Gun Groups’ Warm Welcome for Trump’s Proposed ATF Head is Premature

Gun owners who pay attention to his confirmation hearings will have a chance to hear for themselves, and see how Cekada’s answers, especially to questions posed by anti-gun Democrats, comport with being “truly pro-Second Amendment.” [More]

“He won’t betray us as much” seems a heck of a standard to applaud.

‘Just Following Orders’

So DOJ is just following orders?

Precedent says that’s no excuse:

In the case of the US v. Josef Altstötter, et al., an American military tribunal tried members of the Reich Ministry of Justice as well as jurists and prosecutors of the People’s Court [Volksgericht] and Special Court [Sondergericht].

Upcoming Account Changes Due to CA Assembly Bill 1263

The CA legislature recently passed Assembly Bill 1263, which puts additional regulations on the sale and shipment of firearm parts and gunsmithing tools. Unfortunately, this means that there will be some new restrictions on how you order and how we ship firearm parts and gunsmithing tools to you. [More]
