For the Children
Under SB 554, any school district can vote to make their property an “active killer safe zone” by prohibiting law abiding people from being armed on school property during an attack. This mind numbingly stupid policy is being considered at the same time the politicians and public school establishment are doing their best to eliminate school resource officers. This policy is insane. [More]
True, but indoctrinating students with years of insanity resulted in the "progressive" Oregon of today and is the path forward to the totalitarian Oregon of tomorrow, so that's a small price to pay, wouldn't you agree?

Developing Ohio Senate Race Shows Gun Owners Must Demand Unequivocal Commitments from Politicians
Here's an idea that’s hardly ever been tried: What about a principled candidate who believes in the right of the people to keep and bear arms and understands why it is critical to freedom? How about someone not interested in “compromise” and who is committed to not just defending against new attacks, but in advancing gun owner entitlements (that’s what rights are, you know) and in rolling back existing infringements? How about someone who knows what he’s talking about, how to advance the truth, and how to call prohibitionists out on their lies? [More]

Trying to Re-up to No Avail
Received via email from WarOnGuns Correspondent Jess:
On the 25th, this month, I renewed my NRA Instructors creds, for 2 years. While I was on the site, I tried to make an address and telephone number change. When I got to that page, I couldn't get the cursor to come up in any of the spaces I wanted to change. It was like the page was "dead". Also, when I pulled up the image of my "new" creds, it had the same expiration date of my current creds, 10/30/2021. I tried doing this on two different days; same result. I also tried calling the 703-267-1500 number for that division, but got the same recording both times I called. I left a detailed message, as to the problems, both times I called. Basically said "There's no one here to take your call", and to leave a message and your number and your call will be returned. No one has called. So......is there anybody still working at NRA HQ, or have they all jumped the sinking ship in light of all their legal woes?

U.S. Training 'Well Regulated Militias' – for Foreigners
In short, our government is spending untold dollars to prop up patriotism in other countries while arming and training their civilians to defend their homelands. Meanwhile, the administration and its agencies, with plenty of media cheerleading, is working all the angles to disarm U.S. civilians and label armed heritage Americans, including survivalists, preppers, and believers in civil defense programs, as terrorists and as racists.
