A little bit about the logo

Thought I might take a minute to tell you a little bit about our logo. If you’re a student of the Constitution, then you’ve probably already got some idea of what it stands for, but I’ll go through the elements. Crossed quill and pistol These symbolize the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution. I

So when you say “well-regulated”…

“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.” – Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution Over the last 100 years, many debates have raged over the true meaning of the Second Amendment. While nearly impossible to

Moral failings and big government

When the Constitution was ratified, government was exceptionally small. The military was practically non-existent, taxes were minimal (and still highly resisted), there were no social programs, and while we certainly had national debt, it wasn’t anywhere near what it is today.

Background checks for ammunition?

By now, you’ve probably seen a letter sent by a cabal of Attorneys-General, asking Congress to impose background checks on ammunition sales. If you haven’t, you can read it here.
