Gun Owners of America isn’t new, but its level of outreach just might be. As we noted in our last edition of Guns & Gadgets Daily, the New York Attorney General’s case against the NRA has been (mostly) won … and the NRA is currently in limbo waiting for Judge Cohen to rule on “remedies.”…
The jury deliberated for five days, and on Friday evening, rendered its verdict: Guilty. Well, not exactly. This wasn’t a criminal trial … although there may be a couple of those coming down the pike for Wayne LaPierre and Woody Phillips, the longtime Executive Vice President of the NRA and his trusty CFO.

Because those who are determined to forget history, are doomed to repeat it. That’s why. The history of gun control in America begins and ends with racism. The very first gun control laws ever passed were part of the “Jim Crow” laws, designed to prevent newly freed slaves in the South from accessing a way…
I wish I’d listened when they said to wear ear protection. Now I can’t because I’m deaf … … and honestly, it’s not the hearing loss that’s the worst. It’s the tinnitus that replaced what I lost. I guess it’s the way of the world, that the young simply don’t believe the wisdom of the…

All over the nation, left-leaning, anti-gun newspapers are failing. The New York Times‘ circulation has dropped by 50 percent in just eight years. The LA Times is losing $40 million a year. It seems that the Washington Post has decided to try to save itself with a shocking, innovative, revolutionary tactic: telling the truth. Perhaps…
It’s a Class of the Titans (Perseus couldn’t be reached for comment) … The 6.4-inch Titan 9 is the lightest, quietest, user-serviceable, compact Titanium Suppressor for handguns to 9mm/.357 cal and rifles to .338 Lapua. At just 8.3 ounces, it feels like you’re wearing nothing at all! Its Flow-thru design almost eliminates backpressure change, so you don’t…
Let’s take this thing full-circle, shall we? There aren’t many historic firearms more iconic than the Tommy Gun. From Winston Churchill to Bonnie and Clyde, everyone knows that there’s nothing like a letter from the “Chicago Typewriter” to change the conversation. Today, we have some great information from the good folks at Auto-Ordnance, who make…
She wants to take your guns and get rid of the police … while you pay for it all, and her private security team too! Meet Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.), who has actually managed to outstrip Mike Bloomberg as the smuggest, most hypocritical anti-gunner in America. This woman is currently under investigation for misusing her…
