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...

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...

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...

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...

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. Cam recently covered the additional billion dollars "the big guy" is seeking to fund the agency, and Tom...

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 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...

Since Phil Murphy’s, D-N.J., 2018 move to Drumthwacket, he’s been wreaking havoc upon the civil liberties of the people he’s sworn to serve. Murphy has compounded existing fiduciary issues in the state, signed into law sweeping gun bans and restrictions, and seemed to get his jollies off while making people...

It’s the summertime and with that usually comes a few things; BBQs, pool parties, the heat, outdoor activities, and also an influx of crime. Did I mention the heat? Why there’s an influx of criminal activity in the summer months has been explored, and it very-well-may-be the heat, or perhaps...

Back in April I reported on the New York SAFE Act. victim Isaac Richey. Richey got fouled up by provisions in the Mental Hygiene Law (MHL) 9.46 in the Empire State. Essentially the state has - and continues to - turned non-qualifying events without due process, into firearm possession disqualifications....

Tennessee shouldn’t be in the limelight over freedom limiting proposals that are being tossed around. The Volunteer state became a permitless carry state in 2021, so one would figure that the politics within their state lines align with strong support of the Second Amendment. What’s this push from Governor Bill...

Home of two big cities full of different elements that appeal to the urban attracted persons, and boundless amounts of wilderness for outdoor activities. They have a town called Intercourse, so there’s that too. Amish...

While attending the 2023 National Rifle Association Great American Outdoors Show, I had an opportunity to meet up with some of the fine people of Powertac.

A portion of Pennsylvania code leaves licensed firearm dealers in the Commonwealth vulnerable to warrantless searches. The code forces dealers to sign a Pennsylvania State Police’s promulgation, which forces the licensees to agree to the surrender of Fourth Amendment rights. The problem, aside from the policy being patently unconstitutional, is...
