The New Alchemy

In 1994, public pressure led the Clinton administration to designate the Striker-12 along with the Cobray Streetsweeper and USAS-12 shotguns as Destructive Devices under the 1934 National Firearms Act. [More]

Another Avenue of Attack

Chuck Schumer Wants IRS To Investigate NRA, Consider Stripping Tax-Exempt Status [More]
Of course he does. He wants more than that, and he'll use any weapon he can get his hands on.

Once is Happenstance, Twice is Coincidence

Joe Biden’s Gun-Control Plan Is a Constitutional Disaster [More]

Are You Sleeping, Bourgeoisie?

"I really think it's important that gun owners are prepared," said Lesley Hollywood with Rally For Our Rights, the organizer of today's event. "Gun owners are confused about it, they are concerned about it, they don't know what to expect, they don't understand a lot of the pieces about it." [More]

Why do they "caution" against breaking it down by Democrat-controlled areas?

Status Symbols

It’s all beyond parody, but the most astonishing entries in the ADL’s kooky cookbook of code symbols are anti-antifa emblems. [More]
Look for the hammer and sickle to receive protected status. And for the penalties to get ultimate.

Consider the source.
