Joe Biden has never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Or a campaign speech. Or the State of the Union Address. As a result, Biden has received more Pinocchios than a gift shop at Disney, especially when he talks about guns.Biden has lied at least 304 times at more than 65 public events since taking office, according to an analysis of official White House transcripts by the Second Amendment Foundation’s Investigative Journalism Project. In fact, Biden lies nearly every single time he mentions firearms, gun rights or the Second Amendment.To be clear, this analysis does...

HB 338 – Reporting lost and stolen firearms. HB 714 – Universal Background Checks. HB 731 – Mandatory Storage of Long Guns. HB 1018 – Extreme Risk Protection Orders.

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough bought the propaganda from an October 26, 2022, New York Times anti-gun piece, tweeting unfounded criticism of Gov. Greg Abbott (R) as a result. On October 26, 2022, the NYT ran an article titled, “Texas Goes Permitless on Guns, and Police Face an Armed Public.” The gist of the piece asserted Texas has become more dangerous because of permitless carry, i.e., constitutional carry. However, the text of the article contains information from various sources that actually counter that claim.

Sadness, of course. Who could not feel heartbroken when looking at the scenes from Robb Elementary School? Horror, obviously, that this could happen at a primary school in the middle of the day, the most vulnerable mown down in broad daylight, 90 miles west of San Antonio, with at least one of their teachers. Others are injured, who knows who badly. But then comes the exasperation, the weary helplessness, and – in truth – the sheer anger. How can this be happening once again in America? How can another community become irrevocably torn apart by such senseless violence, barely a...

You've read the newsflash with a sickening knot in your stomach. There has been another school shooting in the US. Then comes the detail. This time, it's a primary school - 14 children and a teacher are dead, then it's updated to 19 children and two teachers. Inevitably, it soon also becomes clear the killer himself is barely out of Childhood, an 18-year-old loner whose birthday present to himself was two automatic rifles and 300 rounds of ammunition. Most gruesomely of all - and apologies in advance, but there's no nice way to say this - the police are seeking...

A leftist Washington Post contributor played loose with the facts on guns in her attempt to convince readers to support banning “assault-style weapons.” Kaiser Health News Editor-in-Chief Elisabeth Rosenthal’s latest anti-gun op-ed was headlined, “I was a teenage gun owner, then an ER doctor. Assault-style weapons make me sick.” She pivoted off her childhood rifling hobby and her experience as an emergency room doctor to gripe: “I gave up riflery as a teenager when other options — boys, movies, travel — came along. Maybe I’ll take it up again someday, if assault-style weaponry is banned and the word ‘gun’ again...

Who the hell does this guy think he is? Does he think that the Men in Black came in overnight and used their “neuralyzer” to wipe people’s memories? Bro, we remember that you admitted to doing blackface, we know you’re nickname was “Coonman” at the Virginia Military Institute, and we know your yearbook photo at Eastern Virginia Medical School has one person in blackface and another in full Ku Klux Klan regalia—all of these photos were personally submitted by you. No one forgot about this, you idiot. No one. And if you weren’t a Democrat, you would’ve been kicked to...

WELD COUNTY, Colo. (CBS4) – Inspired by the movie “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri,” Lindasue Smollen of Boulder put up her own billboard messages after passage of the “Red Flag Bill.” “Sheriff Reams up there decided he will not enforce it, and he has decided on his own it’s unconstitutional,” Smollen told CBS4’s Rick Sallinger. The six billboards read in part, “More Americans have died of gun violence since 1970… than in all wars in American history.” “It’s really about education. This is not political. This is not a democratic issue, it’s not a republican issue, it’s a human rights...

Newly elected Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Republican Dennis Bonnen, campaigned as a pro-Second Amendment candidate. However, actions speak far louder than words and we now see he lied. For the first time in decades, a Speaker has appointed anti-gun Democrats to chair the two most important House Committees for Texas gun owners. Speaker Bonnen appointed D-rated, anti-gun Democrat Poncho Nevarez as Chair of the Homeland Security & Public Safety Committee and F-rated, anti-gun Democrat Nicole Collier to Chair the Criminal Jurisprudence Committee. These are the two committees that hear all gun and self-defense related bills. Committee chairmen...

