I will never forget that early December day. With work and college obligations already addressed, I visited a small, out-of-the-way gun shop in Luray, Va., to celebrate my 18th birthday as only a rifleman knows how—the purchase of my first long gun. In this case, it was a flashy Remington Model …

David Chipman — the gun control lobbyist nominated by President Biden to direct the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives — is up for a committee vote this Thursday. While his nomination has been held over twice, anti-gun Senators are refusing to relent. So the committee vote on his …

Governor Edwards has two more days to sign Constitutional Carry Legislation, Senate Bill 118 into law.  Don’t let him prevent law-abiding Louisiana citizens from enjoying the same rights that 21 other states now recognize. Please contact your State Representative and ask them to urge Governor Edwards to SIGN Senate Bill 118 into …

On Friday, Governor Roy Cooper vetoed Senate Bill 43, the bipartisan-supported bill to expand the ability of citizens to defend themselves and their loved ones while attending religious worship. This is not surprising, given that he vetoed similar legislation last year. Like last year, Gov. Cooper has erroneously claimed that the bill will allow …

Biden’s nomination of former ATF agent and anti-gun activist David Chipman to head, the ATF sends a clear message. Joe Biden was sworn in as president of the United States on Jan. 20, 2021.
