    A United States District Court for the District of Colorado has issued a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the Town of Superior to prevent enforcement of their recent “assault weapon” and magazine ban, based on the Supreme Court ruling in NYSR&PA v. Bruen. This appears to be the first of many pending cases likely to knock down laws which infringe on the exercise of Second Amendment rights under the Bruen decision. The lawsuit was filed on July 7, 2022. The TRO was issued on July 22, 2022.Superior, Colorado, is a town of about 13 thousand located on highway 36 between...
  • Decoding the relentless demonization and dehumanization of Republicans by Democrats

    These utterances must be regarded as a preview of the future. Once a group of people has been branded evil and a threat to democracy, it presents an excuse to be stop them at any cost. There is little to gain from reading The New York Times and The Washington Post or watching MSNBC and CNN. The word ‘biased’ is insufficient to describe these outfits; instead, they must be regarded as a propaganda wing of the Democrat party. Their content reveals the mindset of the Democrats. They are so self-righteous that they unabashedly divulge what occupies their grey cells. This...

    Video and numbers from the gun turn-in event organized by the Dane County Sheriff’s office in Madison, Wisconsin, on August 13, 2022, have been released. The Orwellian term “buyback” was used, although the guns had never been owned by the police. You cannot “buyback” something you never owned. There is a video released by the Sheriff’s Office of the guns turned in, shown at NBC15.com.The haphazard and careless display of jumbled long guns makes identification most problematic. There appeared to be at least one M1 Carbine, one of the Lee Enfield Service rifles, and, likely, a Springfield 03 or 03A3...

    While they might not be the super records of years past, guns and overall firearms sales are still going through the roof. According to newly released FBI data, background checks exceeded 2.51 million in August, which was consistent with the previous two summers. However, Small Arms Analytics & Forecasting (SAAF) estimates August 2022 U.S. firearms unit sales were at about 1.4 million units, a year-over-year decrease of 3.8 percent relative to August 2021. The decrease affected the handgun segment (−2.7 percent) significantly less than it did the long-gun segment (−7.2 percent). SAAF’s firearms unit sales estimates and forecasts are based...

    The United States has far too many gun laws. There are laws about where you buy a gun, who can buy a gun, who can possess a gun, who can carry a gun, what kind of gun can be bought, shot, loaned, carried, or given, and where a gun may be possessed, purchased, shot or traded, what kind of ammunition can be sold, possessed, made, or shot, and where it can be at what times. There are laws about how big, small, old, or new, where a gun is or was made, and what it is made of.These laws have...

    ROCK HILL, S.C. (WBTV) - A gun was found in a student’s car at Rock Hill High School on Wednesday, the York County Sheriff’s Office said. This comes after two guns had already been found at schools within the district this academic year, with all three now being discovered within the past three days. Deputies searched the student’s vehicle after receiving a tip. The student was confronted and took off running. Deputies are still attempting to track down that student. ”We will be more proactive in addressing safety and security in all of our schools,” Rock Hill Schools district spokesperson...

    A North Carolina high school student was killed and another wounded in a knife attack Thursday morning, officials said. A “physical altercation” broke out at Northside High School in Jacksonville just after 7 a.m. that ended with two kids slashed or stabbed — and one teacher with minor injuries, cops said at a news conference. A student was arrested in the incident, but police haven’t disclosed charges and are continuing to investigate. Two student resource officers stationed at the school responded, with the first on the scene within 20 seconds, Jacksonville Public Safety Chief Mike Yaniero told reporters. The two...
  • John Lennon’s killer, Mark David Chapman, is up for parole

    The man convicted of killing John Lennon more than four decades ago is up for parole for a 12th time. Mark David Chapman, 67, pleaded guilty to shooting Lennon as the Beatles icon returned to his Manhattan apartment building in December 1980. He was first eligible for parole in 2000 — and has previously been denied release 11 times. Chapman — an inmate at the Wende Correctional Facility in upstate New York — was a 25-year-old religious fanatic when he traveled from Hawaii to New York City armed with a .38 Special handgun, 14 hours of Beatles recordings, and a...

    Higher education suffers from a multitude of flaws. University marketing departments habitually over-promise the benefits of their degree programs to unsuspecting high-school students. Mandatory “general education” classes extract sizable tuition fees from students while delivering little discernible benefit in knowledge or critical thinking skills. A student-debt crisis leaves college graduates in the financial hole for decades as they work to pay off degrees of arguably marginal value. An oversaturated job market plagues faculty ranks due to decades of self-serving professors pumping out graduate students with few job openings to employ them. The traditional classroom functions of the university exist in...

    American Greatness ^ | 8/30/2022 | Debra Heine
    Joe Biden made a bizarre and passive aggressive comment targeting “brave right-wing Americans” Tuesday, during an political rally in Pennsylvania touting his latest gun grab. The $37 billion Safer America Plan, unveiled in July, aims to fund police departments, and provides grants for cities to reduce violent crimes. The proposal also calls on Congress to pass additional gun restrictions. Rather than attack Republicans in Congress who might oppose the initiative, Biden mocked all conservative Americans who support the Second Amendment and believe that gun rights are necessary for self-defense and as a check against a tyrannical government. “And for those...

    New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) tweeted a list Wednesday showing exactly where law-abiding concealed carry permit holders are prohibited from being armed for self-defense. Breitbart News noted that one of the gun-free locations is Times Square, beginning Thursday. New York Democrats labeled Times Square a “sensitive” area in which the exercise of the Second Amendment is prohibited, even by concealed permit holders.

    New York City authorities are posting new signs declaring the iconic Times Square a "Gun Free Zone." This comes ahead of a new state law that takes effect on Thursday, which declares several places off limits for guns. Parks, churches and theaters have also been deemed "sensitive" places. The measure passed following a June Supreme Court decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen that expanded gun rights. It also sets strict standards for issuing concealed carry concealed carry permits.New York Gov. Kathy Hochul explained Friday that legislators acted quickly on the high court's ruling because it had "destroyed the ability for a...

    On July 12, 2022, the Northfield Township board voted unanimously (6-0) to grant a conditional use permit for a private gun range on Leaper’s ranch to be used for testing firearms optics. The range will be constructed five feet below ground level with a nine-foot berm on either side for most of the proposed 600-yard range. There will be intermediate ranges of 100 and 200 yards. About 300 to 500 shots a day are expected. On commenter at the hearing stated, “85 decibels will be allowed at this site”. The final occupancy permit for the site will require sound testing...

    While speaking in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday President Biden said, “The bullet out of an AR-15 travels five times as rapidly as a bullet shot out of any other gun.” Ironically, on June 30, 2022, Field & Stream did an in-depth look at the “Five Fastest Rifle Cartridges” and the two AR-15 rounds, .223 and 5.56, did not even make the cut.

    A lot of people are moving out of California. Over the last two years, California has lost about 300,000 people. Major companies, including Telsa, Oracle Corp, and HP have abandoned California for Texas. With high taxes, lots of regulations, high crime, poor schools, mishandling of the pandemic, and “woke” policies, it isn’t surprising that many people have been willing to give up the beautiful state and fantastic weather. Understandably, some are upset with that turn of events, but the billboards put up in Los Angeles and San Francisco are a cheap shot. They warn Californians about mass public shootings in...
