By NRA-ILA The New York Times – the “paper of record” – reports that “Gun Research is Suddenly Hot.” While we’re happy to see the Times has finally acknowledged that “gun research” can survive federal restrictions on taxpayer funded gun control advocacy, there are necessary caveats here. The volume of “gun violence research” may be increasing, but the […]
Alaskan Brenton Linegar found an unwelcome message (pictured above) on his work truck about three weeks ago. The message was delivered in the form of business cards from two State of Alaska employees. Later the same day, when he learned of a malicious social media post on a State of Alaska website, Linegar went public […]
By Dr. LateBloomer I recently received a letter from the American Academy of Pediatrics, requesting my participation in one of their surveys about three issues – Suicide Prevention, Maintenance of certification, and the topic I particularly want to discuss—“Firearm Injury Prevention”. The letter and survey were accompanied by a 2-dollar bill as a “token of appreciation”. […]
[ED: This is the second part of a two-part article. See part one here.] By Bill Frady After my unfortunate role as the teenage trigger man in a negligent discharge that almost claimed the life of my friend, I was forced to deal with what happened alone. Not because my parents didn’t care, but simply because I […]
By Bill Frady In 1976, my family had moved across the state. I’d left all of my friends behind. In December of that year I had the chance to go back for the Christmas holidays and spend a week at my best buddy’s house. We’ll call him T. We’d planned and plotted what we’d do […]
By Mike McDaniel Many readers are, I’m sure, familiar with the Tuelller Drill. In 1983, police officer Dennis Tueller conducted research that revealed that an assailant armed with a knife can close 21 feet and inflict deadly wounds on a police officer before he can draw, fire and hope to stop the attacker. Obviously, a sword-armed attacker […]
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 […]
Buying online has some advantages to it. Your local gun store can’t stock everything, so if you’re looking for something unusual or that’s made in smaller quantities, that can be the best way to get exactly what you want. But if you’re going to buy a gun online, there are some things you can do […]
That madness that afflicts some people this time of year seems to have even affected the good people of central Iowa. The Brownells folks don’t just fix firearms and ship out sears, magazines bronze brushes and ammo. It looks like they have interests outside of work, too. #SteveO is pretty upset and has had enough!

We’re hearing that in the wake of the horrific mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, firearms fans there can no longer get to ar15.com. It would appear that the government is denying access to the site. Because the best way to gun owners there to buy into a semi-auto rifle ban is by limiting their access […]
It’s been said, “Law-abiding gun owners have over 300 million guns…and 12 trillion rounds of ammo. If we were a problem, you’d know it!” But what if that “300 million” estimate is wrong? According to these calculations, it is. We believe that the correct number is much higher — somewhere between 412 and 660 million. You may wonder how […]
Guns Save Life hosts six (soon to be seven) meetings across Illinois each and every month. The Illinois grassroots gun rights organization works hard to educate the public and politicians alike, while keeping gun owners up to date, too.
