall reported a slight decline compared to last year's sales figures. But the firearm industry is bucking the trend. The National Shooting...

Dec 4, 2021 – JUSTICE KAGAN: -- because -- because that's open for -- you know, anybody can walk around  the NYU campus. MR. CLEMENT: Well, NYU doesn't have much of a campus. (Laughter.)

Dec 3, 2021 – The background to background checks, known as NICS checks goes back to the 90's. When the federal system was implemented, a couple of caveats popped up in the provisions of the law. One of the things that was allowed to stay in place was a state's ability to handle the...

Dec 2, 2021 – Footage of flash-mob style looting events has been going viral. You don't have to look very far on social media to run into some video showing people destroying businesses as well as stripping the goods from those locations as if locusts descended upon the land. Normal, run of the mill...

Dec 2, 2021 – The New Jersey Education Association, the teacher’s union in New Jersey recently weighed in on the Rittenhouse verdict. I lightly covered some of that news the other week, but we're going to have to rehash that again. It seems that everyone had to weigh in on the fact that Rittenhouse...

Dec 1, 2021 – The spectrum of opinions on who may or may not be able to possess firearms is broad. One camp might say everyone has a right to arms, period. Another camp might say that no one should be able to have arms of any type, period. In between these diametrically opposite...

Nov 30, 2021 – Seeing a news story thumbnail that reads "Are current gun laws biased in favor of white people?" may make some giddy. I clicked. Oh yeah. I clicked that thumbnail like it was my job to click the ever-loving binary code outta it. Yes I did. Then I was greeted with...

Nov 30, 2021 – Reading a recent Yahoo! Finance piece entitled "A new reason to move: politics" by Rick Newman has me not completely disagreeing with him. However, I'll qualify that the situation's complicated. Newman attests that migration patterns in the United States are being tied more and more to partisan politics. He insinuates that the...

Nov 28, 2021 – The act of a "no-knock raid" is one that I personally don't really subscribe to. Sure, I understand there are some (limited) circumstances when a no-knock raid could be warranted or useful. However, I'm seeing more and more the carnage left behind when the G-men come busting into someone's home...

Nov 28, 2021 – I first read about an Oklahoma bill that's been introduced in a middle of the night forward from a contact. Kyle's Law is positioned to not only protect law abiding citizens, but it could also pave the way for a complete overhaul of our criminal justice system. Over at one...

Nov 27, 2021 – The gun control utopia of New Jersey can't keep itself out of our pages. It's real easy to point out their failures when there are so many. Take for example a recent case involving a dispute that resulted in an attempted murder charge. While all the details of the event...

Oct 11, 2023 – No doubt there’s been a frenzy of reporting on litigation since last year’s landmark opinion was given to us by the Supreme Court. Several things should have been already settled. Considering the grant, vacate, and remands that the high court issued in the wake of NYSRPA v. Bruen. Why are...
