“The Trump administration is a powerful but unreliable ally of Second Amendment advocates” — Extremely unreliable. Some, like me, would say aggressively illiterate and purposely hostile toward the second amendment.

AOC’s constitutional illiteracy is profound.

If you're going to argue we can restrict Second Amendment rights because urban communities can't handle having guns in the way "rural Vermont" can, then why wouldn't it also follow we can't do the same with every right?

Warrantless searches wouldn't reduce much crime in most rural areas, but they'd do a lot in cities!

Literacy is dismal in Chicago. Why are we letting its residents vote without a literacy test?

And so on.

Rights are universal. If your area isn't mature enough to handle that liberty, then the response should be fixing your community's failings, not attacking the liberty.

This isn't a new problem. John Adams wrote that

"We have no Government armed with Power capable of contending with human Passions unbridled by morality and Religion. Avarice, Ambition, Revenge or Gallantry, would break the strongest Cords of our Constitution as a Whale goes through a Net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

Our Definition of Mouse Guns - courtesy of the brilliant tinkertalksguns.com

“The term ‘mouse gun’ has been around a long time; I remember hearing it as a child in the 1960s and I’m certain it wasn’t new then. These are a species of tiny pistols for ultimate concealment. Traditionally these are chambered for .25 ACP or .22 Long rifle or even .22 Short. Since the latter part of the 20th century there have been some available in .32 ACP and even .380 ACP, but the overwhelming majority of .32s and .380s do not fall into this category.

To me (and many other dinosaurs) a mouse gun is a tiny pistol chambered in .25 ACP or .22 LR. As previously stated later examples might be in .32 ACP or even .380, but these are a bit of an aberration. For a .32 or .380 to qualify as a mouse gun, to my way of thinking, it has to be as small as the aforementioned .22s and .25s, and there aren’t many that qualify.” — (tinkertalksguns.com)

While Tinker doesn’t consider the KelTec P-32 and OG Ruger LCP and LCP II to be “mouse guns”, we mods believe they are. Only barely. They are the absolute max-sized mouse guns. They are HUGE in comparison to a Baby Browning or CZ Duo.

Throughout his lifetime, Doc Holliday was known by many of his peers as a tempered, calm Southern gentleman. In an 1896 article, Wyatt Earp said: "I found him a loyal friend and good company. He was a dentist whom necessity had made a gambler; a gentleman whom disease had made a vagabond; a philosopher whom life had made a caustic wit; a long, lean blonde fellow nearly dead with consumption and at the same time the most skillful gambler and nerviest, speediest, deadliest man with a six-gun I ever knew."

Charles Dickens weaves a story like no other. His characters jump off the pages and spring to life with Rory Kinnear’s engaging and beautiful narration in the audiobook version. Reading the incomparable Dickens while listening to the talented Kinnear was a daily pleasure.

The characters that populate The Pickwick Papers feel like people you know or would like to know. From the devoted and unwavering Sam Weller to Mr. Pickwick himself, Dickens gives us rich, beloved, and beautifully-developed characters. The storytelling is magnificent and this tale is unquestionably one of Dickens’ most amusing, touching, memorable, and engaging.

If I could give this book more than five stars, I would. I would, sir!
