<[link removed]>
Americans are flocking to gun stores because they know the only
reliable self-defense during a crisis is the Second Amendment.

Dems trying to exploit the pandemic: Why do you want to leave people
like me defenseless?

Politifact Determined to Get It Wrong on Joe Biden and Gun
Confiscation
<[link removed]>
Another week, another dubious "fact-check" from the professional
propagandists at Politifact. This time the Poynter Institute project
labeled a claim that Joe Biden has admitted to supporting gun
confiscation as "Pants on Fire," their most extreme rating for a
supposed falsehood. In their herculean effort to obscure Biden's
support for gun confiscation, the media outlet went out of its way to
avoid discussion of the overwhelming evidence of the presidential
candidate's intent to take guns.

The 2A is a Constant in Times of Crisis
<[link removed]>
Concerns for personal safety, new limitations on the arrests of
criminals in some cities, and potential gun control enacted under the
guise of fighting the pandemic have Americans preparing to take
responsibility for their own safety. Sales of firearms and ammunition
have surged across the country, even in the most ardently anti-gun
states.

Pandemic Engenders Appreciation for Second Amendment Rights
<[link removed]>
As the Wuhan virus pandemic grips the U.S., Americans have been forced
to focus on what is truly important. This includes ensuring that they
and their loved ones have enough food to eat, the proper hygiene
supplies to ward off infection, and adequate shelter. Further, a
diverse and growing number of Americans have sought to exercise their
Second Amendment right to self-defense and acquire the means to
provide for the safety of themselves, their loved ones, and their
communities during this period of uncertainty.

Cities Seek to Close Gun Stores, Claim Exercise of Second Amendment
Rights “Non-Essential”
<[link removed]>
In San Jose, California, police have ordered a gun shop to close.
Local officials insisted it is a “nonessential” business and
therefore may not operate during the “shelter in place” directive
currently affecting the area. Philadelphia officials are now making
similar claims, even as buyers flock to local gun sellers. But make no
mistake: the “essential” character of the right to keep and bear
arms was settled in 1791, and no public official has the authority to
revisit that decision.

Is New Orleans on a Path to Repeat the Errors of Katrina?
<[link removed]>
In reality, we are all too frequently reminded of philosopher George
Santayana’s famous statement; “Those who cannot remember the past
are condemned to repeat it.” Is that what we are beginning to see in
New Orleans?

“Unnerving” Concealed Carry Licensees in DC Surprise No One –
Crime by Licensees is “Very, Very Low”
<[link removed]>
In 2017, arguing in defense of a since-invalidated concealed carry
licensing regime, politicians for the District of Columbia alleged
that “any increase in handgun carrying in the District’s densely
populated public areas would increase the risk of criminal violence
and public harm,” and that, “under a less restrictive regime,
residents would likely suffer from ‘substantially higher rates of
aggravated assault, rape, robbery and murder’...”

Los Angeles Sheriff Works to Empty Jails While Disparaging Second
Amendment Rights
<[link removed]>
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has an unorthodox plan for
ensuring public safety during the COVID-19 pandemic: free imprisoned
inmates, look the other way on crime, and try to suppress law-abiding
citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights.
