January 7, 2021 Last month I was looking over AmmoLand’s recent articles and happened upon one by the esteemed David Codrea.  Codrea, a prolific writer on 2nd Amendment issues put out a piece on December 1, 2020 entitled: “Gun Prohibitionists Exploiting Suicide to Advance Disarmament Agenda”.

December 28, 2020 What I mean by keep your finger off the trigger, I specifically mean not on the trigger, outside of the trigger guard and finger indexed on the frame or receiver of the firearm. If I see your finger on the trigger guard I will tell you to keep your finger off the trigger. Anything but seeing your finger “indexed” I’m going to consider “on the trigger.”

December 23, 2020  In the age of transparency and citizens’ rights to information, I need to point out the CDC’s excessive use of what I call the “government highlighter”, aka black magic marker. 213 pages of one document were fully redacted and the other FOIA document had 12 pages fully redacted and included a fluffy 100+ page report that is readily available to the public.
