Gun control laws are rooted in racism in this country and disproportionately affect lower income people. These restrictions make keeping and bearing arms more expensive and difficult for people most often affected by crime. Those two facts probably play a large part in Gallup finding that, despite cities defunding and cutting back police services nationwide, […]
Michigan-based Trijicon has sued HOLOSUN for infringement of a patent that’s the basis for Trijicon’s popular RMR and SRO pistol red dot sights. As Bloomberg Quint reports . . . Trijicon Inc. filed a patent complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission on July 29, saying that Holosun Technologies Inc., of Los Angeles County, is […]
“We simply ask that anybody who might want to criticize Sgt. Perry’s actions, picture themselves trapped in a car as a masked stranger raises an assault rifle in their direction and reflect upon what they might have done if faced with the split-second decision faced by Sgt. Perry that evening.” The most important part of […]
Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey has been a big supporter of the Black Lives Matter Movement. In June, she decided not to charge any of the ‘peaceful’ protesters who violated the state’s strict assembly and social distancing restrictions in order to protest the death of George Floyd. The cause was too important to […]
Our friends who run Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun agitprop generation operation, TheTrace.org, have introduced a new tool to illustrate the current gun sales surge and put in in perspective historically. They say they’re cobbling together their numbers using data from Small Arms Analytics along with the noted firearms experts at BuzzFeed News and the New York […]
The activists who organized after the Parkland shooting say they have built up their organizing capacity since then, and they remain committed to making at least as significant a difference in 2020 as they did in 2018. But this year, they say, a big part of that will mean building solidarity with organizers confronting racial […]
If there’s an individual who trains more new shooters on basic gun safety and basic gun handling skills than Rick Ector, we don’t know who that is. Ector and his Michigan operation, Legally Armed in Detroit (LAID), holds a training extravaganza each year, giving scores of Motor City women lessons in gun handling, shooting and […]
From the NSSF: The July 2020 NSSF-adjusted National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) figure of 1,848,307 is an increase of 122.5 percent compared to the July 2019 NSSF-adjusted NICS figure of 830,579. For comparison, the unadjusted July 2020 FBI NICS figure 3,614,192 reflects an 80.3 percent increase from the unadjusted FBI NICS figure of 2,004,277 in July 2019. Please note: Twenty-five states currently have at least one […]
This is a natural result of hamstringing and defunding police departments. We’ve seen a similar situation in Seattle when the chief of police notified businesses that, given new prohibitions on the use of less lethal tools, Seattle cops are virtually helpless in stopping property crimes. Business owners are therefore on their own. Cities like Minneapolis, […]
This has long been the goal of the gun industry: to expand the demographics of its client base beyond rifle-toting hunters to include more women and others with a desire to conceal palm-sized weapons for self-protection. “You’re now selling to the little old Catholic nun, the person who never in their life has owned a […]
In case you hadn’t noticed, this is an election year, and a rather important one gun rights-wise. That’s why Ruger is rolling out the latest in their Collector Series of 10/22 rifles with the flag-draped Vote 2020 10/22. In addition to the stars and stripes finish, the Vote 2020 10/22 comes with a few extras […]
Many people might believe that the state has a legal “public duty” to protect their lives and persons. This theory is dubious, and in fact, it has failed in court when put to the test. In the 1981 case Warren v. District of Columbia, the Washington government successfully argued that it had no such obligation to […]
