In a tremendous coup for Freedom’s Lodge, we’ve secured an exclusive interview with Dog Face Pony Soldier–whom, up until now, has been a figure shrouded in mystery, wrapped in an enigma, and dipped into a cold, creamy cup of WTF. When the world was introduced to Dog Face Pony Soldier, pundits everywhere were confused…who is…
Let’s bow our heads in gratitude that none of us have to wash these idiots’ skivvies, hey? Anti-gunners love to accuse pro-2A folks of being irrationally resistant to the anti-gunners’ so-called “common sense gun control measures,” but (as usual) it’s just another case of projection. We’ve all had a pretty good look at what they…
If you’re curious about the “Metamorphosis” the anti-gunners are planning for our Second Amendment, look to the Left Coast. For decades, the gun owners of California have been warning the rest of us that what has been done (and is still being done) to them isn’t just their bad luck, but rather a harbinger of…
“Of course we should ban guns. Look what happens when you put one in my hands!” I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Gun-banners hate gun safety, and the reason why is pure projection. If you’re not familiar, “projection” is a psychological term used to describe an extremely maladaptive defense strategy: Essentially, one…
A wise man once said: There are lies, damn lies, and mainstream American journalism. If you’ve ever wondered how otherwise relatively intelligent people can get caught up in a wave of anti-gun hysteria, look no further than the magnificent failure that is modern mainstream media. Most Americans are busy people; we have jobs, families, hobbies,…
In a turn of events that should have surprised exactly no one, Los Angeles is now the second major California city to back down from their plans to stop doing official business with contractors who are members of the NRA. The first one, naturally, was San Francisco, when the city’s Board of Supervisors finally had…
From the moment that Virginia Governor Ralph Northam settled himself into the gubernatorial mansion in Richmond—thoughtfully purchased for him by America’s wealthiest gun-grabber, Mike Bloomberg—he has been gleefully working to force as much anti-Second Amendment legislation on Virginia’s citizens as he can. Even if you’re not a Virginian, you can confidently treat what’s happening in…
Are you wondering what the remaining Bloomberg-funded anti-gun Presidential candidates might have up their sleeves as we move into 2020? Well, the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, so now is as good a time as any to remind the world at large that Mike Bloomberg has admitted, out loud and in public,…
Metal Art of Wisconsin is one of the newest manufacturers to solve the Gun Owner’s Dilemma: How to keep our firearms out of the hands of unauthorized users while still keeping them handy in the event of a home invasion. The Gun Owner’s Dilemma is made more complicated when the potential “unauthorized users” aren’t just…
Pictured above: Hollywood actress demonstrating her bona fides to talk gun policy. Two years ago, actress Alyssa Milano popularized the #metoo social-media movement, and within days that nugget of Internet slacktivism had not only gone viral, it had become virtually synonymous with feminism. As an actual feminist, and not someone who plays one on TV,…
It’s your right and mine…but that doesn’t mean I have to use that right. About five years ago, the NRA released a statement about open carry that quickly had the gun-owning community up in arms (pun intended. Sue me). A critique of people who were open-carrying their guns as part of protests in Texas, the…
When you absolutely, positively must have the ultimate in accuracy and terminal performance… When the top tier of professional shooters insists on using Federal Ammunition to excel in their chosen sport, I sit up and take notice…because trends at the pinnacle of performance tend to trickle down to home defenders and more casual shooters everywhere….
