Now, some preliminary numbers are in as to how […]
You don’t have to know anything about guns to support (or finance) more limits on the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. All you have to know is that you hate guns and the stupid people who own them. While defending his permit-to-purchase proposal, Bloomberg drew a confused analogy between requiring a permit […]
If you haven’t read Jeremy’s excellent review of the original Smith & Wesson M&P Shield EZ pistol, you should. It’s an awfully good .380 ACP carry gun that’s easy to rack and geared for the new carrier and those with limited hand strength. It’s a very good choice if a first concealed carry pistol. Now […]
Three civilians and a police officer were killed during a gun battle in Jersey City, New Jersey yesterday. The two shooters were ultimately shot and killed by police.

Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro has a new national goal: He’s going to expand his massive private army to 4 million gunmen by the end of 2020. Another triumph of socialism! And never mind that the policies of Maduro and his late predecessor, Hugo Chávez, have brought the nation to ruin, with all but the rulers and […]

As we learned when he was Chief of the Austin PD, Houston’s Police Chief Art Acevedo never misses a chance to politicize an issue or come down on the side of more gun control laws. Acevedo addressed the press after a HPD sergeant was shot and killed while responding to a domestic violence call […]
Occasional TTAG contributor Patrick Roberts has expanded on our post from earlier today about the new gun from GLOCK, mixed in more info he’s turned up and added some old fashioned elbow grease, all of which adds to the information available about tomorrow’s announcement.

The intertubes have been afire with speculation since GLOCK announced a couple of weeks ago that they’d be revealing some big news tomorrow. Just like the Kremlinologists of the 1970s and 1980s, people of the gun have been engaging in plenty of GLOCKology, trying to divine what it is the company has up its sleeve. […]
