“They spit in our faces and call it rain” is an expression that many people use in slightly different – sometimes more offensive -- terms, but the gist is the same: hubristic egomaniacs engage in attacks on you, and they tell you they’re helping you -- that it’s for your own good. And after the Biden Administration EPA last year issued its edict that by 2026, all domestic vehicle sellers…

On September 13, the California Assembly presented for Governor Gavin Newsom’s signature its just-passed, 11-percent excise tax on the sale of most ammunition and firearms in the state. Which likely inspired black market participants to cheer their good fortune. The bill is called AB 28, and The Center Square’s Kenneth Schrupp explains that this 11-percent tax comes in addition to the current 7…

Under Joe Biden’s centralized federal bureaucracy, the migrant flood along the borders of southern US states has become such a pressing problem that many conservatives are starting to acknowledge the wisdom of federalism and of states to handle things unfettered by the feds. And many are acknowledging that, no matter how many old-guard news agencies and how many US bureaus try to hide the…

Monday, September 18, was “National Cheeseburger Day,” seeing Wendy’s sell a burger for a penny and McDonald’s sell one for 50 Cents. And, in addition to the day bringing more light to how, despite decades of productivity gains, the government-granted bank monopoly has devalued their fiat currency (in 1948, the original McDonald’s hamburger cost a nickel) it also brought more attention to the…

  In a move running counter to the typical Mafia-style call for “loyalty” between father and son, the Hunter Biden defense team is leveraging recent US Circuit Court rulings that negate portions of a decades-old US gun-grab statute that Don Joe has loved for years. The issue centers on federal “prosecutor” David Weiss’s recent grand jury indictments of Hunter that pertain to his possession…

  In a move that harkens back to the old consumer saying, “not as satisfying as advertised,” the Ninth US Circuit Court of Appeals Thursday dealt a major blow to California’s gun-grab political forces, while offering merely a pyrrhic victory to advocates of free speech and the right to keep and bear arms. How can these two seemingly disparate facts coexist? Bearing Arms’ Cam Edwards offers…

Culminating months of political maneuvering that justifiably leery Americans observed with suspicion, the California Assembly Thursday passed a resolution calling for a US Constitutional Convention to undermine the inherent right to keep and bear arms that the Second Amendment explicitly makes off-limits from infringement by all forms of government. His pet political subversion would be called…

Freedom-backers on the internet justifiably showed outrage last Thursday when news surfaced that New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham (D) issued a so-called “Emergency Executive Order” supposedly banning people in Albuquerque from carrying concealed firearms for the next 30 days. The fantastical and threatening “E.O.” purportedly went into “effect” the next day, and Grisham’s arrogant,…

  It’s a perennial story – the seemingly eternal parade of politicians that new generations of hypocrites can join, trailing after their ideological forebears as they bang the proverbial drum for degenerate, unresponsive, tax-funded public schools on the federal, state, and local level, and implying that private schools are elitist and wrong – all while they either send their own children to…

MRCTV readers and video viewers likely are aware of the important and long-standing battle between those who support the right to keep and bear arms and those who would exploit the power of government to attack that right. The former are people who employ logic, ethics, and principles in a peaceful, defensive practice of the fundamental right to self-defense. The latter typically are politicians…
