“America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.” ~ Abraham Lincoln

The constitutional republic once known as The United States of America was conquered long ago and very few people even noticed. The US of A today has devolved into a socialist democracy bent on self-destruction. Stop and think for a minute, when was the last time you heard a politician, media talking head or ANYONE in any “official capacity” refer to America or her form of government as a “constitutional republic?” On the other hand, I doubt any one of you could even begin to count the number of times you have heard it referred to as a “democracy.” Democracy, defending democracy, spreading democracy around the world, democracy, democracy, democracy… Do you know what our founders thought of democracy?

The Texas State Senate passed Senate Bill 17 (licensed open carry) and the Texas House is expected to do the same with House Bill 910 (their version of the same bill). Already there are those “usual suspects” bemoaning the passage of these bills and the cost and carnage that will ensue. As this proposed and probably soon to be open carry law is being both praised and denounced, it seems fitting that SOMEONE actually put it into perspective. First the facts! The Texas Open Carry Law is “licensed open carry” meaning that only those with a Texas Concealed Handgun License will be “allowed” to open carry. What will that look like in Texas? Nobody will even notice and here’s why…

CALL TO ACTION: WEST VIRGINIA Senate Bill 347 (Firearms Act of 2015), effectively makes West Virginia a “Constitutional Carry” state. It removes the permit requirement for concealed carry and mirrors …

If you are an American gun owner, you have heard that particular phrase before: It can’t happen here. It’s often deployed as a specious claim used to instill a false sense of security in lawful citizens prior some politician or gun-ban activist demanding some aspect of their liberty be surrendered.

However, while anti-gun elitists and their usefully-uninformed sycophants claim that gun confiscation “can’t happen here”, we must look no further than to the industrialized nations who, prior to the onslaught of political liberalism, were also bastions of lawful gun ownership.

In 1997 Britain made ownership of handguns completely illegal for lawful citizens. Considering the British government had required serial number registration of all legally (emphasis on LEGALLY) sold handguns since 1968, confiscation was nearly effortless. In fact, the British government simply demanded that Britons surrender their previously-legal arms obsequiously to the state, or face prison. The confiscation scheme was successful—with over 162,000 pistols and 1.4 million pounds of ammunition being surrendered by British gun owners on the disingenuous pretext of safety.¹

In order to answer that question, we must first define what it means to be “unarmed.” There has been substantial press over the last few years regarding police and other shootings of “unarmed” people, as if the only definition of UNARMED is “not having a gun.” So, can someone who does not have a gun, or even a knife or a club of some sort, still pose a threat of serious bodily harm or even death?

Dateline Madison Wisconsin, young black male, 19, shot and killed by police officer. The investigation has barely begun and the “Black Lives Matter” protests are already gearing up. The Madison Police Department does not investigate it’s own officer involved shootings, so the Department of Justice Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating the shooting. The name and race of the responding officer has not even been released yet, but a few basic early details have been released.
