Two women in the ballpark (White Sox) stands were hurt in the incident in August 2023. Video from that day shows the reaction as the two women realized they had been shot. In defiance of the laws of physics, two bullets fired within a second, traveled in exactly the same parabolic arc for nearly a mile, surmounting a one-hundred-plus foot wall. Said bullets then dropped at a precipitous angle (unexplainable by ballistic science by the way) with enough generated force to (A) penetrate the flesh of one victim, and (B) enough re-entry heat to leave a scorch mark on the...

First came the guns — the Mausers from Germany, the Carcanos from Italy — and then came the moral pretexts. These days, the American right is forever touting firearms as matters of principle or heralding them as hallmarks of a certain sort of rugged identity. But guns, before fetishists succeeded in converting them into symbols, were simply commodities, as unglamorous as washing machines. In his crisply written and incisive new book, “,” historian Andrew C. McKevitt chronicles the transformation of guns from tangible weapons to ideological ammunition. Sharp, fascinating, devastating, exhaustively researched and often wryly funny, this indispensable book —...

On August 9, 2024, the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the district court on a case in which numerous states and private parties challenged the ATF’s “pistol-brace” regulatory decision which attempted to reclassify items that it had previously approved as non-NFA “pistols” to NFA short barrel rifles. See, Firearms Regulatory Accountability Coalition, Inc., et al v. Merrick Garland, et al, No. 23-3230 (8th Cir. August 9, 2024). The district court denied the request by the Plaintiffs for a preliminary injunction when the court concluded that the Plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed on the merits – that is, the trial...

If the Lord ever blesses me with a daughter, I hope she's as enthusiastic about guns as Autumn is.YouTube link.

A three-judge panel in the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit has unanimously struck down a Minnesota law that forbids the exercise of rights protected by the Second Amendment for people over 18 but less than 21 years old. The decision is a significant victory in the ongoing process of restoring rights protected by the Second Amendment. Multiple infringements have piled up over the last century.The particular infringements on the right to bear arms in Minnesota started in 1975. In 1975, the Minnesota legislature passed a sweeping gun control law that forbid anyone from carrying handguns in...

Lynne Russell, a longtime CNN anchor, made headlines after being listed as the lead plaintiff in a massive Second Amendment challenge in our nation’s capital. Russell is now waging war against D.C.’s prohibition concerning “off-body” carrying of firearms and weapons.

For years, former CNN Anchor Lynne Russell was the familiar face of Headline News for the country. She may soon be making headlines again as the lead plaintiff in what could prove a major Second Amendment challenge in Washington, D.C. Russell is challenging the city’s prohibition on “off-body” carrying of weapons, including keeping a handgun in a purse. That type of off-body carry is precisely what may have saved Russell’s life in a shootout with an armed assailant in 2015. Russell’s nightmare began when the armed assailant grabbed her outside of their motel in Albuquerque, New Mexico and forced her...

Matt Gaetz reposted Kyle Rittenhouse @ThisIsKyleR Over the past 12 hours, I've had a series of productive conversations with members of the Trump's team and I am confident he will be the strong ally gun owners need to defend our Second Amendment rights. My comments made last night were ill-informed and unproductive. I'm 100% behind Donald Trump and encourage every gun owner to join me in helping send him back to the White House. 3:46 PM · Aug 2, 2024 · 4.7M Views

I don’t support his decision, but this is America; it’s a free country. This is disappointing, but other matters need attending, like winning the 2024 election. Kyle Rittenhouse garnered national attention for shooting three men in self-defense during the Kenosha riots in 2020. He later navigated through the conservative media sphere. Still, he’s taking a beating after he declared he won’t be supporting Donald Trump, citing his record on gun rights (via NBC Montana): Rittenhouse claimed Trump’s record on gun rights shows he would compromise on Second Amendment issues. “Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors making him bad on the...

