    Federal prosecutors on Tuesday slapped three men with carjacking charges, saying they took a man’s car at gunpoint from a Far South Side gas station. Two of the men are accused of trying to carjack another driver but they couldn’t figure out how to operate the victim’s vehicle. Long time readers will remember we advocated for a version of Operation Exile here in Illinois, where gun offenders were essentially "exiled" to federal prisons far away from their families and gang compatriots in the state penitentiaries. In Virginia, where it was pioneered, gun crimes dropped by over a third within months...

    The Biden-Harris administration used social media on Wednesday to renew the push to ban AR-15s and similar rifles. The White House posted to X: President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris have consistently pushed a ban against America’s most popular rifle–the AR-15–throughout the tenure of their administration. Moreover, Harris, as the Democrat presidential candidate, has continued to push the ban as part of her campaign. Her running mate, Democrat Tim Walz, also supports the gun control.
  • 13 big lies in Kamala Harris' 'closing argument' in Washington

    Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a long list of old lies in her “closing argument” speech in Washington, DC, on Tuesday night, defying fact-checkers and repeating false claims that had already been debunked during the campaign. Here are the most egregious of Harris’s false claims: 1. Then-President Donald Trump “sent an armed mob to the United States Capitol to overturn the will of the people.” Trump did not send a “mob”; he told his supporters to march “peacefully and patriotically” to the Capitol. Rioters were already there — but they were not “armed” with guns. Only five rioters were ultimately...

    [Written in 2002. Events like this could happen in 2025 if President Harris carries out her threats to ban semi-automatic weapons by executive decree.] “I need to get gas,” Brad told her, and he pulled over onto the exit lane for Hoffler Boulevard. The exit ramp cut through a break in the wall of pines alongside the highway, then curved off out of sight to the right and sloped gently downward. “Oh crap, what’s this?” he said, braking quickly. Ranya bolted upright and buckled her seatbelt. There was a police cruiser on the side of the ramp just beyond the...

    On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNBC’s “Squawk Box,” New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) said that he thinks it’s sensible for 2024 Democratic presidential candidate Vice President Kamala Harris to argue for “fairer tax rates” but “I don’t know what the right number is” for what would be a fair tax rate. Co-host Joe Kernen asked, “So, Governor, just, if we went on a checklist, you like all the things that — you like Kamala Harris, not just against. So, what are — let me ask you, do you believe we should abolish the filibuster? … How about getting rid of...

At the 2024 Gun Rights Policy Conference in San Diego, Mark Smith was giving away copies of his latest book, Israel Disarmed: What the October 7 attack teaches Americans about the right to bear arms.The book exceeded my expectations. Mark is a Constitutional Scholar and a member of the United States Supreme Court bar. I expected a scholarly work and was not disappointed. I was pleasantly surprised to find a page-turning and exciting prologue...

    When you engage on the Internet, there are always people who do not want to do things, are unwilling to engage, and think they can hide from the government. They say they do not want to (pick your action), get a carry permit, sign a petition, purchase ammunition from a store, join a state or local action group, buy a gun from a dealer, or others because: They Do Not Want to Be on a List.The problem with this is: 99.9% of us are on multiple lists, whether we want to be or not.There are a few people who do...

    In the weeks and months before Louisiana's Constitutional Carry law took effect on July 4th, critics proclaimed the new law would wreak havoc on the state; particularly in New Orleans, where officials tried to turn most of the French Quarter and downtown business district into a semi-gun-free zone where concealed carry licenses would still be required for folks to lawfully carry. Those plans haven't panned out, and for now, visitors and residents are still free to carry a concealed firearm without a state-issued permit, so long as they're legally allowed to own one. So has the new law led to...

    You can influence the Supreme Court of the United States, and it is easier to do than you might think. The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has become the linchpin for preserving the Constitution of the United States of America.Over the last 70 years, SCOTUS has been used to radically change the United States’ legal structure. Progressive justices, both Democratic and Republican, have used the power of the court to accomplish things that could never have been passed through Congress. This was one of the methods Progressives considered as ways to “get around” the limits on government power...

    Authorities in Onslow County, North Carolina have cleared a woman of any potential charges after she shot and killed her ex-boyfriend as he was attempting to break into her home while she and her two children were inside, ruling her actions a justified act of self-defense. According to officials, 28-year-old Colton Bush had an active Domestic Violence Protective Order that prohibited him from having any contact with the woman, but on the evening of Sunday, October 8th he called his ex more than two dozen times while sending her dozens of text messages as well. The messages stopped shortly after...

    If you didn't see this headline coming a mile away, you weren't paying attention. We all know Kamala Harris is running a center-left campaign in order to win. No one wants a president who will confiscate guns, outlaw gas-powered cars, and ban your stove while using the DOJ to silence any Americans who disagree with her. But here's The Hill, saying the quiet part out loud: No. Duh. They write: Democratic lawmakers are giving Vice President Harris a pass on her policy flip-flops and efforts to tack toward the political center, confident she’s still a progressive at heart and will...

WBBM reported that the incident occurred around 5:20 a.m. and that the 47-year-old concealed permit holder was sitting in his vehicle when a group of alleged carjackers attacked. The alleged carjackers sprayed the concealed permit holder with an unknown type of “chemical agent,” which prompted the permit holder to open fire.
