ATF Director Robert Cekada Gets Softball Treatment on Pistol Braces from Colion Noir

Many “conservatives” revere any Trump administration policy as if Moses himself had carried it down from Mount Sinai. [More]

If I go by my own experience, Darwin can expect angry missives from MAGA über alles types demanding to know if he would rather have Kamala and canceling subscriptions in 3…2..1…

And Another Step

ATF’s New Era of Reform… Easing the NFA Transport Burden – In a sea of nothing burgers, here’s half a step in the right direction. [More]

Look, I don’t mean to just sound negative and admit this is a hell of a lot better than anything the government has backed off on so far, and if Democrats were in charge they’d be going for a full court press in the other direction. It’s just that these are our birthright that they have no claim on.

Yes, I’m glad that the torturer is easing back on the thumbscrews. I want him to ease off more. But what the hell are we doing on the rack in the first place?

Supreme Court ‘Conservatives’ Throw Gun Owners Under the Bus, Again

On April 6, the Supreme Court demonstrated once again that the “landmark” Bruen decision isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, and neither are the paper tigers that President Trump appointed to the bench in his previous administration. [More]

The list just keeps growing.

As noted before:

Think of one job you’ve ever applied for where you’d have gotten it if you decided to play coy with the hiring managers. While it may be “inappropriate” for a judge to weigh in on a specific case before confirmation, there’s no reason why general principles of understanding should be off-limits.

Biden… Excuse Me, I Mean Trump Administration Coming After Pistol Braces… Again

He not only made numerous promises to Americans regarding the Second Amendment, but he also specifically referenced the pistol brace rule, going so far as to say he would tear it up immediately upon moving back into the White House. How then have we arrived at the current impasse? [More]

This is a brave article when you realize the epic fury of the MINOs (MAGA in Name Only) will be vented not at the serial breaker of campaign promises, but at the writer and the magazine. I say this as someone who has prompted more than one demand for a publisher to choose between firing me or having their subscription cancelled.

Here’s the thing before dismissing this as “blackpilling”: Find one charge made that’s not documented. Pointing out his betrayals is not a betrayal of him. To not point them out would be a betrayal of ourselves.

Those of us calling Trump and his administration to task have offered course correction after course correction to steer things right again, only to see him ignore us and order full ramming speed. And it could have all been avoided with some simple inclusion.

If the Dems take it all it won’t be because of Cassandras’ urgent warnings. It will be because those warnings were unheeded, suppressed, ignored, disparaged, denounced, and ridiculed.

Trump DOJ Stands Idly by as States Destroy the Second Amendment

Where is that plan of action that was due 30 days after the President’s Executive Order, Protecting Second Amendment Rights, dated February 7, 2025? Where is the DOJ on these grave violations of Americans’ gun rights? Why is the subversion of our Constitution so commonplace that lawmakers feel free to adopt infringements from countries that do not recognize a God-given right to defend life and liberty from tyranny?

Harmeet needs to up her game.

One Big Beautiful Befuddlement

The One Big Betrayal in the One Big Beautiful Bill [More]

Fireams News colleague Darwin Nercesian notes cowardice and weasel-wording instead of fidelity to principles and promises. The exchange with the Thune flack expecting praise shows how tone deaf these people are.

I wish this had come out before my latest AmmoLand piece was published– I’d have linked to it and tried to get it more eyeballs. Maybe you could help?

Speaking of the mag, the July 2025 issue, featuring two articles by yours truly, is now available at diverse and inclusive newsstands throughout the Republic:

It’s equitable, too, I didn’t forget that, but even more so if you subscribe.

President Trump Can Lead in Fight Against State-Level 2nd Amendment Infringements

“What are you going to do about it, President Trump?” [More]

First, we neeed to realistically look at what he CAN do. Then we need to realistically look at what he WILL do and use every means at our disposal to get his ear and try to keep him on course.
