Nolte: A Drag Queen-Loving Military Can’t Defend You. Go Buy an ‘Assault’ Rifle
When the U.S. military starts sanctioning drag queen shows, it’s time to buy an “assault rifle,” or ten. Remember back in 2007 when Rick Santorum said, If we allow homosexuals to serve openly in the military, within 15 years this same military will be putting on drag shows? And then, do you remember how the […]
False Flag Narrative
We have demanded that congress hold the president accountable for his usurpation of his office, and refusal to abide by our founding document, the US Constitution. The president continues to act alone, and thumb his nose at congress when he is not given what he wants. He acts as if he is a child, throwing […]

Why Every American Should Own a Gun…And Know How to Use It
The issue seems to perfectly match the discordance of our times. As the media and political elites lecture us about “gun violence” and attempt to take our rights away, average Americans are buying guns and ammunition at a record pace. Some 40% of first-time buyers are women. What do average Americans know that the elites do […]

Congressman’s Impassioned Testimony Reveals the True Victims of Gun Control
Data show that every year, at least 200,000 women employ a firearm to defend themselves against sexual abuse. Gun control advocates often claim the moral high ground.

Columbia Journalism Review Abandons Neutrality – Adopts Gun-Control Advocacy
Columbia Journalism Review recently conducted a “summit” to finally resolve problems with news coverage of gun violence, seeking to end what it claims are distorted and misleading stories of this deadly subject. Every advocacy group in America, including Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership [JPFO], wants this to happen. Is gun-control advocacy a proper […]
Why I Need an AR-15
A man disarmed by his government is not a citizen—he’s a subject. I don’t need an AR-15 for hunting: It’s not even legal to take a deer with one in my state—the caliber is too small. I also don’t need an AR-15 for self-defense, though I’d want to have one if someone broke into my […]

Why Indiana’s ‘Red Flag’ Law Failed to Stop the FedEx Shooting
The failure of Indiana’s gun law to prevent the FedEx shooting reveals the inherent problems with red flag laws. Last week 19-year-old Brandon Hole did the unthinkable. He stormed into an Indianapolis FedEx facility with a Ruger AR-556 semi-automatic rifle and killed eight people. He then took his own life. CNN recently pointed out that Indiana is one of […]
Are Biden’s Guns ‘Smart’ or Under Control?
Whether you’re familiar with the administration’s plans or not, Joe Biden is one of the politicians pushing for smart guns. If you’re wondering what that means, why it rings a bell, or why we don’t have them already, you’ve come to the right place. What Are Smart Guns? While they sound futuristic and the technology […]
It Takes a Village
Maybe you own a few firearms or maybe you’re content with one, but no matter how good you are with that red dot sight on your 5.56 rifle you’re only human. There’s a reason Wyatt Earp wasn’t alone at the OK Corral, so why not consider arming your neighbors? The Best Defense… If you’ve seen […]
4 Reasons Gun Control Can’t Solve America’s Violence Problem
These 4 underlying sociological problems, not guns, are the key drivers of American violence. The gun-control paradigm—the idea that the solution to American violence is more laws restricting guns—is unhelpful. Gun control doesn’t work. Indeed, any statistical connection between gun policy and violence is tenuous. But even if gun control was effective, it would still be flawed. […]
Everytown For Gun Safety Claims to Speak For America, But We Can Fight Back
In the wake of two mass shootings within a week, leftist nonprofit Everytown For Gun Safety aims to spend at least $1 million in ads to “[pressure] Republican senators to support measures that would strengthen and expand background checks for gun buyers”. Their funds come mainly from Mike Bloomberg, longtime proponent of gun control and one of Everytown’s […]
Biden Administration Argues for Warrantless Home Entry and Gun Seizures Before the Supreme Court a Year After Breonna Taylor’s Death
A cursory overlook of the justice system’s operations reveals that the expansion of police powers almost always impacts marginalized communities more harshly – communities the Democrats claim to stand for.

READ: The Gun Background Check Form Where Hunter Biden Claimed He Wasn’t Using Drugs
Hunter Biden might have lied on the federal forms he filled out to buy the gun at the center of a bizarre new story, forms The Federalist has now obtained.

Netflix Declares War on Jesus [and Gun Owners]
Not content with glorifying pedophilia in Cuties, Netflix in season three of the animated Paradise P.D. features an episode that, according to NewsBusters, is not only devoted to “attacking gun rights,” but was also “blasphemous against Christianity, featuring a video of a gun-wielding Jesus that turns into a porno.” Great, Netflix! Edgy! Courageous! Cutting edge! Stunning and brave! Now, […]
COLORADO MASSACRE: Syrian Immigrant Ahmad Al Aliwi Alissa didn’t do it. The Ruger did it!
It looks like in less than his first one hundred days, Biden has an Islamic terrorist attack on his hands, but you will likely never hear those words uttered. Just a nut with a gun, move along, nothing to see. Of course, a week ago the nut with a gun was a white guy perpetrating […]
Guns Prevent Thousands of Crimes Every Day, Research Shows
How many lives are actually saved by gun ownership? It never fails. A split-second after a mass shooting occurs, grandstanders and ideologues issue statements demanding new gun controls—even if the laws already on the books failed or the laws they want would have made no difference. Case in point: the tragic incidents in Dayton, Ohio, and […]
House Passes Democrat Bill Criminalizing Private Gun Sales
Like the Nazis, the Democrats wish to disarm the citizenry. Gun control has never been about guns. It’s about control. “Every episode of genocide in the past century has been preceded by assiduous efforts to disarm the victims first. Turkish Armenia, The Holocaust, The USSR, Soviet Occupied Poland…” “….totalitarian governments are the most likely to […]
‘From My Cold Dead Hands’
“This is happening while Biden and his henchmen are smearing their legitimate political opponents – supporters of President Trump – as ‘extremists’ and ‘terrorists,’” she emphasizes. “He is trying to use the fantasy of violent opposition to his regime in order to justify the trashing of the Second Amendment.” ‘From My Cold Dead Hands’: US […]

VIDEO: The Myth That the U.S. Leads the World in Mass Shootings
To understand the misleading narrative, we must look to the era of narrative-driven journalism and the politicization of society, both of which subjugate truth to ideology and politics. If you asked me this morning which nation has the most mass shootings in the world, I would have said, with perhaps a flicker of hesitation, the […]

The Decline and Fall of the National Rifle Association
You could make a plausible argument that the National Rifle Association (NRA) was responsible for Donald Trump winning the election in 2016. They spent over $50 million on the 2016 election, of which over $31 million was for Trump, with the most important part being ads in swing states in the final weeks before election […]
