Beware the Fudd: He’s Not Extinct—And Kids, You’re Using the Word Wrong

by

The Fudd isn’t simply an old guy with a walnut-stocked deer rifle. He’s the gun owner who says, “I support the Second Amendment, but nobody needs *that*.” From $20,000 shotguns to $500 AR-15s—and even the infamous “full semi-automatic”—America’s gun culture has spent decades learning that somebody else’s firearm doesn’t become less protected just because you don’t like it.

The Truth About 3D-Printed Guns: Why Governments Fear Them and Why They’ll Fail to Ban Them

by

If you thought the Second Amendment was clear, Michigan’s recent attempts to outlaw 3D-printed firearms prove that clarity means nothing to politicians looking for control. The state’s latest ghost gun legislation mandates serial numbers on homemade firearms, threatens prison time for ownership, and in classic bureaucratic fashion, assumes criminals will suddenly start following gun laws. …
