Leftist wonk blames GOP, NRA for shooting near baseball game :: 04/28/2022
The Republican Party has its issues. I don’t agree with everything they do or say on a number of issues, but on guns, they tend to get it right. The GOP screws up on it some, but not nearly as much as Democrats do.

There's No Such Thing as Ghost Guns :: 04/28/2022

Edmonds Preemption Victory Was Defeat for Everytown Anti-Gun Lobby :: 04/26/2022

How Can Second Amendment Supporters Go On Offense? :: 04/26/2022

O'Rourke experiences cancel culture, Texas-style :: 04/26/2022

Grassley: ‘Dems Refuse to Take Responsibility for Rising Crime’ :: 04/25/2022
In a sometimes bristling letter to Joe Biden, veteran U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley (R-IA) has thrown down a gauntlet, advising the president, “It is disturbing to see Democrats refuse to take responsibility for the rising crime rate and find other people to blame, such as lawful firearms owners.”
How guns have become a huge issue in the PA Senate race :: 04/25/2022
Tonight the Republicans vying to replace retiring U.S. Senator Pat Toomey will square off on a debate stage, and I suspect that Dr. Mehmet Oz’s past support for new gun control laws will be a major line of attack for several of the candidates on the debate stage. Oz has been running neck and neck with former hedge fund manager David McCormick, but the first poll conducted in the state after Donald Trump’s endorsement of the celebrity doctor showed him with a three point lead over McCormick, with political commentator Kathy Barnette and former U.S. ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands the only other candidates polling in double digits.
Is Maryland’s Attorney General Ignorant or Dishonest? :: 04/25/2022
The Maryland Attorney General filed a recent amicus brief with the US Supreme Court. Attorney General Brian Frosh said that the state is justified in banning modern rifles because those weapons have been used to commit mass murder. AG Frosh mentions violent attacks that happened outside of Maryland. For some reason, the Attorney General failed to mention the far larger number of cases where honest citizens used a rifle for justified self-defense. If this is an omission then it is an oversight the size of the Grand Canyon.
Victory in Washington Preemption Case :: 04/25/2022

In a unanimous opinion, the Court ruled that the City of Edmonds’ storage ordinances violated the state’s preemption law.

Biden's war on gun not playing well with public :: 04/23/2022
President Joe Biden pays lip service to the Second Amendment. Most politicians do, of course. After all, they know that many Americans aren’t comfortable with a total gun ban, if for no other reason than it’s undebatable that the Constitution prevents exactly that.
Chicago man on house arrest had two stolen guns in home :: 04/23/2022
It could be said we pick on the city of Chicago a lot here. After all, we’re pretty hard on them much of the time. It’s easy to see why some might think we’ve got a bone to pick with the city.
Dem candidates call for gun bans and more in first PA Senate debate :: 04/23/2022
Three of the Democratic candidates for the U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania met on a debate stage for the first time on Thursday night, and while there were some slight differences in how each of them approached the issue of “gun violence,” they’re pretty much on the same page when it comes to gun control: they like it, they love it, they want a lot more of it.

U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- In the law of self-defense of almost all states, If a person is attacked, and reasonably fears for their life, they may legally defend themselves with deadly force.

Crime rates drop after prosecutor focuses on repeat violent offenders :: 04/22/2022
Gun control activists insist that by reducing the supply of firearms available to criminals, we can dramatically reduce violent crime, though they’ve never been able to adequately explain how exactly that’s supposed to work in a nation with 400-million firearms, 100-million gun owners, and the constitutionally-protected right to keep and bear arms.
