My good friend Michael Hoffman recently wrote an outstanding thesis on the subject of the growing efforts of Democrats (and some Republicans) to push the anti-Second Amendment envelope as far as possible. I borrowed the title of Michael’s thesis for the title of this column. For instance, right now Tennessee Republican Governor …

California, the birthplace of banning semi-automatics they mislabel “assault weapons,” has long been considered a laboratory for oppressive and ineffective gun control.
