We all need to use that same level of caution when it comes to the Second Amendment fight.

The bloggers were protesting a law that requires the state to collect the personal information of those who buy firearms and ammunition in California. When viewed in that context, the judge decided, “the legislators’ personal information becomes a matter of public concern.” (Read More)
