Denver educator Celeste Archer is a luminary in the Colorado education community. She is the Executive Director of the University of Colorado Denver’s National History Day in Colorado program. But in a Kafkaesque turn of events, school officials summarily barred Archer from campus based on an anonymous allegation that she had tested positive for COVID-19, had COVID-19 symptoms, or had been exposed to them. The exclusion order was issued without advance notice, without an investigation, without a hearing, and without Archer having an opportunity to rebut the claim.
hat contradicts the plain meaning of the law, as well as longstanding Federal standards, the Department of Justice (DOJ) seeks to redefine many pistols with stabilizing braces as “short-barreled rifles,” by a rule proposed for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) in June 2021. Owners of these newly redefined guns would be subject to an incredibly stringent set of registration requirements and taxes—as well federal felony convictions for any wrong step—under the National Firearms Act.
Can the Biden Administration be trusted to defend the signature achievement of the previous administration’s Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos? It doesn’t take a crystal ball to see that is doubtful.
For years, gun control activists tried to force the federal government to regulate all kinds of objects that do not meet the legal definition of a “firearm.” Now, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (“ATF”) are doing the work for them.
Our tolerance for differences, whether racial, ethnic, attitudinal, or religious, is what makes American society so unique. But now that tolerance is being undermined from above. President Biden and his shadowy administrative state are trying to forcefully impose their radical new definition of “sex discrimination” on unwilling housing providers, including religious colleges.

White farmers and ranchers are excluded from the American Rescue Plan Act’s “socially disadvantaged” farmer and rancher debt relief program solely due to their race.
Since 2018, with limited exception, New Jersey has banned the possession of firearm magazines able to hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. But these magazines are protected by the Second Amendment and are commonly owned, often as a standard part of guns kept by law-abiding Americans. New Jersey’s ban on these magazines violates the People’s natural right to keep and bear arms, as protected by the Second Amendment. Accordingly, the Center to Keep and Bear Arms filed an amicus curiae brief with the U.S. Supreme Court arguing against New Jersey’s unconstitutional ban.
In March 2021, the Biden administration signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) COVID-19 stimulus plan, providing $4 billion to forgive loans for socially disadvantaged farmers and ranchers. But white farmers and ranchers are excluded in violation of the Constitution’s guarantee of Equal Protection.
At stake in this case is the question of whether federal agencies should be allowed to create law, enforce law, and then avoid judicial review by relying on a dubious legal doctrine called “Chevron deference.”
Ken Flick’s decades-old conviction—for importing and selling counterfeit cassette tapes in 1987—should not result in a lifetime ban from gun ownership.

Americans have the right to self-manufacture those arms that they deem necessary to defend themselves, their loved ones, and their property. But the state of California and gun control activists from the west coast want to end that practice for the entirety of the United States.
Americans have the right to self-manufacture those arms that they deem necessary to defend themselves, their loved ones, and their property. But a handful of progressive cities and gun control activists want to end that practice.
Law-abiding residents of Hawaii want to own folding pocket-knives with split handles, also sometimes known as butterfly knives. But this type of knife is banned in Hawaii. This prohibition violates the Second Amendment-protected right to keep and bear arms, since the word “arms” applies to knives and other bladed weapons.
Embattled Arizona ranching families are making their final stand against the radical environmentalists who are determined to run them off the land. Well-heeled environmentalist groups are chipping away at the right of ranchers to exist—one lawsuit at a time.
American ranchers have a right to make a living off the land, as they have for generations, on Wyoming’s Upper Green River Drift. Under attack from environmental extremists, these ranchers ride with the knowledge that their next cattle drive could be their last.
Even in an emergency, constitutionally protected rights must be defended. New Mexico’s governor shut down the state’s firearms retailers as part of her emergency shut down orders designed to stop the spread of COVID 19. But her order illegally deprives citizens of their Second Amendment protected rights. MSLF filed a lawsuit, on behalf of multiple individuals, firearm retailers, and a litany of Second Amendment advocacy organization, to vindicate those rights.
Tom Paterson’s Spur Ranch Cattle Company is an excellent steward of public grazing lands in New Mexico. But he and dozens of other ranchers are at risk of being put out of business by radical environmentalists and their junk science.
California has imposed many unconstitutional requirements upon handguns to limit purchases. By requiring non-standard or non-existent features, the state has effectively created a ban on handguns. As a result, California residents are being unfairly denied their Second Amendment protected rights.
