The COVID-19 pandemic has provided the left-wing media (redundancy noted) yet another opportunity to bash gun owners, new and old. It didn't take long after there were mixed messages from various governors, sheriffs and mayors on whether gun retailers would be affected by the COVID-19 for anti-Second Amendment voices in the media to make it […]
It didn't take long after the shelter-at-home orders were issued and restaurant dining rooms and all "non-essential" stores were closed for the sake of public health that gun control advocates decided not to let an opportunity go to waste; they ordered the closure of gun stores under their jurisdiction (and even the closure of firearms […]
State and local governments from coast to coast are using the coronavirus pandemic as cover to deprive citizens of their 2nd Amendment rights. Shortly after a stay-at-home order was issued citizens and "non-essential" businesses were ordered to close in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney published a list of businesses deemed essential—gun stores and ranges were […]
Touring an under construction Fiat-Chrysler plant in Detroit, Mich., earlier today, Democratic presidential front-runner Joe Biden got into a testy exchange with a construction worker over the former vice president's anti-Second Amendment campaign promises. Detroit auto worker: "You are actively trying to diminish our Second Amendment right and take away our guns." Joe Biden: "You're […]
A Deseret News article published Monday on the defeat of three gun control bills in the typically pro-Second Amendment state illustrates a subtle pro-gun control bias that drew the ire of one of the writers at The Truth About Guns. As I stated in the comments to the original article, while I certainly see the bias […]
Democrats in California are continuing their attack on gun rights by proposing banning lead ammo at indoor and outdoor shooting ranges—another effort to make shooting sports and self-defense something only the very rich can afford.

New York lawmakers have proposed a bill that would limit the amount of "assault weapon ammunition" that can be purchased in a given time period. The sale of ammunition for assault weapons, as defined by subdivision twenty-two of section 265.00 of this title, shall be limited to two times the capacity of an authorized weapon […]
California Democrats in the state Assembly voted this week to ensure that churches that are hosted on the weekends on the property of private or public schools continue to be targets of deranged gunmen.

*UPDATE* The Virginia Supreme Court refused to reverse the lawless ruling by Judge Joi Taylor, saying that there was not enough of a legal record—including a transcript of the district court hearing—to come to a determination of whether or not the district court had erred. While that means that the state Capitol grounds will be […]
Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam, best known for appearing either in blackface or a Ku Klux Klan outfit in college, has declared a state of emergency ahead of next Monday's planned gun rights rally at the state capitol. Northam's emergency order will ban weapons of all kinds, including firearms, from the Capitol grounds starting Friday and […]
A public records request submitted three weeks into California's new ammunition background check system shows that the new infringement on Second Amendment rights is working as designed—preventing thousands of law-abiding citizens from purchasing ammo for their firearms. To review, I requested the following information from California's Department of Justice: From July 1, 2019 through July […]
Halloween night five people were killed and several others injured at a party at a rented mansion in Orinda, Calif.
