Washington Residents Finding Firearm Freedom Across the Border in Idaho
The Zielinski family packed up and moved to North Idaho last June, less than two months after Washington Gov. Jay Inslee signed the assault weapons ban into law. “I really got to see how bad things were starting to get,” Zielinski said. “We finally reached a crescendo.” Zielinski opened his own gun store just a […]
Everytown Publication Working Hard to Boost Attendance at This Weekend’s NRAAM
Over 60 exhibitors — including Century Arms, Daniel Defense, Palmetto State Armory, Sig Sauer, Smith & Wesson, Springfield Armory, and Ruger — produce and import military-style assault weapons, such as AR-15s and AK-47s, that have been used in the country’s deadliest mass shootings — including the May 2022 shooting in Allen, Texas, a suburb outside of Dallas, involving an AR-15. AR-15s were also […]
Does Marjorie Taylor Greene Help or Hurt Gun Rights?
These foolish cowards want the government to take away guns & the rights of parents to defend their children in schools. You have to be an idiot to think gun control will create a utopian society where criminals disarm themselves and obey the law. “Gun-free” zones kill people. pic.twitter.com/1T37HH8jEO — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) […]
Canada Punts its Extremely Urgently Needed National Gun Buyback Yet Again
The government gave itself two years to develop a buyback program, which would offer owners fair compensation for their newly prohibited weapons and grant them amnesty for their possession in the interim. (The buyback was actually a 2019 campaign promise.) The government extended that deadline first in March, 2022, to “address issues that have been […]
The WaPo Wins a Pulitzer for its Comically Incompetent Series on the AR-15
Some of the Post’s errors are almost comically incompetent, for example, conflating the velocity of a bullet with the rate of fire of the weapon, as though the speed of the bullet leaving a muzzle had anything to do with how long it takes to fire the next one: “The AR-15 fires bullets at such a […]
LA ‘Firearms Sensei’ Teaches Guns to Those Who Are Sick of America’s Gun Culture
At least two hours have gone by in the Pistol 101 class, and no student has fired a bullet or even picked up a gun. This isn’t a lesson for anyone eager to pull the trigger. Tom Nguyen’s teaching style is patient, aimed at demystifying an object many of his students have spent their lives […]
Ninth Circuit Panel Rules Nonviolent Felons Don’t Lose Their Gun Rights
A Ninth Circuit panel Thursday ruled that a blanket prohibition on convicted felons possessing firearms violates their Second Amendment rights, at least when it comes to nonviolent offenders who served out their sentence. In a split decision, the three-judge panel threw out firearm possession conviction of a Los Angeles member of a street gang who had […]
Henderson: ‘I Can’t Afford to Wait on the Police, so I Armed Myself’
“I’m not telling people to go out and start spraying [bullets], that’s not what I’m telling people to do but we also have to be realistic about what we are up against,” [Keisha] Henderson said. Safety concerns and what she says is a lack of action from the city is why she became a licensed […]
Filipovic: Originalism Makes Banning Guns Much Too Difficult
For all that Heller did to rewrite the modern interpretation of the Second Amendment, Scalia’s opinion still didn’t go quite far enough for the most aggressive gun rights activists. It did not, for example, offer a clear path for courts to evaluate (and strike down) other gun laws. So lower courts implemented a test for those new […]
Is the Body Armor Market Every Going to See Growth Like Suppressors?
The biggest challenge for the civilian body armor industry is the value proposition. We love guns. Everyone in the OSD crew has at least one set of fancy plates. But when we’re talking to newbies, plates are so far down the priority list of what to buy that it doesn’t even come up. You need […]
