In a unanimous ruling that included a strong concurring opinion, a three-judge panel in the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives illegally promulgated its controversial “Final Rule” on firearm receivers and remanded the case back to the District Court for reconsideration.

Brady United brings on Hollywood to sell anti-gun agenda

by Larry Keane
6:00am Thursday, November 09, 2023
The glamour and influence of Hollywood just ain’t what it used to be. That explains why Brady United for Gun Control’s recent announcement that they’re bringing on Hollywood executives and producers to help sell gun control makes perfect sense. Americans don’t want to be lectured to by out-of-touch actors who make millions and live in safe, gated communities and are protected by armed bodyguards...

Hypocrisy! Columbus City Council takes police away from residents to protect themselves

by Dean Rieck
6:00am Monday, November 06, 2023
The words "cynical" and "selfish" come to mind. As does the word "hypocritical." In a move typical of big city politicians who view themselves as more important than the plebeians they claim to serve, Columbus City Council members have gifted themselves armed police officers for personal protection. These officers have not been added to the Columbus police force, but transferred from their job...

Myth that guns cause crime: Pandemic relief fraud tied to gangs, violent crime

6:00am Tuesday, October 24, 2023
When gun sales reached record-high levels during the pandemic, alarmist gun-grabbers pushed the narrative that this unprecedented proliferation in lawful gun ownership was somehow responsible for a subsequent spike in homicides and other crime. The hypothesis that increased gun sales caused a corresponding increase in violent crime was later debunked. A 2021 study by anti-gun researchers, no less...

By the numbers: Why President Biden is wrong on repeated calls for gun bans

by Larry Keane
6:00am Monday, October 23, 2023
President Joe Biden is, again, telling his donor class that he’s committed to violating his oath of office and will continue to seek to ban AR-15s — or modern sporting rifles (MSRs). It’s not the first time, but he continues to show his ignorance of firearms in general and contempt for the rights protected by the U.S. Constitution, which he swore to uphold and defend.

by Lee Williams
6:00am Friday, October 20, 2023
Last week, a Florida judge forced Lisa Marok to renounce her Second Amendment rights, give up her Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License (CWFL) and remove all firearms and every single round of ammunition from her home, even though she had not been accused of a single crime. If she failed to comply with the judge's unconstitutional order, her husband could have served 19 months in a state...

New Mexico Gov. Grisham touting her unconstitutional emergency gun control misfire

by Matt Manda
6:00am Thursday, October 19, 2023
New Mexico Democratic Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham held a recent press conference to praise herself for implementing dubious gun control measures. Most of the results she celebrated, however, come from law enforcement getting tough and holding criminals accountable for breaking laws, not from restricting the rights of law-abiding New Mexicans.

Marijuana and Guns: How will Ohio Issue 2 affect your gun rights?

by Dean Rieck

On November 7, 2023, Ohioans will be asked to vote on whether to legalize marijuana for recreational use. The measure will appear on the ballot as an initiated statute called Issue 2 .

New Mexico Gov. Grisham reveals empirical ambitions, contempt for Constitution

By Larry Keane
6:00am Friday, October 13, 2023
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham created a Constitutional crisis when she published an emergency public health order banning law-abiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment rights. Or — she didn’t. She may have revealed that she’s nothing more than an emperor with no clothing.

Headlines: Israel loosens gun laws amid Hamas attack

by Joe D. "Buck" Ruth
6:00am Wednesday, October 11, 2023
Israel citizens don't enjoy the Second Amendment guarantees we have in the United States, and gun laws there were stricter than anywhere here. But that's about to change as the Middle East country battles an attack by Hamas. According to an Oct. 9 story by The Federalist , Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israeli minister of national security, announced in Hebrew on Oct. 8 an emergency declaration to “allow as...

Where Stupid Meets Phobia: A Finger-Gun Update

6:00am Thursday, October 05, 2023
Finger guns, the lethal weapons of choice for absolutely no one, are in the news again. Every so often we write about over-the-top reactions to harmless things or actions with some nebulous but apparently nefarious gun-related nexus, like the by-now notorious case of the seven-year-old second-grader suspended for chewing a breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun. A school official admitted that...
