As is my custom for nearly 15 years… And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto …

While working an RSO shift at the range last week I had the opportunity to speak with two gentlemen on the subject of concealed carry.

Poway Resident Chris Cruse Questions Charitable Nature of Steve Vaus’ Carols By Candlelight

Brian BradyBrian Brady 3 Comments

I think it’s safe to say that Poway activist Chris Cruse doesn’t care for Poway Mayor Steve Vaus. In 2009, when Vaus spearheaded the recall effort of Council Member Betty Rexford, Cruse suggested that he was leveraging his “Carols By Candlelight” website to promote his political campaign for Council: “The website stevevaus.com has a link to recallrexford.com. And Poway resident …

Clear thinking Americans understand that the vast majority of gun control laws in place are completely ineffective regarding their stated purpose. That stated purpose is always to increase public safety and reduce crime. Many of these laws actually endanger the public. Most are unconstitutional in that they clearly “infringe” on our rights. Among the most dangerous of these laws are …

Reconsidering SCOTUS in the Fight for the Second Amendment

San Diego County Gun OwnersSan Diego County Gun Owners Leave a Comment

In 2017 I wrote an article questioning the wisdom of depending on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) to protect the Second Amendment (2A) and the rights of gun owners in America. Over time there seemed to be too many instances where SCOTUS declined to hear a 2A case or when they did, the ruling seemed too weak. …

Why Tulsi Gabbard Is The Greatest Presidential Candidate For Whom I Will Never Vote

Brian BradyBrian Brady 1 Comment

I admire Tulsi Gabbard.  I won’t vote for her; her ideas about government’s relationship to the economy and individual economic choices are statist but I love her non-interventionist message.  (Inlookers might look at my first post on San Diego Rostra, and read from there). I admire that she isn’t afraid to be a guest on Tucker Carlson or go on …

Sweet Virginia Under Siege by Anti-Gun Forces – Citizens Fight Back

San Diego County Gun OwnersSan Diego County Gun Owners 1 Comment

Funded by multimillionaire leftists, anti-gun forces have swept the elections and seized control of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Michael Bloomberg and others poured an inordinate amount of money into the Virginia elections and were able to elect an anti-gun Governor and create a legislature dominated by anti-gun politicians. To express appropriate gratitude to their out of state supporters, the first …

SASOs – American Normals Fight Back

San Diego County Gun OwnersRostra General Posts, San Diego County Gun Owners Leave a Comment

When I first became a Second Amendment (2A) activist I remember thinking about the subject of Sanctuaries. At the time the idea of sanctuary cities, counties, and even states was gaining traction. These were focused on immigration issues and ignoring federal law aimed at stopping illegal immigration. I remember thinking how nice it would be if people began creating Second …

It’s election season and San Diego County Gun Owners has received our candidate questionnaire back from San Marcos City Council candidate Ed Musgrove.  In a word, it was horrible. Normally, I don’t publish information from questionnaires.  If their response includes a questionable statement or two, I look at it as an opportunity to educate the candidate.  I contact the candidate …
