GOP Senators Want Answers From Biden On UN Gun Treaty :: 09/29/2021
The United Nations’ Arms Trade Treaty has been around for close to two decades now, and while the U.S. Senate has never ratified the treaty itself, Barack Obama signed on to the treaty when he was president. Donald Trump, however, “unsigned” the treaty back in 2019, and that’s where matters have stood ever since. Not long ago, however, a Biden administration official made some public remarks that suggest the White House is back on board the treaty, and now 36 Republican senators are asking for some “clarity” from Biden about his position on the international gun control treaty.
WaPo: Rising Murder Rates Means It's Time For Gun Control :: 09/29/2021
Of course, they were calling for the same gun control laws when the nation’s homicide rate was steadily declining for years, but they’d prefer you not remember that. With the FBI reporting the biggest one-year spike in homicides since they started keeping track, and since that spike coincides with the biggest one-year increase in gun sales since the start of the NICS system two decades ago, the editors at the Washington Post know that it’s easy, however dishonest, to equate correlation with causation.

Homicides Soared Almost 30 Percent According To FBI :: 09/28/2021
With the start of the pandemic, we watched as a lot of crime kind of ground to a halt. After all, people were locked down in so many places that criminals couldn’t roam the streets and not elicit attention to some degree. That put the kibosh on a lot of stuff.
Media Trying To Link Collierville Shooting To Constitutional Carry :: 09/28/2021
In theory, if a journalist is doing their job properly, nothing is included in a story but what is relevant. You don’t include a murder victim’s favorite color when you’re simply reporting that a murder happened, for example. Yet those rules seem to be going out the window in the case of the Collierville shooting.

David Hogg: Gun Control Will Win Because Gun Owners Are Old And Dying Off :: 09/27/2021

My Time with the FBI :: 09/26/2021
From the early 1990s onward, I was exposing FBI crimes, lies, and cover-ups. FBI director Louis Freeh publicly denounced me after I wrote a Wall Street Journal piece on the FBI’s killing of an innocent mother holding her baby at Ruby Ridge, Idaho. I continued hammering FBI abuses in the Journal, Playboy, American Spectator, and other publications.
NC Gun Safety Course Teaching Kids To Handle Firearms :: 09/26/2021
One occupational hazard of covering Second Amendment news is probably the fact you hear the phrase “gun safety” misused so often you might develop a sort of twitch whenever you read/hear it.

Where Have All the Officers Gone? :: 09/26/2021
After the police department in this midsize mountain city lost more than a third of its force to resignations and retirements last year, bringing in seven new academy graduates in December seemed like a small step in the right direction.
Why A Weakened NRA Isn't Leading To Gun Control :: 09/26/2021
The NRA has long been the boogieman for anti-Second Amendment activists. They blame the group for pretty much everything short of COVID-19, and I think they’re trying to work out a way to blame them for the pandemic.
Beto O'Rouke Says He's Still Coming For Your Guns :: 09/25/2021
Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke is still officially mulling what’s expected to soon be an official run for governor of Texas, and if so he’ll make history as the first candidate in land of “Come and Take It” to run on a platform of “Okay, I will!”

Biden Wants Your 9 mm And ... :: 09/24/2021
During a CNN “town hall” meeting in late July, President Joe Biden (D) said he wants to outlaw America’s most-popular handgun: the 9 mm semi-automatic pistol.
Defensive Gun Uses Happen Far More Often Than Homicides :: 09/24/2021
One thing we don’t hear the media talk much about is defensive gun use. Armed citizens use a firearm to protect themselves or others quite a bit–the actual numbers are unknown, but estimates vary from hundreds of thousands to millions per year–so you’d think this is something we’d hear a lot about in the media.
