Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey signed a bill yesterday evening that makes her state the 22nd one in the country to guarantee the constitutional right of citizens to keep and bear arms without a permit. Alabama House Bill 272, which goes into effect in January 2023, ensures that law-abiding Alabamians are able to exercise their right to carry firearms without having to wade through the administrative red tape that comes with the requirements of having a permit. The House passed the bill with a roll call vote of 65 Y to 37 N last month, and then sent it to the Senate where…

Several Members of Congress – including Senator Marco Rubio – found themselves in hot water over the weekend for tweeting out screenshots of a Zoom call brokered by Ukraine’s Ambassador to the U.S Oksana Markarova between Members and Ukraine’s President Zelenskyy. https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1500120431382175750 Marco Rubio came under fire for tweeting out a photo of the meeting, even though members on the call were explicitly asked not to publish such photos. This request was probably made for Zelenskyy’s safety as he has allegedly faced multiple assassination attempts in recent days. However, it should be noted that other Members from both parties and…

As of yesterday afternoon, Georgia is one step closer to being added to the list of states that have constitutional carry.

As conflict engulfs much of Ukraine, Elon Musk stepped forward this week to answer a call for help from one of the nation’s top officials. For many months, Vladimir Putin’s troops have been amassing in ever-growing numbers, across much of the Ukrainian-Russian border. As talks between the nations broke down and became ever tense, it seemed almost inevitable that something had to give. On Feb. 24, that inevitably became a reality when just after 5 a.m. local time, Russian forces began their advances across Ukraine’s borders. In the following days, once-promising peace talks would be reduced to fighting in the…

Republican Representative Chip Roy (R-Texas) introduced legislation on Wednesday to further curb the power that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has to restrict the Second Amendment rights of the American people. Rep. Roy’s bill aims to roll back a provision within the National Firearms Act (NFA) which serves as a loophole to restrict certain types of firearms, classed as “any other weapon” or an AOW by the ATF. Current law defines an AOW as: “Any weapon or device capable of being concealed on the person from which a shot can be discharged through the energy of…

Beto O’Rourke knows that the rhetoric used to cater to national Democrat interests in his two most recent campaigns has no place in his home state of Texas.  The former congressman and failed Senate and presidential candidate is singing a different tune now that he has little to gain from catering to leftist special interests. O’Rourke is currently running in the Democrat primary for governor in his home state of Texas. At a recent campaign event, he flip-flopped on previous statements he has made regarding the Second Amendment. While campaigning in Tyler, Texas, this week, O’Rourke told reporters:  “I’m not…

The Virginia State Senate passed two bills on Wednesday that are set to give parents more control over public schools across the Commonwealth. First, the issue of mandatory mask wearing in schools is another step closer to being in our rear-view mirror with the passage of Senate Bill 739, which passed with a vote of 21 Y to 17 N. After the Senate took their steps in passing the bill, Virginia House Speaker Todd Gilbert chimed in on the issue, signaling that he is ready to usher this legislation through his chamber. “Kids can’t wait any longer. The science finally…

Several Democrat members of the Virginia State Senate decided that they did not want to be on the wrong side of history, and sided with their Republican colleagues in favor of ending the mask mandate in public schools, finally letting parents make choices that they feel are in the best interest of their children. Although Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order ending mask mandates in schools on his first day in office, the order has faced rejection from several school districts across the state, particularly in Northern Virginia. Seven school divisions (Alexandria, Arlington, Falls Church, Fairfax County, Prince…

When contemporary politicians fail, the Second Amendment is still here to allow Americans to take the matter of defending their life, liberty and property into their own hands. California jewelry store owner Usman Bhatti was recently able to defend both his life and his property during a close call on a would-be smash-and-grab attempt. The attempted robbers ran into his store and one shattered a jewelry case with a crowbar before Usman sprung into action, pushing one of the assailants.  Bhatti then stepped back and aimed his handgun on the primary attacker. The man then turned to Bhatti and raised…
