CPRC’s Lott Calls Out Wall Street Journal’s Fear Mongering Over Concealed Carry | Mark Chesnut, Dec 23, 2025
To Lott, whose organizations has done more research on armed self-defense than any other group, quickly debunked the main theme of the story.
“… with more than 1.6 million defensive gun uses each year, almost 21 million permit holders, and 29 constitutional-carry states where a permit to carry isn’t necessary, four cases over four years offers little perspective,” Lott wrote. “Even worse, only two of the four cases even involve people who were legally carrying concealed handguns in public (one case each from Massachusetts and Michigan). In the Ohio case, the convenience store employee had the gun at her workplace, so concealed-carry laws didn’t apply. In the California case, the state required a permit, but there is no evidence that the individual had a permit.”
As Lott further explained, the article also wrongly made constitutional, or “permitless,” carry the culprit in the article, which makes no sense given the context.
“The Wall Street Journal article warns about the dangers of constitutional carry (what it calls ‘permitless carry’) and quotes gun-control advocates claiming that ‘When untrained or panicked shooters miss their target, it’s children, neighbors and bystanders who pay the price,’” Lott wrote. “Yet, not a single one of the article’s examples involved constitutional carry.” https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/john-lott-debunks-wsj-concealed-carry-lies/

Citizens and Naturalized Foreigners Can Vote For National Offices.
Non-citizen Immigrants Can’t
Here’s the bottom line info:
[From a US government website]
[Article I, Section 8, Clause 4:
[The Congress shall have Power . . . ] To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States; . . .
Article I, Section 8, Clause 4 of the Constitution provides Congress with the “power . . . To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization . . .throughout the United States.”1 The Supreme Court has described naturalization as “the act of adopting a foreigner, and clothing him with the privileges of a native citizen.”2 Pursuant to this authority, Congress may legislate terms and conditions by which a foreign-born national (alien) may become a U.S. citizen.3 Moreover, Congress’s power over naturalization is exclusive; states may not impose their own terms and conditions by which aliens may become U.S. citizens.4 Based on this broad power, Congress has enacted a series of laws governing the naturalization of aliens in the United States since the end of the eighteenth century.5 These naturalization laws have generally applied to three main categories of aliens: (1) those who have resided in the United States for certain periods of time and applied for naturalization; (2) those born abroad to U.S. citizen parents; and (3) those who derived citizenship after their parents naturalized in the United States.]
Note these key legal standards:
I. The Constitution distinguishes “citizens” from non-citizen foreign born residents, regardless of their legal or illegal residence status.
II. Only citizens have the right to vote for national offices. Non-citizen (“aliens”) do not have the voting rights of citizens.
III. Non-citizens (those from foreign countries) may become “naturalized” citizens, if they qualify, and thus gain full citizenship rights.
IV. States lack the power to convert non-citizens into citizens, only the US Congress can pass such laws.
States conduct elections within each state, within the bounds defined in the Constitution. States MAY have voting qualifications different from what the Constitution establishes for national offices for their state offices and for counties and cities established under state laws.
However, a state MAY NOT diverge from the Constitution limiting voting for national office to “citizens”.
Clearly, states MUST thus determine the citizenship status of all those wishing to vote, to ensure that no non-citizen votes for national offices. If states DO NOT prevent aliens from voting for national office, national office election results from those states are invalid, and should be rejected.
States which deliberately allow non-citizens to vote for national offices should be treated as insurrectionist.
I think this means that the US Congress MUST NOT seat members from states where illegal aliens were allowed to vote.
AND:
Presidential electors from states that allowed illegal aliens to vote for national offices should not be counted in electoral voting for President and Vice President.
I’m sure that within the millions of pages of laws passed by Congress that there are laws that let the federal government enforce these Constitutional voting laws upon insurrectionist states.
Here’s hoping Trump makes his Attorney General enforce these laws.
Here’s hoping Congress has the courage to reject election results from states that allowed illegal aliens to vote for national office. I doubt that cowardly RINOs and Liberal run states have such courage, as they lack love for our Founder’s glorious Constitution.
MAGA must crush insurrectionist if we are ever to Make America Great Again.
