The Truth About Guns

One of big gun control pushes by the BidenHarris administration is the effort to get more states to enact their own “red flag” laws.

By Larry Keane U.S. Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) won his nail-biter senate contest by campaigning in part on a message of gun control and “defund the police.” He called law enforcement “gangsters, thugs, bullies and a threat to children.” He demeaned law-abiding gun owners from his own pulpit.

From GunMag Warehouse Carrying a gun is (or should be) a gestalt of conditions, not just a mastery of marksmanship. It’s as much about being a good human being, controlling emotions, and practicing compassion as it is honing weapon manipulation skills and practicing situational awareness. A responsible armed citizen doesn’t need to be a Tier One […]

By Chris Rabby What does “legal” and medical marijuana law do to your gun rights, you and many gun owners ask? The short answer is that the feds won’t allow a dealer to sell a pot-card holder a gun, and they shouldn’t possess one.

The GLOCK Model 17L and Model 24 are two of my favorites from that plucky little Austrian company you may be familiar with. Yet they happen to be among their lowest sellers. I think GLOCK has sold more .45 GAPs over the past decade than these two models. The G17L and the G24 never got […]
