Want to learn more about the rules of self-defense where you live? As recent headlines have made clear, the laws about when and how it’s legal to employ lethal force in self defense can be confusing. There are federal laws related to gun ownership as well as state laws that differ–often wildly–in their definitions of…
Once again, Creepy Uncle Joe is working to be Gun Salesman of the Year! In the aftermath of this week’s murderous rampage by a deranged killer inside an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, gun sales have reportedly “rocketed” and the Second Amendment Foundation said today that President Joe Biden and his Democrat colleagues in Congress…
The “Nonhuman Rights Project, Inc.” makes PETA look sane. Remember PETA? Their long, slow slide into irrelevance began with naked pictures of dopey vegetarian celebrities and ended with the revelation that the group had been euthanizing thousands of perfectly healthy, adoptable pets. The next generation of fringe-element animal rights activists doesn’t wear butcher’s marks and…
New York Governor Kathy Hochul saw a madman commit a terrible crime … and judged the Bill of Rights guilty. A few days ago, some waste of skin killed 10 innocent people in a racially motivated attack in Buffalo, N.Y. Only a few hours later–while the victims’ bodies were still cooling–New York Gov.

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…
Would you like to own the license plate that launched a thousand anti-gun tears? Just a few short weeks ago, our very own XDMAN and a buddy of his decided that it was time for a new novelty license plate. In honor of our Gun Banner in Chief and the source of everyone’s favorite sporting…
Journalists: They’re just like you and me, only BETTER! The Second Amendment Foundation is calling for an investigation of possible gun law violations by NBC News and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s office while producing and filming an undercover “hidden camera investigation” at a gun show, focusing on sales of so-called “ghost gun” kits. 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…
