"Our Nation’s Capitol doesn’t already place enough roadblocks in the way of the right to keep and bear arms, 'a D.C. Councilwoman has introduced legislation that could make the District the nation’s first jurisdiction to require gun owners to buy liability insurance.” Given that the freedom to own and carry the weapon of your choice is a natural, fundamental, and inalienable human, individual, civil and Constitutional right — subject neither to the democratic process nor to arguments grounded in social utility, I’m not sure an insurance requirement is really Constitutional. But just for the sake of argument, let’s say that it is. How are you going to figure the cost? Allow me . . ." ... |

"Ruh roh. Time to slam the door shut. Another horse has just exited the equine boarding facility. Reader Travis writes that, 'the 'Shuty', named after the 'Luty' submachine gun design, uses a reinforced, printed AR 15 lower and a Luty inspired upper, to make a 9mm semi-auto pistol. It is designed to use a Glock or similar barrel. They may also switch to a metal bolt. So it’s not fully printed, but still.' Seems the viral aspect of gun printing has, well, gone viral.

"Chicagoland Democrats, joined by a handful of downstate Democrats, are poised to give Illinois a modern-day Jim Crow law to keep law-abiding blacks and other minorities segregated from their ability to carry a firearm outside the home with the potential passage of Sen. Kwame Raoul’s Amendment 1 of HB-143 in the waning days of the spring legislative session."

Despite the ATT’s clear threats to our country’s sovereignty and Constitutional rights, the Obama administration appears ready to throw America’s official support behind it. This should not happen. As the leader of the free world, the United States has more at stake with the ATT’s entry into force than any other nation.'." ... |

TO REMEMBER |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
