May 29, 2022 – In what’s been a terrible period the last few weeks, several active shooter events occurred, resulting in the taking of innocent lives. The anti-gun and anti-civil liberty camp is disgustingly dancing in the blood of those we mourn the loss of. These political hacks that move in to “strike while...

May 28, 2022 – To say I disagree with the tactics of and ways that our current Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) would be an understatement. The ATF is leaving the colloquial expressions of events, and entering a more official rendering of being an agency aiming to subvert rights and murder...

May 27, 2022 – Big tech has been enjoying protections under section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and to be perfectly honest, they’ve been abusing those protections. The First Amendment online, is so closely tied to the Second Amendment, in that most Second Amendment related expressions or communications are constantly vulnerable to censor...

May 27, 2022 – A recent plea stemming from a 2020 act of arson helps make the case that evil will exist without the presence of a firearm. On February 24, 2020, it was alleged that Kalvinn Garcia, 25, of Sedro Woolley, Washington, engaged in a hate crime, when he lit the contents of...

May 27, 2022 – About a month ago Representative Ritchie Torres (NY-15) introduced a bill regulating so-called “ghost guns.” The regulation’s not a straight up prohibition, but rather sets a permissive atmosphere in the way of suing manufacturers and distributors of the parts and components that make up a “ghost gun.” The dangers of...

May 26, 2022 – My friends and colleagues over at Gun Owners Radio and San Diego County Gun Owners (SDCGO) have been doing tremendous work in removing infringements on the Second Amendment over there on the left coast. They went from a Peruta San Diego, where carry permits were hardly issued to anyone and...

May 26, 2022 – Starting back in February, the DC Project rolled out a series of videos about some of their members, setting the record straight, why firearm education and advocacy is so important, and the value of not coming up with legislative knee-jerk reactions. They took us on a journey that I chronicled...

May 24, 2022 – It seems as if the collective progressive anti-civil rights hive mind gets all the same messages immediately via telex, like something out of John Wick. I can hear the news wires ticking away in the dungeons of liberty-hating headquarters, where the likes of NJ politicians/political appointees, Biden-Harris troupe members, and...

May 23, 2022 – The Department of Justice (DOJ) was formed in 1870, something parroted by Attorney General Merrick Garland in recent remarks, and was assembled to protect civil liberties. The quick history has to do with Reconstruction era America and the need for seeing prosecutions over the usurpation of peoples’ rights under the...

May 22, 2022 – I often get very defensive over stock photos. Different publishing companies have different access to images that they pay for the rights to use, and it is what it is. Bearing Arms is no different. Sometimes I’m not in love with the images we’re beholden to use, but that’s life....

May 22, 2022 – Back in 2015 I remember reading a Forbes article that’s worth bringing up; “Should Guns Be Regulated Like Cars?” While this may seem like dated material, recent reporting from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) notes that there were approximately 42,915 motor vehicle fatalities in 2021, and I promise...

May 21, 2022 – Boy did we dodge a bullet when it comes to the Supreme Court of the United States. Although we all need to be braced for impact, as the tides can change quickly, the mortality of man is not endless. We can at least celebrate the fact that current Attorney General...

May 21, 2022 – The Kids S.A.F.E. Foundation (KSF) is one of those organizations that I love to follow. They’re doing such great work with getting out and about into the communities, and teaching much needed firearm safety to youths. The continued success of KSF has found them celebrating their 5th anniversary last year,...

Apr 29, 2023 – The irony of Massachusetts is that there’s extreme dichotomy in its history. On one hand, the people of the Bay State have a sordid history of hanging people that are different from the rest of the folks, branding them as witches. On the other hand, the shot that was heard...

Apr 28, 2023 – Chicago really is an easy mark. Just add up all of what they bring to the table; high crime, onerous laws, and a strong history of anti-civil rights policies and politicians. The latest news from the police blotter - which is active nearly all day every day - that’s worth...

Apr 27, 2023 – Illinois has been going above and beyond as of late to make Second Amendment related news. The National Association for Gun Rights filed a lawsuit last year challenging the city of Naperville’s so-called “assault weapons” ban. That case, Bevis et al v. City of Naperville was amended earlier this year...

Apr 26, 2023 – Cam reported on the newly enacted gun restrictions in Washington State yesterday. Governor Jay Inslee signed several laws into effect, one of which prohibits the sale and transfer of so-called “assault weapons.” Cam also talked about the immediate filing of a lawsuit challenging the newly signed law. Minutes after the...

Apr 25, 2023 – Illinois is one of those naughty naughty states that ends up in the Second Amendment media crosshairs on the regular. We can’t really blame it on the state itself, but rather the fact they’re home of the crime ridden cesspool of Chicago. We can be sure the rest of the...

Apr 24, 2023 – And, as our own John Petrolino notes over at The Truth About Guns, that has landed them in court. … It's a pretty long piece, but John does a good job laying things out and you'll find it interesting, so I invite you to go and check … As John noted above, this probably wasn't unusual in 1791 and there definitely aren't any laws I'm aware of that would preclude what…

Apr 24, 2023 – The so-called gun control crowd can be hard to read. Do the peddlers of these discriminating policies and ideas actually believe that they’re going to make the U.S. safer? Are they straight up proponents of disarmament because they know the American gun owner is the last thing standing between complete...

Apr 23, 2023 – The big talk is that people are supposed to #dosomething whenever there’s some sort of a problem or conflict. The hashtag brigade is not something that’s completely owned by the progressive left, and they’re not the only ones who care to enact change in our communities and the lives of...

Apr 22, 2023 – Warmest Regards, John Petrolino After waiting five days, I decided to follow up, since I received no answer: Attention Office of … Warmest Regards, John Petrolino In that second email, I did send a message directly to Platkin’s email address via CC, in addition … Hi John, The Paterson Police Department has been regularly processing applications for firearms identification cards, pistol purchase…

Apr 21, 2023 – The Second Amendment is clear on its meaning. It’s doubtful that the number of infringements to the right to keep and bear arms get repealed to the point of saying “whoa, that’s too much freedom.” The right is impacted in many other ways, one of which would be the commerce...

Nov 6, 2022 – Oregon has a big decision to make. The pages of Bearing Arms have covered the ballot measure that citizens of the Beaver State will vote on this upcoming November 8th. Ballot Measure 114 will all but completely destroy the Second Amendment, and support versus opposition sits at a razor thin...

Nov 6, 2022 – The other week the NYS Jewish Gun Club approached a Federal court in Manhattan for a stay on New York’s draconian carry law. The NYS Jewish Gun Club is one of many that have lined up to challenge the unconstitutional provisions in New York's law, which were signed by unelected...
