When I launched The Truth About Guns three years ago (to the day), I imagined the site as an electronic gun magazine: a tell-it-like-is blend of news, reviews, tips and rants. As the months rolled by and our traffic increased, I began to suspect that TTAG was becoming something more important than a simple gunzine. While no-holds-barred firearms reviews are our staple, firearms-related news and editorials started doing the heavy lifting. And then Newtown. Suddenly, TTAG became the canary in the Constitutional coal mine. We asked you, our readers, if that was OK. You said yes. And so here we are, posting hourly updates from the firearms freedom front, helping you defend and extend your Constitutionally protected right to keep and bear arms. It has been—and continues to be—our honor and privilege to do so. Thank you for reading.
Thanks for what you guys do. Keep up the fight.
Happy B-day RF!!
For me, it’s a win-win deal. I came here for the gun rights stuff, but you’re turning me into a gear geek.
I’m staying sharp buying more knives for my EDC collection :).
And Thank You for this site.
Keep up the good fight. Thanks for all you do. And Happy BDAY TTAG!
One of the best things about the site is how you ask for feedback from the readers and actually listen to it. Thanks!
Kudos to RF and the gang. This is a great place to hang out.
Works for me.
It’s been three years? Time sure flies. Thanks RF for the idea. And may it continue to flourish.
Knuckleheads like that fighting, shooting each other, etc is nothing but a little chlorine in the gene pool.
Hahahaha! This guy is great!
Congrats RF and to the whole TTAG team!
First found you thanks to an Insta-launch link for the ATF Death Watch series.
I promise that most people in Ohio are not as stupid as this buffoon sounds. At least I hope not.
She probably wanted to be with a more “complete” man. And he objected.
Thank you for taking a stand
Robert, your ‘Fast and Furious’ coverage was second to none. I hope y’all keep up the good work in the future for the other gov’t screw-ups, cover-ups, and abuses that are sure to come.

Tank top realized he had a match on his hands and didn’t like the prospect of a fair fight.
I don’t get why you are against straw purchases if you’re not for background checks for face to face transfers. Couldn’t the straw purchase participants just have the “seller” take out an ad in backpage or guntrader and then do the deal and maintain plausible deniability. a mandatory background check is pretty much the only thing that makes straw purchases impossible to do legally.
Tomorrow, you and I get our first look at the gun control monster President Barack Obama and his anti-gun pals have been building behind closed doors . . .
Make no mistake — this will be the biggest fight over our gun rights in a generation, and you will have a critical role to play.
But from the news already trickling out, I can tell you that what I’m hearing isn’t good.
The Obama administration is preparing to launch all-out WAR on our gun rights, including:
*** The Feinstein Gun Ban;
*** A full-scale national gun registration scheme hidden under the guise of “background checks;”
*** A total ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
All in all, there are 19 anti-gun measures President Obama will pursue.
You and I have to FIGHT BACK with everything we have.
The future of our gun rights will depend on it.
For Freedom,
Dudley Brown
Executive Vice President
P.S. The Obama administration is preparing to launch all-out WAR on our gun rights. You and I will get our first look at their gun control monster tomorrow.
Make no mistake — this will be the biggest fight over our gun rights in a generation.
In fact, U.S. Senator and NAGR member Rand Paul has thrown down the gauntlet.
The guy with the gun just started lighting up the other guys car… homeboy may have held his own in the fight but hes got some holes to explain to mom.
I’m like juliesa… I found TTAG searching the internet for intelligent credible info regarding the post 2012 election gun/ammo sales surges but am digging the gun reviews. I also read the comments of each article because some really great minds reply and they help this new shooter out. Thanks TTAG for consistently being a beacon in the fog of all things gun.
if these proposed laws and bills are representative of the PEOPLE in these areas, then I am in support . A representative government should only be trying to give their constituents what they ask for. If these bills are not in fact representative of what the PEOPLE want, they should not be allowed. If the PEOPLE are not being asked, then the elected officials trying to pass the legislation should be impeached, recalled, and imprisoned.

So the big talking puss that obviously watches too much UFC couldn’t keep himself off the ground so he pulls a gun. Sounds about right.
Lets wait til after he votes FOR the AWB before we start talking smack about him.
Remember, the effing libtards like Barry (some of you dumb morons on this forum ACTUALLY voted for him) are for the ban. Yeah, sure, John and Mitt are just the same as ‘kid Kenyan’ the ‘monkeyer to the Constitution’ and would be pushing for a gun ban like ‘the One’.
Elections matter and have consequences.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
Software trumps hardware – Zaitsev with a slingshot was probably more lethal than your average person with the latest tacticool AR.
Yup; same crap letter I got from him. Like the quote from a George Strait song “I’ve come to expect it from you.”
Traitorous, commie, libtard, NY union. Worthless and weak.
My “line in the sand” in regards to gun control is this: N O M O R E! ! ! We have given FAR too much ground already. There are already over 20,000 gun laws on the books in this country. When are you people who support “reasonable measures,” (read restrictions on law abiding citizens), going to get it through your thick skulls that passing yet more onerous and restrictive laws will do N O T H I N G to stop gun crime? Why can’t we make you understand the simple fact that CRIMINALS AND THE INSANE DON’T GIVE A RED PISS ABOUT THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!! They will do and say anything to aquire whatever they need to carry out whatever nefarious or heinous deed they have in mind at the time, your laws be damned! The only people you will affect by passing still more draconian legislation will be, once again, the law abiding citizen. Do you get it now? CRIMINALS DON’T OBEY LAWS! INSANE PEOPLE DON’T OBEY LAWS! So can you please tell me how you think that passing even more rediculous, restrictive, right destroying legislation is going to do anything more than diminish, still further, the ever more tenuous rights of the law abiding citizen?
I tell you, it’s not Obama and his ilk that I fear. They’re out in the open and I know where they stand. I can fight that. It’s the turn coat who “firmly believes in the 2nd Amendment” yet stands ready and willing to stab his fellow gun owners in the back and sell out that very same Amendment he claims to so “firmly” believe in that I chiefly fear. What’s the old saying? ” With friends like that, we don’t need enemies.
There are those who discuss the future possibility of a gun design that can be created from parts printed on a 3D printer. This would complicate any government attempt to keep track of who has what, and remove much of the usefulness of government inspections, notwithstanding violations of the second or fourth amendment.
If you don’t engage the antis online, people will think they lies the grabbers speak are true.
Ok they caved under the pressure of the left. Then they cave to the presure of the consumer. So they appear to lack integrity to tke a specific stand. I don’t care to support hypocrisy. So no I will not do any business with this group.
