With the National Rifle Association having been weakened in recent years due to scandal-ridden mismanagement, gun control extremists have hoped they might finally have a chance in Congress. But the mainstream media are finally discovering what we have long known - the gun rights "tent" is very, very large, and the NRA is but one of many tent poles. From a CNN article entitled, " The fight against...

7:00am Tuesday, May 25, 2021
We recently reported on a proposal by the ATF to change the definition of frame or receiver and alter federal marking requirements for firearms.

Assault on Firearms Industry Continues

7:00am Monday, May 24, 2021
Joe Biden mentioned a number of the anti-gun goals he has set during his recent address to Congress, but for some reason, he did not mention his support for bankrupting the firearms industry through endless, meritless lawsuits. This is an odd oversight, considering he mentioned that, if he could be granted only one anti-gun accomplishment by God, this is what he would ask for. The comment was...

New York Times Throws ATF Pity Party

7:00am Friday, May 21, 2021
It’s time once again for that lamest of all biennial traditions – the publication of a lengthy New York Times or Washington Post opinion piece disguised as news that commiserates about the purportedly beleaguered state of the ever-so valiant Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). As if taking direction directly from the Democratic National Committee, the institutional gun...

Biden Goes All in On Calls for Extreme Gun Control

7:00am Wednesday, May 19, 2021
President Biden dropped any pretense at “moderation” in his first address to a joint session of Congress since assuming the presidency. However much he tried to pad the early parts of his speech with bland, feel-good rhetoric, his remarks on gun control demonstrate that he is radical, out of touch, ill-informed, and bent on persecuting his political enemies over prioritizing important issues of...

Hunter Biden Incident Shows that Gun Laws are for the Little People

7:00am Monday, May 17, 2021
There is a central hypocrisy at the heart of the gun control effort. High-profile gun control-supporting politicians, the Hollywood elite, and billionaire tycoons, will advocate to strip ordinary Americans of their right to defend themselves and their family, all the while enjoying the security that armed men with guns provide. As Hunter Biden’s 2018 firearm incident shows, this hypocrisy extends...

Permitless Carry Wave Sweeps the Nation

7:00am Friday, May 14, 2021
Gun control advocates seem conflicted recently about how to mischaracterize the NRA.

Whatever they try to tell you, the numbers don’t lie. The strength of our pro-gun advocacy efforts and the peoples’ support for the right to...

Preventing School Shootings: Observe…Investigate…Intercede

7:00am Friday, May 07, 2021
The U.S. Secret Service National Threat Assessment Center recently released a report on targeted school violence that didn’t seem to get much attention from the media. After reading it, we can understand why, as it doesn’t easily fit into the standard legacy media paradigm of exploiting tragedy to “prove” that guns are bad, and we need new laws to further restrict access to them. This report...

Focusing Gun Owners’ Political Strength – All PACs Are Local

by MarkPA
7:00am Wednesday, May 05, 2021
We are constantly told that it is only big money that counts in politics. Perhaps this is so. But what if that’s merely an intimidation tactic? By convincing your enemy that you have the invincible weapon, your enemy will shrink from the fight.

State Outright Recognition for Right-to-Carry Permits Helps Protect All Gun Owners

7:00am Tuesday, May 04, 2021
Longtime gun rights supporters know that gun owners need to stick together. Over/under shotgun and revolver aficionados help to fight semi-automatic bans, because their guns would be next on the chopping block.
