Taxpayer-Funded Advocacy
They say tigers don’t change their stripes. The same may be true for public health officials.

Doctor Mark Rosenberg told …

ACLU “Waging War On Bill Of Rights” & Self-Defense By Declaring Second Amendment “Racist”
For years, the American Civil Liberties Union, ACLU, has chosen to stand against those who would attack our Constitutional rights. Even the Free Thought Project has been supported by the organization when a California sheriff attempted to force us to delete an article that was damning to his organization. Over …
Beretta 92FS: The Civilian Version of The M9 Service Pistol
The U.S. military’s announcement it was going to soon retire the venerable M1911 as its official sidearm in the 1980s proved to be a polarizing one among firearm enthusiasts.

Early American Militias: The Forgotten History of Freedmen Militias from 1776 until the Civil War
The United States militia is enshrined in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. And while the militia movement of today is widely known, its history – and the history of independent Constitutional militias stretching back to the dawn of the republic – is far less well known. Why does this matter nowadays? Because …
The Second Amendment Isn’t Behind the Rising Crime Rate
In a tumultuous 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic locked down so much of America and the world, one thing that didn’t lock down was the murder rate. According to the National Commission of COVID-19 and Criminal Justice, which was launched by the left-leaning Council on Criminal Justice, murders across America …
Everything Comes Back to Gun Control
Gun control organizations have a long history of pandering to advance their objectives. This is only necessary because the American people have an even longer history of rejecting gun control.
