It is a fundamental necessity that the American people keep and bear arms. And bearing arms means carrying a firearm with you wherever you go. America’s most recent mass shooting serves as another exclamation point behind that statement.

After every high profile crime committed with a firearm of any sort, there are always calls for gun control. But one particular proposal this week managed to distinguish itself amid the usual din, if only for its audacity and what it reveals about the mindset of people who wish to …

Suffice to say that the Washington Post editorial board shamed itself not only with its opportunistic exploitation of tragedy to promote a political agenda, but by doing so with false, incomplete, and misleading information.

America was made great with the help of good guns and better men.

Don’t let some whippersnapper who talks a good game but doesn’t know his head from a hole in the ground get other empty-headed thinkers to make a decision that could cost us our freedom.

The danger facing gun owners is very real. Without a historic effort from pro-gun voters, gun control will be on agendas throughout the country come January. But the threat doesn’t come from a grassroots movement, it comes from a cadre of wealthy elites who are intent on eliminating your fundamental rights.

Steel cartridge case use in handguns (as well as long guns) has been the source of controversy since their inception.

If you want to keep the freedoms you have, then you must exercise them. More people, including you, should be carrying a gun more often. The more people exercising their right to carry a gun, the more it will help prevent our 2nd Amendment right from being infringed on.

If they can make the Second Amendment too burdensome,  they calculate that the large voting bloc of law-abiding gun owners will shrink. That would then allow them to further restrict Americans’ right to bear arms.

The GCA is a child of the New Deal and Great Society mindset that places the government as an omnipotent administrator of human affairs. A paradigm shift in ideas is needed to break free from this top-down vision of society. Until then, gun lobbies face an uphill battle.
