| Bill protecting gun rights during emergencies introduced | | | | x Mar 23, 2023 | | |  | | | | Our gun rights are under constant assault. That's clear to anyone who cares to look around for even a few seconds. Someone out there wants to restrict your right to keep and bear arms. And this is at a time when things are relatively chill. During an emergency, things might get even ...

THE HORROR | | | | x Mar 23 2023 | | | | When laws are challenged, they're challenged on constitutional grounds. Is this law in keeping with the Constitution or is this a case of legislative overreach? In fact, lawmakers are supposed to at least consider such things before passing laws.
