Buckle up, mall ninjas. It’s time to talk about the military’s choice of 6.8mm bullets for their rifles. I would say that I want this to be a detailed and well-mannered article, but I know that some of you just can’t handle a civil discussion so I’m going to put this out there in layman’s […]
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 […]
As John noted yesterday, the Connecticut Supreme Court indulged the effects of political pressure over interpreting the law when it ruled that a lawsuit against Remington Arms Company brought by the families of the Sandy Hook shooting victims could go forward. They based their decision on the way that Bushmaster rifles were advertised. The court […]
The shooter who killed 49 and wounded another 48 in two Christchurch, New Zealand mosques described himself as an “eco-fascist” in a rambling 74-page manifesto he wrote laying out his “philosophy” and why he chose to commit mass murder. The killer covered his two weapons, a shotgun and a semi-automatic rifle, with grafriti. Here’s […]
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. The fallacy is […]
I was picking up my daughter from her elementary school on a day like any other. We decided, as we often do, to hang out there instead of going straight home so she and her younger sister could play on the playground with some of their friends. About 15 minutes into it there was an […]
By Larry Keane Time and again, we hear from those advocating for more gun control laws who intone with a sense of moral superiority that we need to have a “conversation” on guns. The goal, they say, is to reduce violence, suggesting that they are somehow more evolved. Yet, just this week, some anti-gun activists […]

After eliminating guns from 10 of their stores last year, Dick’s Sporting Goods is pulling all firearms and hunting gear from 125 of their 850 Dick’s and 35 Field & Stream stores. According to Fox Business: The in-store sections will be replaced with “merchandise categories that can drive growth,” (CEO Ed Stack) said. Following a […]
Marion Hammer, the the first female NRA president (1995-1998) and now a board member, had some rather harsh comments about NRATV for the New York Times. The Times, hardly a fan of the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, has run yet another hit piece on the group. And Marion Hammer gave them a juicy quote […]
Before Hugo Chavez took a dirt nap, he enacted the Control of Arms, Munitions and Disarmament Law. It banned everyday Venezuelans from owning guns or ammunition, and confiscated those that were privately owned. More recently, as the inevitable effects of Bolivarian socialism have wrecked their once-prosperous country, Venezuelans have wished they had those firearms back […]
“Experts” confounded by an increase in gun ownership in California. It’s almost as if telling people they can’t have an item designed for self-defense makes them want it more.
