By Larry Keane Congressman Richard Hudson (R-N.C.) isn’t given to hyperbole. When he speaks, he means what he says. It’s worth paying attention. It’s too bad his fellow Members of Congress would rather listen to gun control sycophants instead of serving the people they were elected to represent. U.S. Rep. Hudson lit into U.S. House […]

We covered Wayne LaPierre’s boilerplate speech to CPAC and panned Mr. Bespoke $20,000 Suit‘s tired routine. We also noted that (thankfully) the NRA is working on finding a replacement.

North American Arms makes some pretty small revolvers.  Suitable for deep cover (Jeremy carries one in his hat).  Or, in the case of a woman in Boone County, Missouri, deep-deep cover.  Amy Wilhite, 39, apparently lacked a holster for her NAA .22 revolver, so she improvised.  She reportedly used the holster that mother nature provided.

I first got my hands on an Atibal X in late 2018, a few months before they were publicly announced. A 1-10x zoom LPVO (low power variable optic) at a reasonable price? Heck yes. That’s a combo I simply had to try out, and I immediately put the X to use. Within six months my […]

By Larry Keane Microstamping has reared up as gun control schemers elevate it as a sophisticated means of “gun safety,” a sly euphemism for gun control. Proponents of the unworkable, unreliable and ineffective concept keep their heads in the sand regarding the feasibility of microstamping mandates because they can’t face the truth. It doesn’t work.

Why regulate guns? The standard answer is that gun laws can prevent needless deaths and physical injury. But this is not a complete accounting. As gun-brandishing protesters and armed invasions of legislatures demonstrate, guns inflict more than physical injuries—they transform the public sphere on which a constitutional democracy depends.

Rewind to September of 2018 and I had just picked up two pairs of Magpul’s then-new sunglasses; a “Terrain” and an “Explorer” model (YouTube video HERE).
