At the NRA-ILA Leadership forum last year President Trump sent the international anti-firearm community into hysterics by announcing his intent to withdraw the United States from their crowning jewel, the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT).  Having never secured membership from China or Russia, the thought of many was that in losing …

Further revealing that their operative motive is political prejudice rather than public safety, the Michael Bloomberg-bought Virginia House of Delegates has escalated their direct attacks on law-abiding gun owners and your NRA. Astute readers will remember that earlier this year Delegate Dan Helmer (D-40) introduced HB 567, a bill calculated …

JEREMY HOLMES DIED JULY 1, 2017, IN A CONFRONTATION THAT INVESTIGATORS DESCRIBED AS A “SUICIDE BY COP.” Now his mother wants to use Colorado’s new Red Flag confiscation law to take the officer’s guns. Keep in mind that the police are not always completely honest, but this seems like a …

Ruger’s PC Carbine is just one of the many options available for those who choose the PCC lifestyle. Accepting Glock magazines and with a variety of options for attaching accessories, the PC Carbine makes a lot of sense for defense.

Most gun guys give credit to Gene Stoner for the AR-15 rifle, but students of gun history know that Stoner developed the larger, .308 Win.-based AR-10 long before anyone had ever heard of an AR-15 (read the story of the AR-10 here). What a lot of people don’t know is …

Join Ruger’s Matt Wilson for a rundown on the company’s 57 pistol, new for SHOT Show 2020. Firing a 5.7X20 mm cartridge, the pistol features a five-inch barrel, a fiber-optic green front sight, and is drilled and taped for a red-dot. While non-traditional, this cartridge would work great for varmint …

Shannon Watts repeatedly posts on Twitter that NRA members and Second Amendment advocates are mostly white, male and middle-aged.
