Minnesota - where anti-gun cities keep challenging preemption without consequence

6:00am Friday, November 28, 2025
Preemption laws offer legal protection for gun owners, but only when they are enforced. The work to advance any pro-gun legislation is arduous, more so in Minnesota than most states. But passing a law is only half the battle. This is also especially true in Minnesota, where local officials are concocting yet another illegal scheme to defy the state’s firearm preemption statute.

President Donald Trump has officially named veteran ATF official Robert Cekada as his nominee to serve as director of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The move marks another major shift inside the agency after Trump’s return to the White House and the rapid unwinding of several Biden-era gun policies. Unlike some of Trump’s recent department picks, Cekada is not an...

With Glock move seen as victory, anti-gun crowd now coming for Ruger

6:00am Tuesday, November 18, 2025
The inch was seemingly given, so it is not surprising to see pursuit of the mile. Gun ban advocates are emboldened by their perceived victories in firearm production changes, and Ruger is the latest target on a list that won’t end until the firearm prohibition lobby decides what guns are allowed to be sold or courts step in to enforce the law.

Everytown for Gun Safety’s new firearm training classes are about as honest and realistic as the journalism produced by its paid staffers at the Trace. In fact, the amount of anti-gun propaganda produced by Everytown’s Train Smart instructors may actually exceed the anti-gun propaganda shoveled out by the kids at the Trace. Suffice it to say, it’s a close race.

6:00am Monday, November 10, 2025
Late last month, the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) published an article titled, “Six Words Every Killer Should Know: ‘I Feared for My Life, Officer.” Using a mis-mash of half-baked statistics, legal misinformation, and cherry-picked anecdotes, it tried to make a case that there is just too much darned self-defense going on in America.

The anti-gun media have constantly tried to stamp out those who support the Second Amendment. Their only problem has been finding the right sources. However, once Zohran Mamdani is sworn in as New York City mayor, the media’s wait is over. Mamdani will become a loud national anti-gun voice.
