(Video at source)On Tuesday, while sneaking in some last-minute campaigning in Detroit on the day of the critical Michigan primary, Joe Biden got into an extended confrontation with an autoworker who took issue with the former vice president's stance on guns..... ....The insinuation was obvious. Biden, the front-runner to be the Democratic presidential nominee, had lost it when an autoworker had confronted him about his too-liberal gun policies. (Wolking also shared video on Twitter of some of the autoworkers chanting "Trump!" as Biden toured the facility.) This was a bad moment -- in the mind of the Trump team --...

Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden appeared to come unhinged again while touring an auto plant in Detroit. The candidate had been acting jovial just moments before when an exchange with an auto worker became heated after the conversation turned to guns control. Biden pointed his finger in the workers face while yelling “wait, wait, wait, wait” and the worker appeared to try to wave him off. A colleague standing next to the worker appeared to pat his back in an attempt to keep him calm. A campaign aide appeared from behind toward the end of the video in an obvious...

Joe Biden needs to win Michigan. It’s a swing state the President won in 2016, so winning the primary will do more than give Biden more delegates. It will solidify his reputation as being better than Bernie Sanders at defeating President Trump. But at a campaign stop at a factory today, Biden got a little agitated over a question about the 2nd Amendment. So far, we’ve found two versions of the video. The one above is longer and seems to have better audio, while the one below from Benny Johnson gives a clearer picture of Biden’s angered facial features as...

A bizarre Florida “red flag” case shows the importance of safeguards that protect people’s Second Amendment rights.The allegations against Kevin Morgan were alarming. They described just the sort of circumstances that Florida legislators had in mind when they approved that state's "red flag" law in 2018, three weeks after the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. Morgan's estranged wife, Joanie, claimed he was depressed, suicidal, and obsessed with the apocalypse, which he thought was imminent. She said he was stockpiling food, gold, guns, and ammunition in anticipation of the end times; that he talked about seeing,...

How to Install The AR-15 Barrel and Gas SystemBuilding an AR-15 upper piece by piece? Upgrading your barrel? Maybe you're swapping 5.56 or .223 for 300 Blackout like we are today. This guide illustrates how to install the AR-15 barrel and gas system. Virtually all AR-15 barrels ship with the extension already threaded and torqued. The headspace must be perfect, the index pin must align with the gas port perfectly, and torque requirements are high, usually well over 100 ft-lbs. We don't recommend trying to install the extension onto the barrel yourself. We're putting together a 300 Blackout pistol upper...

Like a number of states, concealed pistol license holders in Michigan are exempted from the requirement to undergo a NICS background check every time they purchase a new firearm. That’s because permit holders have already undergone an extensive background check and fingerprinting in order to be issued a permit in the first place. Michigan has had that exemption from the ATF since 2006, but yesterday the ATF rescinded it. Why? Because recreational marijuana is now legal in the state. Voters approved legalization in 2018 and retail sales started December 1, 2019. While buying and using weed may not be a...

Image from gun-nuttery, cropped by Dean Weingarten Constitutional Carry continues to gain members. One to three states are likely to pass new laws in 2020.Constitutional Carry is the return to a close approximation of the state of law in the United States when the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791.  At that time there were no permits required to carry weapons in public places, either openly or concealed. Concealed weapons were common and popular. Examples are knives, sword canes, and Queen Anne's or “muff” pistols. This state of law persisted in the United States for 30 years, until nearly...

HOW TO INSTALL THE AR-15 LOWER PARTS KITInstalling the lower parts kit in your AR-15's lower receiver should take less than two hours for first-time builders.

This guide is applicable for both a finished 80% lower (AR-15, AR9, and...

WASHINGTON - - The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal of the federal ban on bump stocks, devices that allow semi-automatic firearms to fire rapidly like machine guns. The justices did not comment in declining to review a lower court-ruling that upheld the ban, which took effect nearly a year ago. President Donald Trump said that the government would move to ban bump stocks, following a 2017 shooting in Las Vegas in which a gunman attached bump stocks to assault-style rifles he used to shoot concertgoers from his hotel room. By using the devices, which allow shots to be...

