The Gun Industry Never Forgets the Cost of Freedom
I once walked among giants. It was a brief time – that feels even more brief as the years pass since I wore the uniform of a U.S. Marine. It was just 25 years, and for some, that might seem as if two-and-a-half decades was a lifetime. Looking back, especially on Memorial Day when we […]
‘Poor Souls’ – Rebranding Bitter Clingers and Deplorables for the 2024 Election Cycle
Today’s gun control politicians are making it clear. It’s not just guns they despise. There are two other primary obstacles to civil disarmament that they loathe. One is the Second Amendment itself. The other, well, it’s you – the gun owner. It wasn’t that long ago when President Barack Obama lambasted gun owners who refused […]
Reagan Had the Answer to Incessant Calls for More Gun Control Laws
President Joe Biden said it again. Given another term, he’ll do gun control.

There’s a sense of déjà vu all over again when it comes to the federal government shutting down efforts to put a halt to Mexican gun-running schemes. U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has released a series of whistleblower documents that raise the ghosts of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ ill-fated Operation Fast […]
ATF Director Frustrated That Congress, The Courts, and the Public Don’t Want ATF to Make Their Own Gun Control Laws
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Director Steven Dettelbach joined CBS’s Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan to talk about violent crime committed with firearms and the tools he wants from Congress. The problem is those requests have already been rejected by Congress for good reason. Those tools would violate federal law and would […]
Treasury Secretary Dodges Questions on Feds Spying on Americans’ Financial Activity
U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen couldn’t – or wouldn’t – tell Congress whether or not her department ordered financial institutions to spy on the transactions of private and law-abiding citizens. The Treasury Department is suspected of telling large financial institutions to hand over transaction information of any potential purchases of firearms, ammunition or purchases at sporting goods […]
