In 2017 I wrote an article questioning the wisdom of depending on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to protect the Second Amendment (2A) and the rights of gun owners in America. Over time there seemed to be too many instances where SCOTUS declined to hear a 2A case or when they did, […]
Sometimes being a Second Amendment (2A) advocate in California can be discouraging. The seemingly endless string of new gun control laws, disinformation, and ever increasing infringement upon basic rights can, at times, make staying positive a challenge. Occasionally we forget that the 2A is alive and well throughout most of Free America and its only […]
San Diego County Gun Owners PAC was represented for the first time at 2nd Amendment Foundation's Gun Rights Policy Conference 2019 in Phoenix (#GRPC2019) A record crowd turned up to hear 91 of the top 2A fighters on, well, earth, speak.
Recently 2020 Democratic Presidential hopeful Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) announced his sweeping anti-Second Amendment proposal to be enacted should he become President. Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA), also a 2020 Democratic Presidential hopeful, recently announced her plans for gun confiscation should she win the White House. These senators are both products of states where the rights […]
Last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO) annual Second Amendment Celebration Dinner, the event affectionately known as Gun Prom. About 600 patriotic Americans attended the event in support of our Second Amendment. This is the fourth SDCGO annual dinner and the third that I’ve attended. It’s difficult […]
People often tell me they are leaving California and moving to “Free America”. They cite a host of reasons mostly related to the impact of our corrupt state government. For gun owners the obvious driving force is the State’s aggressive infringement on our second amendment (2A) rights. I understand this desire to escape but I […]
On Wednesday December 6, 2017 the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. Because of quisling Republicans and dishonest Democrats the opportunity for this to become law was missed. There was never any debate in the Senate and thus National Reciprocity never came to be. With the Democrats taking control […]
I recently read an article by Massad Ayoob regarding last week’s bar shooting in Thousand Oaks. Reports on the shooting indicate that there may have been as many as six off-duty law enforcement officers (LEO) present at the time of the shooting. Apparently none of the officers were armed. The reason the officers were unarmed […]
2018 will likely be a very good year for Americans in general and gun owners in particular. With a pro 2A Administration, House, and Senate (although just barely) it’s likely that we’ll see more good things than bad at the federal level. Add to this a growing pro 2A mood across the country and things […]
On Wednesday December 6, 2017 the U.S. House of Representatives passed the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017. This is great news for all Americans. It’s great news for those of us that choose to exercise our second amendment rights for our own protection and to protect those whom we love. It’s great news for […]