This is a question to all Trump supporters and conservatives. We are in the fight for our lives, the socialists and ‘Bernie Bros’ want the rest of us disarmed for their ‘revolution’. Those of us on the right need to band together in stopping the assault. The purpose here is to compile a list of the “Better” 2nd amendment freedom groups such a GOA or VCDL. Part of the problem is that some groups are posers and Ne’er-do-wells The gun feed recently did this: Help us compile a list of state gun rights organizations… http://thegunfeed.com/state-gun-rights-organizations/ The more information the better...

SANTA FE – Over objections from all but a few New Mexico county sheriffs, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Tuesday signed into law a red flag gun bill that will allow firearms to be temporarily taken away from those deemed dangerous to themselves or others. The Extreme Risk Firearm Protection Order Act, which takes effect in mid-May, will make New Mexico the 18th state to enact such a law. The Democratic governor made the red flag gun bill one of her top initiatives during the 30-day legislative session that ended last week and predicted the new law would reduce New...

2020 Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden promised gun manufacturers across the United States that he’s “coming for them.” “A guy has 12 assault weapons with bump stocks, which means you can fire it faster. You can pull the trigger faster,” Biden said to a crowd during a CNN town hall. “Why in God’s name should anyone, anyone, anyone, anyone be able to own that? It’s just wrong, and we’ve got to — and I promise you, as president, I am going to get these guys.”

The West Virginia Senate passed Senate Bill 96, a reform of the state weapons preemption law, on 11 February 2020. It passed with a vote of 30 in favor, 2 opposed. It appears all 50 states have some form of weapons preemption law.  Such laws prohibit local governments from enacting rules, ordinances or limits on the exercise of Second Amendment rights. This ensures some weapons laws are uniform across the entire state.The preemption laws vary in effectiveness and scope. In West Virginia, the current preemption law §8-12-5a has this heading: §8-12-5a. Limitations upon municipalities’ power to restrict the purchase, possession,...

LIVINGSTON COUNTY (WXYZ) — There's a debate over sanctuary counties and the second amendment in Livingston County with a resolution to make Livingston County a Second Amendment sanctuary county. The resolution was presented in front of the public safety and infrastructure committee, and it would limit what law enforcement can enforce. It’s a topic that has many people speaking out. People are making their points about why Livingston County should or shouldn't be a Second Amendment county. Some say it’s a good idea while others say no way. ....................... The public safety committee did approve this resolution, it now goes...

I find it quite strange that the Bill of Rights is so easily dismissed–by those who have NO idea as to its origins and purpose–It sure as hell WASN’T, given to us so we could hunt but rather so that our Government could not turn into a bunch of tyrants–more important now than it was then! One thing is for sure Americans will never lose their guns, furthermore, the latest data shows numbers that will make liberals cry. In the year of the impeachment trial more guns were bought than any other year in U.S. history. The Washington Times reported...

Gun rights advocate Kaitlin Bennett was chased off the Ohio University campus by a large group of protesters Monday when she made an impromptu appearance, according to reports. Bennett was there to film “man on the street” style interviews for Liberty Hangout when a threatening mob formed to chase them off-campus. She says that the unhinged demonstrators were not only yelling and screaming, but assaulted her and those she was with by throwing beverages at them multiple times. As you might expect the leftists who run the university blamed Bennett for the riot: https://twitter.com/oupolice/status/1229538366020112385?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1229538366020112385&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fconservativeus.com%2Fvideos-violent-leftists-at-ohio-university-mob-gun-girl-kaitlin-bennett-she-vows-to-return-with-army-of-gun-owners-for-an-open-carry-walk%2F Students bragged about the anti-free speech...

One of the Democrats’ favorite talking points on gun control is that we don’t need military weapons of war on America’s streets. Former mayor Pete Buttigieg has been the most effective of the presidential candidates at making this claim, because of his military background. If anyone knows whether a gun is a military weapon, it is surely an Afghanistan War veteran who was trained on these weapons. Representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) is the only other remaining candidate with military experience, having been a major in the Hawaii Army National Guard for 17 years, and she is the least outspoken about...
