Targeted shooting leaves nine injured in San Francisco :: 06/11/2023

According to California governor Gavin Newsom, all it takes to “end gun violence” is to have waiting periods, universal background checks, a ban on gun sales to adults younger than 21, and a total prohibition on so-called “assault weapons”. According to reality, however, states like California can have all those restrictions (and dozens more) and still be home to incidents like this:

Biden Administration Insists That Cannabis Consumers Have No Right to Arms :: 06/09/2023

Washington, DC – -(AmmoLand.com)- After Minnesota became the 23rd state to legalize recreational marijuana last week, the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) issued a familiar warning. Minnesotans who might be inclined to consume cannabis supplied by state-licensed stores, the ATF office in St. Paul said, should recognize that doing so means sacrificing the constitutional right to armed self-defense.

How Long Will Armed Defenders be Second Class Citizens in Chicago? :: 06/09/2023

Politicians and judges treat armed self-defense as a second class right. In Chicago, the elites have their retired cops. The elites have their security guards to protect themselves and their families. The limousine and laptop class don’t ride public transportation. In contrast, we see violent criminals prey on the disarmed middle class and on Chicago’s poor every day. Compare Chicago to the rest of Illinois and we see honest citizens disarmed by regulations and taxes on gun ownership. When compared to the rest of the country, we haven’t seen discrimination this extreme since schools were segregated seven decades ago. Change isn’t easy, but we tackled entrenched racism and sexism. Today, we can easily recognize the right for honest citizens to protect themselves. Chicago politicians repeatedly defy the courts so federal judges may have to enforce the law themselves. As we saw seven decades ago with school desegregation, justice for the bottom of society will make the elites and their spokesmen very uncomfortable.

For anti-gun groups, it will never be enough :: 06/08/2023

Gun control advocates are letting the mask slip :: 06/08/2023

There will always be debate over gun control, no matter what the courts rule going forward. After all, the Bruen decision doesn’t seem to have slowed any anti-gun lawmakers down one bit. They’re just hoping the laws can go into effect for a few years before they get bounced by the Supreme Court.

Report claims US gun death rate reached record levels :: 06/08/2023

In the gun debate, gun deaths tend to be one of the things we focus on. After all, if you’re saying you want to make people safer via gun control, you have to show they’re at some kind of risk to begin with.

Congressmen Forces Vote On Resolution to Disapprove the Pistol Brace Rule :: 06/07/2023

Last week, Rep Andrew Clyde (R-GA) claimed that Republican leadership in the House told him that “it would be very difficult” to support his Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution aimed at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) rule on pistols equipped with stabilizing braces if the Congressman refused to support a procedural vote to raise the debt limit.

The unintended consequences of disarming the People :: 06/07/2023

The American Revolution has many lessons for the People and the government to reflect on. Over taxation is not a good idea. The soon-to-be-expatriated colonists loved their tea, but were willing to toss it in the harbor in defiance. And the People took great exception to the confiscation of arms, cannon, and powder from the magazines. The unintended consequence of the King of England at the time being a jerk resulted in the birth of a new nation. Tyrants have to tyrant and the ATF just became the biggest booster club for Second Amendment organizations, unwittingly.

“Hundreds of White women gathered at the Colorado Capitol Monday morning, with more expected to show up throughout the day, to use their ‘privilege’ in a silent sit-in to demand Gov. Jared Polis ban guns and create a gun buyback program,” CNN “reported,” although “publicized” would be a more accurate term. The fact that the demographics of who racks up these daily body counts in Democrat strongholds like Chicago, St. Louis, and Baltimore was left unstated.

Democratic presidential candidate doesn't want to take guns :: 06/06/2023

Is This What Help Looks Like in Chicago? :: 06/06/2023

Chicago, desperate to do something to try to diminish the violent crime that is ravaging the city, has turned to programs that are not your traditional law enforcement approach to try to help stem the tide. But if the recent Memorial Day weekend is any indication, not only are the programs not working, but one may be contributing to the problem, at least in one apparent incident.
