What the New York Times Refused to Report About the Gun Industry :: 05/07/2021
U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- When The New York Times tells America they publish “All the News That’s Fit to Print,” what they’re really saying is that it’s only the news that fits their narrative.
Are Americans Becoming Sovietized? :: 05/06/2021
What ultimately ended the nihilist Soviet system? Was it not that Russians finally tired of the Kremlin’s lies and hypocrisies that permeated every facet of their falsified lives?

West Virginia Governor Signs Second Amendment Preservation Act :: 05/06/2021
West Virginia – -(AmmoLand.com)- West Virginia has joined the list of Second Amendment sanctuaries with the passage of HB2694, the 2nd Amendment Preservation Act. Governor Jim Justice signed the measure into law, meaning it will take effect on July 9, according to the website of the West Virginia state legislature.
A Campus Carry Flashback Reveals Unfounded Fears :: 05/05/2021
Kansas has been in the news lately for its passage of Constitutional Carry legislation, which includes dropping the age for concealed carry to 18 (with a background check, training, and a permit requirement for adults in the 18-20 age group). Gov. Laura Kelly vetoed the legislation, citing “on-campus carry at state colleges and universities as her primary reason for rejecting HB2058.” Her veto has been overridden by the state Legislature. This has resulted in the usual howls of protest, but at this juncture, it helps to recall what happened in the not-too-distant past.
Anti-Gun Studies And Anti-Gun Shenanigans :: 05/05/2021
I spend a fair bit of time looking at what I call anti-gun studies. For them to be labeled as such, they not just have to have a finding that somehow works against the Second Amendment, but for there to also be some degree of shenanigans in how the data was obtained or presented.
Losing Trust in Politicians and the News Media :: 05/05/2021
The business of politics is to sell favors to influential special interests. That is how politicians like the Clintons, Obamas, and Pelosis became multi-millionaires. Today’s politicians have divided us into so many small factions that the favors they give to one group collide with the special interests they already granted to earlier groups. Simply stated, big-government politicians have made so many excuses for political abuse that they are now contradicting themselves. In theory, the media is supposed to scrutinize politicians rather than cheerlead for ever-greater government corruption. That didn’t happen. The accumulated political contradictions we see today help explain why both politicians and the media have lost our trust. Two more glaring examples caught my eye last week.
2A Incrementalism vs All or Nothing: Restoring Second Amendment Rights :: 05/04/2021

'Ghost Gun' Arrest Proves Futility Of Such Bans :: 05/04/2021
Anti-gunners have been on a ghost gun tirade lately. They don’t like them and they want to ban them so none of us can have them. That’s their thinking, anyway.

Oregon Pro-Gun Rally A Lesson In Media Relations :: 05/04/2021
The media in Oregon isn’t likely to be supportive of the pro-gun position. Especially not in larger cities. That’s the model we see throughout the nation, of course, but in a place like that, it’s likely to be far worse. That means media relations there need to be in every pro-gunners’ mind.
NYTimes: ATF Is Key To Biden's Gun Control Plans :: 05/03/2021
It looks like a confirmation hearing for the former ATF agent turned gun control activists who Joe Biden nominated to run the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives will take place in just a few weeks, and the administration appears to be engaging in a bit of pre-hearing spin with the help of the New York Times. In a lengthy new piece, reporters Danny Hakim and Mike McIntire portray the agency that oversees our nation’s gun laws and firearms industry as the “whipping boy” for the NRA in years past, but the ATF is now at the heart of Biden’s gun control agenda.
Senate Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act Introduced :: 05/03/2021
On April 29, 2021 Senators Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.) joined Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas), Bill Hagerty (R-Tenn.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), in introducing a bill called the “Constitutional Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.” The introduction of this legislation is another step in the direction of freedom. While similar measures have been introduced in the past, it’s important to note that many laws are only instated after the corresponding bill has been introduced a few times. It’s obvious this isn’t a slam dunk to be approved this year, as there will probably not be enough support from left of center congresscritters, but it’s still important to continue to introduce such bills, and honestly, this bill could actually prove to be more popular in the Senate than the background check bills approved by House Democrats earlier this year.
Why Gun Bans Don't Stop Murderers :: 05/03/2021
Confusion by Colorado authorities over how a man who shot and killed 10 people in Boulder supermarket got the 10 30-round magazines he had with him during the atrocious crime shows how out of touch gun-control advocates can truly be.

Onward Young Socialist Soldiers: New Democrat Bill Would Conscript Kids into Politics :: 05/02/2021
You had to be at least 60 years old to become a member of ancient Greek city-state Sparta’s ruling body. Today, some Americans want 16-year-olds to vote. But now Democrats in Congress have conjured a perhaps equally bad idea:

Lawmakers Taking Wrong Lesson From Rise In Violent Crime :: 05/01/2021
The failure of gun control laws to reduce violent crime is never seen by gun control activists as a sign that maybe their ideas aren’t so beneficial after all. Instead, they always assume that the reason why their last round of gun control didn’t work is that it simply didn’t go far enough.
