Sometimes being a Second Amendment (2A) advocate in California can be discouraging. The seemingly endless string of new gun control laws, disinformation, and ever increasing infringement upon basic rights can, at times, make staying positive a challenge. Occasionally we forget that the 2A is alive and well throughout most of Free America and its only in a handful of backward …
Contrary to what some may have you believe, the Second Amendment (2A) is alive and well in America. It is certainly under vigorous attack from the gun control left, but normal Americans cherish their Constitution and they cherish the Second Amendment. Part of what the 2A provides is the right of self-protection for an individual citizen and his or her …
In the wake of a recent resolution by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors declaring the National Rifle Association (NRA) a “domestic terrorist organization,” the San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO), a political action committee promoting Second Amendment rights, has issued a public travel warning to U.S. gun owners to avoid any travel to San Francisco. “As a public service …
by Michael A. Schwartz, Executive Director, San Diego County Gun Owners I just got off the phone with Chula Vista City Council Member John McCann where he spent the entire 20-minute call pretending to be the victim of his own vote at last night’s city council meeting. If you are a Republican who has wondered why California continues to see …
by Michael A. Schwartz, Executive Director, San Diego County Gun Owners Tuesday, July 30th the San Diego City Council voted to require all gun owners within the city limits to keep their guns locked or inoperable while in the home. The vote was 7 to 2 with Chris Cate and Scott Sherman in opposition. The penalty for violating this new, overreaching law? …
The San Diego County Gun Owners political-action committee feels it is shameful that Rep. Scott Peters saw a horrible tragedy like the mass murder in Las Vegas as an opportunity to advance his gun-control agenda. Americans are mourning, healing and helping. Yet, Peters chose to leverage this tragedy to advance his agenda through a public statement that was published on this website. Our advocacy organization …
Friends, Like you, I am sickened and saddened by the horrific mass murder that happened Sunday night at a concert in Las Vegas. Reading about it, hearing about it, and viewing the video taken by witnesses put a lump in my throat all day yesterday. I don’t know how any of us kept from shedding a tear. May the families …
Guest Commentary by Hon. Rob McNelis An injustice is happening in San Diego County. And, the person causing the injustice is the county’s top law enforcement officer, Sheriff Bill Gore. Sheriff Gore is denying the Second Amendment rights of San Diego County residents who want to carry concealed firearms outside of the home. Gore has set-up secret, undisclosed internal policies …
I’m surprised to see widely respected theologian/pastor John Piper challenge Christians not only on the natural right of self-defense but to go so far as question one’s intent when calling the police. “I realize that even to call the police when threatened — which, in general, it seems right to do in view of Romans 13:1–4 — may come from …
After announcing our launch on October 21, San Diego County Gun Owners PAC received numerous inquiries about our ratings from both concerned city councilmembers, wanting to change their rating, and concerned voters who wanted to know why their elected official received a positive or negative rating. After reviewing information provided to us about some of the local city council members, …
Guest Commentary by Michael A. Schwartz I spent last weekend representing our Gun Owners of California booth at two different locations; the Del Mar Gun show and the San Diego County Republican Party’s open house. The one topic that kept coming up over and over again from both groups of people was the issue of concealed weapon permits. Background: A …
Guest Commentary by Michael A. Schwartz While many were out celebrating Cinco de Mayo, more than 200 people again showed up to Carlsbad’s City Council meeting to support Gunther Guns’ indoor recreational shooting range. The first time was back in February, as I previously documented. This time there were a couple more speakers in opposition than February’s lone opponent, but …
From Michael Schwartz To San Diego CityBeat’s Ryan Bradford, I read your recent article on the Crossroads of the West gun show, held in Del Mar on December 14. The way your half-drunken friends treat pistols makes them representative of gun owners as much as their alcohol abuse makes them sommeliers or enologists. I do commend them for unloading the …
Press Release Feb 5, 2014 Washington DC—Today, the House of Representatives passed legislation that includes the Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act, a bipartisan and deficit-neutral measure introduced by Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) to help states create and maintain public shooting ranges for hunters and sportsmen. The Training Practice and Marksmanship Training Support Act was incorporated into H.R. 3590, …
The National Rifle Association recently held its annual “Youth Education Summit” in Washington, D.C. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for 40 high school students from across the country to learn about the nation’s governance, meet policymakers, and tour the great monuments and sights of our nation’s capitol. The students come away understanding the importance of being an active, …
Guest Commentary by Michael A. Schwartz A recent foxnews.com article indicates that pro-gun Democrats may get a boost in November. This is both good news…and bad. The good news is that people have been fighting to make gun rights a part of everyone’s agenda and it is working. The Second Amendment is important whether you are gay or straight, black …
Your support is needed for AB 357. This bill would change the California Concealed Firearms License (CCW) policy from “MAY ISSUE” to “SHALL ISSUE.” This is a vital distinction. In “May Issue” counties, the onus is put upon the law abiding citizen to affirmatively prove he or she ‘deserves’ a concealed carry permit. In “Shall Issue” counties, it is up to the law enforcement …
“The key to freedom is the ability to be able to defend yourself. And if you don’t have the tools to do that then you are at the mercy of whoever wants to put you away. And the tools for that are guns.” Nope, this isn’t a quote from anyone in the National Rifle Association. It’s from a man named …
California will now require a thumb print to purchase ammunition and in Tijuana the drug cartel will relieve you of your thumb for choosing the wrong side. Border violence continues to escalate along the San Diego/Mexico border with Mexican official Rogelio Sanchez being kidnapped by the Mexican drug cartel. Last week his lifeless body was left to hang on a …
Now flip-flopping all over the place from last year’s stance, the Governor today has signed AB962, the bill that requires buyers of handgun ammunition to leave thumbprints and detailed personal information with registered ammo sellers, as well as put restrictions on online bullet sales. It prevents California residents from ordering ammo on-line from out of state and having it delivered …
