    January 2, 2025November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    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.

    June 15, 2023November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    Here’s the ultimate Father’s Day gift round-up for the anti-gun male in your life! He’s the reason you can’t talk about your hobbies at family gatherings. Last Thanksgiving, when he found out that you hunted the turkey yourself instead of buying a Butterball, he spat it out. He has no idea what the Second Amendment…

    2 More Things Cuomo Can Blame on Guns

    July 8, 2021November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    It’s all over, folks: Cuomo’s on to us! A couple of days ago, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-Hell) announced that New York State is in the throes of a “disaster emergency on gun violence.” Declaring that the murders of 51 people over a holiday weekend–a grim and terrible number to be sure–represents a “public…

    007Swalwell: The Spy Who Unholstered Me

    December 10, 2020November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    So it seems that anti-gun Representative Eric Swalwell has been caught with a Chinese spy. Have you ever wondered just what it might take to turn an otherwise normal-seeming person into an anti-gunner? We now have an excellent example courtesy of would-be gun-banner Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.), whom you may remember as the guy who…

    Quiz: Which Compact Pistol Are You?

    October 29, 2020November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    My boss makes a dollar while I make a dime…that’s why I quiz on company time! Remember back when Facebook was actually sort of fun, instead of a hellscape populated entirely by people selling pyramid schemes to each other? I’m personally certain that it was the silly quizzes that made all the difference, and was…

    REVEALED: Joe Biden’s Psych Evaluation for Prospective Gun Owners

    September 11, 2020November 11, 2026 UpdatedNovember 11, 2026

    Joe Biden thinks that you should take a psychiatric test to be a gun owner. Which test? This one! Yesterday we learned that Joe Biden‘s “wish list” for gun rights in America includes a licensing scheme not just for guns, but for gun owners–and that said scheme would include a psych eval. Once we got…

    Hot Take: Double-Barrel Magazine Extended Clips Now Legal in California!

    August 18, 2020November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    Get out your shoulder things that go up, guys–it’s party time! The Second Amendment world is all agog this week because the California 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that California’s ban on “high-capacity magazines” violates the 2A.

    ANTIFA’s Top 5 Weapons

    July 29, 2020November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    Even if you’ve been living under a rock, you have no doubt heard of ANTIFA–and that would probably be because some ANTIFA dork took that rock off the top of your head and hurled it at a cop. ANTIFA, which in the amusing doublespeak of the anti-gunner stands for “anti-fascist,” has been quite busy of…

    3 Anti-Gun Arguments I Love Trolling

    Once upon a time, when I was just a wee Munson, I used to answer these in earnest. Not anymore. Have you ever noticed that so many of the average anti-gunner’s commentary regarding gun rights seems to all come, not just from the same playbook, but the same photocopied handwritten crib notes your frat passed…

    July 21, 2020November 6, 2026 UpdatedNovember 6, 2026

    Not all “gun gurus” are created equal. You’re a nice person. You don’t want to make too many assumptions about people, and you want to be polite. The problem is that you’re looking for gun training…and there are an awful lot of people out there competing for your money. What’s more, when it comes to…

    “We’re not doing guns…but we can do cartoony violence, TNT, the Acme stuff…” Do you have fond childhood memories of waking early on a Saturday, pouring yourself a bowl full of tooth-melting cereal, and settling down in front of the TV to watch Elmer Fudd chase Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck from Wabbit Season to…
