The petition drive and effort is being pushed by a Miami-based organization known as Ban Assault Weapons NOW (BAWN) and they have some big names in their corner. A former Republican member of the Florida […]
[Ed: Nick originally wrote this less than a week after the Sandy Hook shooting, but it’s still just as relevant today.] In the wake of recent events, it’s obvious and unfortunate that the vast majority of pundits have no idea what they’re talking about when it comes to guns. Especially with a firearm like the […]
From Gallup: “Americans’ support for a ban on semi-automatic guns in the U.S. has dropped eight percentage points from a year ago, when opinions were more evenly divided after the mass shooting in Las Vegas.

As you’d expect, the senior Senator from California asked Judge Kavanaugh about his […]
Tedra Cobb is running for a seat in the US Congress to represent New York’s 21st congressional district, the northeast quadrant of the state.

As many of you know, in addition to his role here at TTAG, John Boch is also the executive director of Guns Save Life, the central Illinois gun rights advocacy group. Among other duties, John spends a lot of his time in Springfield lobbying for gun owners’ right to keep and bear arms. No small […]
Former Obama White House chief of staff and current Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s famous credo government action when the worst happens: never let a crisis go to waste. Take advantage of a bad tragedy to get something passed in the heat of the moment that wouldn’t stand a chance when Congress and the voters have […]
“I think human history shows that evil people use whatever resources are available to do awful things. There’s enough information available in a Google search to plan ways to kill hundreds or thousands of people at a time, but we can’t ban knowledge.” – The Firearms Policy Coalition’s Brandon Combs in ‘You can do this with […]
