– The ATF launched a new administrative attack on the Second Amendment Thursday afternoon, this time going after certain triggers. Just under an hour after getting an open letter via email, an FFL tipster sent to me the notice they received. What’s that all about? It is or was, not really...

https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/03/24/second-amendment-lauded-in-recent-poll-n56733
– A new poll conducted by McLaughlin & Associates brings up some very interesting bits of data. It should come as no surprise that the poll found a 56.8% disapproval rating for sleepy Joe’s job performance. Not that we’re shocked by this proverbially does not meet expectations statistic. Joining Biden in...

– New Jersey, aka República de Nueva Jersey, a place where fist pumping is witnessed at the shore and goose stepping in the halls of Trenton. With NYSRPA v. Bruen looming in the background, we still have a handful of states that are going into respecting the Second Amendment kicking and...

– With regularity we’re greeted with stories involving the TSA and some sort of infraction of the law concerning prohibited items, especially with those items in carry-on’s. I’ve covered before how the TSA equates firearms to violence, as well as their hubris attitudes towards those that make simple mistakes. One rare...
LA Times' love letter to Nazi style tactics
https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/09/la-times-n57241
– It does not take a long time for the Los Angeles Times to (LAT) pop up with some anti-civil rights drivel. The paper historically embraces everything the anti-freedom caucus stands for. A recent article had peaked my attention with me thinking that maybe they're going to be onto something. Truth be told,...
TSA using commonsense in Little Rhody?
https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/08/tsa-using-commonsense-n57225
– The Transportation Security Administration is not known for being a huggable and fluffy origination.  The pages of Bearing Arms are loaded with stories dealing with the agency and how they handle, or in my opinion, oftentimes mishandle situations. A recent report discussed a situation where a woman allegedly had an...

https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/05/new-lawsuit-in-hawaii-targets-mental-health-disqualifiers-n57104
– New Jersey, California, and Hawaii tend to be the three worst states that constantly pop up in the pages of Bearing Arms. All the ink in the world will never be able to completely cover the infringements to freedom in these states. Many look forward to a day when such...

https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/04/real-commonsense-bill-introduced-to-protect-2a-n57065
– The anti-freedom caucus loves to toss around the phrase commonsense as if the more they say it, the more we’ll be conditioned to agree with them. When it comes to commonsense, the most reasonable proposals involve the lifting of restrictions on the law abiding and will more closely align statute...

– It’s not too far from hyperbole to say that New Jersey, aka República de Nueva Jersey, is under near totalitarian control. All three branches of government in the Garden State have conspired, and continued to conspire against the citizens of the pork roll paradise to RICO proportions,  that we can’t...

– Ghost guns are everywhere! The latest assaults on the civil liberties have yet to fully manifest from the Biden-Harris administration, but we know that the matter of homebuilt firearms are in the crosshairs of the anti-freedom caucus. Regardless to what the Feds have in store for us, people are dealing...
PA House Speaker looking into whether laws were broken for NBC's ghost gun story
https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/15/pa-house-speaker-looking-into-laws-broken-for-recent-news-story-n57462
– Any time the glib anti-freedom caucus gets a chance to hold up trophies in the way of menacing looking firearms, they will. Whether it's Sleepy Joe holding up a pistol frame on the lawn of the White House (what's the DC transfer laws?) or some other lawmaker holding up an...

https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/13/support-from-lawmakers-on-pistol-brace-protection-n57356
– The ATF has not exactly made any friends as of late. Their latest 300+ page new "rules" on firearm frames and receivers has yet to fully circulate, in the sense of knowing exactly what's in there. Regardless, the ATF and Biden-Harris administration has taken a stance of making their own...
The DC Project aims to set the record straight. Preaches truth narrative.
https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/12/the-dc-project-n57301
– About a month ago I reported on a DC Project (DCP) video that I found to be chilling. The video chronicled the role, or non-role, so-called “gun control” played in the lives of two ladies from the DCP. It’s come to my attention that the video is actually part of...
PA in crosshairs over firearm background check delays
https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/12/background-check-n57307
– I've always been fascinated by how we still have so-called "point of contact" states here in the US. The point of contact states have to do with when the NICS provisions of the Brady (aka Handgun Control Inc) Bill came into effect. States were able to maintain systems they may...

https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/11/books-guns-kids-n57257
– The subject of children and firearms is one that's important. While there's no one size fits all solution to how gun owners should store their firearms, there are just as many tactics and ways that parents may or may not want to expose their children to firearms. The willfully ignorant...

https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2022/04/11/nssf-atf-paperwork-n57252
– The ATF has been doing a great job staying in the spotlight lately. The Biden-Harris administration has vowed to crack down on so-called "rogue dealers", thus continuing the weaponization of the bureau.

https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2023/06/19/whats-the…o-now-new-report-on-criminal-justice-raises-questions-n71620
– I’m not a tinfoil hat kinda guy. However, I do keep a roll of aluminum foil handy just in case of emergencies. To be blunt, whenever I cover something involving the United Nations, I get the willies. And why not? There’s so much they wear on their sleeve that to...
New Jersey AG directs police departments hand over "anonymized" data on carry applications
https://bearingarms.com/john-petrolino/2023/06/17/new-jersey…ments-hand-over-anonymized-data-on-carry-applications-n71611
– New Jersey is just dominating the pages of Bearing Arms this last week. One thing we can all agree on is that the Garden State’s public masters have still not come to terms with the NYSRPA v. Bruen decision. This is of course not exclusive to the Land of 1000...

– To say that the United States is at an interesting time in history would be an understatement. Some might say we’re ending an 80 year trend towards the “we” generation, peaking in 2023, and heading back towards a “me” generation. The concept of rugged individualism and libertarian ideals are still...
