Within the state that leads the nation in overreaching gun control, San Diego leads California municipalities in zealously enforcing so-called “red flag” laws. The efforts of local leaders led to hundreds of weapons being confiscated from persons deemed to be dangerous. To be perfectly [...]

As states throw their collective temper tantrums over last year’s monumental Bruen decision, there appears to be a competition to see which can pass the most unconstitutional laws that infringe furthest on citizen’s rights. Massachusetts is poised to take the lead. State leaders have [...]

A weekend and July 4th holiday marred by violent incidents across the nation included multiple deadly shootings in Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Fort Worth. And amazingly, there was not one loud public proclamation for getting tougher on violent criminals. Instead, it was the same old [...]

A startling Internal Revenue Service (IRS) armed raid on a Montana gun store early last month led one congressman to act against the armed agency. Speaking exclusively to Fox News, Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-MT) announced a bill Friday to prohibit the IRS from exploiting [...]

Another Second Amendment case will be heard by the U.S. Supreme Court, but this new litigation bears an unusual hallmark. It was neither brought by gun rights advocates nor supported by these organizations. It will, however, be worth noting how justices rule on yet [...]
