Has the ATF Gone Too Far When It Comes To Private Gun Owners? (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

Though most of Congress’ laws seem to protect gun owners, some believe that the ATF – the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives – could have its own agenda when it comes to how it deals with private gun owners.

Handling of Mar-a-Lago Raid Breeding Distrust in Law Enforcement (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Unless trust is restored, the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago raid may begin the “collapse” of American law enforcement, police expert Michael Letts said. Over the past few years, the FBI has acted politically often enough that many Americans now struggle to trust it, Letts said. Letts runs In-Vest USA, a non-profit that provides bulletproof vests to police departments. Without explanations, acts like the Mar-a-Lago raid create distrust between local and federal law enforcement, he said. They also create civilian … Read more

After bail reform, New York’s crime numbers shoot into the stratosphere By Michael Letts

by

(Originally appeared on American Thinker.) It’s no surprise to anyone that crime is rampant in New York City.  The police force is understaffed and held on a tight leash by leftist politicians.  And when the police are allowed to arrest a criminal, charges are dropped, or the criminal is simply released because of the state’s bail reform laws. New York City mayor Eric Adams said during a recent news conference, “Time and time again, our police officers … Read more

The Double Standards of Biden’s Justice Department Reek to the High Heavens (Guest: Jim Harden)

by

(Originally appeared on The Western Journal.) When it comes to the Biden Justice Department, if it weren’t for double standards, there might be no standards at all.

In this particular case, the FBI just executed a search warrant on Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago in Florida, attempting to find key information on the actions of the former President.
