You Ain't Taking My Guns

Radical gun control activists, both in and out of government, are nothing if not persistent. After being soundly beaten time and time again in front of the Supreme Court, they continue to imagine new ways to hamper Americans' ability to exercise their Second Amendment rights. The city of San Jose has found a novel way to make the lives of law-abiding gun owners miserable. Zusha Elinson reports in The Wall Street Journal: Dave Truslow, a San Jose, Calif., tech-industry retiree and firearms instructor, recently started storing his collection of more than 100 guns out of town because he wanted … [Read more...]

Illinois just became less safe as the state’s legislators signed House Bill 5471 into law yesterday. From the NRA: House Bill 5471 bans many semi-automatic firearms that law-abiding citizens commonly own for self-defense, competition, and recreation, as well as certain spare parts for them, bans handgun magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition, long gun magazines that can hold more than ten rounds of ammunition, and “combination[s] of parts” from which such magazines can be assembled, bans .50 BMG caliber firearms and ammunition, and expands the duration of the state's “red … [Read more...]

Originally posted on July 20, 2020. If you live anywhere near Chicago/Seattle/Portland, you’re asking me, how much longer will it take for them to come to my neighborhood? Over the last two days alone in Chicago, 63 people were shot, 12 fatally. In Seattle, twelve police officers were hurt in violent protests. And in Portland, the Police Association office was burned. What a weekend. Listen, the clock is ticking for you to do everything you can to make you and your family a hard target. In other words, as difficult as possible to damage you or a loved one. Thugs like easy … [Read more...]

After the Supreme Court struck down New York's unconstitutional concealed carry rules, Governor Kathy Hochul implemented rules that were even more unconstitutional. Congressman Lee Zeldin, a lawyer, and current Army Reserve lieutenant colonel, who is running against Hochul for New York's governorship, schooled her on the mistake in a recent debate. Watch: NY Governor candidate Lee Zeldin says Kathy Hochul's gun grab scheme will be overturned in court because "of course it's unconstitutional" We [@NysJGunClub] are fighting the gun grab in court. Help us overturn it by donating to our … [Read more...]

Natural disasters bring out the best and worst in humanity. You've seen videos of amazing acts of heroism coming out of Florida after Hurricane Ian's landfall there, but also you've probably heard reports of some of the sad behavior that follows too many natural disasters. Looters tend to swoop in on such occasions and take advantage of people who are already victims of the worst nature can throw at them. Florida's Governor, Ron DeSantis reminded looters and thugs who may seek to take advantage of the plight of Floridians hit hard by Ian that the state is a "Second Amendment state." The NY … [Read more...]

Until now, gun shops have been classified in the miscellaneous retail or sporting goods portions of the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO) merchant codes. But, heeding the call of radical progressive Democratic politicians like Kathy Hochul, the ISO has created a segregated code for gun shops. You may be wondering why law-abiding Americans should have any of their purchases red-flagged in such a way. Your Survival Guy certainly is. The only answer appears to be, in the NRA's words, an erosion of "the rights of law-abiding Americans one transaction at a time." Kevin Haggerty … [Read more...]

You recently watched Joe Rogan slam Hollywood for its hypocrisy on guns on his podcast. Almost as if in answer, Jennifer Lawrence confirmed his assertions in an upcoming interview with Vogue, saying derisively, "people are still voting for politicians who receive money from the NRA." The hypocritical part is that Lawrence herself has made money many times by wielding firearms in her films. AWR Hawkins writes in Breitbart: Actress Jennifer Lawrence, who has used guns ranging from pump shotguns to .45 caliber pistols on-screen in four different films, is pushing gun control for the American … [Read more...]

In a bizarre tweet, New York Governor Kathy Hochul encouraged credit card companies American Express, Mastercard, and Visa to "categorize firearm purchases & flag suspicious activity." It's hard to imagine what credit card companies would do to find "suspicious activity" in a transaction between legal gun purchasers and gun shops. The governor's tweet is just another in a long line of Democrat attempts to use the banking and credit card systems to thwart the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. Townhall reports: New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) tweeted on Wednesday that in … [Read more...]

After taking time out of his attacks on Americans' rights to spend their money on wars in other countries, and to raise their taxes with his new "Inflation Reduction Act," Joe Biden is back at it, calling for infringements on the Second Amendment. The Daily Mail's Morgan Phillips and Emily Goodin reported on a recent speech by Biden in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. They write: The president also promised to ban assault-style rifles, harkening back to the 1994 ban that expired in 2004. 'I'm determined to ban assault weapons in this country. Determined. I did it once and I'll do it again,' he … [Read more...]
