Wow, what a great job Tuesday in making a stand against SB 5395 Requiring Comprehensive Sexual Education.  Hundreds of pro-family, pro-child advocates were lined up before dawn at the Capitol, and the line only grew as time went on.  Eventually, so many of you made an effort to be there that multiple overflow rooms in two buildings had to be […]

“The NRA has long been a boogeyman for me.” A New York Times op/ed by Harvard history professor Tiya Miles has received some questionable praise and promotion from a few conservative commentators this week.

We need to have rules that for every ANTI-GUN (ANTI 2nd Amendment) ‘law’ that the politicians have to eliminate their armed security that protects them – personally and professionally.  As long as they maintain THEIR ARMED SECURITY and disarming the citizens – we no longer have a Constitution as they have taken our RIGHTS by legislation which is what this […]

This past Friday, the liberal progressive-led House of Representatives passed HR1, the “For the People Act,” the Democratic Party’s signature piece of legislation for 2019. It is the most sweeping, unwise, destructive and I believe anti-American election “reform bill” ever proposed in America. I had a hard time writing a Prayer Target about it earlier this week. From my perspective, […]

By Jonathan Easley and Alexis Simendinger The GOP-controlled Senate is poised to part company with Trump over his decision to bypass Congress by declaring an emergency at the southern border as a way to fund a wall.

By Harold Hutchison (AmmoLand.com)- In 1968, Second Amendment supporters nearly found themselves in a deep hole. By a slim margin, they were able to keep a licensing and registration scheme that Johnson wanted out of the Gun Control Act of 1968. This greatly angered Lyndon Johnson, who denounced the “gun lobby” for the omission of the means of eventual gun confiscation from that bill. But […]

The Constitution was adopted in a period of grave emergency. Its grants of power to the federal government and its limitations of the power of the States were determined in the light of emergency, […]
