As cities across the country reel from explosive crime rates, many politicians at the local, state, and federal levels are too preoccupied with disarming peaceable American gun owners to identify, arrest, and prosecute actual criminals adequately.   Two masked attackers met their match last month when they attacked Los Angeles resident Vince Ricci as he walked…

Intuit—a company best known for its QuickBooks financial management software for businesses—earlier this year announced a cessation of services for firearms dealers, along with manufacturers of firearms or firearms components. The latest attempt at woke corporate activity resulted in another embarrassing about-face, demonstrating left-wing social policies do not reflect American values and undermine the business…

Rioters with the "Stop Cop City" movement in Atlanta face domestic terrorism and racketeering charges for repeated attempts to stop the lawful construction of a police and firefighter training facility, including the use of Molotov cocktails to harm police officers and damage construction equipment. The newly revealed journal of Manuel Esteban Páez Terán, an agitator…

The tragic mass shooting last month in Lewiston, Maine, sent gun control activists into their typical attacks on the right to keep and bear arms. Many defaulted to their standard narrative that the real “bad guy” wasn’t the murderer, but the Second Amendment and its supporters. Instead of demanding accountability from the government officials who…

An Army Reservist and military firearms instructor with a history of serious mental health problems murdered 18 people and wounded 13 others Oct. 25 at a bowling alley and a bar in Lewiston, Maine. Robert Card, 40, led state and local law enforcement agencies on a multiday manhunt that left an entire county of terrified…

The House Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime last week held a hearing to explore the issue of the District of Columbia’s high crime rate, and what can be done to dramatically reduce it. As a former assistant U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, but also one who worked in several other district attorney’s offices around…

JPMorgan Chase admitted to pressuring the financial software company Intuit into preventing gun sellers from using the company's payment processing services, according to a letter Sen. Ted Cruz sent Monday after looking into the policy. Bank of America, meanwhile, denied pressuring Intuit into banning gun manufacturers from using its famous QuickBooks software. "Woke big banks…

As the nation continues to reel from historic violent crime spikes, many gun control activists turn reflexively to the same “bumper sticker slogan” policy “solutions” that fail to address real problems while often undermining the Second Amendment rights of peaceable citizens. Last week, some Hartford, Connecticut, residents made headlines for taking a different approach. Instead…

In a recent opinion piece in The Kansas City Star, sociology professor and military veteran Doug McGaw argues that the Second Amendment is “a relic of the 18th century” that needs to be repealed. Although McGaw certainly is entitled to his opinion, his “argument” boils down to little more than a litany of common gun…

Last month, California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled his proposal for a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which the Democrat says would “enshrine fundamental, broadly supported gun safety measures into law while leaving the Second Amendment unchanged.” Although the Second Amendment protects individual liberty by telling the government what it can’t do with respect to…

Last month, the University of Southern California’s Hollywood, Health & Society Program published “Trigger Warning: Gun Guidelines for Media,” a series of recommendations for the entertainment industry on how it should portray firearms. Although some of these guidelines offer helpful suggestions, particularly about how the media should deal with the topic of suicide, the publication…

Here’s a lightly edited transcript of what Mark Houck, a pro-life dad who was arrested last year at gunpoint and then later acquitted by a jury, told House lawmakers during a hearing Tuesday. The hearing, “Revisiting the Implications of the FACE Act,” was held by the House Judiciary subcommittee on the Constitution and limited government:…

Often lost in conversations about gun violence is the reality of who is responsible for the bulk of that violence. Most gun crimes aren’t committed by lawful gun owners but by a small subset of repeat violent offenders who already are prohibited from legally possessing firearms. At the same time, the vast majority of the nation’s…

The first question any reasonable person asks after a horrible crime is, “What could have been done to stop it?” Yet after every mass shooting, gun controllers suggest unworkable, unconstitutional, completely ineffectual ideas that target people who will never commit a crime. After the twin mass shootings in California earlier this month, Gov. Gavin Newsom…

The Biden administration’s newly released regulations regarding “pistol-stabilizing braces” will instantly turn tens of thousands of law-abiding Americans into felons and create a national rifle registry. But the Biden administration and the media exaggerate the costs and ignore the benefits these braces produce. Few seem to realize that stabilizing braces for pistols were originally designed to allow wounded and disabled veterans…

A conglomerate of gun control groups has filed a brief in federal court supporting the District of Columbia in a lawsuit challenging the city’s prohibition on civilian possession of magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds. This was not at all surprising. What was quite perplexing, however, was the gun control groups’ citation of…

We know about Black Lives Matter. My new video is about a group called Black Guns Matter. Maj Toure, a Philadelphia high school dropout-turned-activist, tells me he started it after he got tired of hearing people endless chanting, “Black lives matter,” but saying nothing “when it’s time for black people to defend their lives.” Toure…

The Left loves to talk about “disparate impact”—until it interferes with its narratives. A recently released study found that homicide rates for black men have shot back up to the extremely high levels of the early 1990s. If black lives truly matter, stemming the sudden explosion in violent crime where black men are primarily the…

We now know at least one of the priorities of the Biden administration during the remaining weeks Democrats control the House of Representatives. The president says he would try to “get rid of assault weapons.” Speaking to reporters at his Nantucket, Massachusetts, holiday house, President Joe Biden said: “The idea [that] we still allow semi-automatic…
