By Joshua Underwood We’re proud to call Oregon our home. We appreciate that Oregonians don’t quite follow the same footsteps as others. That’s why the firearms we make at Radian Weapons aren’t ordinary. They’re the very best we can make from Oregon, by Oregonians. Imagine our surprise when we learn our lawmakers in Salem are […]
By DAVID PORTER Associated Press NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey’s attorney general announced a lawsuit Friday against a California company that sells mail-order firearms parts that can be turned into working weapons, the first such action the state has taken since it banned so-called ghost guns last year. The lawsuit filed Thursday alleges that […]
[ED: Those who push for gun control continually advocate for giving more money to the Centers of Disease Control for “gun violence” research. They claim the CDC is prevented from looking into firearms injury and homicide data by the NRA. Or Something. It simply isn’t true. The Dickey Amendment simply prevents the CDC from using […]
Mike McDaniel You’ll find several buildings of note in any American city. Among them, the courthouse and at least one major church. In the courthouse, lawyers and judges ply their trade. The rule of law is observed and, sometimes, realized. In the church, men, women and children of all races come together to worship God in faith […]
[ED: This is the first of a new series of weekly posts that will discuss and analyze some of the week’s most prominent stories affecting gun rights and the law.] Matthew Larosiere What a week for the inaugural gun law roundup, where we break down recent developments—using that term in the loosest sense—in the right […]
By Mark Oliva Today, I wrestled a bear. It wasn’t big, just five pounds. Still, it had claws and a whole lot of attitude. I joined the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Tom Decker, a wildlife biologist for the Service’s Wildlife and Sport Fishing Restoration program, and Harry Spiker of the Maryland Department of Natural […]
You may remember the plight of Shaneen Allen, a 27-year-old medical professional and mother of two who was arrested for possession of a handgun and hollow point ammunition in New Jersey. The incident raised quite a bit of commentary on hollow point ammunition restrictions. Allen was merely visiting New Jersey when stopped for a minor traffic violation. She […]
By Larry Keane Memories are short in Washington, D.C. That is, at least, when it’s convenient for a presidential bid. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) visited New Hampshire voters last week, trying to make her mark in a crowded Democratic primary field. As a tactic, she decided to demonize firearms manufacturers. We’re not going to stay […]
Reader Steve Cañón writes: Many comments made by readers on TTAG seems to indicate that too many gun owners are fighting the last war. “Assault weapons” bans, bump stock prohibitions, registration, etc. Many expect the ever-increasing gun control laws in this country to eventually result in and armed, kitted-up special teams going through neighborhoods, house-to-house, […]
By Robert B. Young, MD Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership sees lots of “studies” marketed as gun control justification that we don’t have time to report on in detail, though they all should be. Thankfully, they often are reviewed by other Second Amendment advocates. We thought we’d catch up on a few. “California’s comprehensive background check […]
By NRA-ILA On Thursday, the Connecticut Supreme Court created a dangerous new exception to the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA), a strong safeguard for our right to keep and bear arms. Repealing or judicially nullifying the PLCAA has been a priority for the gun ban lobby ever since the law was enacted […]
By Duane Liptak Lawmakers in Olympia are convinced they’ve found the solution to solving the crime problem. Reducing crime, they seem to agree, is just a matter of reducing the capacity of how many rounds of ammunition can go into a magazine. They just can’t seem to agree what that number should be.
