Let’s start with the fact that they’re based on a logical fallacy. When a local government decides to buy firearms out of the hands of its citizens, they’re not buying those guns back. The government never had possession of them in the first place. Any time you’re going to have an entire operation that’s based…
And, just like herpes, he’s the gift that keeps on giving. For years, I’ve been having a wonderful time mocking David Hogg for so many things. Telling Canadians to go vote in American elections was a good one. The part when he decided to try and profit from an illegal suppressor business was fun, too….
What a difference an election makes! Just six months ago, we were living in an America in which the might of the Federal government had been openly and vociferously turned against gun owners and gun dealers. We’ve gone from ATF doing no-knock midnight raids and “zero tolerance” policies that closed down gun dealers for minor…
Scratch an anti-gunner, find a sociopath. Prove me wrong. Do you ever speak directly to anti-gunners? Every single conversation I’ve had with one has involved them saying some form of the following to me: “Guns are dangerous because if someone upsets you and you lose your temper, you’ll shoot them.” And every single time, I…
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…
Spring is sprung, the grass is riz, I wonder where the pew-pews is! That silly old rhyme is being re-vibed for 2025 with our hottest spring giveaway yet! 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…
