Smith & Wesson and Sturm, Ruger & Co. are being pressured by minority shareholders – and the odd protest – to “do something” about gun violence. Granted, both companies are being castigated in the press by what appear to be activist investors; various groups buy just enough shares in the company and then use them […]
Yes, it’s been a while since we posted the last entry to get in under the deadline of our annual Summer Content Contest, but it’s been a busy end of summer/beginning of fall here at TTAG Central Command. Patience is a virtue, though, even if it’s not one all of our readers share in equal […]
“Ten years ago, when the Supreme Court recognized that the Second Amendment protects the right to keep guns for self-defense, it said ‘nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons.’ Yet if the right to protect oneself against aggressors is “fundamental,” as the Court said […]
The group Betsy Riot specializes in childish vandalism in their quest to oppose their fellow Americans’ civil rights. They paste stickers, hang illegal signs, paint graffiti and deface traffic signs with crude, profane anti-gun messages. In 2016, they mailed Christmas cards with graphic imagery of gunshot wounds to a variety of high-profile gun folks including Robert […]
In the (not so) olden days, we had Operation Choke Point. That was the Obama Justice Department’s 2013 effort to squeeze firearms-related firms by threatening banks and other financial institutions that dared to do business with them. That legal and financial intimidation finally ended in 2017 with the change of administrations. Now that the federal government’s […]
My good friend and a strong defender of the Second Amendment is throwing his hat into the ring for a third time. Adam Kraut has announced that he’s running again for an NRA Board of Directors seat. For those who don’t know him, Adam is a lawyer and former gun store manager who deals exclusively with firearms-related cases. He’s has […]

Jason, a well-known hunter in the outdoor industry, was 47 at the time. He leaves behind a wife and two children. Jason Hairston got his start not in the outdoor industry […]
A year ago, I wrote about the left’s civil war heating up in America. Since then, Antifa and company continue their armed marches against freedom and liberty. Initially, Antifa groups got away scot-free, beating Trump supporters bloody while, of course, calling them fascists and Nazis. More recently though, Antifa’s masked thugs have been the ones suffering […]
The intent of the Founding Fathers in including the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights was to ensure that the American citizen had uninhibited access to the armament equivalent to that of the standard infantry soldier. That right is there as a check on potential tyranny. As you are likely aware, the Founders’ intent […]
I read the comments of my articles when I either want to know what my readers want to see in future pieces or just to get the occasional laugh. We have some very knowledgable readers here whose comments I really enjoy. One of those is ‘Dyspeptic Gunsmith’ and his accurate pronouncements on various gun-related topics […]
The US Department on Education — a federal agency with no clear purpose or need — conducts something called the Civil Rights Data Collection survey every two years. They ask all 96,000 public schools around the country hundreds of questions about all aspects of their operations, ostensibly to better craft education policy. They’ve just published […]
Mark lives Georgia where it can be plenty steamy this time of year. So he totes a pocketable pistol, a reliable blade (or two) and the means to ensure fresh breath at all times. What else is really necessary?
