Dec 21, 2022 – A couple of weeks ago I had the chance to be in-studio in upstate New York for a recording of Dan Wos’s The Loaded Mic podcast. Wos, a renowned writer, my colleague over at AmmoLand News, commentator, and author of the Good Gun Bad Guy book series, invited me to...

Dec 20, 2022 – I recently had a chance to check out a case that’s bound to make waves in New Jersey. The suit involves a story that’s near to a sitcom, except there’s nothing funny about how everything has fleshed out to date. New Jersey’s firearms laws are convoluted to put it lightly....

Dec 19, 2022 – California is marching to their very own unconstitutional beat, as they have for decades. Once the home of the Gipper, California has been drowned out by socialists seeking to control every element of peoples’ lives. The law that Newsom signed shifts the financial burden when challenging one of California’s unconstitutional...

Dec 18, 2022 – Something happened the other day that really irked me. An individual decided to try and stir up some controversy in the New Jersey Second Amendment community. As many of you know, I’m a Garden Stater and am very entrenched in everything 2A related in the land of 1000 diners. New...

Dec 18, 2022 – The bill that’s been coined the “carry killer” bill in New Jersey is rapidly approaching the Governor’s desk. On Monday December 19th a full Senate vote is scheduled on A4769 / S3214. The contentious and unconstitutional measure has seen some change since being introduced, but not nearly enough to meet...

Dec 17, 2022 – The matter of personal information being protected is supposed to be a no brainer. Afterall, a certain high profile case surfed on so-called right to privacy for decades to justify the Constitutionality of something that had very little to do with the Fourteenth Amendment. I digress, as that opinion was...

Jan 5, 2023 – The possession of firearms is a Constitutional right. Only half of the country actually respects that right by not requiring some sort of a permission slip for people to carry firearms. Whether or not Second Amendment supporters agree with permitting processes or not, is not up for debate, we do...

Jan 4, 2023 – New Jersey. It's been what, all of a day since one of us here at Bearing Arms mentioned the Garden State? One of the biggest news controllers in the state of New Jersey, NJ Advance Media, through the Star Ledger newspaper, sent out a rocket of garbage hidden behind a...

Jan 3, 2023 – Grass Roots North Carolina has been defending liberties and has been fighting for the rights of the citizens of the Old North State for years. They take a very active, and at times aggressive role in ensuring that people are informed, as well as seeing to it that bad actors...

Jan 3, 2023 – California law that was born from AB 2571 chills the First Amendment. The law makes it prohibited to “advertise” firearms and related items to children. Aside from this being a massive violation in speech liberties, it's regulating another constitutionally protected right. A legal challenge sprung up targeting the unconstitutional law,...

Jan 1, 2023 – Barbara Walters passed away on December 30, 2022 at the age of 93. To many, Waters was absolutely a household name, and there’s no denying that she’s made an impact on the world. Personally I was exposed to Walters when I’d watch episodes of 20/20 as a kid. Yeah, as...

Dec 31, 2022 – The New York SAFE Act was a hastily, in the midst of the night, passed and signed piece of unconstitutional legislation. New Yorkers have been living under the yoke of the measures of the SAFE Act and there’s been all kinds of repercussions. On December 30th, the Second Amendment Foundation...

Dec 30, 2022 – Earlier this year back in January, I reported about Jason, the content creator behind the Texas Gun Vault. Jason and his channel were demonetized at the start of the year with little warning or chance to speak to his appeal being denied. Earlier this week I had touched base with...

Dec 29, 2022 – The pages of Bearing Arms are no stranger to Hawaii. We’ve all covered extensively the number of issues with civil liberties coming from the Aloha State. Embroiled in battles over stun guns and tasers, permitting abuses, and of course the still pending Young case dealing with open carry, Hawaii is...

Dec 28, 2022 – Yesterday I gave a rundown on one of the challenges to New Jersey’s new “carry killer” law. The Association of New Jersey Rifle and Pistol Clubs (ANJRPC) managed to be the first in filing a suit, but practically seconds later another lawsuit was also filed. Koons et al v. Reynolds...

Dec 27, 2022 – On December 22, 2022, surrounded by commie mommies and other suck-up gun grabbers, Governor Phil Murphy signed what’s been colloquially known as the “carry killer” bill. Cam reported on that news last week, and I offered up information about the path forward for pending carry applications. Cam also reported there...

Jan 10, 2023 – Just because an entertainer sings a song about a truck, their dog, and a woman leaving them, does not make them a country singer. Country and pop-country music today is very different from the more tar-heely sounds of the folk music of the Guthries, soulfulness of Johnny Cash, and even...

Jan 9, 2023 – In the process of doing some research for another project, I stumbled into an invitation for a fundraising dinner. Normally another fundraiser is just commonplace, especially in the Second Amendment world where true grassroots activism is alive and well. Every so often though, something will attract a little extra attention...

Jan 9, 2023 – Back in October of 2022 Florida Governor Ron DeSantis pulled one of the ultimate troll moves levied against the pinnacle of liberal elitists in the United States. DeSantis had illegal immigrants flown to Martha’s Vineyard Massachusetts, home of one of Barack Obama’s estates, and apparently a land that’ll obviously be...

Jan 7, 2023 – Olympian Gabby Franco and I chatted almost a full year ago, back at the end of January of 2022. It was great to play catch up with the Olympian turned advocate, and competitive shooter. Franco was also a Top Shot competitor and is highly active with the DC Project. Last...

Jan 6, 2023 – Chicago’s Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot recently addressed citizens of the Windy City and called for the celebration of alleged prosperity under her leadership. Lightfoot’s remarks came a day before New Years Eve and are, in my opinion, rather lacking. Mayor Lori E. Lightfoot and her administration are highlighting some key accomplishments...

Jan 17, 2023 – The world of academia has largely ignored specific areas of study involving firearms. There’s hardly a place prospective students can turn to to study the Second Amendment, firearms, and related topics outside the realm of politics. Lawyers I’ve talked to have noted that when they attended law school, there was...

Jan 12, 2023 – We're dealing with a revolving-door justice system in the United States. Progressive jurisdictions just bounce perpetrators and predators back and forth from the back of police cars to holding cells and, all too often, back onto the street. A bill just introduced in the House of Representatives aims to require...

Jan 27, 2023 – The dust is hardly settled from the 2023 SHOT Show in Las Vegas, with me being home a full week already, and it's time to get back to work! Content creators have been pumping out material during the show and will be leaning on talking about the newest of the...

Sep 25, 2024 – The people of Massachusetts have been dealing with their own special brew of Bruen response law. The legislators in the Bay State took nearly two years to fashion what would be a measure to enhance public safety, but the bill does little but punish the law-abiding gun owners. In response...
