The anti-gunners are back to their legislation-by-lawsuit strategy, this time with ghost stories! The city of Washington, D.C., which competes with only New York City in its unconstitutionally harsh gun laws, is at it again: They’re suing popular firearm manufacturer Polymer80 for making and selling the parts needed to create a so-called “ghost gun.” Never…
As many concealed carriers have discovered to their disappointment (or worse), sometimes the last people to find out how the gun laws in their state are meant to be enforced are the police charged with enforcing those gun laws. Recently, a Florida appellate court spelled it out on behalf of their state’s armed citizens, stating…
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,…
A few days ago, pro-2A people were deeply disappointed when the United States Supreme Court declined to hear a number of Second Amendment-related cases, believing that victory was assured with a Court that leans “conservative” by a narrow margin. Although many Second Amendment activists see this as a missed opportunity, and it may well have…
No, this isn’t a repeat of the story of the toy gun on Zoom that triggered a police investigation… Not even three weeks ago, the gun-owning public was shocked, angered, and a little amused by the story of a seven-year-old boy, the toy gun that was visible on a Zoom call with his school, and…
BOOM: The unthinkable has happened, and you have been forced to shoot an attacker. There’s a lot of information on the Web about how to deal with law enforcement in the aftermath of a defensive shooting, but there’s a critical advice gap that Personal Defense Network‘s Barrett Kendrick addresses in this video–what to do in…
“We’re not doing guns…but we can do cartoony violence, TNT, the Acme stuff…” Do you have fond childhood memories of waking early on a Saturday, pouring yourself a bowl full of tooth-melting cereal, and settling down in front of the TV to watch Elmer Fudd chase Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck from Wabbit Season to…
For the third month in a row, FBI NICS checks–gun sales and transfers–set records. Can’t imagine why! Here’s a piece of news that broke like the wind in every gun-grabber’s e-mail inbox yesterday morning: This past May beat all previous May records for gun sales. It’s the third-largest month for gun sales of all time,…
Right now, the media is spreading myths about self-defense that will send you to the Gray-Bar Hotel. It certainly doesn’t help that the current front-runner for the Democratic nomination for President, Joe Biden, is so grievously misinformed about guns and the use of lethal force–and that the mainstream media is so happy to repeat his…
Have the events of 2020 made you start dreaming of going off-grid? If you’ve ever daydreamed about buying a few acres of American soil and setting yourself up in a self-sustaining homestead, no doubt the year 2020–complete with the COVID-19 pandemic, food shortages, and riots before June even begins–has caused the intensity and specificity of…
I give gun-grabbers a lot of grief, but the truth is that I’m looking out for their best interests! Over the past few decades, I’ve noticed a trend among anti-gunners, and I bet you have too: After creating their perfect gun-free paradise in their home state, they begin casting their gun-grabbing gaze at neighboring states….
The Coronavirus pandemic is likely to change the way anti-gunners operate for a while. Here’s how. A few months ago, we published an article in our sister publication, Guns & Gadgets Daily, about how to tell when the anti-gunners are going to politicize a mass shooting…and when they won’t.
