The Truth About Guns

Democrats and President BidenHarris have been pushing hard for the expansion of gun control laws in America as part of their “cure” for what they claim is an epidemic of “gun violence” in this country. Among other restrictions, they want to outlaw private gun sales, extend the number of days the FBI has to complete […]

Another problem for any gun control measure is that it is simply unclear how many guns are out there. A mandatory buy-back, such as the ones that Australia instituted, has been suggested, but it likely wouldn’t successfully disarm the nation. Australian authorities had to deal with less than five million guns. In the first year of […]

That was the question asked back in 1989. The Era of the Wondernine was upon us. Higher capacity 9mm semi-autos that held 15 or  17 rounds was becoming the new standard. Technological wonders from Smith & Wesson, Ruger, GLOCK, SIG SAUER, HK, Beretta, and others were hitting store shelves and could been seen in police […]

From the Second Amendment Foundation . . . The proposal by four anti-gun Capitol Hill Democrats to pack the U.S. Supreme Court by adding four positions is “an outrage” and an attempt to prevent the high court from accepting cases and handing down rulings favorable to the right to keep and bear arms, the Second […]

[Hannah] Arendt offers two points that are salient to our thinking about guns: for one, they insert a hierarchy of some kind, but fundamental nonetheless, and thereby undermine equality. But furthermore, guns pose a monumental challenge to freedom, and particular, the liberty that is the hallmark of any democracy worthy of the name — that […]

The two main reasons I bought a Steyr AUG are that it’s not an AR-15, and, well, I like weird guns. Seriously, aren’t we all just a bit bored with the AR-15? I know, I know, the AR-15 platform is hands down the best auto-loading rifle ever designed. I get that, but I am still […]

It’s getting hard to keep track of the number of high profile killers that, it’s later revealed, law enforcement authorities were aware of before they committed their crimes. Indianapolis FedEx shooter Brandon Scott Hole was yet another of these. Hole murdered eight people last night and wounded at least another nine (reports are still sketchy […]

From the Firearms Policy Coalition . . .

I like having a light on my home defense gun. I also like having options. Olight’s original BALDR Mini weapon light and (green) laser gives you the option of using a light, a laser or both at the same time. I’ve had one on one of my home defense guns for over a year. Now […]

By Larry Keane Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sure loves some of that sin-tax money. That’s the kind of money when a Member of Congress wants to ban things but can’t. So they go to their second favorite activity. They tax it. Rep. Raskin likes his gun policies both ways. If he can’t restrict Americans’ ability […]

[Rep. Bonnie] Watson Coleman called silencers “tools of murder” in a Thursday statement. “They have no legal application, which is why law enforcement officials around the country have been calling for their elimination,” she said, adding that the HEAR Act “will save lives and is part of the common-sense approach to firearms legislation that polls show […]

Ahhh, the 1990s, a decade of good and bad. When The Rachel was the haircut that all the women wanted, Grunge replaced Metal in the music world, and the Clinton Assault Weapons Ban happened.

A couple decades ago, police had a lot of credibility in the gun community. When we’d need to get a carry permit, it often would involve police-approved training, and the permit would be issued by a state or local police agency (or some division of one). Being “into guns” was even a gateway into law […]

“Ah, the poor man’s Cape Buffalo.” And with that simple quip, George described both my fantasy and my reality. On our way north from Pretoria, our young Professional Hunter had asked both myself and my hunting partner what our biggest priority was for the trip. Mike answered, “Zebra.” For me, “Blue Wildebeest. The Brindled Gnu.” […]

The continuing ammunition shortage is making people of the gun a tad desperate.  Perhaps it’s time to think about ammunition as a long-term proposition rather than a recurring annoyance.  We’ve long made use of reloading, which stretches the life of brass by several times.  But what do you do when the other cartridge components are […]
