By Larry Keane U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders treats the U.S. Constitution like a lost set of keys. He’s suddenly found it and wants the world to know. The Vermont Independent who is campaigning as a “democratic socialist” took questions during a campaign stop in Iowa when he was asked if he supported so-called mandatory buybacks of […]
By Billy Edwards Eric Swalwell and Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke each proposed radical gun control policies such as gun buybacks on “assault weapons” and AR-15 confiscation as major selling points of their campaigns. Now both are failed candidates – forced to drop out of the race due to immense pressure, lackluster polling, and pathetic fundraising. […]
Now that Robert Francis O’Rourke is just a fading memory, the field of Democrat contenders hasn’t made much gun-related news in the last week or so. That changed today. Bernie Sanders is in Iowa this week and took a question from the crowd at a green jobs rally regarding Beto-esque mandatory gun “buybacks” for […]

[ED: We first published this almost a year ago.

A Democrat governor calls a special session to force the state’s Republican-controlled legislature to take up his slate of gun control bills. Where have we heard that before? It happened in Virginia. That’s where Ralph Northam, following the Virginia Beach shooting, drew up a long list of gun control measures he wanted to see enacted […]
Pity the foolish Democrat pols who got in the 2020 presidential race too early. Most of them worked so hard, too, at attempting to maintain some semblance of relevance in a world in which they had only fleeting bits thereof. To our amusement as gun owners, they staked out all manner of radical positions. Everything […]
Of all the news networks, MSNBC probably ranks further left than even Trump-deranged CNN. Yet a recent segment on MSNBC didn’t go as planned as gun owners they interviewed panned the Democrat candidates for their gun control proposals on live television. In fact, host Ali Velshi suffered the indignity of gun owners openly laughing at […]
Fresh off his success throwing cash at the Old Dominion and turning Virginia’s legislature blue in order to further the cause of civilian disarmament, anti-gun billionaire Michael Bloomberg is reportedly filing paperwork to get his name on the Alabama Democrat presidential primary ballot.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass) wants to leave our children unprotected in their schools. She opposes allowing school staff to tool up. And now, in a new editorial, she proposes eliminating armed school resource officers, leaving our nation’s children utterly undefended from madmen and losers. The Dems’ wild-eyed front-runner in the race for president does her […]
The quote of the day is presented by Guns.com. The leftward drift of Virginia has been years, maybe decades in the making. But the Voxen put a lot of the blame for the loss of the state’s House and Senate — races that were heavily influenced by gun control — on the NRA and and its […]
