“No free man shall ever be barred from using arms to guard public liberty.” – Thomas Jefferson The gun control debate began in the 1920s in Germany’s Weimar Republic.

A firm in China that uses slave labor has a better ESG score than an American firm that pays landowners who freely sell their mineral rights. Expecting publicly traded companies to do more than simply return shareholder value — their fiduciary responsibility — is a fairly new development in Western capitalism. The idea that […]

For the third time in the last fourteen years, the Supreme Court has strongly held that the Second Amendment “is not a second-class right,” as Justice Thomas re-affirmed for the 6-3 majority in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v.
