Weekly Roundup # 128
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!
Today we are in the presence of greatness as we have an article from the desk of legendary gun writer John Petrolino. This week the Legend reports on a fight in New Jersey which is likely very similar to what we can expect to see in California in the not too distant future. Read all about it in New Jersey Lawmakers Scramble to Defend “Gun-Free Zones” After SCOTUS Decisions.
Many gun owners find great pleasure in building their own firearms. D. Parker explains why you are all on the right track in Why you should build America’s rifle: the AR-15.
The importance of all Americans and particularly gun owners being informed, politically active, and involved cannot be overstressed. Florida has arguably one of the best state governments in the country from which its citizens benefit greatly. Disaster was averted for Floridians in the 2018 gubernatorial election by a mere 0.4% of the vote. Lee Williams reports in Staunch anti-gunner who nearly became Florida governor caught with meth, again.
The Trump DOJ suffered a minor setback in their effort to help Americans living in California. Cam Edwards has the story in California Glock Ban Won’t Be Halted After Judge Denies DOJ Motion.
Could there be another nut in the future of our blind squirrel? Tom Knighton may have the answer in ATF Steps Back on Rule Change Making Dealer Transfers Easier. What Happened?
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.
