They’ve introduced legislation like this before, and it has failed. This time might be different. Recently, U.S. Rep. Richard Hudson’s (R-N.C.) introded a new Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2025, H.R. 38. In a nutshell, this act forces states to treat concealed-carry permits the same way they do driver’s licenses: e.g., your Nebraska license is…
Don’t let the doorknob hit ya, Stevie-Boy. Steve Dettelbach, the current director of the ATF, has announced that he will resign effective January 18, two days before Donald Trump is sworn into office. His resignation letter, dated December 20, hit the news on December 30. This wasn’t a mistake; it’s common practice to “dump” news…
IF JUST ONE LIFE IS SAVED, IT’LL BE WORTH IT! Let’s face it, German car culture is absolutely out of control. It has a serious body count, and that body count just went up. The recent mass murder attempt in a German public market proves it, and we’re so sick and tired of having to…
Ever read “Bonfire of the Vanities”? As the unofficial center of the free world, New York City has also represented a gun-banner’s daydream since it adopted the Sullivan Act over 100 years ago. When its mayor takes a tough-on-crime approach, as Rudy Giuliani did in the early ’00s, life in the city isn’t all that…
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: The Founding Fathers didn’t miss much, but they missed something critical when they wrote the Second Amendment. If only they had thought to include one more clause: Keep, bear, and buy arms. Why’d they omit it? Well, because so much of the American Revolution was stoked…
I guess Biden was the “lying dog-face pony soldier” all along … The Citizens’ Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms has one of the best takes on Joe Biden’s recent pardon of his son Hunter for a number of crimes, known and unknown, and that is that we now know who the…
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Every accusation leveled at pro-gun pols is actually a confession from the accuser. When we were told that Donald Trump was set to usher in a new age of anti-Constitutional authoritarianism if he were elected, that was a confession. When we were told that he will…
Imagine being so unhinged you’d stop donations going to a children’s hospital because you didn’t like how the funds were raised. For gun banners, that’s not a thought exercise–it’s their everyday reality. Imagine taking every single social interaction and weighing it based on whether it conforms to your political party’s platform. For anti-gunners, that’s how…
On Tuesday, the nation rejected the toothy Glock Tuah … and the anti-gunners are spitting mad! There are a lot of reasons to be happy about the results of the 2024 Presidential election, but chief among them is the fact that the anti-gunners ran the dumbest campaign in American history. That really ought not to…
Kamala Harris is not okay. This is, hands-down, the strangest presidential election cycle in the last 60 years. A sitting president was revealed to be seriously cognitively impaired during his first campaign debate. A couple of weeks later, his challenger barely survived an assassination attempt. The sitting president was then ousted from his own re-election…
When Massad Ayoob talks gun rights, people listen. He’ll tell you how to do the same. He’s the author of In the Gravest Extreme, which is one of the Ur-texts of gun rights and self-defense. He’s been teaching self-defense techniques since 1974. For those not old enough to recall the 1970s and 1980s, it wasn’t…
This is John Kerry’s “goose hunt” all over again. Only dumber! Starting to miss John Kerry yet? He may not have exactly covered himself in glory during his tour of the Vietnam conflict, but he did go. There were never any questions about whether he actually completed his service. When Kerry went hunting in a…
