Tomorrow, high-school students will partake in exercising one of the most important of the Bill of Rights, to assemble and petition their government, demanding that Congress pass a host of new gun control legislation in the wake of the school shooting in Parkland, Florida. The fact that they are exercising one constitutional right to seek infringement […]

Why banning bump stocks in Maine is a fraud

When far-left Democrats awoke the morning after Donald Trump’s election as the 45th President of the United States of America, many […]
