BREAKING: ATF Raids Ares Armor In Direct Violation of Court Issued Restraining Order
We’ve always said that a restraining order is just a piece of paper. Usually we’re referring to defensive gun uses when we say that.

BREAKING: Connecticut Begins Sending Out Letters to Unregistered Gun Owners – For Real This Time
Well, we knew this was coming. We had a bit of a premature report last month about gun owners supposedly getting letters from the state of Connecticut telling them to either destroy or relinquish unregistered “assault weapons” (that’s the state of Connecticut’s term, not mine). Now it looks like gun owners who failed to register […]

Research Shows That the NSA’s Phone Meta-Data Collection Program Can ID Who Owns Firearms
Last year’s revelation that the NSA was forcing every major phone carrier to turn over phone records for millions of American citizens was pretty shocking to many people. What I found even more shocking was how few people actually cared. I heard, “well, it’s just phone records, it’s not like they’re listening,” or “well, I […]

[Video] Why I Carry: Six Home Invaders Terrorize Couple and Sexually Assault Pregnant Woman
Stories like this aren’t pleasant. In fact, they’re downright disturbing, but I’m going to start highlighting more of them in a segment called “Why I Carry”.

Homeowner’s Association May Force Grandmother to Remove Anti-Crime Sign From Her Yard
I’m generally not a fan of advertising the fact that you’re armed on the outside of your home or vehicle as it may tip criminals off the locations of firearms to steal. That said, I fully, 100% support the right of anyone to display anything they want on their own private property. In this case, […]

Despite the fact that I don’t support government mandated training to exercise Second Amendment rights (mainly because the government usually makes a mess of such things), I am huge proponent of training. Get as much training as your wallet and calendar allows, it very well might save your life. Case in point, Lisa Atkin was […]
ARES Armor Under Investigation, Almost Raided by ATF Over Certain 80% AR-15 Lowers
ARES Armor is one of the largest companies in the US that caters to the 80% AR15 lower market. Under current laws, an 80% lower is not considered a firearm as it still requires machining work to be completed before it can be operational. Because of this ARES Armor can sell these to anyone. It’s […]

[Video] Comedian Chelsea Handler ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS Piers Morgan on One of His Final Shows
This isn’t really directly gun related, but Piers Morgan is one of the most outspoken anti-gunners out there, so anytime he gets burned I feel the need to point it out.
