Operation Reticent Recall: ATF up to new shenanigans :: 08/31/2022
One of our favorite three letter agencies is at it again. A recent report by attorney Dillon Harris of the Prince Law Offices noted that the ATF has been sending out new nasty grams to alleged customers that may have purchased Forced Reset Triggers and or so-called solvent traps. It’s not exactly known at this time how the ATF procured customer information, but the agency that’s so fond of murdering dogs and sending out malicious Valentine’s Day greetings seems to have the firm Harris is a member of without the lack of clients.
10 Tips for New Gun Writers, Podcasters and YouTubers Fighting for the RKBA :: 08/30/2022
USA – -(AmmoLand.com)- Nowadays, during what historians will likely call Obama’s third term, Joe, Kamala, and the rest of the White House commissars have targeted every link of the firearm chain: from the manufacturers who produce the weapons to the credit card processors who facilitate the transactions, to the carriers who ship the guns to the dealers – and man, have they ever targeted our gun dealers.

Gun ignorance seemingly drives some Gun Safety proponents :: 08/30/2022
Safety matters, particularly with firearms. Gun safety, as most of us understand it, is a good thing that’s protected an untold number of lives. When someone gets hurt via a negligent discharge, it’s generally the result of someone not following these basic rules.
John R. Lott: John Fetterman is wrong about voter I.D. :: 08/30/2022
Last week, Pennsylvania U.S. Senate candidate Democrat John Fetterman said that requiring a voter I.D. is “insidious and unnecessary,” “outrageous,” “illogical,” “unfair,” and “simply voter suppression.” He says that concerns about vote fraud are a myth. But if concerns about vote fraud are a delusion, it is a delusion shared by virtually all other countries and by the vast majority of American voters (79%).

About the UK not having gun crime. . . :: 08/29/2022

Philadelphia is on pace for a record-high number of homicides this year, and public officials are scrambling to show residents that they’re doing something to address the rampant levels of violence on city streets.

The gun control group March for Our Lives organized a protest outside of the governor’s mansion in Austin, Texas this weekend in an attempt to put Greg Abbott on the defensive over his response to the shootings at Robb Elementary in Uvalde back in May; a response that so far has not included any new restrictions on the right to keep and bear arms.
NSSF debunks latest anti-gun poll :: 08/29/2022
Last week, we reported on a recent poll that argued most people want gun control. I argued that such a poll is irrelevant, and I stand by that position. After all, our rights aren’t supposed to be subject to mob rule. If they were, we’d lose something every time the wind blew.
Why credit card companies tracking purchases is a problem :: 08/29/2022
There are bad people in this world. No one on the planet will deny that. So I get the desire many have to try and stop these bad people from doing bad things.
Hawaii County changes permiting process due to Bruen :: 08/28/2022
Hawaii is an extremely anti-gun state, which kind of runs counter to the descriptor of the place as absolute paradise. I mean, if you’re going to restrict my basic rights, how much of a paradise can it be?
DeSantis removes Broward County school board members after grand jury report :: 08/27/2022
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis removed and replaced four members of the Broward County school board on Friday after a grand jury that was convened to examine the failures that led up to the 2018 shootings at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida recommended the action. DeSantis said in a statement that it’s his “duty to suspend people from office when there is clear evidence of incompetence, neglect of duty, misfeasance or malfeasance”; pointing to evidence laid out in the grand jury report released last week that found the ousted board members had displayed all of those disqualifications when it came to a program called SMART.

Pennsylvania AG wrong about impact of "ghost gun" rules :: 08/27/2022
We now have rules banning the sale of “ghost gun” kits. The rule doesn’t end unserialized firearms by any stretch, but it does stop companies from selling kits that will allow someone to complete a receiver in their own workshops.
Violent crime up, arrest rates down in anti-gun California :: 08/27/2022
If gun control really worked to reduce violent crime, then why did California have the highest number of homicides in more than a decade last year? According to the latest crime statistics released by California Attorney General Rob Bonta, violent crime increased from 437 incidents per 100,000 people in 2020 to 466.2 per 100,000 residents in 2021, but rather than acknowledge the reality that the state’s gun laws aren’t preventing criminal acts of violence, activists in the state are sticking to their script and pinning the rise in crime on the availability of firearms.
Armed citizens, mass shootings, and "science" :: 08/26/2022

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul knew that Bruen would go against her state. As a result of that decision, a number of other measures were passed through, measures that looked to adhere to the decision. At least, they would if you squint.
