Ever seen “Red Dawn”? It was a controversial film when it was released in 1984, and it still is. Those who support the Second Amendment recognize it for what it is: Sheepdogs banding together to protect the herd from Russian wolves. Gun-grabbers like to cite it as a conservative fantasy that could never happen here….
A federal judge recently blocked the ATF’s unconstitutional pistol arm-brace ban … but not for everyone. Are you covered? As we’ve reported extensively here, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Anything Fun (BATFEIEIO) has been on a mission to ban pistol arm braces, which are nothing more than adaptive equipment that allows people with…
Are these people even listening to the words coming out of their mouths? A few days ago, New York City mayor Eric Adams addressed his constituency in their millions with the following message: I refuse to imprison repeat violent criminal offenders, and yet they keep offending, therefore our dramatic spike in violent crime is the…
Want to learn more about the rules of self-defense where you live? As recent headlines have made clear, the laws about when and how it’s legal to employ lethal force in self defense can be confusing. There are federal laws related to gun ownership as well as state laws that differ–often wildly–in their definitions of…
Had we but crayons enough and time, this clowning, ladies, would be no crime … A few days ago, the New York City subway system was terrorized by a man with severe mental health problems and (luckily) poor marksmanship. For a brief period, the mainstream media was electrified by the notion that they might have…
Social media rejects the Second Amendment, but they can’t stop the signal. The Second Amendment Foundation today announced it is expanding its media effort to warn of President Joe Biden’s looming attack on gun rights to include radio, by airing its information and education messages to ten of the top national talk radio programs in…
The Second Amendment Foundation is too polite to call California a skinny weak girly state. I’m not. The Second Amendment Foundation’s hitting Muscle Beach in an effort to show California that there’s nothing wrong with pumping iron…or, more precisely, pumping lead through steel. The state’s animosity towards gun shows is second to none, and that’s…
USCCA used to just be about self-defense against criminals. Now it’s about defending the 2A, too. As part of its continued leadership to grow support for national concealed carry reciprocity and responsibly armed Americans broadly, the U.S. Concealed Carry Association (USCCA) announced today it is launching a new Super PAC. The U.S. Concealed Carry Association For…
Update, August 20, 2026: a federal court has now answered a version of the question this post asks. On August 17, 2026 the ATF’s 2022 rule defining unfinished frames and receivers as firearms was held unconstitutional as applied to Defense Distributed and SAF members. Read the 2026 ruling. Before they ban all the guns, they…
Maryland’s “May Issue” concealed carry law means “maybe when pigs fly.” Time to change that. Here’s an example of why “may issue” concealed-carry permit laws may as well be considered concealed-carry bans: Maryland. Although its laws state that it’s possible to get a CCW, in practice the state basically will not issue you a permit…
Remember, Remember on the Third of November… One of the most hilarious aspects of the 2020 Presidential elections is that we Second Amendment supporters get to watch Biden’s campaign claim that they have no intentions of infringing on the 2A even as they gleefully plan to infringe upon the 2A. The National Shooting Sports Foundation…
“This isn’t about electing; it’s about protecting.” The 2020 presidential election may be in full swing, but the Second Amendment Foundation is reminding America that the Right to Keep and Bear Arms applies to everyone regardless of our political leanings on other topics…and that the Second Amendment is under attack. That’s why they’re launching a…
