Today, we have an urgent bulletin from the NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). NRA-ILA is the part of the NRA that does the actual lobbying on Capitol Hill, and has a separate budget and leadership. As you may know, the ATF still needs a leader since Biden’s nomination of David Chipman went down in…

Had we but crayons enough and time, this clowning, ladies, would be no crime … A few days ago, the New York City subway system was terrorized by a man with severe mental health problems and (luckily) poor marksmanship. For a brief period, the mainstream media was electrified by the notion that they might have…
Recent headlines have suggested that the current crop of anti-gun Astroturfers are thirsty for more gun control. Trouble is, a whole bunch of new gun owners sprouted over the COVID-19 pandemic. There’s a bumper crop of freedom, too: 25 states have enacted Constitutional carry laws. It may seem that the U.S. is not fertile ground…

NBC reporter…
Actually, it’s only “no duh” news to you and me. Anti-gunners are baffled. A new survey by the nationally-recognized polling firm of McLaughlin & Associates shows strong public support for the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms in the wake of Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. This shouldn’t be news to anyone familiar…
When Vidkun Quisling collaborated with the Nazis in WWII, his name became synonymous with treason. Today, we have some disturbing news courtesy of a new Quinnipiac poll. In the wake of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Americans were asked what they would do if our own country were invaded by enemy forces. They were also…
Before you say “The Bill of Rights prevents that,” have a look at what our own anti-gun Congress-critters are doing. All psychologists know that the best way to find out how someone really feels about their own circumstances is to ask them how they would feel if it were happening to someone else. All Second…
One of the things that tickles me the most about Creepy Uncle Joe (other than Biden himself, when he’s mistaken me for an intern) is the way that he’s every bit as devoted to his blatant lies about the Second Amendment as he is to the scent of Herbal Essences shampoo. It’s gotten so bad,…
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…
This Valentine’s Day, five senators sent YouTube their favorite kind of love letter. On February 14, Senators Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Robert Menendez (D-NJ), Christopher Murphy (D-CT), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Edward Markey (D-MA) to YouTube’s CEO, Susan Wojcicki, demanding that it delete and deplatform videos depicting how to assemble a firearm at home.
