Weekly Roundup # 127
A collection of interesting articles you may not have seen by authors you may not have read.
The Weekly Roundup is a feature offered to my readers in addition to my regular articles. The Roundup is a collection of mostly recent articles you probably haven’t seen by writers you may not have read. The main intent is to expose readers to a reasonable amount of hopefully new information in the hope this will encourage some to explore further and develop a deeper understanding of the issues that shape our society and ultimately determine our way of life. The secondary intent is to offer some interesting reading for you while providing exposure for some great writers. Enjoy!
Good news for California concealed carriers as CCW permits will be going from two year renewals to three year renewals. Read the details of this new law in California CCW Permits Are Changing: What AB 1948 Means for You.
More good news for Californians as the DOJ challenges the state’s Glock ban. Cam Edwards reports in California Claims Ban on Glocks Doesn’t Implicate the Second Amendment.
We’re on a roll with good news so we’ll continue with a story of a black firearms instructor who loves her country and is doing her part to make it great. Tom Knighton has the story in The Media Needs to Report More Good Gun Stuff Like This.
The hits just keep on coming with news that SCOTUS may finally resolve the issue of AR-15 bans. Stephen Gutowski tells us what the experts think in Experts Expect Supreme Court to Strike Down AR-15 Bans.
My opinion regarding the ATF hasn’t changed, but just as a blind squirrel occasionally finds a nut, the ATF occasionally does something that serves law-abiding Americans. AWR Hawkins has the story in Exclusive: ATF Director Explains How Agency Helped Law-Abiding Gun Owners in Rush to Beat VA Gun Control.
As we begin the celebrations commemorating 250 years of the greatest nation the world has ever seen, what could be more appropriate than an explanation of the Founders intent regarding the Second Amendment. Jay Rogers does the honors in The Militia That Wasn’t: What the Founders Really Meant. And Why Bruen Got It Right.
The Weekly Roundup now includes a humorous meme to lighten the day. The weekly meme is chosen from dozens posted in the Week in Pictures originally created by Steven Hayward and for a time carried on by his colleague John Hinderaker of the Powerline blog. Hayward and Hinderaker have now decided to alternate their WIP duties each week. Welcome back Steven! Powerline features excellent reporting and analysis of American politics and culture. I’ve been reading the work of Hayward and his colleagues for over fifteen years.
Enjoy this week’s meme.
