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. Although I stand by that article,…
The corollary to “Guns Don’t Kill People, People Kill People”: Dollars don’t vote, but people do. A few months ago, we published a column about why California is the Kafka-esque nightmare that is coming for all American gun owners if the anti-gunners have their way. That remains true in terms of the overall gun-grabber playbook,…
“Throw a rock into a pack of dogs; the one that screams the loudest is the one you hit.” –My Granny Many Americans nationwide are beginning to question the wisdom of letting the Coronavirus quarantine run indefinitely as the economy sheds about half a million jobs for every business day that we remain in lockdown–and…
NRA Challenge to Florida’s “No Guns Under 21” Law Will Have its Day in Court It’s axiomatic: Any law dealing with firearms passed in the immediate wake of a mass shooting will be unconstitutional and will punish the law-abiding while criminals will continue to do as they please. A corollary to that axiom is that…
This is what it looks like when Poe’s Law becomes a Real Law. Grab a cup of joe, eh, and settle in, Freedom’s Lodge readers, because the Canadian anti-gunners have outdone themselves this time by banning Black Rifle Coffee (by name) from their shores. Yes, this really happened and no, it’s not a Trace Munson…
Every so often, I see a new gun or gadget that I want so badly that it turns me into your grandpa and sticks my caps-lock key in place, and today the gun that has induced this transformation is Henry Repeating Arms‘ new non-NFA lever-action gun featuring a side loading gate, an axe-handle grip, and…
The gun-grabbers’ motto has always been “Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste.” COVID-19 is that crisis. One of the most infuriatingly hilarious facts about anti-gunners is that, regardless of what the crisis is, you can count on them to use that crisis to infringe upon the Second Amendment. It’s like clockwork; from the New…
If you ever needed proof that “gun control” is about “control” and not “guns,” here it is. The gun-grabbers of the world love to pretend that their anti-gun agenda is all about saving human life–but we Second Amendment stalwarts have known for a long time that’s not true. Terrible though the COVID-19 pandemic (and the…
