An ABC TV station was hit by gunfire on Friday afternoon, just one day after protestors gathered outside and railed against the network's decision to pull Jimmy Kimmel off the air. Police say the broadcasting station in Sacramento, California, was struck by at least three bullets in what they're calling a drive-by shooting. No injuries were reported, but the shots hit a window that faces the street, and people were inside the building at the time, according to Sacramento Police. 'We haven't had a lot of attacks on our media partners, and we'd like to keep it that way,' Officer...

Did Charlie Kirk say it is acceptable for people to die so we can have guns? Of course not. He actually gave a highly reasonable speech on the necessity of the right to keep and bear arms. We have seen an insane number of people commenting that it is perfectly fine and even wonderful that Charlie Kirk was assassinated because he justified gun violence. First of all, it is not right to laugh and dance about the murder of a young father in any case, but especially not in this case, when leftists are as usual grossly misrepresenting what he...

Asocial media post made by Stephen King about Charlie Kirk's shooting has sparked a backlash. Bestselling author King triggered outrage after he called the death of Kirk, 31, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah, on Wednesday during a question-and-answer session on campus "another example of American gun violence." The Context The 31-year-old was a conservative influencer and President Donald Trump ally. He was also the founder and executive director of Turning Point USA and frequently visited university campuses to deliver talks. The motivation of the shooter is not known but Kirk's death has reignited concerns...

A Washington teenager was arrested after investigators found a large cache of weapons and writings about 'mass shooting scenarios' in his home. The alleged would-be killer, who has not been named, was obsessed with 'previous mass shooters' and 'idolized' them as he hatched a chilling plot to carry out his own murder spree, cops said. The Pierce County Sheriff's Office said they descended on the boy's home in Tacoma, Washington after being notified on Friday afternoon that he was 'making threats to kill.' Following a sweep of his home on Saturday morning, authorities said they seized a 'large quantity' of...

Jonah Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Dispatch and longtime Never-Trumper, suggested that the Democrats could send the military to confiscate firearms from law-abiding Americans. Goldberg framed his comments during a panel discussion on violent crime in major Democrat-run cities, comparing it to Donald Trump’s efforts to use federal resources to restore order in places like Chicago. Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson signed an executive order last month, titled the “Protecting Chicago Initiative,” aimed at preventing the potential deployment of the National Guard by President Donald Trump to address the city’s rampant crime issues. Johnson, a far-left Democrat, claims the order is necessary...

This week, another transgender shoot-up of a Christian school provides more chilling evidence that the culture war is a spiritual war. The Minneapolis shooter’s actions and Democrats’ interpretation of them both demonstrate this. The New York Post published excerpts of the shooter’s journal posted on YouTube that include a drawing of him communing with a Satanic figure in a mirror. As I’ve written before, Satan-worshippers can be startlingly more direct than many Christians about the connections between their spiritual and political beliefs.

BOSTON — Mass Daily News has obtained explosive leaked photos that blow open the scandal surrounding Boston Fire Lieutenant Joshua Thompson. The images show what appears to be a secret basement gun cave beneath his Milton home, including a firing lane with concrete walls and mounted targets, as well as the arsenal investigators seized: rifles, handguns, boxes of ammunition, and tactical gear spread across evidence tables. A hero’s stunning fall Thompson was once hailed as a hero — a decorated Army and Navy veteran and a Boston firefighter praised for bravery at a deadly North End fire. But today, prosecutors...

Illegal migrants in LA have been raiding homes and apartments, in many cases with sophisticated jamming devices that take out security systems. However local police are warning the public that non-migrant thieves are embracing these same tactics, which may be why more homes than ever seem to be targeted not just here, but across america.

I think these are very good arguments to debunk the left wing lies trying to deny us our Constitutional rights. To set the stage, let’s just look at basic civics: the purpose of any amendment is because something is off limits to being changed through legislation. We should then be able to point to something that was rendered off limits to being changed through legislation due to the ratification of the 2nd Amendment. The anti gun groups focus exclusively on 2 parts of the 2nd Amendment, “Well Regulated”, and “Militia”. Their arguments are boil down to 2 things, “Well Regulated”...

The Air Force Global Strike Command has ordered an immediate halt to the use of its M18 service pistol following the death of a Security Forces Airman in a “tragic incident.” The Airman was killed by an alleged accidental discharge, fueling long-standing complaints and a recent FBI report suggesting the M18 can fire without its trigger being pulled.

The $35 million firearms portal launched to enforce WA’s tough new gun laws has been paused after a security breach. But the Government rejected calls to halt the roll-out as “fear mongering” and senior police insisted the risk was “minor”. A Jarrahdale sports shooting club raised the alarm, after it realised a former club official was still able to access data that included the storage locations of firearms registered to the club’s corporate licence. Police said 10 people were linked to the club’s account and it appeared only one unauthorised person had inadvertently accessed the system. But Commander Lawrence Panaia...

His administration, which is avowedly committed to protecting Second Amendment rights, nevertheless is defending that restriction against the FPC's challenge, saying it "serves legitimate objectives" and "only modestly burdens the right to keep and bear arms." That argument sounds suspiciously like the sort of "interest balancing" that the Supreme Court emphatically rejected in Bruen. When a gun restriction affects conduct covered by "the Second Amendment's plain text," the Court said in that case, the government has the burden of demonstrating that it is "consistent with this Nation's historical tradition of firearm regulation." That test typically requires identifying historical analogs that...

A state trooper and several churchgoers have been seriously wounded in two shootouts during a gunman's rampage. Panicked passengers ran for their lives as shots were fired at Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, Kentucky, about 11.40am, wounding the trooper. The shooter then fled to nearby Richmond Road Baptist Church, where he was cornered by pursuing cops, Kentucky State Police said. He was shot dead at the church and multiple parishioners were wounded by gunfire as they tried to escape. Whom they were shot by is still unclear. The wounded deputy was taken to hospital with serious injuries but is in...

A sprawling fentanyl trafficking network stretching from Albuquerque to Salem, Oregon, has been shattered by federal authorities in what’s being called one of the largest operations of its kind in U.S. history. The takedown, made public this week, culminated in a massive sweep across New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Oregon.

At the helm of...

A distraught Florida mother screamed at the top of her lungs and swore at a judge for nearly four minutes after her son's killer was handed a shockingly light sentence. Deidre Wade jumped out of her seat in a West Palm Beach courtroom on June 16 after Circuit Judge Richard Oftedal sentenced Cemari Daniels, 23, to 12 years behind bars for fatally shooting her 17-year-old son Jaleen Snead. Daniels faced life in prison, but jurors chose to convict him of manslaughter instead of murder. Daniels shot and killed Snead in the backseat of a car at an apartment complex on...

A veteran Washington D.C. investigative journalist says the Department of Homeland Security confiscated a stack of her confidential files during a raid of her home in August — leading her to fear that a number of her sources inside the federal government have now been exposed. In an interview with The Daily Caller, journalist Audrey Hudson revealed that the Department of Homeland Security and Maryland State Police were involved in a predawn raid of her Shady Side, Md. home on Aug. 6. Hudson is a former Washington Times reporter and current freelance reporter. A search warrant obtained by TheDC indicates...
