An Open Letter: To The Kentucky General Assembly
Times are good right now for Kentucky gun owners. Our state laws offer strong protections for our right to keep and bear arms, and the recent sanctuary movement has seen 108 out of 120 counties voice support for the Second Amendment across the Commonwealth. We also enjoy Republican majorities in both houses of the General Assembly, making any bill proposing tighter gun restrictions essentially dead on arrival.
So It Begins
While it is tempting to view Speaker Pelosi ripping up her copy of the State of the Union address as the tantrum of a defeated child, I fear it is a sign of an even greater danger to come. Rather than signifying ultimate loss, her gesture may well signal a political left which now feels it has nothing left to lose.
"Get Some Training!"
How do you know she doesn’t have training?
Preaching To The Choir
I suppose an alternate title could be, “why do I do this?” Believe me, I have asked myself that question many times since beginning as a 2A blogger in 2012.

Closing The Barn Door
To utilize a common country saying, Virginians are attempting to “close the barn door after the cows have gotten out,” and there’s a lesson in it for the rest of us.
What Have You Done For Me Lately?
This is what Republican politicians do these days. They pander to pro-gun rights voters at election time, introduce doomed legislation when in the minority, and then fail to act to advance gun freedom when they are in power.
Warriors Disarmed
You would think that the idea of going and shooting up an American military base would be a real “mission impossible,” wouldn’t you? Anyone brazen enough to walk into a military base and start shooting would be met with withering return fire from America’s warriors, right?
New York State of Mind
This is what tyranny looks like.
I Ain't 'Fraid Of No Ghost
As it turns out, the Santa Clarita murderer used what the gun control lobby calls a “ghost gun.” They use this language, of course, to make it sound more scary than calling it what it actually is: a gun made from an unfinished receiver, which must be milled to completion, and assembled with parts.
