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….
Here’s an “inconvenient truth” that today’s crop of gun-banners wishes you’d ignore… If you listen to the current crop of Presidential candidates, it would be very easy to assume that America is currently drowning in the blood shed by AR-15s; after all, each one of them has made banning the sale of black rifles a…
Proving once again that CrossBreed Holsters has the inside track on every new handgun launch, the leading holster designer and manufacturer has already introduced holsters designed for the Springfield Hellcat micro-compact semi-auto pistol. Eight holsters, in fact, five of which are for inside-the-waistband (IWB), and three are for outside-the-waistband (OWB). The Hellcat, which was only…
Who knew that “domestic terrorists” have lawyers and a copy of the Bill of Rights? It’s a sad day for America when it becomes necessary to employ a very expensive team of lawyers to explain to a government body (in this case, San Francisco’s Board of Supervisors) that the first two Amendments to the Constitution…
Taurus, the Brazil-based gun manufacturer, just announced that the latest extension to their G-series line is shipping to dealers now and will be available to consumers within the next few days. The gun, called the G3, is a full-sized 9mm striker-fired pistol that the company created in response to shooters who wanted to see a…
Self-defense is a human right, and you don’t lose it if you are, or become, disabled. Ask any law-enforcement officer about the quality of criminals these days, and they’ll tell you: The vast majority of them aren’t exactly evil geniuses, a la Professor Moriarty, nor are they particularly brave. In general, two-legged predators are very…
