Second Amendment advocates have long held that young adults are part of “the people” as designated in the Bill of Rights. However, the freedom to keep and bear arms is systematically and arbitrarily denied to a large portion of the U.S. population. The National [...]

A mother is the wrong person to confront with a threat involving her children. This is true up and down nature’s food chain, and the warning certainly applies to one young woman in Decatur, Illinois. Local media reported that the mother and her two [...]

It should be clear that responsible adult college students have the fundamental right to protect themselves. Recent moves have been made to preserve this freedom, and South Dakota voted last week to potentially enshrine this liberty in law. The state currently bans the possession [...]

If anti-Second Amendment extremists were honest, they would readily admit that there are daily incidents where lawful gun owners use their weapons to protect themselves from violent criminals. But these forces would rather try to convince the American public that weapons are the root [...]

Waiting periods for gun purchases are a pie-in-the-sky fantasy of anti-gunners that crime will somehow be solved by making law-abiding citizens wait. In truth, violent criminals are entirely unaffected by such arbitrary restrictions. On Thursday, U.S. District Court Judge Lance Walker tossed cold water [...]

Even as Second Amendment-related businesses are protected from frivolous and potentially crippling lawsuits by federal statute, anti-gunners find novel ways to circumvent this shield. The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) was passed with bipartisan support in 2005 to ensure that the [...]

One of the tired but recurring themes of anti-gunners seeking to ban so-called “assault weapons” is that these semi-automatic weapons are never used for self-defense. That charge is patently false, and it was proven yet again in a frightening and potentially deadly incident last [...]

Just when you thought the Mexican government’s attempt to tear down the U.S. gun industry could not get any more ridiculous, officials south of the border sank to a surprising new low. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum declared that her troubled nation will expand its [...]

A striking blow for gun rights rang out Monday when Judge T. Scott Webb ruled that Illinois’ mandate that state residents possess a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card—even for self-defense in the home—was unconstitutional. Vivian Claudine Brown was charged in 2017 for having a [...]

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is under extreme fire for what gun rights advocates charge are years of undermining the Second Amendment. Some prominent lawmakers even call for it to be dismantled altogether, a once unthinkable act that is suddenly [...]

It is difficult to conceive of the U.S. government funding groups actively seeking to undermine the Constitution, but recent revelations exposed this troubling pattern. The treasure trove of Washington misdeeds spotlighted in recent weeks included the troubling truth that taxpayer dollars are paying for [...]

Gun rights advocates in Missouri are geared up for round two of the state’s valiant effort to codify gun rights protections against ATF overreaches. State Sen. Rick Brattin (R) introduced SB 23 late last month, a bill that seeks to resurrect the Second Amendment [...]

Virginia’s status as a state that is evenly divided politically did nothing to slow the momentum of over 20 anti-gun proposals in the General Assembly last week. Lawmakers put forth a wish list of infringements on the right to keep and bear arms that, [...]

Very few laws get under the skin of anti-gunners more than the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA). This two-decade-old legislation was enacted to shield the weapons industry from egregious and frivolous lawsuits intended to bankrupt Second Amendment-related companies. As one state [...]

Barbershops are traditional gathering places for men to swap fishing stories and commensurate about the good old days. They are generally not targets for violent criminals, but no establishment is completely safe in 2025. A disturbing encounter unfolded on Wednesday in San Antonio when [...]

There is a disturbing trend among anti-Second Amendment factions to penalize gun owners financially. State and local governments run by gun rights opponents increasingly work to add “sin taxes” to owning a firearm. This could elevate the price of exercising a fundamental right out [...]

Despite the Second Amendment and clear Supreme Court rulings, anti-gun lawmakers across the nation continue to target the right to keep and bear arms. The latest attempted infringement emerged last week in New Mexico. Lawmakers revived embattled Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham’s (D) 2023 push [...]

Even as a flurry of activity swirled around the new Donald Trump administration, Second Amendment advocates wondered when the steady erosion of gun rights would be addressed. The wait is over. On Friday, Trump issued a new executive order mandating that newly minted Attorney [...]

Hijackings were once a thing that air travelers at least had to consider, but modern technology has essentially made that phenomenon a thing of the past. And the theft of an airplane is almost unheard of. That was the apparent situation on Tuesday when [...]

Accounts of armed self-defense are everywhere, and though Second Amendment enthusiasts celebrate the freedom to keep and bear arms for this fundamental reason, no one is happy when a life is lost. Particularly when the person killed is so young. Police in Albuquerque, New [...]

A federal appeals court just delivered a significant win for the Second Amendment, ruling that the government cannot ban law-abiding 18-to-20-year-olds from purchasing handguns. Naturally, the gun control lobby is losing its mind over it. Federal Court Says Banning Handguns For 18-20 Year-Olds Is [...]

It is a sorry state of affairs when children and the elderly are not immune to random violence, but that is the world we live in. More than ever, it is important to have situational awareness and be prepared, and that for most includes [...]

Florida gun enthusiasts have a tax holiday on the horizon if Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) gets his way. Even as some governments attempt to fill their coffers with new taxes on weapons and ammunition, the Sunshine State is headed in the opposite direction. DeSantis [...]

It is logical to believe that even a burglar would know when to cut his losses when confronted by an armed homeowner, but that is not always the case. Sometimes, lessons must be learned the hard way. A Fort Lauderdale man was startled Saturday [...]

Every gun enthusiast knows some states can be counted on to protect Second Amendment rights. Unfortunately, there are several others dominated by anti-gunners who want nothing more than to eradicate the freedom to keep and bear arms. It comes as quite a surprise when [...]
