This year’s SHOT Show, as always, featured virtually everything the most ardent gun guy or gal could want where things that go bang are concerned. And maybe it’s just us, but it certainly seemed that suppressors were more prominently featured at this year’s show. Just check out Tyler’s silencer-centric coverage and see for yourself. One […]
“The gun industry is struggling with good times,” bloomberg.com reports with Zimmerman-esque sarcasm. “Firearm sales are soaring. Gun company stocks are way up, despite a market-wide January slump. But as gun makers, wholesalers, and retailers gather in Las Vegas for their annual industry convention, leading executives are striving to accentuate the negative.” Question: why wouldn’t they? The Democratic party’s […]
(Republished with permission from the California Rifle and Pistol Association) There are less handguns available for sale in California in 2016 because of another ill-conceived gun law. Since January 1, 2001, California’s so called “Unsafe Handgun Act”(“UHA”) law has mandated that all handguns sold at retail in the state must be listed on the California […]
As part of President Obama’s push for tighter restrictions on gun owners and dealers, the ATF has issued their final ruling on requiring gun dealers to report guns that have been lost or stolen in transit. Previously FFLs were able to ship firearms, mark them as being out of their inventory, and forget about it […]
You may have heard that the President had a few things to say about guns last week. After much anticipation, the gun-controller-in-chief announced a series of new executive branch measures designed to accomplish on his own what he knows he can’t via the traditional, separation-of-powers-as-the-Founders-intended legislative method.

TTAG reader Ripcord writes: Riverdale, Illinois is a small village on Chicago’s south side in Cook County. With just over 15,000 people and 3.75 square miles of land, its not very big. It’s also 93% black according to the last census. If the name Riverdale tugs at your memory it might be because it’s home to […]
The two terrorists who killed 14 people and wounded 17 others (some grievously) in San Bernadino were not on the TSA’s “No Fly List.” In fact, the killers weren’t on the feds’ radar at all. Nor were they white, Republican, NRA members or members of a militia. They didn’t convert their AR’s to full auto. […]
As the NSSF had warned, Senator Dianne Feinstein introduced two pieces of legislation yesterday (one amendment to an existing bill and another as a stand-alone bill) that would have stripped Americans of their Constitutional right to own firearms if they appear on a secret government list — a list that even the New York Times and the […]
The NSSF is raising the alarm about an imminent action on the part of a few anti-gun Senators. Apparently the plan is to attach the previously defeated Manchin-Toomey “Universal Background Check” bill as an amendment to an existing proposed piece of legislation and hope it slides by without anyone noticing. But wait — there’s more! […]
