Among pre-Constitutional American flags is the First Navy Jack – the current national maritime flag and an official symbol of the United States government to this day. But it’s not just the “first” Navy Jack – it’s also the current Navy Jack. In fact, it’s been used several times throughout America’s history for our Navy, particularly during periods of nationalist and patriotic fervor. Where did the flag come from? And how did it become the current standard of the United States Navy? |

Agency rules must be scrutinized carefully by the courts for they have a tendency to override congressional legislation. The American public has historically given little thought to the relationship between Congressional legislation and Administrative action. That must change. The new ATF Rule makes clear that the public must become aware of the intricacies of Governmental action lest the American people lose their sacred fundamental rights and liberties. The American people should have learned long ago of the danger posed to a free Republic through the insinuation of so-called “elites” into the political process. What ensues is oft, appropriately referred to, as “the tyranny of experts.” |

A potentially significant Second Amendment battle is forming in Boulder, Colorado, where officials recently adopted a ban on a number of ordinary weapons. The ban effectively the president of the Denver-based, free-market think tank Independence Institute, a criminal, and he has declared he won’t comply. Meanwhile, the Mountain States Legal Foundation is suing the city for the ordinance, which requires owners to “certify” their “assault weapons,” as defined by the city. Otherwise, the weapons must be removed from the city or be destroyed.

Over the past year and a half, the #MeToo movement, with decades of anti-rape activism behind it, has elevated the public consciousness around sexual assault. Society’s most elite, powerful men in Hollywood, in business and in politics, are being called to account for their actions. Never before has sexual violence been discussed on such an expansive platform. Still, this reckoning has been relegated to the most prestigious, leaving the plight of everyday Americans and especially those most marginalized, out of the conversation. |

About 100 Americans die every day from gun violence. While deaths continue to rise, an endless debate pits “gun control” against “gun rights” advocates. As a primary care physician and epidemiologist, I think we’re having the wrong conversation. If we’re serious about saving lives, physicians need to promote gun safety literacy— an understanding of the risks and benefits of gun ownership and of what we, as a society, can and should do to make our communities safer.

A proposal by two Oregon lawmakers to require permits for all gunowners is generating buzz online and among Republicans at the Capitol, even before it’s scheduled to be introduced at the Legislature on Monday. It’s the brainchild of student activists connected to the movement that grew out of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida, where a shooter killed 17 people nearly a year ago, according to the bill. Sen. Rob Wagner, D-Tualatin, and Rep. Andrea Salinas, D-Lake Oswego, are sponsoring it. |

Switzerland-based Brugger & Thomet announced two new additions to its lineup of APC rifles through its Florida-based USA subsidiary, bringing .308-Win. caliber options to the U.S. market. The new APC308 guns build on the success of the company's initial lineup of APC223 rifles. Like its small-caliber cousins, the B&T APC308 operates on a short-stroke gas-piston operating system and features a locked, rotating bolt. One of the innovative elements inside the action is a shock-absorbing mechanism, which aims to reduce the felt recoil experienced by shooters. Rifles are also constructed with an aim toward improved ergonomics, as well as including ambidextrous controls.

Sen. Paul Scott and Rep. Jim Olsen co-authored a bill filed Thursday which would keep felons from being unfairly punished for riding in vehicles with drivers legally carrying a firearm. Senate Bill 46 aims to remove language prohibiting a convicted felon, person serving on probation or any person previously judged as a delinquent child or youthful offender in the commission of a felony crime if that person was an adult, from riding in a vehicle as a passenger with a firearm in the vehicle belonging to someone else.

I once had a colleague relate to me a story in which her home was burglarized, and she defended herself and family with her trusty six-shooter revolver. "If Smith doesn't get you, Wesson will," she would say. Smith & Wesson has long been an American household brand known for its high quality firearms. Having been around since the 1850s, everyone is familiar with its products, and its reputation for being a leading manufacturer of firearms is well-established. Having undergone several acquisitions and mergers, S&W is now under the umbrella of American Outdoor Brands Corporation (NASDAQ:AOBC). |
New Hampshire Legislators Eye Gun Control

Although gun bills are likely to be vetoed by Gov. Chris Sununu, New Hampshire Democrats are trying to ride the wave of supposed anti-gun sentiment. Before the session even opened, three gun control bills have been publicized. Two of those have already been drafted. One would allow individual school districts to designate campuses as gun-free zones. Saying guns are outlawed does nothing besides letting those with criminal intent know they will face little opposition by attacking there. State Sen. Martha Hennessey had attempted to introduce legislation last year after the Parkland, Fla., school shooting, but was unsuccessful in passing it.
