If there ever is a time in American history when the magnitude of the 2nd Amendment has been front and center - that time is NOW.

Violence has erupted across our nation, innocent people have lost their lives, fires rage and businesses have been looted. It’s more clear than ever that there are few things more important to the survival of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in the USA than the 2nd Amendment. Law enforcement has been hamstrung and marginalized.

There aren’t enough police to protect each of our homes, our property – and OUR LIVES.

We are on our own these days – which means we have to be our own first line of defense. From Santa Monica, to Portland, Scottsdale, to Dallas and Minneapolis – armed people are standing up to protect themselves. Read the multiple stories on this below.

WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO WAKE PEOPLE UP THAT THE ABILITY TO PROTECT OUR HOMES AND FAMILIES IS OUR RIGHT? Each story below is as compelling as it is frightening.
