The Second Amendment Foundation shares an update from The White House on cutting CDC staff, who have absolutely nothing to do regarding our Second Amendment! After all, what business does the Center for Disease Control have to do with our Constitutional right to bear arms???
One should ask the question “why” is the Centers for Disease Control involved IN ANY WAY with our Second Amendment rights? Surely it’s by “design” and globalist agenda against the American people to utterly destroy America! Secondly, we should address the issue of this made up term “gun violence”. A firearm is an inanimate object and therefore, incapable of any action on it’s own! Most reasonable thinkers understand this is nothing more than manipulation of repeating such a term to make it effective and enhance their cause.
However, if we applied the same principal to car violence, we’d have every automobile manufacturer throwing darts at those who say any car accident, is “car violence” and must stop! I say it’s past time to stand up against this RHETORIC and shout our a BIG THANK YOU to SAF!
Here’s their post and update:
“BELLEVUE, Wash. — April 7, 2025 — While the gun prohibition lobby is lamenting reported reductions in staff at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Second Amendment Foundation is applauding the Trump administration cuts, which will hopefully take the CDC out of the gun control arena, at least for the foreseeable future.
“With these reductions,” said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “the government is no longer treating gun ownership as a communicable disease.”
The staff reductions, announced by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., have caused tremors within the gun control community. Critics are complaining the cuts will undermine the federal government’s ability to combat so-called “gun violence” research.
“Ever since the CDC inserted itself into the gun rights debate,” Gottlieb observed, “the agency has spent millions of dollars to promote the notion that gun-related violence is a public health issue, and they’ve mostly gotten away with it, thanks largely to their allies in the media treating everything they say as gospel. But it’s not a ‘health crisis,’ it’s a crime problem, and the antidote is not restricting the rights of law-abiding gun owners, which CDC research invariably seems to suggest, but instead restricting the freedom of violent repeat offenders.
“One complaint we’ve heard is that these cuts have ‘decimated’ staff responsible for so-called ‘gun violence research and prevention,’ but so far all of this research does not appear to have prevented a single violent crime,” he stated. “Instead, we see declarations that more research is needed, while anti-gunners use CDC data to erode Second Amendment rights. That sounds like a perpetual ‘make work’ effort to keep the public funding flowing while gun owners are essentially treated like plague carriers, or lepers.”

Hey, the weather’s turning warming and the days are longer and that means Spring Break with the family is upon us. The kids will be out of school soon and thankfully the traffic will better for those of us who are staying put… or for those who have to work.
Either way, one thing we’re all attached to these days and we don’t want to forget wherever we go is our phone. And not just because we feel lost without our phones or that we can’t scroll social media and we might miss a text from a loved one, but it’s actually more about the risk exposure to our privacy than the inconvenience of being “phone-less”.
Here are a few safety features to enable before you head out of town. We need to be cautious of data breaches, stolen identity and our personal privacy. With so much of our lives turning digital, this should be more of a priority than not.
1. Enable theft protection on your phone such as “find my phone” and Theft Protection or Enable Stolen device. These settings can be found in your main phone setting. If your phone detects it’s been stolen (ie quick movement away and changes of Wi-Fi connections) the phone with lock, keeping your data away from the theft.
2.Turn on advanced data protection.
“Apple encrypts iCloud data like photos and messages, while Googles Advanced Protection secures sensitive Android data. Ensure your device is updated and enable these options in account settings.” from Technology Times.
3. Use a Passkey or Biometrics to access your phone to eliminate password risks.
Taking a few steps to protect yourself before your trip will ensure your date stays safe while you’re enjoying your Spring Break or where ever you’re traveling. We must know have to consider all possible ways in staying safe.
International Women’s Day is March 8, 2025 and to celebrate all you strong and empowered women – we’re celebrating some strong women shooters who’ve paved the way and has helped each of us with their passion for firearms.
Sometimes we tend to take things for granted… and we forget our history of those who’ve gone before us. Once upon a time, women didn’t have many rights, we couldn’t even vote. But thankfully for some strong women in 1848.
In 1848, we already had some outspoken women activists like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. They were early on the scene to demand civil, social, political and religious rights for women proclaiming that all men and women were equal.
Now, that sounds familiar, like a line taken from our Declaration of Independence! (“We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men were created equal and endowed by their Creator…). For those who need clarifying that the use of “men” is for mankind. Silly but necessary these days to have to say that… but I digress.
Back to Celebrating Women and those like Abigail Kincaid (1911-2006). “A competitive target shooter for over 50 years, she invented a trigger guard which revolutionized the world of shooting and gun safety. Her dedication to competition shooting led her to train with other greats like Annie Oakley and compete in matches all over the world.”
What an impact Abigail Kincaid has made to the shooting sports! She even has a dress named after her, Abigail concealed carry dress, and our Strix Bellyband includes a built in trigger guard for safety.
We’d like to shout out other great women. like Julie Golob, Kim Rhode and Lena Miculek, who do so much to for the shooting sports and for women shooters alike. It’s great to celebrate these women because if they can do it – it shows that you can as well.
We are all on a personal journey for our safety and to uphold the importance of our Second Amendment rights.

People watching can be an interesting experience and is something that behavior experts often do. Recently, one expert and colleague, Terry Vaughn noticed while most travelers where clueless about their surroundings, one woman in particular stuck out. Why? What was it among all the people at the airport gate that caught Mr.Vaughn’s attention?
Here are three questions he often asks himself when in public or crowded areas:
1. What do I expect to see?
2. What do I not expect to see?
3. What’s missing?
“Body language nearly always reveals internal thoughts and emotions. The challenge is that most people aren’t paying attention until it becomes too obvious to ignore.
The world isn’t always out to get you, but it doesn’t hurt to notice the things that don’t belong. Whether you’re leading a company or navigating life, attention to detail is never wasted”.
I think these are great questions in develop a habit of asking when we go places. Will you remember to look around the next time you’re at a restaurant or shopping mall; gone to the movies or a sports game?
