Bloomberg and Soros didn’t even bother digging into their own wallets–isn’t that neat? Those two are among the bigger names arrayed against the Second Amendment, and they’re also among the wealthiest. They’ve been funding anti-gun groups and politicians for decades … or have they? It seems that infringing on our rights just wasn’t enough for…
“Invictus,” my rosy-red fundament. The Canadians have conquered themselves. “Invictus” means “unconquered” in Latin, and it’s a particularly ironic way to title a Canadian winter-sports event. What’s amazing about Canada is that it has always had very low violent crime rates, both before and after it banned handguns. In addition to that, most of the…
They’ve introduced legislation like this before, and it has failed. This time might be different. Recently, U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson’s (R-N.C.) introded a new Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025, H.R. 38. In a nutshell, this act forces states to treat concealed-carry permits the same way they do driver’s licenses: e.g., your Nebraska license is…
Ever read “Bonfire of the Vanities”? As the unofficial center of the free world, New York City has also represented a gun-banner’s daydream since it adopted the Sullivan Act over 100 years ago. When its mayor takes a tough-on-crime approach, as Rudy Giuliani did in the early ’00s, life in the city isn’t all that…
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Every accusation leveled at pro-gun pols is actually a confession from the accuser. When we were told that Donald Trump was set to usher in a new age of anti-Constitutional authoritarianism if he were elected, that was a confession. When we were told that he will…
Imagine being so unhinged you’d stop donations going to a children’s hospital because you didn’t like how the funds were raised. For gun banners, that’s not a thought exercise–it’s their everyday reality. Imagine taking every single social interaction and weighing it based on whether it conforms to your political party’s platform. For anti-gunners, that’s how…
When Massad Ayoob talks gun rights, people listen. He’ll tell you how to do the same. He’s the author of In the Gravest Extreme, which is one of the Ur-texts of gun rights and self-defense. He’s been teaching self-defense techniques since 1974. For those not old enough to recall the 1970s and 1980s, it wasn’t…
This is why there have been so few interviews with Governor A-Walz … he’s no better than Kamala on camera. It’s only been a couple of days since JD Vance mopped the floor with Tim Walz in the first (and likely only) vice-presidential debate, but in the 24/7 news cycle, that’s an eternity. And, in…
Why do otherwise intelligent-seeming Americans think there’s no such thing as “good guys with guns”? That question haunts a lot of Second Amendment advocates, including me. I’m not talking about anti-gun mouthpieces, but ordinary citizens who have become convinced that having a gun makes you umpteen-diddly-thousand percent more likely to hurt yourself with it than…
It would be a policy of “you can keep your Second Amendment, if you can afford it.” As the 2024 Democratic National Convention comes to a close, many observers noted that the speakers didn’t spend much time at all on their nominee’s actual plans for the country should she be elected. Instead, most of the…
For all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: “CCRKBA Was Right Again.” It’s been said that the four most hateful words in the English language are “I told you so.” Thing is, sometimes you just have to say them, especially if the thing you told them would have prevented a tragedy…
We, as a society, have defined “dangerous” down. That’s a bad thing. When most of us–even the most dedicated pro-2A activists–hear about gun laws that prevent convicted felons from possessing firearms, we shrug. That’s because most of us have a different definition of a “felon” than much of the U.S. government. As NRA’s Institute for…
