Despite assurances that he had no intentions to pardon his son from the president as well as aides as recently as a week ago, President Biden pardoned his son Hunter Biden on Sunday. The blanket pardon wipes out his criminal convictions on tax and gun charges and protects him from additional prosecution for any crimes “he has committed or may have committed or taken part in” between 2014 to the present. That is the year Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, while his father was the sitting vice president of the United States.

With the 3rd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals set to hear the case concerning New Jersey’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” the Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) recently filed its opening brief explaining why the ban is unconstitutional.

The appeal comes in the case Cheeseman v. Platkin. In late July, the District Court for the District of New Jersey ruled that the ban on AR-15-style rifles in the home was unconstitutional but left the rest of the restrictions in place.

Lawmakers in Texas have begun pre-filing bills for next year’s legislative session, and both pro-gun and anti-gun measures indicate that the session is likely to be an active one where guns and the Second Amendment are concerned.

Within the first three days of the pre-filing period, more than 75 gun-related measures were introduced for the 2025 Regular Session of the Texas Legislature. The majority of the legislation is anti-gun in nature and covers many different aspects of the gun-ban agenda.

If you do any AR building, you know how it is when you have spare parts. Anything can be the impetus to do a new build. I mean, if I have a spare grip, I may as well build another rifle right? Well, this time I actually had a spare lower, so I definitely had to do something with that. Since I ended up with a Bad Attitude Department lower and a complete KAK Industry WW III upper, I’m calling this one the BAD KAK WW III build.

A federal judge recently denied a request by an illegal alien, who had purchased 170 guns and undergone multiple background checks, to drop illegal gun possession charges because he claimed they violated his Second Amendment right to bear arms.

According to a Fox News report, Carlos Serrano-Restrepo’s lawyer submitted a motion to dismiss the charge arguing that he has the right to bear arms under the Second Amendment. The judge denied the motion to dismiss the charge against the Ohio man, who had been in the U.S.

If you think the old Winchester model 1894 your great-grandfather left you in his will is an old gun, it might be time to rethink that assessment.

Researchers in Arizona believe they have found the oldest gun ever discovered in the continental United States—a nearly 500-year-old cannon recently unearthed in the southern part of the state. According to a study published in the International Journal of Historical Archaeology, the bronze cannon, likely associated with the first European expedition through the Southwest, was discovered in 2020 on the floor of a stone and adobe building near the Santa Cruz River.

Following President Donald Trump’s resounding victory, former Speaker of the House (and possible evil incarnate) Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) whined about gun rights voters to the New York Times.

In an interview with Times reporter Lulu Garcia-Navarro, Pelosi stated that cultural issues played an important role in the 2024 election. Garcia-Navarro asked the former House Speaker, “why did voters who earned less than $100,000 go for Trump in such large numbers?” Pelosi responded in part, “Well, there are cultural issues involved in elections as well… Guns, that’s an issue.”

Pelosi’s forthright acknowledgement of the gun vote is welcome public recognition of the powerful role gun owners play in American politics.

As Thanksgiving marks a season of gratitude, we want to take a moment to reflect on all the blessings we have in this country, particularly the freedoms that make our way of life so special. At the heart of these freedoms is our right to bear arms, a fundamental part of our history and identity. This Thanksgiving let’s remember how firearms played a vital role not only in ensuring our survival but also in bringing people together during the very first Thanksgiving.

If you’re like me, you probably don’t have that many gun-ban advocates in your family. And the ones that lean in that direction likely aren’t quick to bring it up at rare family social occasions.

In fact, with three generations of concealed carry practitioners gathered around the family table for Thanksgiving dinner, my family’s celebration of thanks is likely the most dangerous place a deranged individual could choose to attack. ’Nuff said.

Polite families typically don’t talk politics during holiday meals, especially a holiday set aside to give thanks for our many blessings.

Wheelguns continue to remain popular for concealed carry, something that the folks at Taurus are well aware of. With the increased number of people exercising their rights to concealed carry and constitutional carry the time was right for the reintroduction of the Taurus 650. The 650 is a shrouded-hammer, five-shot revolver chambered in .357 Magnum.

The Taurus 650

It’s been nearly 10 years since we last saw the 650, but the current market makes it a great time to bring it back.

Has the process for buying National Firearms Act (NFA) items overwhelmed, dissuaded or frustrated you? You’re far from the only one. From feeling burdened by paperwork, lack of dealer options in rural areas, and (until recently) the wait times, the process seems designed to be the punishment. In a recent conversation with a contact at Griffin Armament, I found out about how they’re working with Capitol Armory to bring Silencers To Your Door.

Recent research has shown that most Americans own firearms for self-defense reasons. A recent armed citizen episode in California is living proof of how owning a gun and knowing how to use it when the chips are down saved the life of one Golden State grandfather—and his grandchildren.

According to a report at kcra.com, the 70-year-old man and two grandchildren, ages 14 and 4, were at his business in Rancho Cordova, California, when an early-morning break-in on November 24 changed his life forever.

I know many of you read the headline and immediately wondered if a Terminator had been set loose in Portland, and while I’d shrug my shoulders with indifference if it had because hey, it’s Portland, that’s not actually the case. I’m talking about a different company here, Skynet Security. As many of you already know, Portland, Oregon has turned into what I like to call a dumpster fire city in the wake of its woke takeover.

Through the U.S. Department of Justice, the Biden Administration has weaponized the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), turning it into an agency constantly battling against America’s lawful gun owners and closely regulated gun retailers. In fact, during the past four years, Biden’s ATF has published several final rules, making laws when its real purpose is enforcing them.  

That hasn’t set well with many Republicans in Congress. And now that the Republicans have retained the House majority, retaken the Senate and won the presidency with former President Donald Trump’s recent victory, one pro-gun lawmaker is ready to do something about the ongoing “problem” with the ATF.
