Senator Eslinger and I have filed an identical resolution in our respective chambers. The joint goal of this fundamental freedom resolution is simple. In Missouri we want to forever protect our individual Second Amendment rights before it is too late.
In the landmark 2008 case of District of Columbia vs. Heller, the United States Supreme Court held: “The Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm unconnected with [in addition to] service in a militia, and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home.” |

Increasingly, as militias acquire and stockpile weapons, they’re turning guns from a public-health concern into a threat to national security. And it’s possible that if proponents of reform—including advocacy groups, congressional leaders and Biden—began addressing it that way, they’d have a chance of energizing the debate against the National Rifle Association and its allies. Indeed, the shock of the insurrection has increased the political burdens of an NRA in internal disarray and offered a new perspective on the need for significant gun control legislation. |

Mass public shootings are horrifying, seemingly random events with high casualty counts, and for that reason they attract much more press and political attention than far more common kinds of lethal violence, even though they account for a tiny percentage of homicides and gun deaths. A new analysis by RAND Corporation economist Rosanna Smart and senior behavioral scientist Terry Schell calls attention to some of the ways in which the disproportionate emphasis on crimes like the recent massacres in Atlanta, Boulder, and Indianapolis distorts and confuses the debate about gun control. |

A group of pro-Second Amendment demonstrators marched Sunday from Mills Park to the Nevada Capitol, where they lined North Carson Street waving signs and flags in support of gun ownership rights.
Demonstrators said they gathered to voice their support for the Second Amendment, one of the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution known as the Bill of Rights.
The Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibits Congress from infringing upon the people's right to keep and bear arms. |

Foreign Policy did promote this article on Twitter, and Saita even claims the Second Amendment didn’t fit into this. It was all part of “a global ‘security’ system founded on colonialism & racism,” per one of her Tweets. These claims are laughable to anyone who has done elementary research on what the Founders of this country said about the Second Amendment. Antonin Scalia’s opinion in Heller vs. District of Columbia also goes into great detail on this.
Despite the laughability of these claims, this article should worry Second Amendment supporters. Next to the Holocaust, slavery is about as close as one can get to an exemplar of evil. |

Yesterday, the House Judiciary Committee heard House Bill 1091, to ban private transfers and make it harder to obtain a FOID, and House Bill 1092, to expand Illinois’ program of suspending Second Amendment rights without due process. Please contact your state representative and ask them to OPPOSE HB 1091 and HB 1092. |

The recent proliferation of violent shootings and mass murders in cities and towns around the nation have spurred many people to ask, “What is going on?”
Puzzled, America’s backbone is being challenged by myriad developments converging at one time, say social scientists around Virginia.
“People are stressed out, grieving the loss of loved ones, the loss of freedoms due to the pandemic and being at home all day long,” said Dr. Cynthia Ellison, a licensed psychologist and director of the counseling center at Virginia State University. |

Yesterday, the General Assembly recessed from its 2021 legislative session. During this session, the House passed House Bill 1369, to ensure that law-abiding adults can exercise their right to self-defense without first having to obtain government permission. Unfortunately, the Senate did not even give this critical bill a committee hearing, resulting in it failing to pass this session.
As a small victory for law-abiding citizens, Senate Bill 64, to make schools less safe by imposing onerous, one-size-fits-all requirements on school security, did not progress in the legislative process. |

State lawmakers are weighing a proposal that would ban Mainers from packing firearms in polling stations, but gun rights groups say the changes are unnecessary.
LD 805 would authorize municipal officials to prohibit firearms in polling stations on Election Day.
Under the proposal, firearms would be prohibited from being within 250 feet of a polling station, though law-enforcement officers would be exempt from the ban. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
