College Student Disciplined Over Photo With Rifle :: 07/17/2020
A Fordham University student says he’s being forced to undergo “political re-education” after running afoul of campus administrators after posting a picture of himself holding a rifle and referencing the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Andrew Tong tells the Epoch Times that officials at Fordham declared that he had violated the university’s regulations “relating to bias/and or hate crimes” as well as the school’s policy against “threats/intimidation” with two social media posts.
Excuse Me? Look What's Buried Way Down in That WaPo Piece About How New Gun Purchases Led to Spikes in Crime :: 07/17/2020
The June background check numbers were insane. With the beginning of the COVID lockdowns and the George Floyd riots that followed, scores of law-abiding Americans have flocked to gun stores. This isn’t shocking. The Floyd riots showed that the police cannot protect you all the time, and when coupled with political leadership that hates and hamstrings cops, the results are even more chaotic.
UK Government Blasted For Racist Weapons Policy :: 07/17/2020
Anti-gunners often point to the United Kingdom as some kind of beacon of sane thought on firearms. They routinely argue that we’re doing it all wrong and we should follow the lead of England.

LA Clippers Owner Makes Massive Donation To Bloomberg Gun Control Group :: 07/16/2020
I’m pretty sure that Everytown for Gun Safety was doing just fine thanks to the financial largess of their billionaire founder Michael Bloomberg, but the gun control organization now has a second anti-gun sugar daddy to thank after Los Angeles Clippers owner Steve Ballmer cut the group a $7-million check this week.

(Natural News) On July 3rd of this year, Natural News reported that communist China was trafficking full-auto weapons parts into Florida as a way to arm Black Lives Matter terrorists in advance of a planned armed uprising / revolution.

DRGO: Threats to Gun Ownership Amid the Chaos :: 07/15/2020
The first quarter of 2020 was marked by the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic which has affected almost every aspect of our lives. The second quarter of 2020 has seen rising tensions over police brutality and the wider societal effects of racism. These issues have left few areas of American life without turmoil, and few Americans without stress. Second Amendment rights continue to face challenges, and 2020 has not left them free from attack.
For Want of a Nail :: 07/15/2020
If it seems like I'm angry, it's only because I am. Unless you've been living under the same rotting log inhabited by the slimy, multilegged leadership of the Democrat Party, you know that a St. Louis couple's legally-owned AR-15 rifle was stolen by the police after the couple's lives and property were more than credibly threatened by a howling Bolshevik Lives Matter mob, and they displayed their personal weapons to discourage such behavior.
Gun Control's Black Lives Matter Problem :: 07/15/2020
Gun-control advocates have reason to worry that their support for the police will make them the next casualty of cancel culture.
A Catholic Case for the Second Amendment :: 07/14/2020
The Fourth of July weekend in Chicago had more to do with firearms than fireworks, with 49 shootings, 60 victims, and 14 fatalities. A 10-year-old girl was killed in her home by a stray bullet, shot through the head. A toddler was killed in his car seat by another stray bullet, shot through the chest. The Windy City, logging 324 murders for 2020 at the time of this writing, is reeling in a storm of reckless crime with tempers flaring, police retreating, and guns blazing. This spike of homicidal sickness can be seen in other major U.S. cities as well.
Biden's Policing Policies Will Endanger Police, Raise Crime Rates, and Hurt Blacks :: 07/14/2020
Joe Biden doesn’t understand the risks and dangers involved in policing. Police have a tough and dangerous job, and armored military vehicles, shields and military-grade body armor can save officers’ lives.
Gun Control Narrative Shifts as More Americans See Importance of 2A :: 07/14/2020
The narrative on guns in the U.S. has taken a dramatic shift in 2020 amid a global pandemic and civil unrest that led thousands into the streets in protest.
Shootings Soar After Portland Ends Police Gun Violence Reduction Team :: 07/14/2020
Police violence is gun violence, or so says Shannon Watts and other gun control activists, but in Portland, Oregon, the dismantling of the police department’s Gun Violence Reduction Team has coincided with a spike in shootings across the city. KPTV in Portland is reporting that the number of shootings in July of this year is almost 400% higher than July of 2019, and the Portland Police Chief Chuck Lowell is hinting that that the elimination of the police unit may be contributing to the spike in crime.
Gottlieb: Gun Control Groups' Use Of PPP Funds An "Outrage" :: 07/13/2020
As the Washington Free Beacon‘s Stephen Gutowski reported over the weekend, at least two of the nation’s largest gun control groups have relied on loans from the federally-funded Paycheck Protection Program to keep staffers on the payroll over the past few months, even as the gun control groups have vowed to spend millions of dollars promoting anti-gun candidates in the 2020 elections.
Gun Control Advocate: Police Violence Is Gun Violence :: 07/13/2020
For several weeks now, I’ve been pointing out the fact that the Defund Police movement cannot comfortably co-exist with the modern gun control movement, though gun control advocates are desperate to ignore the inherent contradiction between the movement to de-police our cities while imposing all kinds of new gun laws that will be enforced by armed agents of the State. Most gun control groups would rather pretend that their gun laws don’t create non-violent, possessory gun crimes, and they refuse to acknowledge that all of their efforts amount to an attempt to arrest our way to safety.
One Pistol In Jamaica Proves The Futility Of Gun Bans :: 07/13/2020
If gun control worked, Jamaica would be a true tropical paradise. The island nation has incredibly restrictive gun control laws, with fewer than 45,000 legally owned firearms among the nation’s 3-million residents, but the nation’s homicide rate is one of the worst in the world; 47 homicides per 100,000 people in 2018, compared to the U.S. homicide rate of 5 per 100,000. Of course, to hear anti-gun activists explain it, the reason for Jamaica’s violence is simple: it’s the lack of gun control laws in the United States that’s leading to violent crime in Jamaica. As the New York Times opined last year:
Chicago Politicians Should Quit Blaming Indiana For Their Criminals :: 07/12/2020
It’s been another violent weekend in Chicago, with at least five people killed in less than 24 hours between Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Unfortunately, Chicago politicians like Lori Lightfoot and Rep. LaShawn Ford continue to complain about Indiana gun laws instead of focusing on Chicago’s violent criminals. Earlier this week Mayor Lightfoot called for a federal universal background check law that she says would keep criminals from buying guns in Indiana and bringing them back to Illinois, and now Ford is demanding a database that would somehow alert Illinois police when a resident buys a gun in Indiana.
New Study On Gun Culture Really An Attack On 2A Activism :: 07/11/2020
I think we can all agree that there is no monolithic “gun culture” in the United States. With 100,000,000 gun owners, it would be silly to assume that all of us are alike. Some of us own firearms for a variety of reasons, while others may be singularly focused on competitive shooting or self-defense. However, a new paper on the various varieties of gun ownership from researchers at the Boston University School of Public Health offers a grossly simplistic view of gun owners, and ultimately serves as just another attack on Second Amendment activism by anti-gun academics.
