by Steve Davis The people who steadfastly believe in gun control live in a fantasy world. A place no more real than Skittle-crapping unicorns, winged fairies and dope-smoking caterpillars. Pretending Alice in Wonderland is true doesn’t make it reality. Let us examine some of the most common gun control fables. The world would be a […]
By Mark Houser There have been several recent efforts to impose gun control particularly on people between the ages of 18 and 21. Such restrictions were part of Washington state’s infamous Initiative 1639, and Senator Diane Feinstein is currently attempting to implement similar age-specific regulations nationwide through her Age 21 Act. There are obvious problems […]
We’ve always taken a largely hands-off approach to comments posted here at The Truth About Guns. Our readers and their participation with the site are some of its best features and the reason so many people frequent the site. We only have a couple of no-go policies around here, namely no racist comments or threats […]
Chicago’s new mayor, Lori Lightfoot, blames police for Chicago’s spiraling violent crime problem. Of course, she doesn’t blame the Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx, now famous for the sweetheart deal she cut for Jussie Smollett. Nor does she blame soft-on-crime judges, affordable bail, dysfunctional neighborhoods or the absence of fathers in families. It could […]
New Jersey’s new law requiring all gun stores in the state to sell so-called smart guns is the first step toward outlawing traditional firearms. This law still isn’t as bad as it might be… yet. It only says that the guns have to be available for purchase. But it clearly paves the way for later legislation […]
SLD, a retired gent from Michigan sends us his “Small town sultry summer evening carry.” While I love his description, for me “everyday carry” is pretty much everyday unless I’m going to someplace non-permissive. But heh, more power to Mr. SLD. Love the classic Colt Detective Special with Stag grips. I find them appealing, and […]
I have a love-hate relationship with Armslist. I love the idea, but I hate the scammers, the guys trying to trade tattoos for guns, and the fellas who can’t seem to ever meet at the time and place agreed upon. Occasionally, though, you find a deal or an oddity you can’t say no to and […]
By Larry Keane Animal rights activists are at it again and now they’ve enlisted the support of New York City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. The Nonhuman Rights Project Inc.’s latest target is the Bronx Zoo. The offending act is that zookeepers there deign to care for two grown elephants, Happy and Patty, in captivity. Apparently, […]
Chicago has a crime problem. And a criminal justice system problem that’s just as bad. In fact, the two go hand in hand as criminals feel emboldened by an utter lack of meaningful consequences to gun criminal behavior. A case this week exemplifies this perfectly. A drunk father, holding a loaded, stolen 9mm handgun threatens […]
The House of Representatives has moved to block the Trump Administration from easing its small arms export policy last week. Right now, exporting small arms like Ruger 10/22 rifles is treated the same as F-35 fighters. The Trump Administration wants to change that. Or, they say they do. From Reuters… House votes to block Trump […]
We present the following without further comment. Shooting things in games is intrinsically compelling. Firing, watching something blow up, and then seeing our score ping higher on the screen creates an exciting feedback loop that gives us immediate agency and power. Shooters are the most popular genre of video game in the U.S. and account for […]
Oregon Guy sends his “My EDC” for today’s pocket dump of the day, courtesy Everyday Carry. That’s quite an upgraded GLOCK 43 with Streamlight 69270 TLR-6 Tactical Pistol Light with Red Laser. Glad to see his sights aren’t standard. Probably some sort of tritium night sights or a fiber optic sight. He writes that he […]
