Joanne D Eisen
Retired dentist, NYS Escapee in Alexandria, VA. Has collaborated and written on firearm and genocide politics for the past 40+ years. Interested in the need by victims for weapons, how civilian possession shapes power balances and the outcomes of violent acts, including the issues of the disarmed Oromo nation in Ethiopia. Believes in no-compromise with liars and their ignorant hangers on about civilian weapons ownership, and dramatic reduction of silly firearms control laws.

In the ongoing debate surrounding gun ownership in the United States, one fundamental question persists: Why is it necessary to protect private arms possession?
There is a positive moral right to keep and bear arms, one that entails not merely the absence of interference but the presence of enabling conditions necessary for meaningful self-defense…
Are all laws having to do with firearms and “gun rights” unconstitutional? “Congress shall make no law” and “shall not be infringed” reflect distinct approaches to constitutional rights…
“Firearms wokeness” was MORE about ideology than about governance. It showed what happens when administrative agencies become the primary vehicle for gun policy in a polarized, tyrannical era.
Less-lethal weapons might make some individuals more willing to act in situations where they might otherwise avoid confrontation, responsible carrying of any weapon requires careful consideration…
A major challenge in the debate over Pistol Purchase Permit laws is balancing the individual’s right to bear arms with what the government claims is its responsibility to ensure public safety.
Our Founders wrote the 2A in terms of their time which was well understood, even by those who could not read. “Everyone has the right to own, and all carry weapons, and this right is not to be infringed.”
…each of these cartridges has distinct advantages and drawbacks that influence their effectiveness for personal defense.
The .50 BMG, .338 Lapua, and .338 Lapua Magnum are some of the most powerful and widely recognized cartridges in long-range shooting.
The .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) cartridge, one of the most iconic and enduring rounds in the world of firearms, has a history that stretches back over a century.
From its role in introducing new shooters to firearms, to its use in competitive sports and self-defense, the .22LR ammunition round continues to prove its worth..
Despite being a ‘pocket’ caliber, the .32 ACP ammunition round faces technical challenges, notably ‘rim lock,’ a malfunction unique to some pistols chambered for it.
Joanne D. Eisen passed away after a courageous battle with pancreatic cancer, leaving behind a legacy of tireless Second Amendment advocacy & impactful writings.
The UN Arms Trade Treaty is an absolute failure! Disarmament is not what cooperating states signed up for, as they require security more than an imposed peace….
The public health experts who embarrassed themselves with bad advice on COVID are the same “experts” who arrogantly offer advice about gun ownership.
Perhaps the UN and its member governments should concentrate on providing security and good governance instead of demands for disarmament that promises peace but too often leads to violence.
The UN cannot stop citizens from arming themselves for protection. Human nature includes a large dollop of ingenuity and we will get the guns…
Millions of armed civilians exist right here in the U.S. They, and their guns, already serve to protect their fellow Americans…
Gun owners know guns have a positive effect on their lives. But just how much benefit is there in a lethal tool? A look at how beneficial firearms are to average civilians.
The Second Amendment is abused at the Federal, State, and local levels. Just look at the constant BS via the BATFE (a.k.a. ATF), an agency way out of control.
Socialists are exploiting constant crises to radically change a culture that has endured over 200 years. Simultaneously, attempting to make gun ownership difficult…
The confusing conflation of Assault Rifles & Assault Weapons completes the attack on Self-Defense. An attack on anything that can be used as a weapon for defense…
There are 25+ thousand Federal, State, & local gun laws in the US. Yet we are told we need still more!? Pro-gun-control advocates & scientists have made a mess of the truth.
If generally law-abiding folks are willing to disobey the law of their state gun laws by not using Expanded NICS, why should we expect criminals & felons to use it?
The weapons control fantasy is so compelling for the advocates that it blocks their understanding of pure evil. Until they face & control that evil, they cannot secure global peace.
A familiar hoax is that guns & gun owners are dangerous. It’s an assumption that politicians use to claim we need more laws to deal with gun violence.
In other words, localities may not casually ban guns in the very places where they might be needed.
But guess what the progressives in New York State did?
There is no evidence of anything about the UN Arms Trade Treaty leading to peace. The Institute for Economics & Peace, in its Global Peace Index, admitted…
“The very strong deterrent effect of armed victims is demonstrated by the consistent behavior of tyrants waiting to start mass murder until the victims have been disarmed.” ~ Dave Kopel.
They took control of the education system, the news facilities, the voting systems, Congress, the three-letter agencies, the DOJ, and more. We literally gave it to them.
