Chris Cox and Wayne LaPierre agree with the gun-grabbers: “Despite the fact that the Obama administration approved the sale of bump fire stocks on at least two occasions, the National Rifle Association is calling on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to immediately review whether these devices comply with federal law.  The NRA

The NRA has just announced its support for additional regulations to be enacted for bump fire stocks. The full statement is available below: In the aftermath of the evil and senseless attack in Las Vegas, the American people are looking for answers as to how future tragedies can be prevented. Unfortunately, the first response from some politicians

Following the unfathomably tragic events in Las Vegas, many on the left are demanding that Congress pass new restrictions on guns. Such calls make even less sense than usual, given what much of the left already believes about the current political environment: that a fascist occupies the White House. “Yes, Donald Trump is a fascist,” wrote The

Then, my colleagues and I at FiveThirtyEight spent three months

Documentary filmmaker and left-wing activist Michael Moore urged Congress to pass the 28th Amendment Wednesday, which would repeal and replace the Second Amendment. In a lengthy Facebook message, Moore said the new amendment would guarantee that “states can have State militias (a.k.a. State National Guards which are made up of citizen-soldiers who are called upon in times

Here’s a quick public service announcement. There’s a lot of pure garbage floating around television and the internet about the Hearing Protection Act. Strangely, those opposed believe that suppressors / silencers work just like in the movies. Imagine that. Here’s a quick reference to show how much noise suppressed guns really make. Source by Tom

The murder toll in Las Vegas on Sunday makes it the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Know what they call that in Chicago? June. Actually, there were 84 murders in Chicago, just in June, according to DNAinfo.com, which keeps a running tally. There were 76 murders in July, 50 in August. And there were
