Did Quebec really think gun owners would line up single file to have their rights taken away? Gun registration is the first step to gun confiscation, and Quebec's firearms owners understand that. The NRA magazine, America's 1st Freedom explains how Quebec's gun owners are resisting registration. They write: Either fewer Quebeckers own guns than the government thought, or more are standing by their right to keep their personal belongings under the radar. Or the idea of registering firearms may just be a failure. Regardless, Quebec’s Firearms Registration Act has resulted in an unimpressive … [Read more...]

Through ineptitude or outright enabling legislation, many Western European governments have allowed terrorists, whether home grown or as part of the "refugee" wave, to proliferate within their borders. The lackluster efforts by these governments to root out terrorists and deal with them accordingly, has caused many Europeans to lose faith in the ability of their governments to protect them.

Valentina Pop reports in the Wall … [Read more...]

In the video clip below, Tucker Carlson talks with author David Harsanyi about Americans' rights to own firearms, and attempts to limit that right. Harsanyi has recently written a book called, First Freedom: A Ride Through America's Enduring History with the Gun.  The segment is informative, because it's important for all Americans to understand the value of their right to bear arms, and the critical protection of that right afforded by the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

In violence riddled Latin America, a new wave of violence against women is growing. Despite relatively strict gun control laws in Latin America, the number of homicides with firearms is high, and those who follow the gun control laws are put in a weakened position compared to the gang and cartel members who wreak havoc on society while disregarding any gun laws.

Anti-gun propaganda is powerful, and … [Read more...]

With a personal fortune of $45.8 billion and a political network that spans the country doing his anti-gun bidding, Michael Bloomberg may be poised to enter the 2020 presidential race on the Democratic ticket. The former Mayor of New York City is America's most avid anti-gun billionaire, and has done more to attack the members of the NRA, and gun owners in general, than any other person in America. In the January 2019 issue of the NRA published magazine, America's First Freedom, Bloomberg is quoted as saying "We've got to make them afraid of us," in reference to law abiding Americans who … [Read more...]
