“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

The Denver-based 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has denied New Mexico’s petition for an en banc rehearing of the lawsuit challenging the “Land of Enchantment’s” seven-day waiting period for gun transfers. Consequently, an earlier ruling that invalidates the law will stand. The case Ortega v. Griffin targets a 2024 New Mexico law requiring individuals to wait seven days

On its face, the idea sounds bold and decisive: authorize the President to commission private citizens to pursue cartels and other foreign actors deemed responsible for acts of aggression against the United States. These commissioned individuals would be bonded, armed,

Last week, Senate Democrats reintroduced one of the most sweeping federal gun control proposals in years. U.S. Senators Cory Booker and Andy Kim brought back the Federal Firearm Licensing Act, a bill that would require Americans to obtain a federal firearm license before purchasing, receiving, or even possessing a firearm.   Supporters are calling it “commonsense.” Gun owners will

My post on December 15, the day after the Islamic massacre of Jews celebrating Chanukah at Bondi Beach in Australia, argued that Australia’s restrictive gun laws were a significant factor in the outcome of the attack. Disarmed citizens are defenseless citizens, and defenseless citizens are easy targets. That much should be obvious by now. But

Entirely foreseeable to many of us. The repeal was never going to go unchallenged. That’s why there was nothing to celebrate. It was never about the tax; it was always about the registration requirement. Gun owners and other freedom lovers cheered on the 4th of July when President Donald Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill

There is one deeply foolish quote by Morton Klein in this article: the idea that Islamic terrorism can be eliminated by reforming education in the Arab Islamic world because they “teach hatred and violence.” Hatred, violence, and the killing of Jews and all infidels are not an educational glitch. They are embedded in the religion
