Maryland gun owners once again have a large-scale fight on their hands with the Speaker of the House’s new gun ban legislation, House Bill 1261.  We remember the relentless battle against Senate Bill 281 in 2013, and now anti-gun legislators are trying to take your guns again!   The Speaker is …

At the end of 2019, American Rifleman editors and contributors got together and discussed the guns, ammunition, optics and gear that emerged from the marketplace over the past year. From these conversations emerge the Golden Bullseye award winners for 2020, and such has it gone since the first Golden Bullseye …

New for 2020, Rock River Arms is introducing a new addition to its line of semi-automatic, AR-style pistols chambered in 9 mm Luger: the BT92152. The new addition, like the rest of the BT-9 series, is designed to accept Glock-style magazines, allowing those who already have Glock pistols to have …

The latest “Assault Weapons” scam from Gov. Northam and Delegate Levine does nothing to change GOA’s firm opposition to HB 961. Gun confiscation is still the goal. The House “substitute” to be considered by the House of Delegates today and tomorrow allows ownership of specific firearms prior to July 1, …

Earlier this month, Michael Bloomberg added to the quarter billion dollar tally he has spent pursuing the Democrat presidential nomination with an $11 million ad that aired during the Super Bowl.

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.
