Permitless Carry to Become Law in the Lone Star State *Peter Suciu* *Guns, Americas* Opponents of “Constitutional Carry” have said it is unsafe as it could encourage untrained or otherwise unqualified individuals to carry a gun.

Known as “Constitutional Carry” by supporters, the new law had passed the Texas Legislature earlier this year.

Even before the last C-17 Globemaster had departed from Hamid Karzai International Airport on August 30, people were focused on the hasty, haphazard, U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan with its equally ungainly departure from Vietnam in April 1975—primarily due to press coverage. Furthermore, critics argue that the United States simply cannot prevail in aiding counterinsurgency operations in distant, faraway places. ... read more

The Supreme Court's Texas abortion decision is a threat to constitutional rights (all of them)Abortion opponents are jubilantabout the Supreme Court’s recent refusalto block a Texas law banning abortion after six weeks. The law was carefully crafted to evade judicial review by empowering private parties, not the state, to enforce it. The law accomplished what its proponents hoped. As soon as it went into effect, most abortions in Texas stopped. But the full reach of the law hasn’t been understood. This decision endangers *all* constitutional rights, not just abortion. When legislatures try to violate constitutional rights, courts routinely issue injunctions forbiddi... read more

MAYBE WE'D BE BETTER OFF IF TRUMP WERE BACK ON TWITTERI don't think this will be true six months from now, but it's unsettling: A new poll has placed former President Donald Trump as the favorite to win the 2024 U.S. election, slightly edging Democratic incumbent Joe Biden. A national Emerson College Poll found that if the two men were to go head-to-head in 2024, Trump would be slightly favored with 47 percent against Biden's 46 percent. Afghanistan has caused Biden's approval rating to drop to the mid-40s. It may not fully recover, but I think it will improve soon.
