A Tough Year for Gun Owners, Another Looms on Horizon :: 12/28/2018
America’s gun owners may be particularly eager to celebrate the end of 2018 next Monday night, because for Second Amendment activists, it has been a tough year, and with Democrats led by Nancy Pelosi preparing to take control of the U.S. House of Representatives, the next 12 months could be rough as well.
A Year of Evil and Saviors :: 12/28/2018
I was studying people who cause mass murder and the people who stop it. That study is unpleasant but necessary. Sometimes I find it revolting. I can’t study it for hours each day. I’m glad I have a choice to set it aside. I can step away from evil and see the amazing joys in life. Not everyone is so lucky. Here is my gratitude to those who face evil every day.
Firearms Policy Coalition challenges Matt Whitaker appointment, authority in bump stocks lawsuit :: 12/28/2018
A gun rights group this week sued to block the Trump administration’s new ban on “bump stocks,” arguing that Matthew G. Whitaker was wrongly installed as acting attorney general so any official actions he takes are illegal.

Bipartisan Support for New Federal Gun Controls Is a Red Flag :: 12/27/2018
Is more gun control legislation coming to Congress? The 2018 midterm elections produced a split Congress with Democrats gaining control of the House and Republicans gaining seats in the Senate.
Credit Cards and Guns: One Last Point :: 12/27/2018
The New York Times’ Christmas Eve feature about mass shooters buying guns with credit cards has already been ably dismantled by Kevin Williamson, David French, and just about everyone I follow on Twitter, but I wanted to add a quick point. Specifically, these few paragraphs from the Times story are important but seldom noted by the piece’s critics (emphases mine):
How The Left Manipulates Facts To Advance The Narrative :: 12/27/2018
Anti-gunners love to distort facts. In fairness, they’re far from the only ones who do it, but anti-gun leftists are especially fond of this tactic. Personally, I think they’re so good at it that they do it on a subconscious level, never realizing they’re knee-deep in a delusion.
Trump More Of A Gun Control President Than Obama :: 12/27/2018
To say there’s anger over President Trump’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives changing the rules over bump stocks is an understatement. While there isn’t the kind of outrage you’d see if he’d tried to ban semi-autos by fiat, there’s still a lot of hostility out there, and for good reason. We don’t like our supposedly uninfringeable rights being infringed.
3D-printed gun plans' restriction faces growing resistance :: 12/26/2018
Thousands of people visited Brandon Combs‘ website over the last month, perusing the blueprints for 3D-printed guns he’s made available for free to the public.
Math Professor Changes Equation On Home Invasion :: 12/26/2018
If there’s one scenario more than any other that prompts people to own a firearm, it’s probably home invasions. I don’t have hard data on that or anything, just an impression based on my experiences talking with people through the years.
The Deconstruction and Repeal of the Second Amendment :: 12/26/2018
Article Two (the Second Amendment) was written as a proscription against government intrusion upon and usurpation of the Natural Rights of Man, because “the right of the people to keep and bear Arms” is the most formidable line of defense against government intrusion on those rights.
Why the Second Amendment Should Be Promoted In Chicago (or ANY Urban Area) :: 12/26/2018
While the suburbs could be decisive for the future of the Second Amendment, urban areas may be prime locations for pro-Second Amendment efforts.
California Reign of Terror Another Gun Control, Sanctuary Fail :: 12/24/2018
UPDATED: This week’s “reign of terror” initiated by a man identified as twice-deported ex-felon Gustavo Garcia-Ruiz demonstrated once again that California’s adopted “sanctuary” status and restrictive gun control laws have failed, and some will add “miserably.”
Credit-Card Companies Can't Stop Mass Shootings :: 12/24/2018
One of the things that really pushes my fringe-libertarian, move-to-Idaho, shoebox-full-of-Swiss-francs-and-a-.45 buttons is the progressive project to use the financial system to secure political goals that the Left cannot achieve through ordinary democratic means or because of such inconveniences as the Bill of Rights. The New York Times is attempting to revive one of those projects today with an essay arguing that the credit-card business should be used as a political tool for gun control.
Piling on the Lawsuits: Now the Brady Campaign Is Suing the Trump Administration. Here's Why. :: 12/24/2018
Gun control group Brady Town to Prevent Gun Violence on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against the State Department for failing to provide documents relating to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request filed five months ago. The Brady Campaign had requested documents pertaining to the State Department's settlement with Defense Distributed which granted the company the right to publish 3-D printed files.
Wisconsin Incident Illustrates Perils Of Open Carry :: 12/24/2018

Californians Get the Government They Deserve. . .and That's Deadly :: 12/22/2018
The state of California is massively in debt. Middle-class jobs are leaving and taking California’s middle class along with them. With growing crime, it is more dangerous to live in California each year. After failure like that, California politicians call for higher taxes and more gun control. Why would politicians propose more of the prescriptions that failed in the past? That is a fascinating question. Let’s see if we can help.
Promised gun legislation introduced in Pittsburgh City Council; gun owners group promises legal fight :: 12/22/2018
PITTSBURGH — A promised package of gun legislation was introduced Tuesday in Pittsburgh City Council but the debate, public hearings, and potential legal battles with gun rights advocates will come in the new year. Sponsors are calling it "common sense" gun legislation for Pittsburgh. Opponents say the controls on guns would be criminal.
ERPO: School Shooting Allegedly Averted By Taking Non-Shooters Guns :: 12/21/2018
The gun community is somewhat divided on red flag laws. I, personally, think they might be useful under some very specific and controlled circumstances as a temporary measure at most. Maybe. Color me skeptical, especially based on what we’ve seen so far from legislatures who have enacted them.
