The Democrat Party and Gun Control: Welcome to the Awakening, Comrades

Since the 2024 election, the Democrat Party has transformed into a rudderless ghost ship, drifting in circles with no captain, no map, and definitely no clue. Picture the political version of the Lost Dutchman, except the crew is made up of virtue-signaling ideologues who just discovered that criminals don’t care about gun control. For years, they’ve preached that guns are the root of all evil. They pushed every law imaginable to make it harder for regular Americans to own firearms, all while living in gated communities and hiring private security. Guns were for the “uneducated,” they said, for the “paranoid,” for “Trump voters.” Now? They’re racing to gun stores like panicked shoppers at a fire sale. In deep blue states, these same liberals are suddenly discovering what a bureaucratic nightmare it actually is to buy a gun. They can’t believe they can’t just walk in, flash their ID, and walk out with a shiny new Sig Sauer. Welcome to the tangled mess of gun laws you cheered for. Wai...

The Supreme Court Cannot Rewrite the Bill of Rights to Please Knee Jerk Idealists.

Let’s be absolutely clear: the Supreme Court does not have the authority to update, reinvent, or distort the Constitution to fit modern political fads. The Bill of Rights is not a set of vague suggestions or outdated guidelines—it is a line in the sand that government may not cross. It exists to restrain the state, not to accommodate it. And no matter how much the media, politicians, or judges wring their hands, the meaning of our rights does not change with the times. Take the Second Amendment. Critics scream that we no longer “need” guns because we have police departments and standing armies. They insist that modern firearms are too deadly, too advanced, too dangerous. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: there has not been a significant leap in small arms lethality in over a century. The Gatling gun appeared in 1862. The Maxim gun—fully automatic—was invented in 1884. By the time your great-grandfather was born, weapons capable of mass fire already existed. The Founding Fathers wer...

Gun Control’s Relentless March Hits a Major Roadblock

Pete shields handgun control inc The battle over gun control has reached a defining moment, and the tide is turning. Let me start by invoking the uncompromising words of the Second Amendment to the United States Constitution: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.” Despite the blatant clarity of this statement, countless politicians have tried to twist its meaning to suit their own agendas. They’ve claimed that the term “militia” refers solely to government-sanctioned groups, conveniently ignoring the fact that official militias have always had access to arms. The Founding Fathers intended this right to apply to ordinary citizens – you and your neighbors – as the ultimate safeguard against tyranny. No matter how fervently gun control advocates muddy the waters, the Second Amendment remains an individual right, vital to the preservation of liberty. The Truth About Gun Control A...

The Second Amendment: Gun Control for Dummies.

  The Second Amendment is not merely a line of text in the Constitution; it is the battle cry of a free people—a shield against the dark inevitability of government overreach. It is the ultimate safeguard of liberty, and without it, freedom will crumble. Today, as political elites and authoritarian forces conspire to strip Americans of this fundamental right, we stand on the precipice of a defining moment in history. In 1791, the Founding Fathers—fresh from the blood-soaked battlefields of revolution—crafted the Bill of Rights as an unyielding defense of human liberty. The order of these rights was deliberate. The Second Amendment, following the First’s guarantee of speech and assembly, stands as a declaration of power: the people, not the government, hold the ultimate authority in this republic. A Warning to Tyrants The Second Amendment was not written to protect hunters or sportsmen. It was forged in the fires of rebellion, designed to ensure that no government—foreign or d...

What’s Ahead for Gun Laws in America? The Simple Truth.

The direction of gun laws in America is clear, thanks to a conservative U.S. Supreme Court, a Republican-controlled Senate, and the Trump presidency. Here’s what we can expect in the near future: The End of Assault Weapon and Magazine Capacity Bans By summer, expect bans on so-called “assault weapons” and magazine capacity limits to be struck down permanently. These regulations are on the chopping block due to both executive action and court rulings. President Trump is expected to dismantle many firearm regulations imposed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). The reasoning is simple: only Congress has the authority to legislate on firearms—unelected bureaucrats cannot. Nationwide Concealed Carry Currently, more than half the states allow law-abiding citizens without felony convictions or mental health issues to carry firearms without a permit. In other states, permits are required but must be issued to qualifying individuals. Within the next two y...

The Current Status of Gun Control in America

Washington, DC — In June 2022, the United States Supreme Court ruled 6-3 in the landmark case of New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen.  The Bruen decision struck down most, if not all, laws that restricted the carrying of concealed weapons in New York State. Additionally, several other gun-related cases that were previously decided contrary to the Second Amendment by various federal circuit courts of appeals are now being reconsidered. These cases involve issues such as so-called assault weapons, magazine capacity limits, waiting periods, age requirements for gun ownership, non-violent felons in possession of firearms, and other related matters. The Supreme Court granted certiorari, vacated the previous opinions of the courts of appeals, and remanded the cases back to the lower courts for decisions consistent with the 135-page Bruen ruling. This process has been ongoing for the past two years, and these cases are expected to resurface as the Supreme Court reconv...

The Risks of Open Carry for Handguns: Why Concealment is Wiser.

Phoenix, AZ— For many decades, Arizona only permitted the open carry of firearms, reserving concealed carry solely for sworn peace officers. However, open carry of handguns, in particular, is fraught with risks and is more likely to lead to a breach of peace than firearms carried discreetly. When you openly carry a handgun, you are more likely to encounter unstable individuals who might confront, complain, or even attempt to disarm you. But there’s an even more alarming scenario: imagine someone sees you with a gun, feels threatened, and falsely reports to the police that you pointed the weapon at them. The police respond to find you openly carrying a firearm, and there’s a so-called “victim” willing to lie under oath. In Arizona, aggravated assault laws, especially those involving gun-pointing, are severe, carrying a mandatory five-year prison sentence without parole. Even if you know you did nothing wrong, the trial may not go in your favor. The accuser could perjure themselves, and ...

America has fallen.

Washington, DC—Nothing is more sacred than our own lives and that of our loved ones.    Since the beginning of time, human beings have found it absolutely necessary that they obtain and have available weapons to ward off dangerous adversaries.    Then came the politicians and their police with false promises of public safety.   One certain thing about politicians is that power and control over others is what drives them.    Unfortunately, most humans have the traits of sheep. They would rather others make even their most personal decisions for them.   Americans were fortunate that a brilliant group of young men risked everything to form a new government in 1776.    They demanded that its people have liberty and freedom above all else.    As a result, we have a Bill of Rights that no other nation can enjoy.   To protect our freedoms, we were given the right to keep and bear arms.    Our founding fat...
