The Truth About Guns

by Michael Keleher

Okay, so all you sharp eyed gun enthusiasts have probably seen this gun propped up against the fence in Florida earlier this month. Well photos emerged via the New York Post and like I said in an earlier article it is an SKS rifle, not an AK-47 like all the world news organizations initially ran.

In fact, upon a closer look, this is a SKS OMG Variant Poors Model.

After a six-year hiatus, Slide Fire Solutions, the company that pioneered bump stock technology, has announced it is back in business following a Supreme Court ruling that overturned the federal ban on bump stocks just a couple of months ago. The Texas-based, veteran-owned company was forced to shut down in 2018 when the government imposed a ban on the sale and ownership of bump stocks, but the recent decision by the nation’s highest court has cleared the way for its return.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the Scranton Army Ammunition Plant in Pennsylvania earlier this week has drawn criticism for what some are calling an overt political move favoring Democrats. According to ABC News, Zelensky toured the facility under tight security to thank workers for producing 155mm artillery shells, which have been crucial in Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression. Zelensky expressed his gratitude, stating that “the democratic world can prevail” thanks to such efforts. The visit, however, has sparked controversy for its timing and political undertones.

If you want to stay above ground in New York City, then you better stay above ground, literally. Murders in the city’s subway system are surging this year, up 60% despite an overall reported drop in the crime rate. 

The troubling trend of killings this year has the city on a collision course with the 25-year high of 10 underground murders set back in 2022. How close are they to that number? As of September 8th this year, eight people have been butchered on subway cars or in stations, up from 5 during the same period last year. 

“It’s not a safe environment to be waiting for the train… It just feels evil,” Jakeba Dockery told the New York Post.

Right off the bat, California is a horrible place to own a business, and I’m talking about any business, not just a gun store. If you don’t believe me, you may be surprised by the number of companies and some of the names on the list fleeing the failing state since 2020. Sure, you know Elon Musk took off faster than Gavin Newsom violating his own COVID-19 lockdown, but did you know about Chevron, Neutrogena, Blaze Pizza, McAfee, Hyperion, Edelbrock Group, Charles Schwab, Oracle, Pabst Brewing and many more?

California, already home to some of the strictest gun control laws in the country, has enacted even more restrictions under Governor Gavin Newsom. On Tuesday, Newsom signed several new gun laws, including SB 899 and the 2024 Animal Protection and Gun Violence Prevention Act, continuing his administration’s push for tighter regulations. This comes despite the fact that California had the second-highest number of gun deaths in the nation in 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)—whose research is often cited by gun control advocates to justify further restrictions.

Attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) and Maryland resident Donald S. Willey have filed an appellants’ brief with the Maryland Supreme Court, challenging the state’s “red flag” law. The case, Willey v. Brown, originated in U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in August 2023.

Willey, a 64-year-old Marine Corps veteran, has been in conflict with officials in Dorchester County over nuisance and zoning violations. He became the subject of an Extreme Risk Protective Order (ERPO) after allegedly making threats, which Willey denies.

It comes as no surprise to anyone that the NRA is under constant fire from the left, as the organization has been at the forefront of protecting gun rights and education since its inception in 1871. In recent years, however, we have seen increased political pressure and a consistently weaponized judicial system used to target the NRA with New York Attorney General Leticia James launching an investigation seeking to put the organization out of business entirely.

In the aftermath of a devastating mass shooting in Birmingham that left four dead and 17 injured, Mayor Randall Woodfin has shifted the conversation from gang violence and criminal disregard for human life to the growing issue of illegal firearm modifications and what he sees as inadequate gun laws in his state.

Vice President Kamala Harris showed her true colors back in 2007 when, as the San Francisco district attorney, she told Californians that law enforcement officers could walk into private citizens’ homes and inspect how they were storing their firearms.

“We’re going to require responsible behaviors among everybody in the community, and just because you legally possess a gun in the sanctity of your locked home doesn’t mean that we’re not going to walk into that home and check to see if you’re being responsible and safe in the way you conduct your affairs,” Harris said at the time.

Authorities finally released more details about attempted Donald Trump assassin Ryan Wesley Routh’s firearm (why do all assassins or wannabe assassins go by three names?) and all that can be said is it is clear the man knew about as much on guns as a CNN reporter. For a crazy man, it was a fitting and crazy setup he toted and that doomed his faulty plan from the start. Even if he had gotten off a shot, it is unlikely he would’ve struck anything he was intentionally shooting at.

New Hampshire has been ranked the most “gun-owner friendly” state in the union and has even recently taken on a neighboring state over their restrictive gun laws. So, in a state whose motto is “Live Free or Die,” and as the candidate for governor from the Republican Party—the party that runs on a platform of freedom and is generally the most supportive of the Second Amendment—Kelly Ayotte may have surprised some when she said there is one area of gun law she would consider changing.

For those who continue to argue that the recent attempt on former President Donald Trump’s life while golfing in Florida wasn’t a real “assassination attempt,” a recently released court document proves that assertion to be untrue.

The court document included details of a handwritten letter by suspect Ryan Routh that not only said specifically that it was an “assassination attempt,” but also offered a large amount of money to anyone who would finish the job at which he failed.

In a bizarre story, Michigan prosecutors have ruled that the man who shot and killed two men—one accidentally—at a Detroit Lions tailgate party Sept. 15 was acting in self-defense, so no charges will be filed.

According to police, the unidentified 40-year-old man was tailgating after the game when a “physical altercation” broke out between several men. During the arguments, one of the deceased—25-year-old Jalen Welch—displayed a pistol in a “threatening manner” while approaching the first man.

A Colorado teen scouting locations for a homecoming photoshoot was shot in the face on September 10th by a local town council member. 

The 17-year-old told authorities that he and a friend parked on a public road and hopped a gate at a Conifer residence, 30 miles southwest of Denver, hoping to ask the owner’s permission to take homecoming photos on the property. The teens walked up the driveway and around the property but could not locate the homeowner before returning to their vehicle.

As most TTAG readers know, the “media” organization The Trace is actually the propaganda arm of former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun empire. It masquerades as a newsroom solely to provide cover for members of the corporate media who republish their stories as if they’re actual news.

So, it should come as no surprise that organization is continuing its more than two-year effort to discredit the critical U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case New York Rifle & Pistol Association v.
