On March 23, 1775 - less than a month before Lexington and Concord and the "shot heard round the world," Patrick Henry offered a set of resolutions before the Second Virginia Convention to establish a provincial militia and put Virginia in a posture of defense. In a speech during the debate, Henry delivered what history has come to recognize as the spirit of American Independence. “I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!”

More restrictions by executive order - two new ATF regulations are set to go into effect this summer, on “80 percent lowers,” and “pistol braces.” These will affect potentially millions of people, but the feds can be stopped.

In his 5th paper, Cato reiterates the issues he has with the structure of the executive branch, moves on to reject claims that a free people would never let their government devolve into tyranny, and then rips into the structure of Congress.

In 1984, a Senator from Delaware who now lives in the White House helped create the federal civil asset forfeiture program known as “equitable sharing.” Learn what it is, how it works, and how it’s used to circumvent state restrictions on asset forfeiture, which is legalized government robbery.

Don’t trust politicians. As we’ve seen hundreds of times in recent years, another local government passed a measure claiming to create a “2nd Amendment Sanctuary,” when they’ve actually created a sanctuary for absolutely nothing. Similarly dangerous moves are happening at the state level too.

Commemorating the 250th Anniversary of Dr. Joseph Warren’s Massacre Day Oration in 1772. The great patriot and revolutionary war hero urged the people to never forget the bloodshed of Mar. 5, 1770.
