Mar 30, 2022 – Last week the Connecticut Citizens Defense League (CCDL) raised the alarm about a public hearing that was scheduled to discuss legislation related to the Second Amendment. The hearing, which occurred on Monday, March 28th via a Zoom session, included discussion on two bills. CCDL brought up some issues concerning these...

Mar 30, 2022 – On Tuesday March 29th, Governor Ron DeSantis announced that a special session is being called to open in April from the 19th to 22nd. The statement came when DeSantis vetoed a bill involving redistricting of the congressional map. While it’s not confirmed, DeSantis hinted at permitless carry being potentially added...

Mar 29, 2022 – Yesterday I reported on a bill that was introduced to force the ATF to stop using the electronic database illegally housing gun owners’ information. There’s another similar bill introduced earlier this month which is worth bringing up. H.R.6945 - No Retaining Every Gun In a System That Restricts Your Rights...

Mar 28, 2022 – As gun owners and Second Amendment advocates, we’ve suffered through some extreme unprecedented infringements of our rights inflicted upon us by the US Government (and more are on the way). While there has been very little ground surrendered to the anti-freedom caucus legislatively from the halls of Congress recently, we’ve...

Mar 28, 2022 – Everyone loves the FBI Uniform Crime Reporting statistics. When they roll out every year we all jump on them and start postulating about crime proliferation throughout the country. A recent report was released by SafeWise, an online safety consulting website, and there were some interesting things brought up. The report,...

Mar 27, 2022 – Recently a student of mine and reader of Bearing Arms reached out and asked me a question about permitless carry. With more and more states joining the ranks of those that don’t require any papers in order to exercise a constitutional right, the terms “permitless” and “Constitutional” get tossed around...

Mar 25, 2022 – According to one Pennsylvania attorney who specializes in Second Amendment law, it appears so, and now a major 2A organization is calling for an investigation into both the news network and Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro. Investigative journalist John Crump, a colleague of mine over at AmmoLand News broke a story...

Mar 25, 2022 – 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...

Mar 24, 2022 – My colleague John Petrolino took a look at this new poll earlier today, but we're going in for a deeper dive on today's Bearing…

Mar 24, 2022 – 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...

Mar 24, 2022 – 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...

Mar 22, 2022 – 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...

Apr 9, 2022 – 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,...

Apr 8, 2022 – 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...

Apr 8, 2022 – Not too long ago citizens from the Buckeye State were celebrating the passage of a permitless carry bill and it subsequently got signed into law. Ohio has another Second Amendment-related bill that's worth paying attention to, but this one concerns knives. The Knife Law Preemption bill, SB 156 is making...

Apr 7, 2022 – If we dig deep in our memory banks to a time prior to the virus which shall not be named, we’ll recall a movement that was sweeping many counties and towns, in many states across the country. Conceivably started in Virginia in response to extreme hostility towards the Second Amendment,...

Apr 5, 2022 – 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...

Apr 4, 2022 – 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...

Apr 2, 2022 – 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...

Apr 17, 2022 – The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is one of the premier gun rights organizations in the United States. Along with several other on the national level, the SAF is a stop-gap between American Citizens and their rights being stripped away. Without financial support, organizations like the SAF would cease to exist,...

Apr 17, 2022 – Back in July of 2020 I covered a story dealing with a police involved shooting. The event revolved around a person allegedly having some sort of a mental health episode and there were acts of self-harm involved. What made the situation turn deadly was that Timothy O'Shea, the person having...

Apr 16, 2022 – 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...

Apr 15, 2022 – 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...

Apr 13, 2022 – Almost a month ago residents of the Buckeye State celebrated the passage and signing of permitless carry into law.
