Opening Salvo: How Criminals Get Guns :: 08/21/2020
As I’m wedged in the back of an NYPD Strategic Response vehicle, the officers rip through the clogged Manhattan streets on a frostbitten Sunday afternoon. The destination is not the usual crime-plagued pockets of the Bronx or Brooklyn, but the lower east side of the island borough dotted with designer stores and trendy cafes frequented by the fashion elite and the high-rolling banker set.
Vehicle Protest Encounters: Politics, Legal Jeopardy, Defense :: 08/21/2020
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- In the seeming never-ending riots portrayed as “peaceful protests” by the Progressive left, including most of the Media, there are an increasing number of drivers/passengers involved in vehicle encounters with agitators/protestors.
Chris Wallace Defends Biden On Gun Control, Calls AR-15's Weapons Of Mass Destruction :: 08/20/2020
Not the best take from the Fox News Sunday host here. Chris Wallace had some harsh things to say about former president Barak Obama’s speech at the DNC on Wednesday night, noting that Obama spent about a third of his speech talking about things other than his former running mate and the current Democratic presidential nominee, but Wallace’s analysis of the Democrats’ convention went off the rails when he turned to the topic of Joe Biden and gun control.
Dems Embrace Anti-Gun Agenda At Convention, But What About The Campaign Trail? :: 08/20/2020
Wednesday was “Gun Control Day” at the DNC, with anti-gun activists Emma Gonzalez and former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords getting some screen time to push for “common sense gun safety reform.” On today’s Bearing Arms’ Cam & Co, National Review‘s Jim Geraghty joins me to talk about how hard the Democrats will be pushing the issue between now and Election Day, starting with the fact that no matter how hard the Left tries to spin it, the Democrats’ anti-gun agenda is anything but common sense, and has little to do with actual “gun safety.”
Gun Suicides Already Increasing Prior To Pandemic :: 08/20/2020
In response to COVID-19 concerns, many Americans went out and bought a firearm. Since then, the gun surge hasn’t really let up. Then again, riots every night for months on end don’t really make people feel safe enough to go without a gun, by and large.
Joe Biden Does Not Understand the Second Amendment :: 08/20/2020
When it overturned California's 10-round magazine limit last Friday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit emphasized what Americans commonly do when they exercise their constitutional right to armed self-defense. Joe Biden, by contrast, thinks the relevant question is how many shells Americans are allowed to have in their shotguns when they hunt migratory birds.
How A Study Accidentally Proves Gun Control Isn't Needed :: 08/19/2020
“If you ban guns, there won’t be guns for anyone to buy and criminals won’t be able to get them.”
It's Not Just Biden That Doesn't Get Second Amendment :: 08/19/2020
Joe Biden has had a long career in politics. He’s worked his way up the ranks and has reached the office of the vice president of the United States. That’s not too shabby a career, if you look at it from the outside.
Some Still Claiming Higher Capacity Mags Aren't Needed :: 08/19/2020
With the Ninth Circuit ruling that bans on higher capacity magazines was unconstitutional, the court level a massive blow to anti-gunners in some of the most anti-gun states in the country. Hawaii, California, Oregon, and Washington all saw a sacred shibboleth of gun control come crashing down with a proverbial stroke of the pen.
The Nationwide Poll we Believe- You Must Protect Yourself :: 08/19/2020
Pollsters call me and ask me leading questions. More than ever, I refuse to answer. I leave them guessing because this is an election year. I don’t want to be targeted by political advertisements from now until the election. In contrast, there is a massive public poll that I do believe. This poll takes hours to answer and the participants actually have to pay to register their vote. The results of that poll are fascinating as millions of us chose to buy a gun for the first time.
Alabama Self-Defense Case Shows Need For Large Capacity Magazines :: 08/18/2020
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris want to make it a federal crime to own an ammunition magazine that can hold more than ten rounds, but a self-defense story out of Cullman County, Alabama is a perfect example of why the government shouldn’t be imposing arbitrary limits on your ability to protect yourself.
Can Government Place Game Cameras On YOUR Land? Yep :: 08/18/2020
Imagine you’re walking through your land. Maybe it’s your personal land or it’s the land you lease for hunting. Maybe it’s something else. Either way, you’re walking through it and you see something. It’s a game camera secured to a tree.
Manufactured Chaos: The Possible Connection Between Riots and Ballot Harvesting :: 08/18/2020
For leftists, it seems that fear is a perfectly good weapon to use for political purposes. The ongoing riots in Portland — they’ve been going on for 80 straight nights so far — are all about instilling fear in a population that may not share their political views.
Of Course Kamala Harris Supports Gun Confiscation :: 08/18/2020
Fact-checkers try -- and fail -- to distort the new vice-presidential nominee’s gun-control record. There’s already a concerted gaslighting effort underway to convince voters that Kamala Harris, the Democratic Party’s vice-presidential nominee, would never support something as crazy as the confiscation of millions of firearms.
9th Circuit Ruling On Second Amendment May Force John Roberts' Hand; Hampers Biden-Harris :: 08/17/2020
A major decision was released today by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals regarding the Second Amendment. If you weren’t aware, many states limit magazine capacity, with the most common stipulation being nothing over ten rounds. This has been a roundabout way to try to enforce some level of “gun control” in places like California. It’s also an incredibly arbitrary measure. What makes it constitutional to ban eleven rounds but not nine?
Anti-Gun Activists Salivating Over Prospects of Biden/Harris Presidency :: 08/17/2020
While Joe Biden’s campaign has been leading most polls, the former vice-president doesn’t seem to be generating much genuine excitement, even among supporters. With the addition of Sen. Kamala Harris to the campaign, however, at least one group of voters is cheering: gun control activists.

PA Supreme Court to Decide Standing to Challenge Illegal Firearm Ordinances and Regulations :: 08/17/2020
As our viewers are aware, I was successful in securing a monumental victory in September of 2019, when the Commonwealth Court, en banc, in Firearm Owners Against Crime (FOAC), et al., v. City of Harrisburg, et al., overruled its prior precedent and held that it was “untenable” to require a plaintiff to declare in a complaint that he/she has violated or been prosecuted for an enacted ordinance in order to challenge the ordinance. Thereafter, the City of Harrisburg petitioned the PA Supreme Court to review the decision and in April of this year, the PA Supreme Court agreed to hear the question of
Joe Biden on Gun Control: Understanding Biden's 2020 Platform and the Second Amendment :: 08/15/2020
The one-two punch of the Wuhan Coronavirus explosion, and the civil unrest of early 2020, led to an unprecedented growth in firearms ownership in America. All told, there were about two million firearms sold in the month of March 2020 alone. Between March and July, an additional three million were sold, with about half of those happening in the month of June.
The 3D-Printed Gun Isn't Coming. It's Already Here. :: 08/15/2020
On October 9, 2019 - Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish year - a young white man attempted to enter a synagogue in Halle, Germany, with what appeared to be at least six homemade firearms while livestreaming via the gaming platform Twitch. Unable to enter the building, which had about 80 people inside, the man began shooting on the street, killing two and injuring two others. The gunman was a 27-year-old right-wing extremist with anti-Semitic and far-right views who had outlined his beliefs in a “manifesto” he uploaded online shortly before attempting to enter the synagogue. During the confusion following the attack, news outlets reported he had committed the atrocity using a 3D-printed gun.
