‘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 […]
AOC Knows Even Less About Ammunition Than She Does About Economics
By Matt Manda In a demonstration that America’s outdoors and recreational shooting sports pastimes still bring people together, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 615 in a bipartisan vote, sending the Protecting Access for Hunters and Anglers Act over to the U.S. Senate for consideration. The bill is strongly supported by NSSF and would require […]
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. This time, he’s grotesquely dismissive of the high price of freedom that has been paid with the lives of those who fought and died to preserve American independence.

In 2022, Indiana became the […]
Failed VA Veto Session Shows the Importance of Governors Who Respect Gun Rights
By Christopher G. Kopacki, Ph.D Virginia’s General Assembly gathered in Richmond for the Reconvened Regular Session (or Veto Session).

This veto session is more significant than usual for the firearm industry […]
WaPo Asked DC Residents About Crime and Got Answers They Didn’t Expect
Skyrocketing crime in major cities was a tragic consequence of the confluence of several factors. There was the coronavirus pandemic, prolonged lockdowns, defund the police riots and the rise in soft-on-crime city prosecutors that refused – and still do – to hold criminals accountable. Just one month ago, The Washington Post editorial board decried a […]
Congress Blasts Woke Climate Change Wildlife Refuge Initiative by US Fish & Wildlife Service
Congress had sharp criticism for a proposed rule that would prioritize a climate change agenda over a proven hunting conservation strategy that has benefitted wildlife conservation and sportsmen and women. It’s not the first time, either. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (USFWS) proposed Biological Integrity, Diversity and Environmental Health (BIDEH) rule update would implement […]
