Available data suggest that violent crime in the U.S. has not increased after the Bruen decision and, in fact, has continued to trend downward in the years following the ruling, countering the predictions of many gun‑control advocates who forecast a spike in violence after the expansion of carry rights. Anti-gun advocates have long held that

The Supreme Court’s duty is to uphold the Constitution, and if it ruled in a way that infringed the Second Amendment’s clear guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms, it would exceed its authority and risk undermining its own legitimacy. The Supreme Court will soon consider whether to take up dozens of Second

I would change the title to “Poles Learned a Lesson From Their Own Playbook”. My parents were Holocaust survivors from Poland. The Poles disarmed Jews and enabled their mass extermination of virtually the entire Jewish population of Poland. Poland’s firearms training today reflects a bitter lesson learned from its own actions: disarming a population has

Before this turns into an argument about Israeli gun laws—read carefully. Yes, Israel has restrictive firearms policies. I don’t like them either. But turning this article into a lecture about what Israel should do according to American standards misses the point entirely. Israel is not America. Different constitution. Different legal culture.

Every repetition, dry or live, is either building good habits or reinforcing bad ones. That applies not only to technique, but to the stimuli we expose ourselves to, including the anatomical realism (or lack thereof) of the targets we train on. The scoring zones on many traditional qualification targets are often misplaced anatomically: mapped to

The phrase “shall not be infringed” has a way of revealing who actually believes it — and who only supports it when it is politically convenient. That tension is now on full display inside the Trump Administration itself. While the Department of Justice has aggressively challenged gun control laws in blue states and territories, it

“In total, then, factoring in the price difference of a California-compliant version of a typical gun, the background check fee, the excise tax, and the price of the Firearms Safety Certificate, a new gun owner will pay $252.58 more for their Walther PDP compact than they would in most other states thanks to California’s hostility

Why discretion, preparation, and voting are essential to preserving our rights Gun enthusiasts and supporters shaped by the history of the Holocaust do not define themselves by a specific country. We come from no single nation, but we carry a history that makes clear the consequences of an unarmed population. That history instills a sober

Attacks on gun rights are a direct assault on the fundamental truth that free people, not the government, are in charge of their own protection and liberty. In the ongoing debate surrounding gun ownership in the United States, one fundamental question persists: Why is it necessary to protect private arms possession? The answer to this question is
