On his "best advice to friends" former U.S. attorney Joseph diGenova told Fox News' Laura Ingraham, “I vote, and I buy guns. And that’s what you should do.” I've been telling readers for years to Get Your Gun and Your Training Now. Laws change, times change, but one thing will remain the same, the person in the best position to defend you and your family, is you. You can't do that without the proper tools and training. I've supplemented my regular range training with classes at Sig Sauer Academy, a top of the line shooting facility with world class instructors. You should get the best … [Read more...]

In another case of a good guy with a gun stopping bad guys with a gun, a Florida homeowner shot and killed two burglars attempting to break into his home last week. The state of Florida was a pioneer in the protection of homeowners with its groundbreaking 2005 legislative protection of homeowners and victims. The law is known as the "Castle Doctrine," and protects Floridians from those who would seek to harm them. Fox News reports on the Florida homeowner who took the defense of his home against armed criminals into his own hands: Two men -- one of whom had a gun -- were shot and killed … [Read more...]

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...]

Former Marine officer Jeff Groom takes readers on a trip through an Ohio gun show at The American Conservative. Groom explains the multi-generational appeal of gun shows, and how his grandfather introduced him to the events. He writes: After returning to Ohio after nine years away in the Marines, I found myself with a weekend of free time. So I decided to check out an event I had frequented as a young man: a gun show. Sometimes called gun and knife shows, I was introduced to them by my grandfather in the early 2000s in a small Ohio town called Circleville. It was at that show that I … [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. Understandably, their lack of faith in their government has made many Europeans afraid, and that fear has encouraged them to take their safety into their own hands. 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. I have written a series titled Get Your Gun and Your Training Now, in which I encourage all Americans to take … [Read more...]

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. Juan Forero explains Latin America's rising violence against women in The Wall Street Journal, writing: Latin America has the highest homicide rate in the world. The region’s most-murderous corner—the so-called Northern Triangle of … [Read more...]

Writing at American Greatness, Rich Logis explains how anti-gun radicals like Shannon Watts (funded by former Mayor of New York and fellow anti-gun crusader Michael Bloomberg) forget to mention the specifics when they spout misleading “facts” about guns and violence in America. Logis explains: Anti-gun Propaganda On November 26, as President Trump visited Mississippi ahead of the U.S. Senate runoff election, Watts posted the following: Mississippi has the second highest rate of gun deaths in the nation – nearly 18 deaths per 100,000 residents. 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...]

If you have teenage children or grandchildren, then you know about social media and how it can become an online version of Lord of the Flies. What’s terrifying is that, in a lawless society like many in South America we’re seeing how messaging services like WhatsApp facilitate a rule by mob hysteria. Now is the time to get your guns and your training. Thankfully in Brazil, for example, President Jair Bolsonaro has recognized innocent people deserve to be able to defend themselves from violent gangs. It’s a lesson for you and me on how a polarized society can break apart at the seams. … [Read more...]
