One Massacre Illustrates Why Second Amendment Exists

There’s no real debate about 9/11 being the worst massacre in American history, at least within the context of someone or a group killing as many people as quickly as possible, generally in a single day.

But before then, there was another massacre that reigned supreme, and while it involved plenty of guns, making it an exception to my look at massacres of the past where they weren’t used, it’s actually a great example of why we need the Second Amendment.

See, this one was carried out by the United States government.

GUNTER: Pure folly for Liberals to try to force electric vehicles on Canadians

The Liberals’ devotion to their EV (electric vehicle) mandate borders on the cultish. They are certain, as all True Believers are, that if only they believe passionately enough (and spend enough taxpayers’ money), they will be able to convince all Canadians to buy EVs.

Ford brought up the matter during an unrelated news conference in Pickering on Thursday, where he mused about legislation that would make it easier for shoppers to identify which products are made outside of Canada amid the ongoing trade war with the U.S.

Bondi Tightens Trump Administration’s Grip on D.C. Police

Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday night rescinded Washington, D.C., policies that restrict the local police from aiding in immigration enforcement as she moved to tighten the Trump administration’s grip over law enforcement in the nation’s capital.

Smith.

Israel has announced it will build an enormous settlement in the West Bank to effectively “bury the idea of a Palestinian state”.

About 3,300 homes would built between Jerusalem and the Jordan border under the plans announced on Thursday, in direct response to British and French plans to recognise an independent Palestine.

Critics fear the “E1” project will effectively cut the West Bank in two, preventing a contiguous body of land that could form the basis of a viable Palestinian state.
