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:

These Companies Can’t Make Enough Ammunition

By

You know that America has been gripped by an ammunition shortage since the beginning of the Coronavirus scare. Thankfully there has been some improvement, but ammo is still scarce, and costly. Americans have been spending more time in the outdoors hunting and shooting, but they've also been worried about spiking crime instigated by Democratic politicians. Feeding the demand for ammunition has been impossible for the country's two major producers, Vista Outdoor and Olin Corp. The Economist reports: Just two companies, Vista Outdoor and Olin Corp, meet the bulk of America’s demand for … [Read more...]

SELF DEFENSE: Americans Lose Taste for Gun Control as Violence Rages

By

Support for gun control among Americans has fallen to the lowest level since 2014, according to a new Gallup poll. Zusha Elinson reports in The Wall Street Journal: Americans’ support for stricter gun-control measures has fallen to its lowest level since 2014, according to a poll released Wednesday by Gallup. The results of the October survey come as the number of violent crimes, including murder, has risen and after Americans purchased a record number of guns in 2020. According to the poll, 52% of U.S. adults say they want stricter gun laws—down from 67% in 2018 after a mass shooting … [Read more...]

INJUSTICE: Court Lets NY Get Away With Violating Second Amendment

By

A panel of judges on the 2nd US. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan has rejected the NRA's appeal against an unjust New York law that closed gun shops in the state during the pandemic. The panel ruled against the NRA because the order no longer applied, and the statutes had been changed in order to prevent a similar order in the future. But is that justice? The court is letting New York get away with a temporary crime. As Tom Knighton explains in Bearing Arms, it's not right. He writes: If we don’t have access to a gun store, we don’t necessarily have a right to keep and bear … [Read more...]

Rittenhouse Prosecutor Says Hollowpoints “Explode”: Ignorance Breeds Fear

By

Of all the crazy and inaccurate things Americans have heard Thomas Binger say over the last couple weeks, possibly the strangest is that hollowpoint bullets "explode." Binger has been fixated on the difference between full metal jacket rounds and hollowpoint rounds, for some inexplicable reason. AWR Hawkins reports on Binger's statements at Breitbart.com: Prosecutor Thomas Binger cross-examined Kyle Rittenhouse in court on Wednesday and suggested hollow point bullets are designed to “explode” inside an animal. “Hollow point bullets are designed to hit the animal that they’re being shot at, … [Read more...]

LAST LINE OF DEFENSE: Gun Grabbers Don’t Want Teachers Protecting Kids

By

In a school shooting, teachers are often the last line of defense between the perpetrator and the kids just trying to learn. Anti-gun crusaders like Everytown for Gun Safety want to prevent trained and vetted teachers from protecting children with firearms. Many schools don't have the resources to hire additional security, so having volunteer teachers and staff, trained and vetted and ready to stand up to any threat is a way to maximize security with minimal resources. Why would anyone want to deny children safe schools? This argument is playing out right now in Ohio, where anti-gun … [Read more...]

DOCUMENT LEAK: Biden’s Backdoor Gun Registry Scheme Revealed

By

Remember when Joe Biden praised Beto O'Rourke as someone who could lead his efforts on gun control? Remember Beto O'Rourke's signature line about guns in the Democratic debates? “Hell, yes, we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” Remember when Biden wanted to appoint avowed gun-grabber David Chipman as head of the BATFE? Now, out of the darkness, Biden's backdoor gun registry scheme has been revealed. Documents obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show that the Biden administration has been building a backdoor gun registry with its collection of records on millions of Americans. Adam … [Read more...]

Terry McAuliffe Is an Imminent Threat to Virginians Second Amendment Rights

By

The gubernatorial election in Virginia has become a battle over parents' rights to influence their children's education, but that's not the only issue at hand. Virginia's Democrat-controlled legislature is keen on restricting Virginians' Second Amendment freedoms, and Terry McAuliffe is eager to help them. Garrett O'Leary explains in America's 1st Freedom just how bad it would be if Terry McAuliffe moved back into the Virginia governor's mansion. He writes: With only two gubernatorial elections being held throughout the nation this year, Virginia’s has come into the national spotlight. This … [Read more...]

TENNES-SEE YOU LATER MASSACHUSETTS! Anti-Gun Politicians Drive Smith & Wesson to Knoxville

By

Storied firearms manufacturer, Smith & Wesson, has decided to leave Springfield, Massachusetts, its home for 169 years, to move to Knoxville, Tennessee. The anti-gun climate of Massachusetts, where the legislature is considering bills that would outlaw the manufacture of sporting rifles like those that generate much of Smith & Wesson's revenue, has encouraged the company to look to friendlier ground. The Boston Globe reports: The gunmaker Smith & Wesson, based in Springfield since it was founded in 1852, announced Thursday that it will move its headquarters to Tennessee, due to … [Read more...]

SECOND AMENDMENT: Guess Who’s Buying All the Guns

By

You know that it's been a tough year-and-a-half to buy guns or ammo, or really anything shooting-related. I talk to many gun shop owners regularly, and anecdotally I knew more women were buying guns than ever before, but now the numbers are in and they are epic. Nearly half of the gun buyers from the start of 2019 to April 2021 were women. That's an unprecedented uptick in females buying firearms. No wonder shelves have been bare. Zusha Elinson reports on the trend in The Wall Street Journal, writing: Close to half of all new U.S. gun buyers since the beginning of 2019 have been women, … [Read more...]
