Being a die-hard fan of Colt 1911s as well as an owner of a Colt 1911 Combat Commander, I like many Colt owners have a pretty harsh attitude when it comes to other 1911s. It's either a Colt or it's not a 1911.

The best and worst thing about social media is that others can and do respond to whatever we postand they can do it in anonymity. This is something Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and the backer and funder of just about every gun-control ploy known in modern politics, learned again on Dec. 16 when he tweeted: 21 students are shot every daybecause of Trumps unwillingness to act. Between protecting the NRA and our children, hes made his choice. Which is why we need to beat him.

The last time winter bore down on Virginia, Gov. Ralph Northam was living in the shadows and had few vocal allies. His party was about to have a shot at rising from the minority, and he was on the sidelines. As Northam dives back into the season of legislating and ice, his political reality couldnt be more starkly different. His power is heightened, and his confidence appears renewed.

Virginia Attorney General Mark R. Herring issued an opinion Friday that there is no legal weight to the "Second Amendment sanctuary" resolutions being passed in localities around the state in reaction to potential new gun-control laws.

If the General Assembly passes new gun restrictions, they will be enforced, and they will be followed, Herring (D) said in announcing the opinion. These resolutions have no legal force, and theyre just part of an effort by the gun lobby to stoke fear.

Donald Trump has appointed 50 appeals court judges in just three years.
