We’re the Only Ones Circumscribed Enough

‘Police can’t be everywhere’: Columbia police chief responds to weekend gun violence [More]

So… ghost guns?

Every terrible implement of the soldier… this is what it’s all about. This is what the Democrats and Swamp Republicans want to deny to us.

This is why when we focus exclusively on “self-defense” we’re leaving major arguments ignored, to our peril.

National Rifle Association Sues Sister Organization NRA Foundation [More]

Some of us have been noticing shaky foundations for some time, including Nicholas at 2A White Rook, who has been asking questions of people who don’t want to answer.

John Petrolino peels back some layers and shows us we’ve been right to raise concerns.

We’re the Only Ones Caring Enough

I see some hyperventilating. Keep in mind:

2% chance of being enacted

And 0% chance at least 3% of gun owners will not comply if it ever is.

It’s not the first time they’ve tried it. It won’t be the last.

Shameless Plug

The Jan. 2026 issue of Firearms News is now available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic or via subscription (digital only or digital and print). We’ve talked about how Guns and American Handgunner have gone out of print, and how even NRA is reducing print issues to save costs, and me, I do enough online reading.
