The Right-To-Carry Revolution and SCOTUS :: 02/06/2021
With the state of Utah poised to become the 17th state in the Union to adopt permitless or Constitutional Carry, the right-to-carry revolution is gaining ground at a critically important time. In just a matter of weeks the Supreme Court is set to consider accepting a challenge to New York’s far more restrictive and subjective carry laws called New York State Rifle & Pistol Association vs. Cortlett, and Utah’s move to strengthen the right to bear arms is more evidence that New York’s own gun licensing laws are an unconstitutional anomaly that should be struck down.
This Draconian Bill Would Turn Millions of Peaceful Gun Owners Into Felons :: 02/06/2021
A gun control bill that Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D–Texas) recently introduced gives you an idea of what Democrats might do if they did not have to worry about the Second Amendment. The Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act would establish a national database that is supposed to include every gun in the country, make it a felony to own a firearm or ammunition without a license from the Justice Department, ban magazines that hold more than 10 rounds and "ammunition that is 0.50 caliber or greater," and criminalize possession of a "military-style weapon" without a special license. Violating the bill's provisions would be punishable by hefty fines and long minimum prison sentences, which Lee ordinarily claims to oppose.

Judge Gives Green Light To Lawsuit Against Philly PD Gun Permit Unit :: 02/05/2021
Over the past year we’ve written extensively about the long delays for gun permits and concealed carry licenses in jurisdictions from coast-to-coast, including Philadelphia, where the closing of the police department’s Gun Permit Unit helped to create a months-long backlog of applicants who’ve been forced to wait in a legal limbo as a result. Only after a lawsuit was filed did the GPU re-open for business, though by appointment only.

Facebook Removes Pro-2A Organization’s Page Again, With No Explanation :: 02/03/2021
Yesterday was Groundhog Day, a day that actually means remarkably little to many of us–I mean, who actually believes the weather is beholden to whether a groundhog sees his or her shadow on a particular day of the year, anyway?–but the movie that shares its name may be a different matter. After all, the premise of the film is that Bill Murray must relive the same day over and over again.
Gun Control's Unholy Union With Hollywood Is Too Rich :: 02/03/2021
Gun control groups are recruiting Hollywood elites to sell the reasons why more gun control is necessary. Never mind these same Tinseltowners live within gated, secure neighborhoods and often pay for private security details whenever they feel like it. They haven’t learned the lessons that nothing is more off-putting than Hollywood hypocrisy, so they’re going for a sequel.

Don’t Expect Ammo Shortage To End Anytime Soon :: 02/02/2021
One of the most annoying things happening right now for most gun owners isn’t the lack of guns at their local gun store–that may inconvenience them, sure, but that’s more of an issue for people who want their first gun, not for most people who already have firearms–it’s the lack of ammunition.
