Citizen Vigilante  isn’t some limp-wristed Hollywood circle-jerk. It’s a full-blown counterculture middle finger to the entire dying industry. Modern filmmakers don’t just tell stories anymore. They’re self-appointed saviors scripting their own utopian wet dreams.   This low budget underground flick has turned into a viral hit. Every movie follows the sacred formula. Act One, a Problem appears. Act Two, the diverse cast trips over its own rainbow shoelaces. Act Three, woke savior descends, every conflict dissolves in a haze of mandatory interracial makeouts and gay weddings, and everyone lives happily ever after in multicultural nirvana. Except reality called. And it’s vomiting. Hollywood’s fantasy factory now demands cultural diversity that magically never fails. Black men are constitutionally incapable of villainy. They’re all noble, wise, bulletproof heroes. Gay relationships and interracial pairings are shoved in like mandatory garnish. The whole thing drips wi...

  Gun control became America’s favorite political magic trick in the 1960s. Politicians discovered they could pass one restriction after another and promise that crime would magically disappear. First, they shut down mail-order firearm sales. Then came dealer restrictions, endless regulations, background checks, waiting periods, registration proposals, and eventually the modern miracle cure known as the “red flag” law. The sales pitch never changed. “Just give us this one more law.” Then crime would fall. When crime didn’t fall, the solution was obvious: pass another law. And another. And another. Apparently, criminals were expected to become deeply committed to following regulations. Unfortunately for the planners, criminals failed to cooperate with the program. They stole guns. Bought guns illegally. Smuggled guns. Borrowed guns. Carried guns anyway. Meanwhile, the law-abiding citizen was rewarded with long forms, fees, waiting periods, government databases, and enough regu...

      As America prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we should all take a moment to appreciate the irony. Our ancestors fought a revolution to free themselves from an overbearing and oppressive government. Two and a half centuries later, we have managed to recreate one all by ourselves. Our government has become a gigantic extortion racket wearing a flag pin. Federal, state, and local politicians all line up with their hands out, demanding more money while assuring us it’s for our own good. We are expected to bankroll foreign governments that hate us, reward trespassers who entered the country illegally, with free EBT cards, housing, medical care, smartphones, and whatever new Socialist entitlement program politicians dream up next. Politicians are always bragging about what they “give” the American people. That’s rich. They don’t give us anything. They simply confiscate money from hard working Americans and redistribute it while demanding applause for their gene...

When Smith & Wesson was owned by the British conglomerate Tomkins PLC, the company signed a March 17, 2000 agreement with the Clinton Administration, HUD, Treasury, and several cities that had sued firearms manufacturers. In exchange, governments agreed to drop or limit certain lawsuits against Smith & Wesson.   The Clinton extortion inspired agreement included several major commitments: Built-in locking devices on firearms. Smith & Wesson agreed to incorporate locking devices and other safety features into its firearms. This is one of the roots of the later internal lock controversy.   “Smart gun” development. The company agreed to pursue personalized firearm technology that would limit use to authorized users. Many gun owners viewed this as a potential stepping stone to government mandates.   Dealer restrictions. Dealers selling Smith & Wesson products would have to follow a code of conduct that went beyond existing federal law. Critics argued this...

  The homelessness crisis is not some unsolvable mystery. It is not a problem that requires another decade of studies, committees, consultants, task forces, and billions more taxpayer dollars. The causes are obvious. The solutions are obvious. What is missing is political courage and less corruption.   Only a tiny percentage of people sleeping on the streets are there because of a temporary financial hardship. The overwhelming majority are suffering from severe drug addiction, serious mental illness, or both. For decades, liberal politicians have insisted on treating these people as if they were simply down on their luck and in need of another government program. The results are visible in every major city in America. More tents. More crime. More filth. More addiction. More human misery.  Somehow the answer is always the same.  Throw more money away. The homeless industrial complex has become one of the greatest taxpayer-funded rackets in modern history. Politica...

Let me begin by saying I do not care one bit about school rules, zero-tolerance policies, or any other feel-good regulations that tell decent people they are forbidden from carrying weapons and defending themselves. A concealed weapon carried for self-defense is exactly the right tool to deal with thugs, bullies, and wannabe tough guys who cannot keep their hands to themselves. The people who go around intimidating others deserve to encounter serious resistance, including resistance from someone who is armed and unwilling to be a victim. Karmelo Anthony has now been convicted and sentenced to 35 years in a Texas prison. The problem is that I still have more questions than answers. There is no video. There is no crystal-clear recording showing exactly what happened. We are left with witness testimony, and many of those witnesses may very well have been aligned with one side of the confrontation. What we do know is that a Black teenager was apparently being told by a group of White te...
