While draft registration does involve unequal treatment of men and women, the larger issue is Selective Service registration itself.
The Bias against Advertising
People who dislike markets harbor a special animosity toward advertising as cynically controlling. This is not new.
Gun Owners’ Rights in Danger
Congress has begun another epic crime spree: it is passing new anti-gun legislation and plotting more in the near future. If any of this legislation passes, President Biden will sign it — he’s been bigoted against gun owners his whole political career.
