Weekly Roundup # 65
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 intent is to provide some interesting reading for you while providing some exposure for some great writers. Enjoy!
Law-abiding citizens of Oregon are fighting the same battles we in California are fighting when it comes to defending the Second Amendment against government tyrants. John Woods shares his thoughts on the war in Gunfight at the Oregon corral.
Another battle for the Second Amendment was won in Iowa this week and AWR Hawkins has the story in Iowa Gov. Signs Bill Allowing 18-Year-Olds to Own, Carry Handguns.
Sometimes frustration with ill-conceived, dangerous laws and a desire to protect one’s family drives normally law-abiding citizens to carry illegally, but is that a good idea? Massad Ayoob examines the subject in Self-Defense and the Law: Is it Worth it to Carry Concealed Illegally?
Did the Biden administration really consider law-abiding gun owners to be domestic terrorists? Legendary gun writer John Petrolino has the story in Does Declassified Document on Domestic Terrorism Say You’re a Problem?
Is there a point where a zero tolerance policy might indicate a mental health problem on the part of those applying the policy? AWR Hawkins gives you the opportunity to decide in Mom Suing School That Suspended Her Son Over Dr. Pepper Cans Arranged in the Shape of a Rifle.
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 but now carried on by his colleague John Hinderaker of the Powerline blog. 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.
