All This Can Be Yours

Newsstand: West Virginia’s Machine Gun Litmus Test for States Claiming Second Amendment Allegiance, Ramaswamy’s Ohio Governor Bid and the 2A, Casey Putsch for Ohio Governor: The Real Deal When It Comes to Guns. These stories by Darwin Nercessian and David Codrea. [More]

I already posted my Shameless Plug.

In re the Casey Putsch story, the digital version has been online since April 3 and the physical mag hit the stands/was mailed to subscribers a few days before the primary.

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.

Gun-Grabbers Demand More Defenselessness After Brown University and Australian Shootings

Efforts in USA and Australia to disarm potential victims continue after decades of failure [More]

Gun prohibitionists here, there, and everywhere don’t care how many people get killed by their monomaniacal demands for a forcibly disarmed populace.

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. I like to hold books and magazines in my hands.

It’s the 80th Anniversary of a publication that began as Shotgun News.

My Gun Politics column, “What Does Massie Challenger Gallrein’s Promised 2nd Amendment Support Really Mean?” where the candidate personally responded to my questions, starts on page 16.

Ohio County Fair ‘No Guns’ Signs Are Unacceptable Insults to Armed Patrons

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!”

Trump’s DC Takeover Won’t Be a Success if Constitution is Ignored

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?

Florida’s GOP State Attorney Bakkedahl Cites Anti-2A Everytown to Defend Infringements

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?

ATF Director Under Trump Will Still Be Directing Unconstitutional Agency

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]
