You Ain't Taking My Guns

“According to statistics from the NRA, around 23% of women in the U.S. own guns, when just 13% did in 2005,” writes Susanne Edward in her piece in Americas1stFreedom, “The RISE of the Woman Gun Owner.”

“The National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF),” she continues, “has documented a 77% rise in female gun ownership since 2005.”

As Democrats target the suburban female demographic in 2020, they might want to check that, “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47” strategy at the door.

Millions of men and women across America are here to tell Democrats "You ain't takin' my guns." Read more about Americans fighting back against gun control below:

Texas Fights Federal Gun Control and Commerce Clause Abuse

By

You know that Texas has become the 21st state to allow permitless carry (starting in September), but you may not know that Gov. Greg Abbott signed another bill at the same time that would allow for Texans to buy silencers without a license, as long as they were built in Texas. The bill not only tests the federal government's control over the 2nd Amendment but also the extent to which the Constitution's Commerce Clause protects commerce within the boundaries of a state.  The Commerce Clause gives Congress the power “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and … [Read more...]

Texas Finally Set to Become Permitless Carry State

By

You have been reading about Texas gun owners' push to codify permitless carry in their state all year long. Now, Governor Greg Abbott has signed a bill sent to him by Texas's legislature to make the Lone Star State a permitless carry state by September 1.

House Bill 1927 eliminates the requirement for Texas residents to obtain a license to carry handguns if they’re not prohibited by state or federal law from … [Read more...]

SECOND AMENDMENT: Judge Overturns California Assault Weapons Ban

By

For 32 years Californians have had their Second Amendment right infringed upon by the state's draconian "assault weapons ban." The ban has prevented Golden Staters from owning most standard versions of America's most popular firearm, the AR-15. In his ruling, Judge Roger Benitez struck a blow to the heart of the central argument of most anti-gun activists, saying, "One is to be forgiven if one is persuaded by news media and others that the nation is awash with murderous AR-15 assault rifles. The facts, however, do not support this hyperbole, and facts matter. In California, murder by knife … [Read more...]

Radical Anti-Gun Politicians File First Lawsuit Against 2nd Amendment Sanctuary

By

In Oregon, radical anti-gun politicians have filed the nation's first lawsuit against a Second Amendment sanctuary law. The AP reports (abridged): The first court test of whether local governments can ban police from enforcing certain gun laws is playing out in a rural Oregon county, one of a wave of U.S. counties declaring itself a Second Amendment sanctuary. The measure that voters in the logging area of Columbia County narrowly approved last year forbids local officials from enforcing most federal and state gun laws and could impose thousands of dollars in fines on those who … [Read more...]

Here’s What’s Important in the Supreme Court Second Amendment Case

By

Amy Swearer reports in the Daily Signal on what Americans should know about the Second Amendment case (New York State Rifle & Pistol v. Corlett) the Supreme Court will soon hear. She writes (abridged): 1. This case is about the right to carry firearms in public. New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett provides the Supreme Court with the opportunity to address a very important question it so far has declined to answer: When the Second Amendment protects the right to bear arms, does it mean a right to bear a handgun in public for purposes of self-defense? According to … [Read more...]

Broader Gun Ownership Will Protect the Second Amendment

By

A funny thing happened last summer while mostly black neighborhoods were being hit by riots and looting. Black Americans became the fastest growing group of new gun owners. They wanted to secure the same peace for their neighborhoods as any other American, and bought firearms to protect themselves from roving bands of BLM/Antifa activists who seemed bent on burning down entire cities. Now, those new gun owners have gone through a transition many new gun owners do, they've become activists intent on protecting their rights to own firearms. Stephen Gutowski writes at The Reload: John Keys … [Read more...]

Your Survival Guy: MVP, Cryptos, GUNS, Big Macs & YOU

By

How are you? Are you thinking about where we are in life right now? Wondering if it will ever go back to “normal?” I know I am. It can get pretty upsetting thinking of how easily they take things away. As if they know what’s best for you and me. They don’t. In thinking about survival, one theme that rings true is our attitude. Do we believe we’ll make it? Do we believe in ourselves? I know I believe in you. When you read about survival stories, oftentimes there’s not a heroic act that separates those who make it from those who don’t. It’s an important reminder to keep in your back pocket. … [Read more...]
