Yes, it’s happened again. Yet another Democratic lawmaker who thinks his armed staff “doesn’t count.” That’s because Cory Booker, like most of his anti-gun buddies, truly believes himself above the law. As someone who hates the Second Amendment, Senator Booker (and his Congressional aide) knows better than anyone that guns are strictly limited to law…
It’s a testament to how much the political landscape has shifted since Trump won the 2024 election; even the New York Times is modifying its tone regarding gun rights. First, the Los Angeles Times editorial board declined to endorse Kamala Harris for president. Then, the Washington Post, which was one of the most vociferous voices…
Ever watched a shoot-em-up movie and wished you could have that endless-ammo option that the “good guy guns” all seem to have? You know what I’m talking about–the guns that never, ever seem to need reloading unless there’s a plot point to be made around it? It may just be “pulp fiction” but that doesn’t…
The capping of USAID‘s firehose of cash means that we’re no longer paying the mainstream media to lie. But that doesn’t mean they’re going to start telling the truth. That’s not because they have any shame; quite the opposite. It’s because the mainstream media is so thoroughly wedded to anti-gun non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that it…

One lucky winner of the Ring in Spring $7k Guns & Gear Giveaway will take home an amazing prize package, starring rifles from DesertTech and Henry Repeating…
We’re in receipt of the following VERY interesting notification from NRA’s Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA). But first, a word … “It’s like Daddy just got home and he’s taking off his belt,” said Mel Gibson, and he was right. For the last four years, America’s bureaucracy has essentially handled 100% of our executive function,…
Let’s begin today’s story with the number of Americans who have been sickened by lead fragments in donated meat: ZERO. But that doesn’t matter to Bloomberg’s “The Trace.” This is a website funded entirely by Mike Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety. And Bloomie really, really hates the concept of gun owners doing nice things for…
Now that USAID is Tango Uniform, it’s the ATF’s turn to bend over and grease up. And it really couldn’t happen to a nicer group of unelected bureaucrats, could it? The headline news here is that, as of Saturday the 22nd of February, new FBI director Kash Patel is currently doing double duty as the…
It’s official: The days of targeting law-abiding gun owners are over. Yesterday, gun owners all over America were given the best kind of gift … Kash. Mr. Patel faced a particularly rocky road to Senate confirmation for his seat as head of the FBI, and some of that opposition was driven by the sorts of…
The best advice my grandpa ever gave me was this: When people tell you who they are, believe them. And right now, Congressman Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) just told us who he is. He did so in very clear English. He called for, and I quote, “actual weapons” to the “bar fight” that is DOGE’s progress…
… but given that I forgot it even exists until now, I say that there’s “no need” for Rhode Island. It’s the same story that we’ve heard over and over again for the last several years: Another state is attempting to ban semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Once again, the state’s Democratic leadership has announced…
All together now: Thank you, Donald J. Trump! The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms (CCRKBA) join in congratulating President Donald Trump for his Executive Order Friday protecting Second Amendment Rights. “It is reassuring that after four long years of the executive branch assaulting our Second Amendment rights…
