Beware the TAPS Act: Wholesale Domestic Surveillance of Gun Owners :: 05/25/2020
Gun owners have become accustomed to the typical types of gun grabs anti-gun politicians have rolled out in recent years. Assault weapons bans, universal background checks, and magazine bans are some of the usual proposals thrown our way. Second Amendment advocates have naturally built a strong opposition to these efforts and have generally made the gun control crowd break a sweat each time they try to advance such bills.
Demand Grows For Answers Over Possible Surveillance Of Maine Gun Owners, Others :: 05/25/2020

Memorial Day And The Fight For Freedom :: 05/25/2020
I don’t like Memorial Day. Don’t get me wrong, I respect it. I think we need it, but I still hate it. I even wish on some level that we didn’t need such a day in our holiday schedule, but we do and so we have it.
Trump Yanks ATF Chief Nomination Over Gun Answers :: 05/24/2020
In the world of guns, the head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (which really should be a convenience store. I’m just sayin’) carries a lot of weight. As we’ve seen in recent years, the ATF can ban any number of things with little more than a stroke of the pen. While no agency should have that much power to regulate our rights, the fact remains that they’ve been granted it by Congress and until the Supreme Court smacks it out of their hands, the ATF can and will do as it wishes on guns.
First-Time Gun Buyers Explain How Coronavirus Changed Their Politics :: 05/23/2020
Scott Kane went 38 years without ever touching a gun. That streak would have continued had it not been for the coronavirus. In March, fearful of the harassment his wife and child experienced over their Asian ancestry, Kane found himself in a California gun shop. His March 11 purchase of a 9mm would have been the end of the story, were it not for a political standoff over shutdown orders and background checks.
I'm Now Legal to Carry a Gun, But I Don't Want To :: 05/23/2020
You may have read in this post that I recently became a first-time gun owner. I was pleased to see that the comments offered were supportive and encouraging. I’m not really expecting the same kind of positive response to this one however.
Here's why a New York City concealed carry permit is almost impossible to obtain :: 05/22/2020
Three decades ago, it was the crime capital of the world. Now, New York City – spanning the five boroughs of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens and Staten Island – has become a mere shadow of its former self, as the coronavirus forces the population into lockdown. While overall crime rates initially fell in March, rebellion throughout May has steadily spiked, and concerns of a return to the heyday are emerging — but some bemoan that it is only the criminals who have handguns.
Malum Prohibitum: Guns Are Immoral Because They Say 'They' Are :: 05/22/2020
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Some years ago, before the smoking ban in Tennessee, my wife and I went to a new restaurant. We asked for a non-smoking table. After a while, the manager took us to a table to be seated. With a not-so-sleight-of-hand motion, he reached over and grabbed an ashtray and put it behind his back.
Suicides, Lockdowns, And The Real Risks Involved :: 05/22/2020
By now, we on the gun rights side are kind of sick of it.
Anti-Gunners Pressure Subway To Ban Open-Carry In Stores :: 05/21/2020
Anti-gun jihadists like to try and apply pressure to any business that doesn’t completely and totally toe the line. They figure out long ago that they’ll never completely win in this country. They’ll never be able to ban guns. Some states, at a minimum, will resist that to the end. Hell, the Heller decision alone makes their dreams impossible, which is why they hate it so vehemently.
Economic Group Touts Second Amendment In Times Of Scarcity :: 05/21/2020
When we think of something being “scarce,” most of us tend to think of it as something difficult to find. For example, in some places, meat is somewhat scarce. Canned goods and toilet paper have been pretty scarce for months now. Things like that.

Pensacola Gunman's Ties To Al-Quida Render Gun Control Moot :: 05/21/2020
In the wake of Pensacola, there were a lot of people who took issue with the fact the shooter could get a gun at all. Of course, that’s what happens in the wake of any high-profile shooting. By now, we should be used to it.
Shooting At Arizona Mall, At Least Three Injured :: 05/21/2020
If there’s been one upside to everyone being locked down, it’s been the fact that would-be maniacs haven’t really had an opportunity to carry out mass shootings. I mean, they’ve been stuck at home along with everyone else. There hasn’t been much in the way of opportunity.
Political skullduggery in Pennsylvania :: 05/20/2020

The Second Amendment's 27 Words Protect Gun Rights, Not Hunting :: 05/20/2020

The Shutdown May Soon Collapse in Pennsylvania Thanks to Local Resistance :: 05/20/2020
As in the rest of the country, life in Pennsylvania has been greatly disturbed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the chaos that has resulted from the state government’s attempts to handle the situation. On March 16, Governor Wolf ordered that all “nonessential” businesses be closed for at least two weeks. They are still closed today, and as a result, 1.8 million Pennsylvanians have filed for unemployment. At the end of December of last year, the state estimated that there were roughly 6 million employed persons in Pennsylvania. If we set aside all the workers whose incomes have been reduced through pay cuts or reduced hours, or who for various reasons have not filed for unemployment, still nearly a third of people who were working in December are now out of work.
Which Side Really Cares About Gun Safety, Anyway :: 05/20/2020
For some time, anti-gunners have tried their damnedest to rebrand. They know the term “gun control” is problematic, so they’ve tried to pivot. They want to be thought of as “anti-gun violence advocates” or, as in most of the cases, as “gun safety advocates.”
Above the Law: The Inside Story of How the Justice Department Tried to Subvert President Trump :: 05/19/2020
It was politically risky for the President to fire the FBI Director during an investigation of the 2016 campaign, but I admire Donald Trump for taking bold action because he thought it was the right thing to do. What’s politically expedient isn’t always the right decision, as history shows.
