Today, the synagogues that believe in God, Jews are taking the prophet’s advice. “Do not fear them, remember the Great and Awesome God, fight for your brethren, for your sons and daughters, for your wives and your houses.” (Nehemiah 4:8)

There can be no sense of complacency, as gun control activists have been quietly building the infrastructure necessary to move with lightning speed whenever an exploitable tragedy presents itself. They will certainly be ready for any chance they can get, which means pro-gun Americans must remain equally ready to oppose them.

In talking with regular people in Europe, it’s clear there are many who envy our country for the freedoms so many of us take for granted. And if there is one thing they’d like us to take away from their experiences, it’s to never let so-called “progressive” incrementalism nibble away at those freedoms.

The results are still trickling in on Wednesday, but we’re getting a clearer picture of what we can expect when it comes to the next two years for gun laws in the United States.

The Marine veteran who murdered 12 people in California this week had PTSD and was likely prescribed medications tied to most mass shootings.

This doesn’t sound like the words of a Marine to me.  It sounds like the words of a gun confiscator activist.

You may not like the sound of that, but our forefathers bore with a lot until the violence came to their front door and when it did, they didn’t hesitate in dishing it back out.

As Democrats dance toward the 2020 presidential elections, it’ll be interesting to see if anyone can go further toward the anti-gun side than Newsom, who seeks to push the numerous restrictive gun laws that have so badly hurt the Second Amendment in California on the rest of the nation’s gun owners.

Even the best-trained, most-experienced operators get caught off guard. The best you can do is to limit your distractions to pay attention to what matters.

Should we find ourselves in the position of having to defend ourselves against a deadly attack, we can focus on the threat itself and—should it be necessary to do some shooting—we can deliver the goods without hesitation, fumbling or conscious focus on the mechanics of the particular defense gun that we carry. That’s the kind of confidence that wins fights and saves lives.
