Most Recent Year Firearm-Related Deaths Were the Third Lowest on Record
By Joe Bartozzi The firearm and ammunition industry’s commitment to secure firearm storage and safe firearm handling is – again – proving its effectiveness. The National Safety Council’s report on preventable injury and fatality statistics shows that firearm-related deaths were at the third lowest on record for 2022, the most recent year for which data is available. […]
Shooting Straight: It’s Time to Abolish the ATF
The phrase “common sense gun laws” is uttered by politicians and those on the anti-gun side more times than we can count. It is, after all, a fantastic catch-all phrase that implies anyone who disagrees is a fool who, of course, possesses no common sense (and also wants children to die). Maybe one of the […]
‘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 […]
No One Really Knows What to Expect at NRA Dallas
This year’s NRA Show – the NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits, as it’s properly known – comes against the backdrop of major changes at the top of America’s leading Second Amendment advocacy organization.

Good News: Anti-Gun Pseudo-Science Getting Reality-Checked More Often
When it comes to America’s Gun Control Industry pushing for more gun control, there’s just not much in the way of fact-based discourse to back it. So, instead of relying on facts and data, they cook the books. Statistics? They bury anything that isn’t good for their cause. Then they push feelings when that doesn’t […]
Shooting Straight: Ditch Your Home Defense Shotgun
Times change. That applies to more than the disturbing resurgence of 90s clothing or the way trucks are turning into glorified Tonka toys. Your home defense shotgun—the one that’s propped up near the front door or leaning against the wall by your bed—it’s time to get rid of it. Or, at least, store it properly […]
Anti-Gun Physicians Playing a Game of Gun Control Telephone
Fake mass-shooting data has infected the medical community for a long time, and the infection is spreading. As soon as one anti-gun doctor publishes flawed research, another like-minded physician will piggyback on the previous study. It’s almost like the children’s telephone game, because the final message is always indecipherable. Too many health care professionals see […]
Commerce Export Ban Targets Hunters, Competitors Traveling Overseas
Hunters and competitive marksmen and women thinking about traveling overseas for their next adventure should keep in mind that the Biden administration’s new rule targeting firearm exports also puts their personally-owned firearms in the crosshairs. The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) published an Interim Final Rule that makes permanent a freeze on firearm and […]
Sorry, Joe, Crime Isn’t Actually Down, It Just Isn’t Being Reported
In his State of the Union address this year, President Joe Biden proclaimed that “Americans deserve the freedom to be safe, and America is safer today than when I took office,” boasting that “[l]ast year, the murder rate saw the sharpest decrease in history, and violent crime fell to one of the lowest levels in more than […]
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 […]
