A lot has changed at Kalashnikov USA since it was created to import firearms from Russia’s Kalashnikov Concern. K-USA had to change course after sanctions stopped any firearm-related imports from the country in 2014. That’s when Kalashnikov USA went into the gun-making business. Well, they sort of did. SHOT Show attendees have seen a lot […]
Weatherby made news last year when they decided to abandon their longtime gun-hostile home state of California for the friendlier surroundings of Wyoming. They’ve just announced the first new line of firearms to come out of their new Sheridan HQ. We’ve been fans of their shotguns for a while. Their Element line of semi-autos punch […]
As you’ve probably heard by now, the Connecticut Supreme Court over-ruled a lower court ruling to allow a lawsuit by the survivors and heirs of the Sandy Hook shooting to go forward.

That madness that afflicts some people this time of year seems to have even affected the good people of central Iowa.

They apparently didn’t want armed school resource officers or teachers carrying firearms. So they did this . . . Most of the teachers in Jay Schools don’t know where each building’s handgun is kept. They also don’t know which of their co-workers are trained to use it. Neither do the students nor their parents. Here’s what they […]

As the enormity of last week’s mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand unfolded, Labour Party Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern wasted no time in announcing that she’d be clamping down on civilian gun ownership. The next day, NZ Attorney General David Parker told a crowd that the government would ban semi-automatic guns in the island nation. Unfortunately […]
