In this era of “fact-checking,” gun control extremists should know better than to run around shouting statistics that are easily debunked. But they do not, and an outlandish claim earlier this week generated strong pushback. Anti-Second Amendment crusaders Giffords posted on X a declaration [...]

A New Mexico legislator sounded the alarm last week over renewed attempts by anti-gun forces to make criminals out of law-abiding citizens. State Rep. Stefani Lord (R) blasted the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion Act, or SB 279. This controversial measure would ban the import, [...]

Nowhere in the nation’s rich history and tradition, and certainly nowhere in the Constitution, is there anything that even hints at requiring a governmental permission slip to exercise your freedoms. This certainly applies to the right to keep and bear arms, but someone needs [...]

The Age 21 Act is before the U.S. Senate, proving there are no breaks for Second Amendment advocates.

That question will be determined by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which heard arguments last week from both sides of the issue.
