• Veterans have come to Kaepernick’s defense against his critics.
• In a bizarre ruling, the 9th Circuit ruled that medical marijuana patients have no second amendment rights and can be denied the right to purchase a gun.
• The Atlantic’s Conor Friedsersdorf offers this excellent take on political correctness on college campuses and how it chills speech.