House Democrats on Tuesday will introduce a bipartisan bill to expand background checks for gun purchases, following on Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s Day One pledge to tackle gun violence. The legislation will expand background checks for guns bought online and at gun shows, but it excludes “reasonable exceptions” for gun transfers among family members. It will be introduced on the anniversary of the Jan. 8, 2011, mass shooting in Tucson, Ariz., that left former Rep. Gabby Giffords seriously wounded. Giffords, an Arizona Democrat who resigned her House seat after the shooting, will participate in the unveiling of the measure, Pelosi announced....

While it may seem hard to believe, there was a time when the citizens of Venezuela were allowed to keep and bear arms. This wasn’t the distant past we’re talking about either. It was only in 2012 that the socialist government of Hugo Chavez enacted the “Control of Arms, Munitions and Disarmament Law.” When it was passed, the authors of the legislation pulled no punches, saying that the explicit purpose of the law was to “disarm all citizens.” That bill was spectacularly successful, massively reducing the volume of privately owned firearms. Then, when the new tyrant, Nicolas Maduro took power...

<p>For Republicans in Virginia, it’s time to face facts. We’re slowly becoming Maryland. Yes, we may have a Republican state legislature, but majorities in both houses hang by a thread. The Northern Virginia suburbs, where I live, are chock full of insufferable liberals who drive the direction of the whole state. The days of this state going to the GOP are over. The Obamaites infested the Old Dominion and never left. The next gubernatorial election is not until 2021, but we already have one anti-gun voice that says he’s in: state Attorney General Mark Herring.</p>

 When it comes to inane hot takes on social issue, the Left never fails, and neither do their publications that peddle drivel on a daily basis. Yet, while Russian collusion hysteria has taken over the left wing blogosphere, anti-gun hot takes will always rise to the top. Right now, we’re being told by the CDC to stay the hell away from romaine lettuce. The warnings are pervasive, with health updates, breaking news alerts, and the blaring sirens: don’t eat romaine. Over at the left wing Think Progress, they’re wondering why there aren’t any such updates about gun violence. Yeah, it’s...

Facebook is asking banks to share customer’s financial information in a climate where corporate America is blacklisting gun manufacturers and businesses or groups that support the Second Amendment. On March 23, 2018, Breitbart News reported Citibank’s new corporate gun controls which bar gun store customers from selling “high-capacity” magazines and require those same stores to refuse long gun sales to 18 to 20-year-old Americans, even though it is legal to sell long guns to 18 to 20-year-olds. On March 30, 2018, Breitbart News reported that Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility (ICCR), which has $634 billion in assets, joined the gun...

Trump Nominee Judge Affirmed Despite Anti-Gun Past 23 Republican Senators voted for him. Posted July 13, 2018 in Legal Issues by Russ Chastain with No Comments A recent article the Washington Free Beacon is headlined, “Senate Confirms Trump Nominee with Questionable Gun Record Despite Majority of Republicans Voting No.” So, what about Mark Bennett’s record is “questionable,” and why did so many Republicans vote against his confirmation to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals? Questions about Bennett’s record were first raised during hearings in the Judiciary Committee. Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Texas) described the record of the former Republican attorney general...

Did we take the red pill or the blue pill? Did we fall down the rabbit hole or not? What does a scanner see? The liberal news media has convinced themselves and their allies that no one is advocating the repeal of the Second Amendment; they just wrote several op-eds about it. This is all part of fever dream conservatives are suffering in the wake of the tragic Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in February; the Left has made this diagnosis through their computer screens. No one wants to strip gun rights. It’s all a dream—sleep. Sleep. Sleep. Fortunately, the...

The liberal mainstream media widely publicized the protests as being student organized. But, of course, this was complete rubbish. The well-planned events against the Second Amendment were organized and funded by outside groups – including the Democrat Party.

Former President Barack Obama tweeted his support for students marching across the US to demand gun control, telling them they're leading the charge. "Michelle and I are so inspired by all the young people who made today's marches happen," the tweet said. "Keep at it. You're leading us forward. Nothing can stand in the way of millions of voices calling for change."
