Have you ever asked yourself why Biden doesn’t just set up a workstation for David Hogg under his desk? So has Biden! And the answer he came up with is, “Because Hogg’s hair smells awful. But why not just put Everytown for Gun Safety on the payroll?” That’s right; Biden has finally made good on…
New Mexico’s Gov. Grisham’s ban on concealed and open carry has been blocked, but it’s not time to celebrate yet. As readers of our sister publication Guns & Gadgets Daily know, NM Gov. Grisham has recently been doing her best impression of a delusional and power-mad tyrant. Her recent announcement of an “emergency order” that…
Could the Biden administration’s contempt for American veterans be any clearer? Today, we have a deeply troubling report courtesy of our friends at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF). Seems that the Department of Veterans Affairs has been secretly adding the names of vets who have been appointed a fiduciary–which is nothing more than a…
Who knew it was this easy to show the gun-grabbers what we think? Have you ever noticed that anti-gunners have a childlike, magical-thinking way of processing reality? They seem to think that simply saying a thing over and over makes it so. They seem to think that preventing others from saying a thing makes it…
Kamala Harris says guns are a “public health crisis.” Perhaps she uses them … differently … than most women. Anti-gunners have been trying to describe gun ownership as a “plague” for a very long time, but it took Vice President Kamala Harris to transform that assertion from ridiculous to hilarious. Unlike anti-gunners of days gone…
Hmm…what’s that stench? Smells like infringement! Watching anti-gunners try to do an end-run around the recent Supreme Court Bruen decision would be hilarious if our rights weren’t at stake. The Supreme Court’s ruling makes it very clear that the Second Amendment protects an absolute, individual right. Now, like every standup comedian and sixth-grade philosopher, they’ve…
Is the mind a terrible thing to waste? If you’re Biden, a waste is a terrible thing to mind. Imagine discovering that the school your child attends has just been defunded because it has an archery program. Imagine discovering that the people who shout the loudest about improving public schools for everyone (a laudable goal)…
Last month, we wondered why the IRS has guns. Turns out, we were asking the wrong question. The real question isn’t “Why does the IRS have guns?”. The real question is “Why has the IRS been buying more guns since Biden took office?” That’s a question that Rep. Stephanie Bice (R-Okla.) has just officially asked…
Riddle: When is a soldier not a soldier? Answer: When a gun-grabber says so! How many times have anti-gunners smugly announced that if we wish to shoot AR-15s, then we ought to go join the military? Today, we’ve learned for certain what we already guessed: That anti-gunners don’t like it when soldiers have guns, either….
It’s official: Washington State has now entered the “found out” phase. The “fooling around” in Washington state goes back to 2020, when its citizens and administration informed the police that they weren’t required anymore. Then, about three months ago, the fooling around intensified with a ban on semi-automatic firearms that is unconstitutional on its face….
Update, August 20, 2026: this story got a long sequel. The Supreme Court reversed in Bondi v. VanDerStok (2025) and upheld ATF’s authority to write the rule, but the constitutional claims survived on remand — and on August 17, 2026 Judge O’Connor held the Frame or Receiver Rule unconstitutional as applied to Defense Distributed and…
Are these ninnies all cloned from the same pair of skinny jeans, or … ? If you read our Father’s Day gift guide for anti-gun Dads, you might have wondered upon whom we modeled the ideal “anti-gun Dad.” Well, the truth is that we didn’t just use one anti-gun man as a template … we…
