BFA Responds to Columbus Dispatch Editors' Attack on Gun Rights Lobbying

by Dean Rieck

6:00am Thursday, May 25, 2023

The Columbus Dispatch has never been a friend of law-abiding gun owners in Ohio. For as long as I can remember, they've used their bully pulpit in support of gun control. But that's not surprising. Many, if not most, metropolitan newspapers are staffed by people who support all manner of civil rights, except for the one enumerated as "Amendment II" of the U.S. Constitution. Urban liberals really...

NSSF challenges California's law promoting frivolous firearms industry lawsuits

6:00am Wednesday, May 24, 2023

NSSF, The Firearm Industry Trade Association, filed a challenge to California’s unconstitutional firearms industry liability law, AB 1594 , that was passed last year and signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The law encourages civil suits against the firearm industry for the damages caused by the criminal actions of remote third parties. This law is an affront to the U.S. Constitution and abuses...

No, Obama and other gun grabbers don’t aim to treat firearms like cars

6:00am Tuesday, May 23, 2023

Always one for lame platitudes, Barack Obama recently suggested that gun control has become too politicized and that firearms should be regulated like motor vehicles. Speaking with CBS Mornings, the former president offered something of a kinder, gentler version of his 2008 bitter clingers statement, opining, I think somehow, and there are a lot of historical reasons for this, gun ownership in...

Here we go again. On the heels of Judge David M. Gormley's ruling to prohibit the city of Columbus from enforcing its unlawful firearm ordinances, Columbus has filed another complaint against the state of Ohio.

Homicide: A 'red state' or 'blue city' problem?

6:00am Friday, May 19, 2023

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg’s gun control group, Everytown for Gun Safety, ranks the 50 states on how well they have comported their laws to the organization’s civilian disarmament agenda. In doing so, the group describes New Hampshire, with its few gun control laws, as a “national failure.” That descriptor might come as a surprise to residents of the bucolic northern New England state...

Biden caught using fake data to gaslight Americans on 'mass' shootings

by Lee Williams

6:00am Thursday, May 18, 2023

President Joe Biden has always struggled with the truth. Whenever he wanders off script and speaks extemporaneously, he invents personal anecdotes — boldfaced lies, actually — in which he assigns himself the starring role. Whether he’s getting arrested in South Africa for trying to bust into Nelson Mandela’s prison cell, or bravely confronting AR-toting hunters in a Delaware swamp or going toe-to...

Just one month after Bruen was decided, a Maryland court found it was “self-evident” that Maryland’s carry permitting regime was also unconstitutional. “In...
