New Gun Buyers Aren’t Who Most Think They Are :: 12/20/2020
Ever since the pandemic was clearly going to be a pandemic, we watched as gun sales increased exponentially. Millions of Americans went and bought guns. To make matters even more interesting was that despite the media telling us more and more Americans wanted gun control, most of the gun buyers were first-time customers. They were people who’d never owned a gun before in their life, but now wanted something.
Pittsburgh's Peduto Joins Anti-"Ghost Gun" Bandwagon :: 12/20/2020
The way Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto seems to frame it, his anti-gun push was because of what happened at the Tree of Life Synagogue a couple of years ago. After all, a mayor is supposed to do something after a mass shooting in his community, and so trying to ban so-called assault weapons in defiance of state law falls under the heading of “doing something.”
The ATF's Latest Announcement Shows the Agency 'Has Gone Off The Deep End' :: 12/20/2020
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is a federal law enforcement agency that is not well-received among those who fight to protect our Second Amendment rights. And rightfully so. If Democrats had their way, this agency would be expanded and part of the effort to confiscate firearms the Left views as “scary” looking. To use their lexicon, those “assault weapons” they rail against on a daily basis.

Howard Stern Just Dropped A Lot Of Truth About Gun Control :: 12/19/2020
Howard Stern said the call for increased gun control in the wake of the Orlando attack is ridiculous, because gun control won’t stop the bad guys from hurting people.
State Sen. Blames Gun Industry For "Killing Black America" :: 12/19/2020
A firearm is a tool. It’s a device that, in and of itself, does nothing. Guns don’t just go off. They don’t hurt people out of the blue. They don’t really do anything. No, for them to do something, a person has to enter the picture.

6 First Gun Control Measures To Expect From A Biden Administration :: 12/18/2020
If we have a Joe Biden administration in the White House on Jan. 20, we will have the most overtly anti-gun president in American history.
DRGO: We need honest debate and rigorous research on gun control :: 12/18/2020
The Hill recently published an opinion by Griffin Dix allegedly exposing a “time bomb under President-elect Biden’s doormat.” The time-bomb wasn’t a bogus dossier, FBI agents lying in order to spy on Biden’s campaign, or a special counsel to investigate Hunter Biden. It was, rather, the appointment of renowned but controversial researcher John R. Lott Jr. as a senior advisor for research and statistics at the Office of Justice Programs at the Department of Justice.

NYPD Says Release of Gun Suspects Has Fueled Shooting Spike :: 12/18/2020

New ATF Power Play Could Impact Millions Of Gun Owners :: 12/17/2020
The proposed rule change won’t be officially published until Friday, but a draft document of the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, and Explosives’ new plans for pistols with stabilizing braces has been published to the Federal Register, and gun owners, Second Amendment activists, and manufacturers of the devices are already crying foul.
Sheriff Candidate Running On Not Enforcing Unconstitutional Laws :: 12/17/2020
When the Second Amendment sanctuary movement got underway, it was driven a lot by county sheriffs. Some unilaterally announced they wouldn’t be enforcing unconstitutional gun laws while others urged county commissions to codify it in law.
Why Gun People Don’t Trust Politicians Words :: 12/17/2020
In the course of my day, I read a lot of letters to the editor. A proverbial ton of the. Many are pro-gun, many are anti-gun, but most simply restate things we’ve seen a thousand times in a thousand different places. While the editorial page of the local newspaper used to be the place to engage in political debate, the modern era has rendered it to a spot where new facts or ideas are rarely introduced.
Are Democrats pulling an Operation Fast and Furious scam? :: 12/16/2020
During Obama’s first term, his Attorney General, Eric Holder, implemented Operation Fast and Furious. The ostensible purpose was for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) to catch straw purchasers who bought guns in America and sold them in Mexico. ATF blew it and taxpayer-funded guns vanished into Mexico. A secondary goal, though, was to try to convince Americans that guns are bad, to drive gun control laws. When I read about Democrats flooding cities with gun crime suspects, I wonder if they’re trying the same psychological trick again.
Decorated general: Dems used software as a weapon :: 12/16/2020
A retired Air Force general says the software programs he is convinced were used to steal the 2020 election must be exposed, or future elections will suffer dire consequences.
Pistol Brace Criminalization and How to SBR a Pistol :: 12/16/2020
U.S.A. –-(AmmoLand.com)- I'm hearing too many rumors over pistol brace criminalization to ignore this distinct and real possibility. I’ve lost my perspective somewhat on what ‘regulations' some agencies are willing to enshrine. With each significant question I've faced in my life, I've pondered two things. First, whom do I seek to serve with my actions? Second, who ultimately, are the beneficiaries of the intended outcome? I seriously doubt these are the kinds of ethical quandaries ATF considers with their regulations. Simply translated, our pistol braced weapons might well be on the chopping block.
Senator-Elect Nails It On Biden Gun Tax :: 12/16/2020
With President-Elect Joe Biden, we know what we’re going to get. He’s been a rabid anti-gunner for decades and he’s not about to change any time soon. He ran in the primary on gun control and while not much was said about guns in the general election thanks to a compliant media, he also didn’t exactly hide his anti-gun beliefs. I mean, they were right there on his website for all the world to see.
Are You Suffering From Post-Constitutional Syndrome? :: 12/15/2020
Are you suffering from a post-concussive shock after the Supreme Court declined to hear the Texas election challenge case against Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia? For many of the case’s supporters, it felt like a whack on the side of the head with a 2×4. What you are actually suffering from is post-Constitutional syndrome. Second Amendment rights activists and gun owners have been suffering from this disillusioning malady for more than a decade.
Come And Take It: Gun Range Defies COVID Shutdown Order :: 12/15/2020
A northern Minnesota gun range is open for business, despite being warned by the state Attorney General that the range is violating Gov. Tim Walz’s COVID-19 shutdown orders. Dead on Arms actually did shut down briefly back in the spring under the governor’s original shutdown order, which specifically referenced indoor shooting ranges, but Chad Walsh, who owns the range outside of Duluth, says the governor’s latest emergency declaration shouldn’t apply to his training facility.
