Noting that “gun rights [are] on the chopping block as early as next week,” GOA is asking supporters to “Urge your senators, especially if they are Republicans, to OPPOSE the Loretta Lynch nomination at every step. And circulate this alert to your pro-gun family and friends as well.” [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report also contains today's Five-Minute Activism project.

We All Agree?

We all agree, of course, that to the extent it’s feasible to do so society should deny bad people access to firearms. (As a practical matter, of course, the feasibility of enforcing such constraints is zero, at least against any bad actor who seriously wishes to obtain possession of a gun, but that’s fodder for another day.)

Also, totally unrelated, but Mike reminds us of another important anniversary.
