Beware the coming storm, borne on the jetstream from the Left Coast, flooding California with salty tears and plenty of hot air! The Second Amendment Foundation has just reported a big win for gun rights in California (of all places). The long and short of it is that California has (up until now) denied gun…
I suspect New York State is about to enter the “found out” phase of FA/FO, courtesy of GOA and GOF … If you’ve been reading the news, you know that New York is absolutely determined to thumb its nose at the Supreme Court by finding increasingly ridiculous “reasons” to ignore the plain text of the…
This is what anti-gunners actually believe. Every now and then, a gun-grabber will (usually by accident) give us some genuine insight into their thought processes. From Carolyn McCarthy’s “shoulder thing that goes up,” to the time that NBC news reporter developed PTSD from shooting an AR-15, to the time that David Hogg told Canadians to…
BREAKING: Saturday Night Live had a segment that was actually funny! The fact that the humor was unintentional shouldn’t detract from our laughter, because everything about this late-night-TV segment was hilarious. The bit was a perfect microcosm of anti-gun thought: That never happened! And if it did, it’s no big deal! And if it is…
It’s called Garland v. Cargill, and someday we may remember it the way we remember Bruen and Heller. Garland v. Cargill is the culmination of six years of outrage and outrageous behavior on the part of the Feds. Whether or not you think bump stocks should be available to civilians, there’s a lot more at…
Ever heard of “The Narcissist’s Prayer”? That Never Happened! And also you are remembering it wrong! And if you’re remembering it right, it wasn’t that big a deal! And if it was a big deal, it wasn’t my fault! And if it was my fault … YOU DESERVED IT. All of us have, in our lives,…
Picture it: District of Columbia, 1994. Clinton’s “Assault Weapons” ban is in force, and Michelle Grisham’s style is current. Fact is, if you remember the Nineties well, then you didn’t have them. You had two Eighties in a row followed by the Millennium. But those of us who experienced Bill Clinton’s 1994 “Assault Weapons” ban…
New York’s Attorney General, Letitia James, wants to forbid civilian sale of ammunition from the Lake City facility. We’re in receipt of one of the dumbest press releases we’ve ever seen (WARNING: Opens a .PDF), courtesy of the New York Attorney General’s office. In it, James and a coalition of 20 state attorneys general demand…
The political experts at NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA, which is a separate entity from the NRA) believe that 2024 will be critical for the future of the Second Amendment. Here are their informed guesses about what’s in store for gun owners and the right to keep and bear arms this year! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While…
Biden’s L Team made a wishlist! All by themselves! And it only took two months! Way back at the beginning of October, we noted that Joe Biden had gathered a hand-picked bouquet of gun-grabbers whose job it would be to … well, we weren’t sure at the time. Here at Freedom’s Lodge, our best guess…
This is how we “save the best for last”! Whatever holiday you celebrate in December, we can all agree on some things: First, that we would like to have more guns and ammo in our safes; and second, that winning them would restore our belief in holiday miracles. That’s why we’re singing “Hallelujah” for the…
Remember the massive toddler tantrum New York threw when the Supreme Court said they had to allow CCW? Gun grabbers really are like small children, aren’t they? From the magical thinking that causes them to believe that criminals will obey gun laws, to the inability to model other people’s motivations, to the insensate rage that…
