Seven Powerful Minutes: Virginia Lawmaker Offers Impassioned Defense of Second Amendment

Until this week, I'd never heard of Nick Freitas, an Iraq war veteran and a Republican member of Virginia's House of Delegates. But several people have sent me the clip below of his floor speech from earlier this month, in which he strenuously defends the Second Amendment in the wake of the Parkland massacre. He also calls out the anti-gun Left over some of their policy preferences, and especially over their 'end of discussion'-style debating tactics -- which prevent the sort of "open and honest" debate lawmakers on both sides often claim to desire. One doesn't need to find every one of his points entirely compelling in order to share his palpable frustration with the opposition party's incessant impugning of motives in these discussions. And one doesn't need to be an unwavering opponent of any and all new gun regulations to at least partially relate to his candidly-stated concern that Second Amendment supporters do not trust their counterparts to limit proposed restrictions to a handful of relatively small changes.

Good man.

Good man.
Yes, he is. My brother knows him personally.
He's an Army veteran who served two tours in Iraq. He's running for U.S. Senate. If anyone wants to support him, by volunteering or contributing, or to learn more, go to

It is amazing how speaking the Gods honest truth can trigger so many of the weak minded people in the opposition party in Virginia...or for that matter, in the country.

Worth a *bump* - hopefully everyone "visiting' will take the time to listen to his speech.
