New York Times: Throw Off Bondage of "Evil" Constitution

By |2020-04-23T21:57:07-04:00January 2nd, 2013|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on January 1, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

The biggest liberal newspaper in the country has printed a column from a top progressive scholar calling on the American people to ignore the Constitution with its “evil provisions,” revealing the far-left agenda for what it is and making sense of several major actions of the Obama administration.

Those who love liberty and our Constitution need to speak up and be heard. The Constitution is the cornerstone of the United States of America as a nation. It holds us together, gives us our national […]

"Assault Weapon" Is Just a PR Stunt Meant to Fool the Gullible

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00December 30th, 2012|

This column by ACRU General Counsel and Senior Fellow for the Carleson Center for Public Policy (CCPP) Peter Ferrara was published December 28, 2012 on Forbes.com.

Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) has announced that she will be introducing legislation to reenact the ban on so-called assault weapons that she authored in 1994. The evidence is in on the effect of her previous assault weapons ban: zero, zilch, nada, as the saying goes. The ban made no perceptible difference in the gun violence statistics when it went into effect, and no perceptible difference when it was allowed to expire 10 years later, in 2003.

Seventh Circuit Rules in NRA's Favor in Illinois Gun Law Case

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00December 13th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on December 5, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

The National Rifle Association just won a major court case in Chicago, providing a huge victory for Second Amendment proponents and gun owners.

Illinois is one of the most anti-gun states in America. Its hostility toward the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms is demonstrated in a state law that forbids the carrying of firearms outside the home. There are narrow exceptions for classes of persons such as police officers, or under restrictions that keep the firearm from being readily usable, such […]

WRONG: Media Claiming Scalia Said SCOTUS to Limit Second Amendment

By |2020-04-23T21:53:44-04:00August 2nd, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published July 30, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Some in the media–including conservative media–are claiming that conservative Justice Antonin Scalia is saying the Supreme Court can limit the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.

That’s not exactly what he said.

Scalia has a new book, and he was on Fox News Sunday to discuss it. Given how rarely justices give general-media interviews, it was predictable that host Chris Wallace took most of his time trying to draw Scalia out on hot-button issues, from the Court’s 5-4 (incorrect) decision upholding most of Obamacare, to abortion […]

Supreme Court Might Not Enforce Constitution's Limits in Second Obama Term

By |2020-04-23T21:53:45-04:00July 17th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell and ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published on July 13, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Public officials and pundits are still digesting the Supreme Court’s Obamacare decision in NFIB v. Sebelius. Yet to be discussed are the extraordinary implications for the size and role of government in a second Obama term in light of President Obama’s new stump speech. It is clear there is not a reliable majority on the Court to restrain government power by enforcing the limits imposed by the Constitution.

Most provisions in the Constitution fall into two categories. The […]

Constitution's Limits Threaten in an Obama Second Term

Tea Party Wave Could Carry Texas Senate Seat for Ted Cruz

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00May 27th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 25, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Constantly underestimated by the Republican establishment, the Tea Party continues to prove its power in GOP primaries. First Indiana, then Nebraska. And now new polls show rising conservative star Ted Cruz potentially poised to beat ultra-wealthy Lt. Governor David Dewhurst for the open U.S. Senate seat in Texas in a classic David v. Goliath match-up.

Ted Cruz’s bio looks like he’s a character from a script for an “only in America” movie story. A Hispanic, he was born to a Cuban father who was imprisoned […]

Fast and Furious: Why Eric Holder Will Lose the Legal Fight

By |2020-04-23T21:54:00-04:00May 17th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 17, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Federal courts could soon decide a fight between Congress and Attorney General Eric Holder on the Operation Fast and Furious gun-running scandal. If Republicans persevere, this is a battle that Holder should lose in what would be a humiliating defeat for President Barack Obama.

Most Americans have now heard that our government allowed drug cartels to illegally smuggle thousands of guns from the U.S. into Mexico. The National Rifle Association has relentlessly pursued the White House and Department of Justice (DOJ) about Fast and Furious […]

NRA CEO LaPierre Rallies Conservatives at Massive Gun Rights Convention

By |2020-04-23T21:54:01-04:00May 3rd, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published May 2, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

“Our Founding Fathers enshrined the Second Amendment for one purpose: survival. Survival of each citizen. Survival of a nation.” With those words as his theme, the longest-serving head of the National Rifle Association (NRA)–CEO Wayne LaPierre–trumpeted unity for all conservatives going into the 2012 presidential election.

The NRA held its 141st Annual Meeting in April in St. Louis. Over 70,000 members of the oldest and largest civil-rights organization in America gathered from across the nation. They heard speeches from presidential candidates Mitt Romney, Rick Santorum, […]

The Truth about 'Stand Your Ground' Laws

By |2020-04-23T21:54:01-04:00April 10th, 2012|

This column by ACRU Senior Fellow Ken Blackwell and ACRU Senior Legal Analyst Ken Klukowski was published April 10, 2012 on Breitbart.com.

Sadly, some are exploiting the Trayvon Martin shooting to target self-defense laws that protect innocent lives. These statutes safeguard law-abiding and peaceable citizens, and are not to blame in the tragic Florida incident. Stand Your Ground laws did not apply in that situation, and statements to the contrary are irresponsible and misinformed.

In some states, the law imposes a duty to retreat from physical confrontations. Whether in your home or on the street, if you stand and fight, you […]
