The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) has a lot of explaining to do in the shocking case of a botched and violent raid on a law-abiding citizen. Mark “Choppa” Manley is a Second Amendment advocate who proudly and legally owns over [...]

Bryan Range committed a felony under existing law in the 1990s; that much is agreed on. He lied to receive food stamps. As part of his punishment, the Pennsylvania man suffered permanent disarmament. But now, the Third Circuit once again ruled that this penalty [...]

Four-to-one odds are not great, especially when there are four attackers and one intended victim. However, the Second Amendment provided the great equalizer that all law-abiding Americans may utilize. A man in Harris County, Texas, found himself in that unenviable situation, having to defend [...]

If someone breaks into another person’s home, they admit that they value that person’s property more than their own life. Tragically, that truism was proven yet again early Friday morning in Bradenton, Florida. Two alleged intruders were caught in the act of illegally entering [...]

Sometimes, having a legal firearm is life-saving for the individual owner or their family, and other times, a random acquaintance or even a stranger benefits from a person exercising their Second Amendment rights. The latter was the case last Friday morning in Summerville, South [...]

Hardworking delivery drivers are all too often deemed “soft targets” by violent criminals who would prey on them as they do their jobs. In one recent Seattle instance, that presumption proved to be anything but accurate. It was early Saturday morning just before 5:00 [...]

The controversial Illinois mandate that firearm purchasers apply and meet requirements for a Firearms Owners Identification (FOID) card is before the 4th District Appellate Court.

With as much justified criticism as Second Amendment advocates level at Congress and federal agencies, there are times when praise is also appropriate. A recent bipartisan congressional act drew admiration from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) for prioritizing policies that benefit hunters and [...]

Anti-Second Amendment forces only nibble around the edges of gun control because they are limited by the Constitution and defenders of freedom. Their true intentions are to end the right to keep and bear arms and all that comes with this liberty. Examples are [...]

There’s a reason you never hear criminals or their defenders extolling the virtues of the Second Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms works against them—and often in a dramatic fashion. A Florida man encountered an alleged intruder Tuesday night around 11:30 p.m., [...]

Americans know the Bill of Rights protects their fundamental liberty to defend their families and property, and the public fully understands that the Second Amendment is hardly a second-class freedom. That same understanding is often lacking in the judiciary, and judges must be reminded [...]

Even in states where gun rights are severely limited, good people choose to protect themselves, their loved ones, and their property with firearms. Washington state gun enthusiasts have endured many recent governmental attacks on the Second Amendment, but they continue to rely on themselves [...]

The naysayers may be loud and enjoy a virtual monopoly on the mainstream media, but ordinary Americans simply don’t believe their messaging. Data released by the Crime Prevention Research Center (CPRC) clearly proves this. The center's numbers show that concealed carry permit applications continue [...]

A violent South Chicago altercation late Saturday night resulted in a 17-year-old stabbing suspect being shot by a lawful gun owner. Investigators reported that the confrontation unfolded at around 11:30 p.m. beside a city street. A teenage girl carrying a sharp object is believed [...]

The Department of Justice (DOJ) will be under new leadership next month, but that’s hardly stopping outgoing officials from piling on new gun control regulations. The DOJ recently introduced two rules under the auspices of the so-called Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA). As a [...]

A quiet evening turned dangerous when a carjacking attempt outside the Crafty Crab restaurant in St. Petersburg, Florida, took a dramatic turn. The suspect, 18-year-old Simon White, was stopped in his tracks when his intended victim acted swiftly to defend himself. Police report [...]

One thing that may be counted on as surely as the sunrise is that an outgoing political party will do everything in its power to ram through last-minute laws and expenditures of taxpayer dollars before they are put out to pasture. That’s precisely what [...]
