Survey: 33% of voters say they plan to buy a gun because of Russia/Ukraine war :: 03/30/2022
Another day, another poll showing that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has prompted many Americans to take a closer look at their Second Amendment rights. Last week we told you about a poll that found 2/3rds of respondents believe the war has demonstrated the importance of our right to keep and bear arms, and now a new survey from the group Gun Made is providing more evidence that the war in Ukraine has been a clarifying event for many voters when it comes to the Second Amendment and their right of self-defense.
Bill aims to set the record straight on what "no registration" really means :: 03/29/2022
As gun owners and Second Amendment advocates, we’ve suffered through some extreme unprecedented infringements of our rights inflicted upon us by the US Government (and more are on the way). While there has been very little ground surrendered to the anti-freedom caucus legislatively from the halls of Congress recently, we’ve been getting beat over the head by executive overreach. It’s not hyperbole to say that there are many in our government that wish to see an unarmed population. Part of the scheme in order to carry out any plan to disarm Americans is the creation of a registration database. A recently introduced bill seeks to completely codify that the government must destroy records illegally being held.

Chicago’s violent crime rate is already at 25-year highs and things are only getting worse in the Windy City, but Mayor Lori Lightfoot can sleep well at night knowing she’s protected by dozens of Chicago police officers assigned for her personal safety. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that not only is Lightfoot guarded by a squad of about twenty officers assigned as her personal detail, more than 70 other members of the Chicago Police Department have been tasked with watching over her home, office, and family.

A Forgotten Genocide And The Second Amendment :: 03/28/2022
Editor’s note: The following was written by Ranjit Singh one year ago, and I’m happy to re-publish it at his request on the anniversary of one of history’s repeated and grim reminders of the importance of the right of the people to keep and bear arms to the security of a free state. As we watch the Ukrainian people defend their own nation against a tyrannical and totalitarian regime insistent on crushing their freedom and autonomy, Ranjit’s post is even more timely this year than it was 12 months ago.
Clear Thinking About Taxing Guns :: 03/28/2022
We are strange creatures. We see the world and build mental models of how the world works. Soon, those models become more significant to us than reality itself. That is dangerous when so much of our “experience” is from the news and entertainment media. We think our tiny screens show us what is really happening. We want to be carful about what we put into our heads.

You know you’ve missed the mark as a Democratic lawmaker when even gun control supporters aren’t lining up to back your new pet piece of legislation. Pennsylvania state Rep. Darisha Parker, a Democrat from Philadelphia, may have thought she struck gun control gold with her idea to mandate gun locks be sold with every long gun in the state, but instead it looks more like she’s striking out with both Second Amendment supporters and anti-gun activists.

Hawaii doesn’t like armed citizens. While the state likes to think of itself as paradise–and they’re not wrong in oh-so-many ways–the truth of the matter is that if you value your right to keep and bear arms, the Aloha State is probably not for you.
Opinion: 'Constitutional' gun carry helps law-abiding people defend themselves :: 03/26/2022
Gun-control advocates keep making the same predictions of doom and bloodshed from law-abiding citizens having guns for protection. They warn us of pending disaster if Georgia becomes the 23rd state to adopt so-called Constitutional Carry rules that would allow law-abiding adults who legally own a handgun to conceal-carry it without a permit. Thirty-four states already allow open carry without a permit.

NBC News and PA Attorney General Josh Shapiro's Office Commit Felonies by Manufacturing a Firearm for NBC News...When will Charges be Filed? Was AG Josh Shapiro Complicit in the Federal and State Violations of Law? :: 03/25/2022
In a recent NBC News video that was reported on by Ammoland, Reporter and the “team at NBC News” decided to investigate what they termed “ghost guns,” including the process to purchase one. However, they didn’t stop there. As declared in the video, Reporter Hillyard started out in Philadelphia, at a gun show where he purchases a hunk of plastic, and thereafter, declares that two weeks later he “returned to Pennsylvania and met up with special agents from the AG’s Office, who agreed to use the kit we purchased from the show and build it into a ghost gun. We won’t show you all the steps but for the agents it only took some drilling.” (From the video, it is clear that there are at least two agents from the PA AG’s Office involved in the unlawful manufacture and transfer of a firearm in the absence of a federal firearm license, as discussed below)