EXPOSED: Kyle Rittenhouse has been working with Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, a gun lobby ran by serial Trump hater Dudley Brown. Rocky Mountain Gun is the Colorado affiliate of the National Association for Gun Rights. The national organization helped fund Rittenhouse amid his legal case when he “was in trouble.”b Rittenhouse announcement for not voting for Trump was actually posted by Dudley Browm first. That post is still on Kyle’s page. This company has a history of spending tens of thousands of dollars against Pro Trump candidates. Rittenhouse has spoke for Rocky Mountain Gun Owners at multiple venues and events,...

In a video shared to his X account, formerly Twitter, Rittenhouse said he would be "writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States" come the November election. "Hi, I'm Kyle Rittenhouse, Outreach Director for Texas gun rights. A lot of people are upset that I said that I'm going to be writing in Ron Paul for president of the United States, and that is true, I will be writing in Ron Paul," the 21-year-old said in the clip, referring to the former Texas congressman. "Unfortunately, Donald Trump had bad advisors, making him bad on the Second Amendment, and...

MI AG Dana Nessel appears to have lied about the owner of 4 semi-automatic rifles with suppressors and modified pistols that were found stored in a Pelican case during a raid of the Democrat-funded GBI Strategies headquarters in Southfield, MI. On October 16, 2020, the Muskegon Police Department was called to the Muskegon City Clerk’s office to investigate what appeared to be a mass voter registration fraud effort targeting urban communities across the state of Michigan. Between 8,000-10,000 voter registrations (many of which, according to the police reports, were fake) were being mailed from a hotel in Auburn Hills, MI....

A leftist activist has been arrested for burning down a gun shop owned by Cornel Rasor, a Republican candidate for the Idaho State House of Representatives, on the Fourth of July. The activist, Jennifer S. Meyer, is accused of burning down Cornel Rasor’s Army Surplus Store in Sandpoint, prompting celebrations from her fellow leftists. Meyer has reportedly made signs for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and a local arts commission. It appears the fire that consumed Cornell Razor’s Army Surplus store (located just 1 block away from where Sandpoint Pride is held) was ARSON, not a “stray firework.”...

The House Armed Services Committee has sent a letter to Army Secretary Christine Wormuth, seeking answers about why pro-lifers were smeared as terrorists in a recent briefing at an Army base. The Committee gave a deadline of two weeks for response. Last week, photos of a slide presentation given to a group of soldiers at Fort Liberty in North Carolina were leaked; in the presentation, groups like National Right to Life and Operation Rescue were listed as potential terrorist groups. Bullet points on the slide said being “anti-abortion” and “Pro Life,” as well as opposing “Row v Wade [sic]” were...

I am a diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) expert. Will Trump seize the apparent assassination attempt against him as an opportunity to meaningfully address the epidemic of gun violence in America? Will he deem unacceptable the dangers to which citizens are exposed as they go to schools, places of religious worship, concerts, movie theaters, supermarkets, shopping malls, sporting events, and now, presidential campaign rallies? It’s possible, but unlikely. Butler is less than an hour north of Pittsburgh. It isn’t an urban center. But many big cities in which large numbers of Black Americans reside have long been plagued with inexcusably...

Arab American leaders from the left and the right of American politics said they were in shock that former president Donald Trump was lightly injured in an apparent assassination attempt against him while he was speaking to a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday night. Initial reports and live television showed Trump addressing the rally and he turned his head to the right as he was speaking when three loud gunshots were heard. Trump grabbed his right ear, which was bloodied, as he was brought to the ground and covered completely by four by Secret Service agents. Trump raised his hand...

Forbes has deleted an article musing about whether or not former President Donald Trump will use surviving an assassination attempt to help him win over more black voters. The article was titled “Will Surviving Gunfire Be Donald Trump’s Next Appeal To Black Voters?” and was written by contributor Shaun Harper, a tenured professor described by Forbes as a “DEI expert.” The link to the article now reads, “We can’t find the page that you are looking for,” across the top. Unfortunately for Forbes, the internet is forever, and the article was archived many times before it was removed. The article...

Over ten million gun owners and hunters are not registered to vote in America, according to the New York Post, and these are voters the Republicans need to make it across the finish line in November.
