Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, now the vice-presidential running mate for Kamala Harris, has undergone a dramatic transformation from being a staunch supporter of gun rights to one of the most prominent advocates for gun control in America.

Rachel Weiner over at the Washington Post treats the ever-shrinking readership to over 2,000 words of demagoguery and deceit when it comes to her analysis of the Bruen decision. That’s right, she tells readers how the Supreme Court didn’t really mean what it wrote in Bruen. “The Supreme Court said it has been misunderstood,” she … Read more
If you can’t change the facts, change the public’s perception of the facts. Anti-gun politicians whose constituents express concerns about crime and public safety respond with the narrative that it’s a gun problem rather than a problem of lawbreakers and criminals, a message that is amplified and reinforced by an accommodating mainstream media.

Montezuma County Sheriff Steve Nowlin (and many other older county residents I talked with) remembers bringing his gun to … Read more
We wrote back in August of 2021 about the slowly accumulating lawsuits against SIG SAUER. A small, but growing number of people — mostly police officers — were claiming that the P320 pistol was prone to what their attorneys called “un-commanded discharges.” ABC News had just aired a couple of reports on the lawsuits, interviewing … Read more
Last Wednesday, The Washington Post published an editorial entitled, “No one needs an AR-15 — or any gun tailor-made for mass shootings.” That piece followed an earlier series of articles about the AR-15 under the heading, “AMERICAN ICON: The gun that divides a nation.” Both efforts were meant to echo and amplify Joe Biden’s call to ban semiautomatic long … Read more
