Florida’s newly-elected Democrat Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Nikki Fried, oversees the issuance of concealed carry permits in the state. During her campaign, she vowed to use her office to crack down on guns in every way possible. I figured that meant that she’d accomplish that through creative interpretation and application of the laws concerning […]
Pity poor New Mexico Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham. Some county sheriffs in her state have announced their intention to ignore Democrat-sponsored bans on private gun transfers should they become law. Instead of meeting with them to discuss their concerns, the Governor took to Twitter to demean them with childish personal attacks. I’m not daunted by […]
We’ve covered the unconstitutionality of HR8, the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and how it’s another whack of the hammer and chisels away the foundation that is our freedom along with how some of DC’s scum and villains cheered its passage in the House. During the midterm election cycle, the Giffords’ gun control group waged a hardcore campaign […]
Back on January 22, the Baltimore School Board voted unanimously to forbid Baltimore School Police officers from carrying weapons. Of course, what could possibly go wrong with that kind of misguided thinking, right? After all, the Baltimore Schools CEO Sonja Santelises proudly proclaims that “confrontation and weapons have no place” in her schools. Somehow, though, […]
This week marked the seventh anniversary of the death of Trayvon Martin. Even after George Zimmerman’s acquittal, plenty of groups and people use falsehoods, propaganda and faulty narratives about what happened that night to advance their own causes. This includes people who should know better, including presidential hopeful Kamala Harris. On that fateful night seven […]
If you had any doubt before, the White House made it clear today that President Trump will not sign any of the gun control measures promoted by Democrats in Congress. The White House says the two main bills under consideration remain “incompatible with the Second Amendment’s guarantee of an individual right to keep arms.” HR […]

I was tipped off yesterday morning about something of note to gun owners. I was told that Oregon-based Benchmade Knives was destroying firearms for the Oregon City, Oregon Police Department. A post appeared on the OCPD Facebook page (since taken down) with a few images and a statement of thanks to Benchmade: The images […]
The Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act allows current duty and retired LEOs to carry concealed firearms in any jurisdiction in the US. Last week, Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon introduced a LEOSA reform bill that would extend the number of locations of the exemption. Per the FOP’s press release: This bill would allow retired and active law […]
The passage of I-1639 in Washington was a gun rights earthquake. The controversial ballot initiative which was approved by voters in November was pushed over the line by millions of dollars of billionaires’ cash. The new law increased the minimum age to buy a semi-automatic rifle to 21, imposed a 10-day waiting period on […]
Most of the news concerning MAGA hats in recent days has been concerning bogus accounts of Trump supporters allegedly assaulting pedestrians in Chicago. And as we noted, some consider the red hats to be the modern equivalent of a Klan hood. Yesterday, however, things were ratcheted up to a new level in a Bowling Green, […]
The first rule of politics: if there’s a problem, blame someone else. It’s always preferable to deflect responsibility onto your political opponent(s) but anyone will do in a pinch. Chicago has become known by some as Chiraq for its seemingly intractable crime rate and the number of daily incidents involving gunfire. That crime problem and the […]
