Oregon voters passed a gun control ballot measure this month that many are now deriding as unconstitutional. Ballot Measure 114 narrowly passed earlier this month — with 51% of Oregon voters favoring the initiative and 49% voting against it. The measure in question contained several provisions, including limiting the number of rounds that can be carried in a magazine to 10 and also enacting a “permit-to-purchase system.” As reported in the NRA’s 1st Freedom last month: “With the implementation of a permit-to-purchase system, the process to lawfully acquire a firearm could take days, weeks, or more, as the government functionally…

A new scientific study reaffirms a fact that gun owners already know…

After the occurrence of a violent incident involving a firearm on the campus of the University of Virginia, President Biden again wasted no time politicizing a tragedy. Following the death of three University of Virginia Football players at the hand of one of their teammates on Monday night, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre issued a statement on behalf of the administration touting the radical gun control measures Biden signed into law earlier this year. “Earlier this year, President Biden signed the most significant gun safety law in nearly three decades, in addition to taking other historic actions. But…

As the final results from last week’s midterm election are announced, the margin by which the Republicans will flip the House of Representatives looks slimmer by the day. That means that the number of recorded flips this cycle is getting smaller, making districts like Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District that much more important to the national electoral results. The credit for the victory secured by Jen Kiggans last Tuesday lies not only with her campaign staff and a team of consultants who ran a very disciplined race but also with a number of outside groups that helped out the effort with both…

The state of Georgia will once again play host to a special election for a U.S. Senate seat — this time between incumbent Democrat U.S. Senator Raphael Warnock and his challenger, Hershel Walker. Since neither candidate managed to secure over 50% of the vote in last week’s election, a special election was automatically triggered due to Georgia’s election laws. That election will occur on December 6th, with early voting starting on November 28th, the Monday after Thanksgiving. After the highly anticipated red wave didn’t materialize last week, Republicans are desperately searching for a new leader to rally the party behind.…

The number of veterans serving in the United States Congress has steadily been declining for several decades since the Greatest Generation entered retirement age. There have been a number of groups across the political spectrum that have worked to remedy this issue in the past several electoral cycles. One such group is With Honor, which notes on its website that “debilitating partisanship in Washington is near a record high, while veteran representation in Congress is near a historic low.” Per the Brookings Institution, only 18% of members of Congress were veterans in 2019. In times of turmoil and uncertainty, Americans…

A key Virginia congressional seat has swung back into the Republican column. Incumbent Democrat Elaine Luria (VA-02) has been unseated after serving two terms in Congress by her Republican challenger, Virginia State Senator Jen Kiggans. https://twitter.com/iapolls2022/status/1590182229069934592?s=12 Luria tried to shed her voting record of being a lackey for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over the course of the past two years. Still, her service on the January 6th investigative committee showed that she was more focused on being a party hack than serving her constituency in the Hampton Roads. This story is developing.

One gun group is willing to take the fight for gun rights to deep blue areas, even in territories that are usually far from the most welcoming for gun owners. Here are a few cases the Second Amendment Foundation is engaged in from coast-to-coast. New York – Prohibition on Carrying Firearms in Houses of Worship Following this summer’s monumental Supreme Court case, NYSRPA v. Bruen, Democrat politicians in the State of New York were forced to revisit the restrictive policies of their state government that existed to keep law-abiding gun owners from exercising their constitutional rights. This was done in…

Republicans are widely projected to win control of both chambers of Congress tonight and end the control of the Democrat trifecta that has gripped Washington and drained the pockets of the American people for the past two years. The thing to look at after that though will be who truly holds the strings of power on Capitol Hill and, by extension, over the American people. The electorate as a whole has seemingly shifted away from supporting establishment politicians regardless of party – both Democrats and Republicans. Many insurgent, political outsider candidates who don’t always toe the party line won primaries…

Republican nominee for Virginia’s 2nd Congressional District Jen Kiggans recently spoke to supporters about why she is the right choice to flip the district back to Republican control and how she will better represent its constituents in Washington. Before Kiggans took the mic, she was introduced by two of Virginia’s first ladies — one current and one former. Suzanne, the wife of Governor Glenn Youngkin, and Susan, the wife of former Virginia Governor and United States Senator George Allen. Both touted Kiggans as the right candidate to represent the Hampton Roads region at the right time. Youngkin said that “Americans…
