Biden using complicit media to target First and Second Amendments

by Lee Williams Journalists were once champions of Free Speech. Some even went to jail for the beliefs. Nowadays, they are openly calling for increased government censorship and regurgitating anything else the Biden-Harris administration desires. The Fourth Estate has muzzled itself and abrogated its once powerful government watchdog role, which even critics said was vital […]
Woke media pounce on sheriff who advocates shooting home invaders

by Lee Williams Santa Rosa County (Florida) Sheriff Bob Johnson describes himself as a cop, not a politician. He certainly has the résumé.

BREAKING: Florida Agriculture Commissioner suing Biden, ATF over cannabis prohibition on Form 4473

by Lee Williams Florida’s Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried has always been a bit of an enigma in the Sunshine State. She’s the only Democrat elected to statewide office.

Most of the assault rifles were equipped with high-end optics. […]
Whistleblower: Joe Biden’s ‘crackdown on ghost guns’ based on ATF hoax

by Lee Williams Joe Biden repeated some of his most discredited lies about the Second Amendment Monday during a press conference held in the Rose Garden – deer in Kevlar vests, fictitious prohibitions on the right to keep and bear arms, including cannons – but it is the actions he’s taking that are the most […]
Florida’s path to constitutional carry – what has to happen now

Late last month, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis issued a formal proclamation calling the legislature back to Tallahassee for a special session. As of today, constitutional carry is not scheduled to be heard. Florida law is very specific about what can and cannot be considered during a special session. It’s not a free-for-all where a wide […]
Biden considering another anti-gun nominee for ATF directorship

Joe Biden is considering nominating another staunch anti-gunner to head the ATF, according to POLITICO, even though millions of angry American gun owners helped scuttle Biden’s first choice, David Chipman, because of Chipman’s long history of anti-gun advocacy.

Not even ATF can verify ATF’s ‘ghost gun’ claims

by Lee Williams The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has a unique reputation among federal law enforcement agencies. Quite frankly, the ATF is well known for not always telling the truth. Whether its firearm statistics, after-action reports downplaying the body count of their latest sting to backfire or quotes from senior executives, any […]
Biden’s budget: $1.7 billion increase for the ATF

by Lee Williams There are few documents in Washington more worthless than a presidential budget. Joe Biden’s budget, which was formally presented Monday, is no exception. A presidential budget is merely a wish list – a starting point for the complex task of funding the government. They’re more of a statement of priorities than an […]
Come on, man. Of course, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is anti-gun

by Lee Williams You don’t need to be an expert Supreme Court prognosticator, legal scholar or even a tea-leaf reader to know that any potential justice for the nation’s highest court nominated by the Biden-Harris administration is going to be an anti-gun extremist. There are some who believe there’s still not enough information about Biden’s […]
Inside NBC’s libelous, unethical and illegal ‘ghost gun’ hit piece

by Lee Williams Our friends at Ammoland Shooting Sports News have done incredible work exposing the crimes – actual crimes – NBC correspondent Vaughn Hillyard and his crew committed while producing the liberal network’s latest hit-piece on homemade firearms. I was asked to take a look at the story from a different perspective. What I […]
A strategic defense in Joe Biden’s war against American gun dealers

by Lee Williams The Biden-Harris administration is not hiding their goal of eliminating as many gun dealers as possible. They recently ordered the ATF to start revoking Federal Firearm Licenses for even the most minor of paperwork issues. This level of weaponization is unprecedented, even for the ATF. It’s clear that the administration mistakenly believes […]
Joe Biden declares war on American gun dealers

While the world’s attention is focused on the horrific events unfolding in Eastern Europe, the Biden-Harris administration quietly unleashed hell on American gun dealers.

Beyond Stand Your Ground: The need for immunity in other Second Amendment-related cases

Florida’s Stand Your Ground statute and similar laws in other states can offer immunity from prosecution when someone uses deadly force to defend themselves, and affords them quick access to an appellate review if the case doesn’t go their way. In other words, if a defendant involved in a defensive shooting invokes a Stand-Your-Ground defense, […]

An open letter to Gabby Giffords, Shannon Watts and Michael Bloomberg

by Lee Williams Dear Gabby, Shannon and Mike, The instant the first Russian T-80 crossed the Ukrainian border, the whole world could see the uselessness of everything you’ve ever said and everything you’ve ever done. You’ve been overtaken by events – mooted and muted in one fell swoop, so scram. Leave the field. It is […]
