The U.S. government sued the U.S. territory, its police department and Police Commissioner Mario Brooks on Tuesday, accusing them of obstructing and systematically denying American citizens the right to possess and carry guns. The U.S. Virgin Islands requires that applicants demonstrate “good reason to fear death or great injury to his person or property,” and to have “two credible persons” to vouch for their need of a firearm. Local law also requires that someone have “good moral character” to obtain a gun permit, which is valid for up to three years and applies to a single weapon. The lawsuit states...

Albanese said he would propose new restrictions, including limiting the number of guns a licensed owner can obtain.Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday proposed tougher national gun laws after a mass shooting targeted a Hanukkah celebration on Sydney's Bondi Beach, leaving at least 15 people dead.

...The Justice Department filed a friend of the court brief in support of the plaintiffs suing Hawaii over a new law that curbs where people with concealed carry permits can bring their firearms, making it a misdemeanor to carry on any private property without "unambiguous written or verbal authorization" or where "clear and conspicuous signage" grants permission from the owner. "Hawaii's law plainly violates the Second Amendment," Attorney General Pam Bondi announced on X.

But the female clerk wasn't buying the con. What's more, the clerk said she was calling police, KWTV-DT reported — and she refused the male's demand that she give him back the counterfeit bill, Gary Knight of the Oklahoma City Police Department added to the station. Then the thug reportedly got violent. .....he grabbed his hands around my neck, and pushed me out of the counter space." Knight...

Breitbart News noted that Walz began pushing for a special gun control session shortly after a transgender male attacked Minneapolis’ Annunciation Catholic school on August 27, 2025.

Tim Walz (D) has dropped his focus on a special gun control session after his push for an “assault weapons” ban fell flat in the legislature. CBS News reported Walz saying, “If we’re going to hold a special session on safety of our children and safety of our streets...

FORT WORTH, TX (September 30, 2025) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) secured another landmark victory for individual liberty when Chief District Judge Reed O’Connor for the U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Texas ruled that the federal ban on firearm possession, storage, and carry at United States Post Offices and related properties, including post office parking lots, violates the Second Amendment in the FPC case of Firearms Policy Coalition v.

The Supreme Court took up its next Second Amendment case on Friday, agreeing to hear a challenge to Hawaii’s ban on carrying concealed weapons on private property without the owner’s express consent.

Last week, the Hawaii Supreme Court ruled that its state constitution does not protect an individual right to keep and bear arms — even though Article I, Section 17, of the Hawaii Constitution is virtually identical to the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Among other things, the Hawaii court offered a pointed — and colorful — repudiation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s reliance on history and tradition in interpreting the Second Amendment. Quoting the TV show The Wire, the Hawaii Supreme Court observed, “The thing about the old days, they the old days.” The case, State v. Wilson, came...

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...

Investigation details show a young man steeped in leftist dogma.After an intensive, multi-day manhunt, law enforcement officials on Friday said they had taken into custody conservative icon Charlie Kirk’s killer. Police assert 22-year-old Tyler Robinson “acted alone” in assassinating the Turning Point USA founder. But did he? Authorities said Robinson’s roommate shared with investigators the alleged cold-blooded killer’s communications on messaging app Discord. In them, the suspect discusses “a need to retrieve a rifle from a drop point, leaving the rifle in a bush, messages related to...

If you’re like me and have been watching the news feeds and social media for developments on the Charlie Kirk assassination, you have probably also come across a disturbing army of leftists online cheering for the conservative speaker’s death. Some posts, featuring people laughing and celebrating, have tens-of-thousands of upvotes. It’s not just the comments, it’s the mob of crazies supporting the comments.What I see in this mountain of degenerate psychopathy is confirmation. I and many other analysts have been warning for years that the fight for what remains of the western world will happen on two fronts: The globalists...

The fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk has sparked mockery on social media from some users who referenced the Turning Point USA co-founder's views on gun control. However this craziness from the far left and rejoicing over Kirk's death is driving some Democrats away from the Democratic Party.

“Vigilante justice has no place in a just society. Not on the left. Not on the right. Not in response to racism, and not in the name of righteousness,” said Shalomyah Bowers, a leader of the BLM Global Network Foundation. Black Lives Matter reacted to the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk, urging both the left and the right to put down their proverbial swords to finally put an end to political violence. “The killing of Charlie Kirk marks another dangerous step forward in this escalation,” said Shalomyah Bowers, a leader of Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation. “When someone...

NRA has often reported on failed “gun buyback” programs in cities across the country as being worse than useless. Unfortunately, for some, these programs have led to even more dangerous and life-threatening consequences. While the Chicago Police “gun turn-in program” website states that “all guns are destroyed and never returned to the streets,” that was not the case for Twanda Willingham. Ms. Willingham recently filed suit against the City of Chicago and others after she was shot with a Glock 21 .45 caliber handgun that had been relinquished to Chicago police at a gun turn-in event in December 2023. The...

On Wednesday, another mass shooting unfolded — this time at Fort Stewart military base in Georgia. A male Army sergeant, who illegally carried a gun on the base, wounded five soldiers before others tackled and disarmed him. Typically, only authorized designated security forces such as MPs are armed on duty. Any other soldier caught carrying a firearm faces severe consequences, ranging from a rank reduction, court-martial, potential criminal convictions, dishonorable discharge, forfeiture of pay, and even imprisonment. So why would a soldier risk such harsh penalties? Because if you’re the attacker, planning to murder fellow soldiers, gun control laws won’t...
