It’s been a hell of an interesting week in The Swamp … Yesterday, in a decision that many Second Amendment activists found shocking and disappointing, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an ATF rule that treated unfinished frames and receivers and do-it-yourself-gunmaking kits as if they were complete, functioning firearms. If you’d like to read the…
Consider the Tesla owner’s dilemma: He’s gone from Virtuous Carbon-Neutral Energy Angel to Musk Demon overnight. The problem with virtue signaling is that, sometimes, the noise outstrips the signal. That’s especially true if you’re a Leftist, because what is and is not considered okay in those circles can change by the hour. It’s one thing…
Everybody panic! It’s a pandemic! (But they just want “two weeks to flatten the curve.”) The last five years have been deeply corrosive to our nation in so many ways, but chief among them has to be the way in which our trust in the nation’s doctors (and the federal institutions like the Centers for…
Dear Trump Administration Justice Department: Weed like a word with you. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: How does it make any sense that the federal government still prohibits a substance that is legal in 47 states? How does it make any sense that the same prohibition means that citizens who do…
Bloomberg and Soros didn’t even bother digging into their own wallets–isn’t that neat? Those two are among the bigger names arrayed against the Second Amendment, and they’re also among the wealthiest. They’ve been funding anti-gun groups and politicians for decades … or have they? It seems that infringing on our rights just wasn’t enough for…
“Invictus,” my rosy-red fundament. The Canadians have conquered themselves. “Invictus” means “unconquered” in Latin, and it’s a particularly ironic way to title a Canadian winter-sports event. What’s amazing about Canada is that it has always had very low violent crime rates, both before and after it banned handguns. In addition to that, most of the…
Cue the rending of garments and gnashing of teeth! When we heard the phrase “Promises Made, Promises Kept” from then-candidate Trump, some of us pro-gun folks were just a touch skeptical. But here we are, three days post-inauguration, and Biden’s “White House Office of Gun Violence Prevention” is no more. Naturally, that “office” did little…
You know that scene in the Western movie when the good sheriff–whom everyone thought was dead–appears in the third act to save the day? “Yeah, that’s right,” he says, drawing his wheelgun, “I’m back.” In this particular metaphor, the good townspeople have been overrun for years by a nasty gang of outlaws who insisted that the…
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…
