That's the question asked by Norris Sweidan, owner of Warrior One Guns & Ammo in Riverside, Calif., where the walls are lined with AR- and AK-style rifles modified to be legal in the state, when he told The Wall Street Journal, “They all shoot the same. These people that are passing the laws, how many of them do you think have actually shot a gun?” The obvious answer from watching politicians talk about guns is, not many. Perhaps the best known example of a politician displaying his complete ignorance of firearms is California State Senator Kevin De Leon's "ghost gun" monologue. Watch … [Read more...]
American Gun Owners Are Afraid of 2020: Gun Stocks are Rising
Nearly all the Democrats running have expressed their desire to impose draconian gun control measures on Americans. As the threats to Americans' gun rights in 2020 become clearer, many Americans are taking my advice to get their guns and their training now. The number of background checks rose in May compared to the year before, meaning more Americans were out attempting to buy firearms. Americans' firearms buying habits are an indicator of their perception of political risk that I use as a part of my monthly RAGE Gauge computation. Another group paying attention to firearms purchases … [Read more...]

More Gun Control Equals More Crime in Colorado
On NRATV's show Cam & Co., host Cam Edwards explains the failure of Colorado's expansion of gun control under Governor John Hickenlooper. Edwards notes that Hickenlooper and other gun control advocates like Sen. Cory Booker are running for president. Despite the evidence that these gun control measures do nothing, the radicals in the Democrat Party seem bent on enacting them to punish law abiding gun owners. Anyone with the ability to do so should get their guns and their training now. … [Read more...]
Radical Democrats are Terrifying Americans. They’re Running to the NRA for Protection

California: Hero Teacher and Reserve Police Officer Punished for Being Armed
America's 1st Freedom (A1F) reports that Joseph Nguyen, a hero teacher, who moonlights as a police officer, has been punished for keeping his service firearm in a locked cabinet at the school where he works. A1F explains that: “California Gun Laws states ‘a person may possess a firearm in a school zone when the person is a duly appointed peace officer, honorably retired police officer, or a security guard authorized to carry a concealed firearm under state law.’ A Level 1 Officer is recognized as a Duly Appointed Peace Officer. Not only has this teacher gone above and beyond in the classroom … [Read more...]
Driving into Gun Hell without Your Survival Pistol of Choice
In speaking with a client recently, he revealed to me his go-to survival pistol, which I’ll tell you about it in a minute. But first, he told me the story about driving from his home state of Arizona, where he owns over 200 pistols, to what he referred to as “gun hell.” He was none too pleased about being without his sidearm. “Welcome to Massachusetts.” He was bringing some things to his daughter who lives in Massachusetts, and knowing it’s a felony to have a handgun in your car—unless you’re driving directly through and into another state (interstate) or have a MA CCL—he felt exposed on … [Read more...]
Democrat Presidential Candidate Doubles Down on Anti-Gun Madness
The many candidates in the Democratic Presidential Primary are now attempting to outdo one another with policies that will appeal to the party's hard left supporters. One policy area which seems to be an auction for the worst ideas is gun control. Up until now, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) has been leading the bidding with her proposals to use executive orders to unconstitutionally infringe on gun owners' rights. Now there's a new contender in the race for most restrictive proposals. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), has rolled out a proposal that would add a number of new regulations. The Daily Mail … [Read more...]
Kamala Harris Threatens Unilateral Gun Control if Elected
In a picture perfect example of why the Founding Fathers added the Second Amendment to the Constitution, Democratic presidential primary candidate Sen. Kamala Harris (CA) has threatened to infringe upon Americans' right to bear arms unilaterally if Congress doesn't bend to her will in the first 100 days of her imagined presidency. Harris made the threat during a CNN town hall on Monday night. Specifically she said she would mandate background checks for anyone buying from an individual selling more than five guns in a year. Conservative commentator Katie Pavlich came down hard on Harris' … [Read more...]
How Often Can Armed Americans Successfully Defend Themselves?
Jacob Paulsen at ConcealedCarry.com has taken the time to parse through some data from the FBI to uncover how successful armed citizens are at defending themselves during active shooter events. He writes: We decided to take a look at one specific metric that John Lott and the FBI didn't really consider. The success rate of armed citizens. John Lott's team did talk about the overall success rate of armed citizens against all Active Shooter incidents in the US but they failed to consider the most important variable. OPPORTUNITY.
