(AP Photo/Steven Senne) The Second Amendment Sanctuary movement is still chugging along, and not just in state legislatures, which have approved 2A Sanctuary legislation in places like Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, and Tennessee this year. The 2A Sanctuary movement, after all, began at the county level, and it seems like every day there are more counties signing on. In fact, I generally don’t write about counties declaring themselves to be Second Amendment safe havens any more, because I’d be writing multiple stories each day. I’m making an exception here, because Jasper and Hardin countie...

Terry McAuliffe, a DNC fundraiser and Clinton flak who defiled the Governor of Virginia office from 2014-2018, is gunning for a second term this November. In the Democratic primary, he bested five challengers and spent a whopping $15 million in a contest where he was favored to win. Against political newcomer and Republican gubernatorial nominee Glenn Youngkin, however, he is struggling to negatively brand his opponent and make his attacks stick.  Is “Fast Terry” ready for primetime? Not so fast. From blunders to fact checks, the 72nd Governor of Virginia isn’t a shoo-in for his old jo...

As of June 20, there are 1,930 counties “protected by Second Amendment Sanctuary legislation at either the state or county level,” representing 61% of 3,141 counties and county equivalents in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Roughly 1,137 counties “have taken it upon themselves to pass Second Amendment Sanctuary...

Abbott’s office did not specify what legislative priorities will be included on the special session agenda and said in an advisory that such items “will be announced prior to the convening of the special session.” One is passing Republicans’ priority voting bill that failed during the regular legislative session. Democratic lawmakers are mulling how to try to stop it in the special session. Outnumbered and virtually powerles...

Most big-city mayors are Democrats, after all, and that party’s anti-gun attitudes are what led to the Second Amendment Sanctuary movement in the first place. Well, the biggest city in the largest state in the Union is now a Second Amendment Sanctuary, and the mayor didn’t waste much time in making th...
