The National Rifle Association, which has incurred “tens of millions of dollars in damages” from financial sanctions imposed by the state of New York, may potentially face an avalanche of additional penalties in anti-gun states throughout the union if New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has his way. “If I could have put the NRA out […]
While TTAG’s Luis Valdez spent Saturday at the Big Gun Rights Rally in Florida, I spent the weekend in Illinois teaching kids how to shoot pistols. We made memories for the kids on that pistol line. Not only that, but we made sure these young men and women stayed safe while having fun and learning […]
Today, the chickens came home to roost for the NY Daily News. Fully half their staff will get the axe as a result of lost subscribers and advertisers. Furthermore, the owners of NY’s rabidly partisan newspaper also sacked editor-in-chief Jim Rich. For years, The Daily News has worn its leftist politics on the front page […]
On Monday, Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner surprised a lot of folks by signing two gun control bills. First, he signed a bill to increase the waiting period on all gun purchases to three days. Second, he signed the “Snitch Bill” or Lethal Violence Order of Protection bill. In the end, gun owners now face two […]

I’ll be the first to admit that after reading Marion Hammer’s memo regarding YETI Coolers last weekend, I was concerned with how this information was being shared with NRA members. The email, also published on the NRA-ILA website, stated (in part): “For years YETI Coolers have been a hot item for sportsmen at the Friends of […]
Yesterday I slid my renewed NRA membership card into my wallet. As the red-white-and-blue rectangle of plastic snugged up against my NSSF press card and ragged old Hunter’s Education card, it hit me: 15+ years of membership, and only now am I forced to defend my decision to support the NRA. Over 15 years and […]
Yesterday, the annual Illinois Gun Owners Lobby Day event took place in Springfield. Over 1500 good guys and gals turned out, rallied and then marched to the capitol building. Once there, they lobbied to successfully kill any chance of an over-ride of Governor Bruce Rauner’s veto of the Gun Retailer Licensing bill. The event kicked […]
This morning, in Lake County, Illinois circuit court, Guns Save Life filed a legal challenge against the newly-amended Deerfield, Illinois gun ban. With the help of the National Rifle Association’s Institute for Legislative Action, GSL seeks to have the local ordinance overturned. As Guns Save Life’s Executive Director, I can say the NRA has proved […]
The forces of civilian disarmament continue to mau-mau corporate America over their ties to the firearms business. The latest to step up is American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten (no relation to Dean, that we know of). The AFT is threatening to discontinue a mortgage program they’ve been offering their members through Wells if […]
Little David Hogg and his merry band of teenage civilian disarmament advocates still have a lot of work to do. According to a Reuters/Ipsos poll, the National Rifle Association is still held in high regard by a solid majority of Americans. You might think that after the media-enabled pounding the NRA’s taken since the Parkland […]

They do this through participation at some level in grassroots activism to protect and defend our Second Amendment rights. While Michael Bloomberg and his fellow anti-gun billionaire buddies have big bucks, we have plenty of people on the ground working on the […]
