Sep 6, 2022 – The mere thought that a member of the executive branch of a government in the United States would think it’s okay to announce that they’re willing to go door-to-door on a hunt before they "allow" someone to exercise a civil right is ridiculous. Whenever I hear anyone talk about going...

Sep 5, 2022 – The ATF, along with their cousins, the multitude of other three letter agencies, have not been making friends lately. Under the Biden-Harris regime, the ATF has embraced the rogue moniker they’ve received, and are a stunning example of the complete breakdown of our checks and balances. The ATF fancies themselves...

Sep 5, 2022 – Back in April I reported on a case out of Pennsylvania. The case, Firearm Owners Against Crime – Institute for Legal, Legislative and Educational Action, et al. v. PSP Commissioner Evanchick, involved the substantial delays that residents of the Keystone State had to suffer through concerning firearms related background checks....

Sep 4, 2022 – When Ohio recently enacted a law “making it easier” for teachers and school administrators to carry firearms in schools, some went pretty apoplectic over the measure. The way things used to be structured, teachers would have to undergo 700 hours of training, with the new law lowering that to 24...

Sep 4, 2022 – The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has been doing some serious heavy lifting for gun owners and freedom lovers for decades. Founded in 1974 and has hosted 37 annual conferences, known as the Gun Rights Policy Conference (GRPC), in order to disseminate information and bring patriots together. Since the pandemic that...

Sep 2, 2022 – The relationship between IRS agents and them being armed goes way back. Keeping in the back of our minds that the IRS was responsible for upholding prohibition, it was those agents tasked with taking down all the gangsters. We all know that prohibition of any kind does not generally work,...

Aug 31, 2022 – One of our favorite three letter agencies is at it again. A recent report by attorney Dillon Harris of the Prince Law Offices noted that the ATF has been sending out new nasty grams to alleged customers that may have purchased Forced Reset Triggers and or so-called solvent traps. It’s...

Aug 31, 2022 – The New Jersey social media rooms and groups have been buzzing about who’s submitting their paperwork for their permits to carry, who’s getting success, and who seems to be getting stonewalled. We knew going into this that a victory in NYSRPA v. Bruen was not the end of all the...

Aug 29, 2022 – There are not too many safe havens in New Jersey to get news. There are some conservative pundits I follow and pretty much one radio station I’ll tune into. NJ 101.5 is "conservative" for NJ’s standards, with some personalities weaving through some left of center ideas. From a liberty perspective,...

Sep 17, 2022 – On the 17th of May 1954 through Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court of the United States handed down an opinion which found segregation in schools to be unconstitutional. From that opinion, it’s noted that we’re allowed equal protection of the laws, and segregation amounted to denial of...

Sep 16, 2022 – The confetti was hardly swept up from Justice Thomas’s 74th birthday extravaganza and another folk hero of Americana lore, Dick Heller, took a shot at dismembering more of the District of Columbia’s hydra-like laws. On June 30th Dick Heller filed another Heller v. DC suit, with having his sights set...

Sep 14, 2022 – The story about Los Angeles mayoral candidate Congresswoman Karen Bass has been covered here at Bearing Arms already by my colleague Tom, but a revisit is fairly justified given the ripeness of this topic. Judge Jeanine and the Five on Fox discussed the situation recently and concluded something that many...

Sep 13, 2022 – Spartacus is at it again. Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey couldn’t sit idle for too long without bringing forward some sort of an anti-gun proposal. In his free time, when he’s not embarrassing Garden Staters with his antics in Congress, or allegedly slipping out of the back door of...

Sep 12, 2022 – In what should be a semi open and shut case, the matter of New Jersey’s 10 round magazine capacity limitation case has been remanded further down. The Grant, Vacate, Remand from the Supreme Court of the United States on Association New Jersey Rifle, et al v. Attorney General New Jersey,...

Sep 11, 2022 – Between the new rule change and states that have taken on the topic of so-called ghost guns, liberty is being limited. States like California and New Jersey have virtual bans on people’s ability to home manufacture firearms. The tradition of being able to build one’s own firearm dates back to...

Sep 8, 2022 – The DC Project (DCP) is turning out to be one of the most effectual and quickest growing Second Amendment advocacy groups in the United States. What started out as a group to have one representative from each state available to engage with our members of Congress in the District, has...

Sep 22, 2022 – There are few absolutes in the world, but one that many can agree on is that human beings have the capacity to be brutal animals. This fact branded within the collective ken of most mankind is one of the very reasons why many would be drawn to these pages. Had...

Sep 21, 2022 – The hard hitting litigation and journalism team of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) has been going to the mattresses in defense of American’s civil liberties for decades. With colleague Lee “The Gun Writer” Williams at the helm of the SAF Investigative Journalism Project (IJP), many things are being discovered as...

Sep 20, 2022 – The case formerly known as Todd Yukutake, et al v. Clare Connors, et al, was a victory for residents of the Aloha State when a favorable decision for Yukautake et.al. was delivered August of 2021 from the United States District Court For the District of Hawaii. We’ve been following the...

Sep 18, 2022 – The readers of Bearing Arms are no stranger to the fact that our Department of Justice (DOJ), as well as many of the three lettered agencies that fall under the supervision thereof, has become a machine to crush political opposition and push a radical progressive agenda. Just by trending what...

Oct 6, 2022 – I’ve been following the New Jersey gun rights preservation movement for quite a long time. My first article on the Second Amendment was related to New Jersey in 2015 over at AmmoLand, and my first article here at Bearing Arms was also on the Garden State. That first article of...

Oct 4, 2022 – it was an incredible event with a lot of fantastic speakers, and special congratulations are in order to Bearing Arms contributor John … Petrolino, who was named the 2022 Gunblogger of the Year.…

Oct 12, 2022 – Back in August, the Rutgers NJ Gun Violence Research Center released their “2022 Report on Firearms in New Jersey”. The twelve page document was not overly complicated or inflated with pseudo intellectual gobbly gook. The focus of the report were the answers delivered by the thousand plus participants who responded...

Oct 27, 2022 – There have been two cases, probably more, but two that I’ve followed over the last few years, that deal with Pennsylvania towns restricting people’s abilities to have shooting ranges on their property. There was a Second Amendment Foundation funded case, Drummond v. Robinson Township, which was settled in 2021 in...
