Independence Day this year is surrounded by grave challenges to that very independence.<\/p>\n
California\u2019s Governor Brown has just signed some truly grim new gun restrictions into law<\/a>.<\/p>\n The most anti-gun Presidential candidate in our nation\u2019s history is now leading in most polls.<\/p>\n The current national push for \u201cno fly\/no buy\u201d comes at a time when certain politicians and pundits are simultaneously using \u201cNRA\u201d and \u201cterrorists\u201d in the same sentence.\u00a0 The due process concerns in the proposed legislation seem irrelevant to many on the left, but thankfully, not to all. When a piece of legislation is opposed by the NRA, and the<\/em> ACLU<\/a>, and <\/em><\/strong>the New York Times<\/a>, <\/em>it is nature\u2019s way of saying that the bill in question needs to die.<\/p>\n Speaking of terrorists, America\u2019s Independence Day is a symbolic time for ISIS and others who hate our country; probably an especially good day to stay away from the hunting preserves full of helpless victims known as \u201cgun-free zones.\u201d<\/p>\n Have a great Fourth. Celebrate responsibly.\u00a0 It\u2019s the 240th<\/sup> anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, so I think it will be appropriate for me to send some 240 grain .44 Magnum rounds downrange. After all, responsible gunfire is the very sound of freedom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Independence Day this year is surrounded by grave challenges to that very independence.
