I have three articles this time out:
Pick up a copy at a diverse and inclusive newsstand near you.

That and you can save a lot off the cover price by subscribing…
Although the board of the Canfield Fair were forced by law to allow carrying of firearms in open areas, they saturated “No Guns” signs on almost every building. [More]
Their motto is “Something to crow about!” What they’re crowing is, “In your faces, gun owners!”
Crime is down and the enemy is furious. What’s not to like? At the risk of infuriating MAGA loyalists, in a word, infringements. [More]
Which plan will you go with? Help the administration see where it’s going off the rails and needs a course correction, or kill the messenger?
These offensive “justifications” being argued by Florida Republicans sound like the kind of polemics to be expected from rabid Moms Demand Action zealots and ranting Democrat demagogues. That they would be made in an administration where Gov. Ron DeSantis is widely touted as being “pro-gun” and where Florida State Attorney General James Uthmeier recently refused to defend the under-21 long gun ban enacted after the Parkland shootings, goes beyond cognitive dissonance. [More]
With Republicans like these, who needs Democrats?
President Trump promised to allow weapons carry (and later CCW) by military personnel on bases way back in 2015 [More]
If not now, when? Why not ask him?
That Ryan apparently believes he had a sincere dialog suggests he also believes that Newsom was giving him return respect instead of just using him. [More]
Take on the role of useful idiot and what are people supposed to think?
My print articles are available by subscription or at diverse and inclusive newsstands near you:
The March 2025 issue of Firearms News, featuring my assessment of permanent ATF Director speculations and expectations, is now available at freedom-minded newsstands throughout the Republic.
If you don’t see it, ask the manager “Why not?”. Or you could just save and subscribe.
The new guy needs to understand all this and have the AG and the president‘s ear to make sure they do, and to restrain their past-demonstrated impulses to ignore the words “shall not be infringed.” [More]
My latest Firearms News article assesses the best we can make out of a no-win scenario.
JUST IN: Woke Gun-Grabbing ‘Tyrant’ Chad Chronister, Who Also Arrested a Pastor During COVID, Withdraws As Trump’s DEA Pick Following Conservative Backlash [More]
I was going to write another Firearms News article along similar lines and now don’t have to. The thing is, I don’t do it because I want to alienate MAGA über alles hardliners, and no, of course I wouldn’t rather have Kamala (what a stupid and obnoxious objection), but because stuff needs to be said and too many with louder voices than mine on “our side” are quick to make happy talk excuses.
Yet another reason why Gun Owners for Trump needs to be more than just an election prop and actually have his ear as an advisory group before he commits to more stupid $h!+…

Social Media Censorship Is Bringing Print Back – Firearms News’ Facebook Page Getting Deleted Is Part of the Reason Why. [More]
Rep. Thomas Massie made the news recently when he introduced HR9534, the National Constitutional Carry Act, correctly noting “No one should have to beg the government to exercise a constitutionally protected right anywhere in the country.” [More]
I asked him direct questions and true to form (and unlike most), he answered directly. President Trump really needs to look at why Massie takes the positions he does and realize that’s what it will take to Make America Great Again.

Herschel comments on a recent Firearms News piece.
Disarming fair patrons is longstanding and throughout the Republic. [More]
Do you know the rules in your state, and when fair promoters are playing fast and loose with them?
Also unexplored is what Walz told NRA to get their endorsement. People with sincere, core knowledge-based freedom principles don’t abandon them in favor of emotion-based demands for coercive prohibitions against allies they’d pledged allegiance to. A release of his questionnaire would be instrumental in showing just how much the guy is willing to lie for political power. [More]
It’s not the first time Walz campaigned in a camo hat. Any Fudd kapo dumb enough to vote for this fraud deserves to have his guns taken away.

Gun Politics – Gun owners’ efforts with Trump must not end with White House win. By David Codrea [More]
The August 2024 issue is now available at unwoke newsstands thorughout the Republic.
I don’t do this to subvert election chances or to get people mad at me. I do it because by viewing politicians with realistic expectations, gun owners will be in a better position to understand where, when and how they may disappoint us once we help them win power, and to insist the “gun rights leaders” endorsing them do everything they can to make sure it’s understood our rights are non-negotiable. [More]
I’m voting for Donald Trump and JD Vance. I want you to vote for Donald Trump and JD Vance. I just think we’ll all be better positioned for whatever happens after they win if we don’t vote for them blindly.
