Is it the Gun or the Person that Causes Violence? :: 07/10/2022
Recently we’ve heard a lot of claims and counter-claims about modern rifles. We can call them “modern” but these guns are not new. Honest gun owners use them every day.

This "new approach to prevent gun violence" is really about preventing gun ownership :: 07/08/2022
Despite the anti-gun legislative backlash to the Supreme Court’s decision in NYSRPA v. Bruen that we’ve seen in blue states from California to New York, the gun control lobby knows that it’s been dealt a serious blow.
