Best Handgun Ammunition
Over the past few years our ammo editor, Richard Mann, has been compiling data yielded from shooting blocks of ordnance gelatin. We’re not sure why. Anyway, we found ourselves the beneficiaries of a vast amount of data we weren’t sure what to do with. I mean, what do you do …
Mil, MOA or inches?

Meddling Florida Doctors Lose, Gun Owners Win Again

Range Report: Smith & Wesson M&P10 .308 Rifle
For some of us the watchword is ‘sometimes you need a .308.’ The .223/5.56mm platform is a wonderful close-quarters combat system and may be accurate at extended range. However, the punch needed for some chores just isn’t there. There are shooters that hunt medium game, use a rifle for defense, …

No Crime. No Trial. No Reason: The Precedent is Set for Gun Confiscation

Many have advocated some sort of gun law or change in legislation that would stop the mass shootings that have become common place in our country. They have said that there should be a way that the state could intervene in some of these cases. This intervention would be lifesaving …
Seattle Assaults Second Amendment With This New Tax!
The Liberals are literally going crazy. I kid you not. The latest example comes to us from Seattle, Washington where the good little socialists elected themselves a fascist mayor. Mayor Ed Murray (D-WA) was elected to the job in 2014 and has since taken it upon himself to strip Seattle’s …
New Ban Bill Hits Congress: Targets Semi-Automatic Rifles & Handguns: “To Ensure That The Right To Keep and Bear Arms Is NOT Unlimited”
