Hunter Biden: Someone Has to Say It

June 8, 2024June 8, 2024 Ian Underwood

As much fun as it is for Republicans to watch Hunter Biden being dragged through the mud in order to ‘prove’ that he lied on a federal form — as if that’s something that should take five days rather than five minutes — the simple fact is that as part of ‘the people’, his right to own a gun is protected by the 2nd and 14th Amendments to the federal constitution.

Maryland’s Attempt to Flank the Bruen Decision Has a Bad Day In Court

September 1, 2023 Skip

Dan, in his Surreply in his Election Law suit against Gov. Chris Sununu and other officials, elected and appointed, uses Bruen to buttress his argument.
