ON THE FOURTH

Independence Day this year is surrounded by grave challenges to that very independence.

California’s Governor Brown has just signed some truly grim new gun restrictions into law.

The most anti-gun Presidential candidate in our nation’s history is now leading in most polls.

The current national push for “no fly/no buy” comes at a time when certain politicians and pundits are simultaneously using “NRA” and “terrorists” in the same sentence.  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 ACLU, and the New York Times, it is nature’s way of saying that the bill in question needs to die.

Speaking of terrorists, America’s 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 “gun-free zones.”

Have a great Fourth. Celebrate responsibly.  It’s the 240th 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.
