Earlier this week I read the 71-page decision of Judge Roger Benitez, a Federal trial court judge, in holding (FOR THE SECOND TIME) that California’s standard-capacity magazine violates the Second Amendment.

This morning, prestigious Law Professor Jonathan Turley published a post on his blog about this event. Although in my experience Professor Turley generally produces world-class legal content–as his

Earlier this week a video was brought to my attention of two young men having an argument in a parking lot, with one of them ultimately gunning the other down. As I viewed the video on my phone it appeared to me likely that the shooter had simply murdered the other man. A day or

A family spending July 4th on their porch is suddenly subject to a fireworks attack from a passing pickup truck. In response, they fire shots at the truck as it flees the scene.
