New Mexico’s “Public Health Emergency” a Result of Failed Progressive Policies, Not Guns :: 09/20/2023
Legal gun owners are having their Second Amendment rights trampled on once again because progressive programs that embraced social justice, racial healing, and equity have failed, and a democrat governor will not admit it.
Congressional Gun Control Activists Still Wishing For A Presidential Miracle :: 09/19/2023

Delays, denials, and a new lawsuit: New York's background checks on ammo sales off to a rough start :: 09/19/2023
Buying ammunition used to be a relatively simple procedure in New York. You went into a gun store or other retailer, picked up what you wanted, paid for it, and walked out the door. Starting last week, however, all ammo sales must go through a background check conducted by the National Instant Check System with the New York State Police serving as a middleman between ammo sellers and the FBI’s background check system.
New Mexico’s Governor is Not an Outlier, Raskin is Worse :: 09/19/2023
New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham’s outrageous executive order suspending the right to arms in the name of a “Health Emergency” is just the latest and most blatant example of how far off the rails Democrats have gone on the issues of gun control, the Second Amendment, the First Amendment, and the Constitution in general.

In wake of Liberty Safe ‘debacle,’ patriot from Garden State queries Champion :: 09/18/2023
The Liberty Safe story has been covered by nearly every active contributor of Bearing Arms, and for good reason. The quandary between what happened and whether or not Liberty did “the right thing” will haunt PR officials and corporate policy creators for decades. Did Liberty go far enough with damage control efforts and what about donations they may have made? All questions my colleagues have asked. Cam reported about Liberty’s policies finding themselves in the crosshairs of the Missouri attorney general and Ranjit asks what about other safe manufactures. After seeing a post on social media from a New Jersey patriot who gave me permission to use his first name, Dominic, I’m going to take a crack at weighing in on the debate and get Ranjit the answer to his question per one manufacturer.

FBI Data on Active Shootings Is Misleading :: 09/15/2023
Americans are constantly debating policing and gun control. But to discuss these issues, we have to depend on government crime data. Unfortunately, politics has infected the data handling of agencies such as the FBI and the Centers for Disease Control.

New Mexico's Governor Reveals Empirical Ambitions, Constitutional Contempt :: 09/15/2023
New Mexico’s Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham created a Constitutional crisis when she published an emergency public health order banning law-abiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights. Or – she didn’t. She may have revealed that she’s nothing more than an emperor with no clothing.
N.M. Governor Seeks to 'Name-and-Shame' Firearm Manufacturers Through Emergency Order :: 09/15/2023
New Mexico’s Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham kicked the hornet’s nest when she published her emergency public health order that attempts to neuter the Second Amendment and force standardless firearm retailer “inspections.” The order is Constitutionally baseless and there are no laws or regulations giving the state’s Regulation and Licensing Department authority to inspect federally licensed firearm retailers. That’s not all the order is attempting to do, however.
Rep. Swalwell Demands Gun Bans. Again. :: 09/15/2023
For U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), some things will never get old, like calling for a complete ban on America’s most popular semiautomatic rifle, the Modern Sporting Rifle (MSR). Or ignoring criminals. Or taking to social media immediately after a tragedy, before facts are known, and pushing for more gun control.
Impeach Michelle Lujan Grisham. For the children. :: 09/14/2023
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham has had a bad few days. She overstepped the powers granted to her by the New Mexico State Constitution and suspended the right of New Mexicans to bear arms, but “only” for a 30-day window and “only” in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, because of a public health emergency that she divined into existence.
Media Will Do Whatever It Takes to Blame Firearm Industry :: 09/14/2023
There’s peril when media sets out to confirm a narrative instead of reporting facts. Whether it’s criminal violence in America perpetrated by a deranged lunatic, or by violent drug cartels in countries beyond our borders, some media outlets will find the flawed logic to argue it is American companies that should be punished.
No, Gun-Control Groups Don't Care What Causes Mass Shootings :: 09/14/2023
The Biden administration has already put nearly 2,000 gun sellers out of business in just two years. Just a few years ago, a lawsuit helped drive the 200-year-old Remington Arms into bankruptcy. But activists won’t stop suing gun shops and anyone else that comes close to the industry.
