Just in time for the NRA convention — or frankly any time of the year — a Guns Save Life member submitted this list of suggestions to me for reporters who want to be real reporters. As opposed to shills who simply regurgitate the talking points from a press release from an anti-gun group. I. […]
President Trump took the stage at the NRA-ILA Leadership Forum today to thunderous applause. He used much of his speech to the thousands gathered in the Lucas Oil Stadium to tout the latest economic results — the economy grew at a rate of 3.2% in the first quarter — and claim that his administration is […]
If you tell enough lies often enough about guns and your goals or civilian disarmament, some people begin to believe them. Apparently. Gov. Phil Murphy insisted the state is not against guns. But he said the only choice for New Jersey and other states is to work on preventing gun violence on their own since Congress […]
The Village of Deerfield tried to do an end run around Illinois’ preemption rules to pass a so-called “assault weapons” and “high capacity magazine” ban. Guns Save Life promptly filed suit and won a preliminary injunction against enforcement of the law. About a month ago, GSL won a permanent injunction blocking enforcement. Regrettably, the Village of […]
When Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto signed three new gun control provisions into law in the Steel City recently, he did so in blatant disregard for the state’s preemption law. In fact, while the laws were under consideration by the Pittsburgh city council, DA Stephen Zappala warned all involved that what they were doing was clearly […]
Peru’s former president Alan Garcia and some of his ministers had been the subject of extensive corruption allegations and an investigation related to bribes they’d allegedly accepted from a Brazilian contractor. This morning, when police arrived at his home to take him into custody, Garcia shot himself in the head. He was rushed to a hospital […]
By Larry Keane Nothing is more influential and more important for lawmakers than to hear directly from their constituents. That’s why I couldn’t have been more proud of the 70 attendees from across the firearms and ammunition industries for joining together this week to make NSSF’s annual Fly-In a success. Representatives from over 40 firearms […]
One million magazines. That’s how many standard capacity feeding devices Golden State residents bought during the one week when sales become legal in California recently. Reportedly a pallet of Magpul P-Mags for America’s favorite rifle, the AR-15, tallies up to 3,000 magazines. So a million magazines represents… a lot of pallets. In simpler terms, many […]
By NRA-ILA On Wednesday, the House Financial Services Committee held a hearing it called, “Holding Megabanks Accountable: A Review of Global Systemically Important Banks 10 years after the Financial Crisis.” If you are wondering what that could possibly have to do with the Second Amendment, let us remind you that Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is the […]
Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris — once pronounced America’s “best-looking attorney general” by the Commander in Chief when she held that office in California — has never met a gun control proposal she doesn’t support. She thinks legislators are ignorant for supporting gun rights. Sen. Kamala D. Harris, the California Democrat and presidential aspirant, lamented […]
Kathleen Willis, the rabidly anti-gun Illinois Democrat, has introduced Amendment 1 to House Bill 96. Among its many onerous provisions the provision of new Surgeon General-style warnings to gun owners when they receive their Firearms Owners ID Card. “Warning: The presence of a firearm in the home has been associated with an increased risk of […]
NEWTOWN, Conn. — The National Shooting Sports Foundation® (NSSF®), the trade association for the firearms, ammunition, hunting and shooting sports industries, awarded U.S. House of Representatives Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) the 2018 Legislator of the Year at the organization’s annual dinner in Washington D.C., coinciding with the firearms industry’s annual Congressional Fly-In. “We honor Congressman […]
