November 30, 2020 Governor Phil Murphy and his chummy buddies; the gun-grabbing, anti-freedom, anti-civil rights groups such as Everytown for Gun Safety, Moms Demand Action, Giffords, et.al. have not skipped a beat in continuing to flex their influence and try to usurp the liberties of peaceful law-abiding citizens.

October 16, 2020 Whether it was Mom’s Demand Action having gun stores shut down, or advocating for the reduction/reform of police while the country is on fire, there really has been no lack of “work” being done from those pushing the anti-gun agenda. Story after story about citizens’ rights being stripped...
