Smells Like Infringement
Federal overreach tracked case by case — ATF rulemaking, DOJ lawsuits, import freezes, and the regulations that keep testing the limits of the Second Amendment.

This isn’t a conspiracy theory. These are facts. Right now, 14 American state Attorneys General are joining in a lawsuit that was launched by a foreign nation–Mexico–against American gun manufacturers. In the below article, the National Shooting Sports Foundation‘s Larry Keane details who those state Attorneys General are and exactly how much money they have…

For coming up on two decades now, anti-gunners have been touting so-called “smart guns” as a way to end crimes in America that are perpetrated using guns. For coming up on two decades now, that “smart” technology has been held back by the principal for poor grades. But because there’s no dumb gun-banning idea that…

Hmm, what’s that smell? Why, it’s infringement! Some time ago, the state of New York had a list of potential ways to cut down on crimes committed using firearms. Out of the obvious possibilities (holding the criminal responsible with serious prison time for those crimes is one that comes to mind), New York went with…

The Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has noticed something interesting! __________________________________________________________________ Reports from Afghanistan have revealed the Taliban has been confiscating privately-held firearms on the grounds people don’t need them for safety, which sounds frighteningly similar to arguments Joe Biden has made in support of a ban on semi-auto rifles…

Note: The following article comes to us from the National Shooting Sports Foundation. CONGRESSMAN DESPISES GUNS, LOVES GUN TAX DOLLARS By Larry Keane Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sure loves some of that sin-tax money. That’s the kind of money when a Member of Congress wants to ban things but can’t. So they go to their…

“California’s dumbest new gun law” is a bold claim, we know… Just as much Scottish cuisine is apparently based on a schoolyard dare, most of California’s gun laws seem to be based on a schoolyard taunt. California’s gun owners are well aware that their state government thinks they have cooties. They’re pretty used to being…

“Microstamping” is one of the gun-grabbers’ biggest “gimmes.” Over the years, American anti-gunners have spent a great deal of time, money, and political capital trying to get laws passed that mandate “microstamping.” It’s a technology that, even in theory, is unlikely to ever solve any crimes and will only serve as a terrible burden on…

What’s that smell? Infringement! It’s a mistake to think that former Vice President Joe Biden’s radical antigun campaign stops with the banning and confiscation of AR-15-style rifles and high-capacity magazines. The fact is that the Biden/Harris ticket has a multipronged strategy to end the Right to Keep and Bear Arms as we understand it in…

We live in a time when, every single time a horrific crime is committed with a gun, the media rushes out to blame…well, all of the people who didn’t do it. But why? Of course, nobody’s talking–but I have a few ideas on the matter… The Charitable Explanation The charitable explanation is that it’s just…

Update, August 20, 2026: the federal rule that grew out of this era of “ghost gun” litigation has now been partly undone. On August 17, 2026 a federal judge held the ATF’s 2022 Frame or Receiver Rule unconstitutional — though only as applied to specific plaintiffs and products. Read the 2026 ruling. The anti-gunners are…

About six weeks ago, we asked you to listen for the dog that yelps the loudest about guns at protests. My grandmother used to say, “Throw a rock into a pack of dogs; the one that yelps the loudest is the one you hit,” and right now we’re hearing some very informative yelps. The rock,…

If you’re curious about the “Metamorphosis” the anti-gunners are planning for our Second Amendment, look to the Left Coast. For decades, the gun owners of California have been warning the rest of us that what has been done (and is still being done) to them isn’t just their bad luck, but rather a harbinger of…
