This week we are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. George T. McCall. Matthew 7:12 tells us that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us. Does this mean we should avoid owning a firearm for self-defense? Since we don't want to be shot, should we avoid firearms so that we do not shoot someone else?

We are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by Rev. Guillaume Williams (of online hangout fame). Psalm 144:1 (“Blessed be the Lord…who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle”) has been used as a proof text for gun rights. But are we training for war? Is the criminal our enemy? Or is this just a careless misuse of God's word to support gun ownership? se of the verse?

We are continuing our series on the book “Duty to Defend” with an article by the late Rev. Richard Bolland. How can you love your enemy if you are willing to shoot them in self-defense?

Following the shocking assassination of an insurance industry CEO on the streets of New York City, voices on the Left have (unsurprisingly) celebrated — or at least justified — the killing, suggesting that it's tragic BUT somehow understandable. Sadly, those kinds of comments are not exclusive to the Left, and coming from some in the 2A community, it's a particularly bad look.

In this week's episode, Lloyd takes a look at the case of an Ohio man who recently argued that 18 USC § 922(g)(5)(A) is unconstitutional because it denies the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment to aliens who are unlawfully in the United States. We'll break down the arguments on both sides and the interesting questions raised by the case, both in terms of gun rights and President-elect Trump's stated plans to deport illeg...

Have you seen the new Volvo ad? It is unabashedly pro-life and pro-family and a refreshing change by corporate America to appeal to the “normies,” the men and women who turned the 2024 election for Donald Trump. To win the culture war, this is a step in the right direction. It reinforces the reality that two-parent families with children are not only not “weird,” but are good and desirable.

In this week's variety show episode, Mia, Sergeant Bill and Steve Clifford reflect on the outcome of the 2024 election and what it might mean for gun rights, for hunters, competitive shooters, and police.

You have a duty as a parent to defend your loved ones and the children whom God has given you. That includes defending them from your irrational fears about an imaginary orange dictator.
