ATF Rules Capricious, Arbitrary, Political, and Stupid :: 12/24/2020
U.S.A. – -(Ammoland.com)- As gun owners react to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ latest bit of mind-changing nonsense on stabilizing braces, it’s not out of line to recall some acts of capricious rulings from the past. They, too, made no sense other than to show gun owners the agency could impose whatever diktats it wanted and that we were being given no choice but to obey or be destroyed.

Why Working With Democrats On Guns Is Impossible :: 12/24/2020
Right now, political division is extremely high. I don’t want to say it’s at an all-time high because, well, there was that little tiff back in the 1860s that suggests it might have been a tad worse back then. I mean, 620,000 American lives lost is a bit worse than the rioting we’ve seen in the last few years.
BREAKING: ATF Doc Suspends Proposed Pistol Brace Guidance :: 12/23/2020
After receiving more than 50,000 comments in just a matter of days, the Bureau of Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, and Explosives appears to be putting its proposed guidance on pistol stabilizing braces on ice, at least for the time being. In a document posted to the ATF’s website on Wednesday afternoon, associate deputy director Marvin Richardson wrote:
Northam, Virginia Dems Back Away From Their Gun Ban :: 12/23/2020

Why It’s A "Record Year For Gun Violence”" :: 12/23/2020

Supposedly Pro-Gun Politician Embraces Carry Ban :: 12/22/2020
Rhode Island State Senate President Dominick J. Ruggerio, who’s earned an “A”-rating from the National Rifle Association in recent years, is now embracing a gun control bill; going so far as calling it a top priority for 2021. The bill would bar those with concealed carry licenses from carrying on school grounds, even if you’re simply driving through a school parking lot to pick up your child.
How Does ATF's Vague Pistol Brace Guidance Contradict Itself? Let Me Count the Ways :: 12/21/2020
By now we all know about ATF’s proposed “Objective Factors” document by which the agency intends to determine the classification — pistol or short barreled rifle — of a stabilizer brace-equipped pistol. Also by now I hope we have all left a public comment as well as contacted the White House and our representatives to make our opinions heard.
OH Passes Stand Your Ground Bill. What Now? :: 12/21/2020
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has been trying to walk a tightrope. On the one hand, he’s wanted to pass new gun control measures, but on the other, he doesn’t want to alienate his pro-gun base.

H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) was the most influential newspaperman of his era and a prolific author of iconoclastic books and essays. This is reprinted from The Evening Sun of Baltimore, November 30, 1925. Copyright 1925 by The Evening Sun. Republication without credit not permitted.
FDR's 'Second Bill of Rights' and UN Declaration Show How 'Progressives' View You :: 12/20/2020
Tuesday was Bill of Rights Day, December 15, celebrating the ratification of the first 10 amendments to the Constitution. It’s a day I commemorate every year, either with a column or a post on my The War on Guns blog, sometimes with unexpected results.
Joe Biden Is Hesitant About a Day One Assault Weapons Ban Executive Order :: 12/20/2020
Biden gave just one example of how he’d exercise restraint, saying he would resist a suggestion that he “do away with assault weapons.” Said the president-elect, “No one has fought harder to get rid of assault weapons than me, me, but you can’t do it by executive order. We do that, next guy comes along and says, Well, guess what? By executive order, I guess everybody can have machine guns again. So we gotta be careful.”
New Gun Buyers Aren’t Who Most Think They Are :: 12/20/2020
Ever since the pandemic was clearly going to be a pandemic, we watched as gun sales increased exponentially. Millions of Americans went and bought guns. To make matters even more interesting was that despite the media telling us more and more Americans wanted gun control, most of the gun buyers were first-time customers. They were people who’d never owned a gun before in their life, but now wanted something.
Pittsburgh's Peduto Joins Anti-"Ghost Gun" Bandwagon :: 12/20/2020
The way Pittsburgh Mayor Bill Peduto seems to frame it, his anti-gun push was because of what happened at the Tree of Life Synagogue a couple of years ago. After all, a mayor is supposed to do something after a mass shooting in his community, and so trying to ban so-called assault weapons in defiance of state law falls under the heading of “doing something.”
The ATF's Latest Announcement Shows the Agency 'Has Gone Off The Deep End' :: 12/20/2020
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives is a federal law enforcement agency that is not well-received among those who fight to protect our Second Amendment rights. And rightfully so. If Democrats had their way, this agency would be expanded and part of the effort to confiscate firearms the Left views as “scary” looking. To use their lexicon, those “assault weapons” they rail against on a daily basis.
