Since the NYSRPA v. Bruen decision came down, there’s been a flurry of things to report on concerning the Second Amendment. So much so, a good drinking game would be any time an article about “gun stuff” is read, and you get to the word “Bruen”, you have to drink....

Trying to exist in a world that’s hostile towards firearms, firearm related topics, and the Second Amendment is challenging. It’s not that every person is “against” what I’ll label as “us”, with just around half of all American households having firearms in them, but as I noted recently to a...

It’s going to be difficult to separate worlds here, as I’m talking about attending a US LawShield seminar, but only because of my history with the program attorney for my jurisdiction. I assure you my bias is stowed, and really it was my opinion of the attorney that helped cement...

One thing that’s for sure, there’s a ton of content out there on the Second Amendment, guns, gun related things, accessories, and general “gunstuff”. Something that’s popular with several different creators is the ability to do live stream podcasting. This gives the creators an opportunity to interact with their audience...

Just neighboring New York, in New Jersey, the citizens are reaping the benefits of NYSRPA v. Bruen. The irony of course is that the order from the High Court was directed at New York and two of the three branches of government (so far) in the Empire State are thumbing...

The proper storage of firearms is important. The storage of firearms also happens to be a very personal topic. What's good for one person or family, may not be good for another. That being said, the securing of firearms in a locked container of one sort or another, such as...

Sadly, I wish I could say this is something from The Onion or Babylon Bee, but it's not. The article that's being referenced is entitled: "Aurukun Shire Council wants a ban on archery equipment due to 'weekly' violent incidents". The piece was published by ABC Far North Queensland, a news...

HR 127 was introduced earlier this year and has got to be one of the most egregious pieces of legislation introduced affecting the Second Amendment. This awful, draconian, and Unconstitutional bill has already received plenty of "press" from the pages of Bearing Arms. My colleague Tom Knighton has reported numerous...

Operation Chokepoint was an initiative pushed under the Obama administration in the early 2010's. Most of our readers should be up to speed on the concept. The Obama administration pushed financial institutes to take part in discriminatory practices against firearm related industries. In short, the idea was to "choke off"...

Gun shows are an intersection between the First Amendment and Second Amendment. They are a place where not only patrons can buy firearms, ammunition, and accessories, but also meet with like-minded people and exchange ideas. A gun show is a modern forum for Second Amendment advocates, or as described in...
