The GUNS of August

The August 2015 issue of GUNS Magazine, including my Rights Watch column "Defying the Defilers" (pg. 66), is now on sale at newsstands throughout the Republic.

They also post the digital edition online.

Kindness of Strangers

Several of you have graciously contacted me and asked if there is anything you can do to help in this time of uncertainty following last week's forced interruption in my daily work. I appreciate those of you who have expressed support since then, more than I can adequately express. Most of us have never met and probably never will, so that makes it all the more gratifying to know some have been moved enough to reach out to me.

First, I'm not going to dwell on the falling-out. I've already said my piece. Anything further I say could be dismissed as sour grapes, and there are much more important and interesting things to talk about.

Sorry, and thank you to those who have asked, but I cannot accept donations. That goes to the core of who I am. If I cannot create a sufficient and sustainable market demand for my RKBA reporting and commentary, then it's time to focus on what I can offer.

So to those now asking if there is anything you can do, there's nothing really different I can ask of you now that I haven't been asking all along: If I put out something, and if you get value from it, spread the word and share the link. If I write an article you agree with and have gotten insights from, leave a comment, or let the editor know to keep 'em coming. If I have a media appearance you think may be interesting, tune in --  and tell others. If there are other media outlets -- including "establishment" ones, which is where it could really make a difference to move the discussion to, contact them and tell them so.

The type of stuff I crank out is not something I can do part-time. 12+ hour days have been the norm for me. I have to be either all in or all out in terms of being a daily internet presence. It could be I've had my run except for the monthly GUNS Magazine column and occasional gigs at The Shooter's Log.

It is what it is.

Coulter Warns Against 'Immigration' Threat to RKBA

Author, columnist and commentator Ann Coulter joined nationally-syndicated "Armed American Radio's Daily Defense" host Mark Walters yesterday to talk about her most recent best seller, "Adios, America!: The Left's Plan to Turn Our Country Into a Third World Hellhole."

In that interview, Coulter confirmed what very few of us who primarily emphasize gun rights have been consistently warning about -- that government "immigration" policies and practices present an existential threat to RKBA, or at least to "legal" recognition of it.  She also had some very enthusiastic things to say about Larry Pratt and Gun Owners of America, the only national "gun group" that has raised the alarm and mobilized its members on this.

Click here to listen to what may turn out to be a pivotal point in convincing the "other" groups to get on board now that a national figure with mass media reach has unequivocally weighed in.

And check back in to the program this afternoon at 4 Eastern when I'll be joining Mark to follow up on the interview.  Click here to listen live.
