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…
I feel like Beetlejuice: I’ve seen gun-grabbers get mad at their own laws 167 times, and it just keeps getting funnier… The Coronavirus pandemic is doing much more than making people sick; it’s exposing sicknesses that have been eating at the heart of the Second Amendment for decades. Those of us who support the right…
In times of crisis, the Second Amendment stands as a bulwark against the forces of chaos. And also boredom. As more and more Americans settle into a long-term quarantine against the spread of the Coronavirus, we’re battling two equal forces: First, anti-gunners who are hoping to use this crisis to limit gun rights; and second, creeping…
The Coronavirus pandemic may not be the zombie outbreak we gun owners have been jokingly talking about for the last decade or so, but it’s definitely proving something that we Second Amendment supporters have been arguing all along: In times of crisis, all Americans are our own first responders. As I write, local governments nationwide…
As Covid-19 fears sweep the country faster than the illness could ever hope to, anti-gunners are out there buying guns. Let’s help them! One of the best things about the mainstream media’s insistence on misrepresenting guns and gun laws is that, in times of crisis, many of the anti-gun populace will decide that there are…
