Citigroup announced Tuesday that it’s ending its policy restricting banking services to businesses selling firearms, citing “regulatory developments, recent executive orders and federal legislation.” The policy, which required retailers to limit gun sales to people over 21, was originally implemented in 2018 after a 19-year-old shot and killed 17 students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. However, in a statement released Tuesday, the bank indicated it will “no longer have a specific policy regarding firearms.” “The policy was intended to promote the adoption of best sales practices as prudent risk management and didn’t address the manufacturing of...

No, Jamie Dimon isn't predicting an invasion of or civil war in the United States, but during his wide-ranging discussion at the Reagan National Economic Forum, he did issue some dire warnings about how American policymakers have made some very poor decisions in recent years that threaten economic turmoil in the near term and our long-term dominance in the medium term. Dimon, as you likely know, is CEO of JP Morgan Chase and the most powerful banker in the world, making him one of the powerful people in the world. While Dimon is not a magician, it would be stupid...

California police are looking for a man who allegedly tried to attack a 13-year-old girl but ended up with a broken ankle after she fought him off with jiu-jitsu. The incident unfolded on May 6 at Carmel-by-the-Sea as the girl was walking home, according to Michael Blackburn, her jiu-jitsu instructor, who spoke with KSBW-TV. “Halfway home, a gentleman was standing in between two cars, and he stepped out to punch her in the face,” said Blackburn. The girl reacted by using the jiu-jitsu training she had undertaken for three years in Blackburn’s classes at the Carmel Youth Center. “She punched...

Does the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms apply to fully automatic machine guns? The US District Court for the Western District of Tennessee is poised to rule on the matter. Jaquan Bridges pleaded guilty to possessing a machine gun after engaging in a 2023 shootout with police officers on a Tennessee highway. Courthouse News reported that Bridges “was arrested with a Glock .40 caliber pistol with an attachment that converted the handgun into a machine gun, but fought to dismiss the charge on constitutional grounds.” He claimed the 2022 U.S. Supreme Court ruling in New York State...

Florida is a state known for sunny beaches and red state politics. I've actually heard a state lawmaker describe it as the freest state in the nation. Of course, this was at a Second Amendment gathering where people know how restrictive the state can be on guns. They're not anti-gun, but not the most pro-gun, either. But they're good enough that people can defend themselves if need be. However, that doesn't mean someone won't make you move. It seems a Florida woman defended herself from a home invader. She shot the intruder and killed him. But rather than just be...

A judge on Monday reduced teen track star killer Karmelo Anthony’s bond from $1 million to $250,000 and placed him on house arrest. As TGP previously reported, 16-year-old track and football star Austin Metcalf was brutally stabbed to death earlier this month during a championship track meet at Kuykendall Stadium in Frisco, Texas. Metcalf, a junior at Frisco Memorial High School, was attacked in broad daylight — at a school-sanctioned event meant to showcase hard work, discipline, and sportsmanship. The suspect, 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony of rival school Frisco Centennial, was charged with first-degree murder. The Karmelo Anthony family attorney asked...

Weezer bassist Scott Shriner's wife Jillian Lauren was shot by police officers in Los Angeles Tuesday after authorities say she pointed a gun at a hit-and-run suspect, and refused to obey orders from officers on the scene.

All three had been running from the scene, police said, adding that Lauren, 51, came out from one of the nearby homes with a weapon in hand, though 'it's unclear whether she fired'...

An Idaho gun owner from Kuna was found not guilty by a jury of his peers recently in a case that some are questioning why the gun owner was charged in the first place.

A man had attempted to kill himself and was threatening kids and Theron’s wife, according to testimony in court. Theron eventually drew his weapon in a low-ready stance after the man was running at...

The teenager accused of fatally stabbing Austin Metcalf and leaving him to die in his twin brother’s arms at a high school track meet allegedly admitted to the senseless killing — but claimed it was in self defense. “I’m not alleged, I did it,” 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony chillingly told police in Frisco, Texas as he was being arrested at Kuykendall Stadium, according to an arrest warrant obtained by NBC DFW. The horrific stabbing was sparked when Anthony, who was sitting under another team’s pop up tent as it rained Wednesday morning, was asked by Metcalf to move — and Anthony...

(The Center Square) – A controversial gun control bill has cleared the Colorado General Assembly and now heads to the governor’s desk to be signed into law. Senate Bill 25-003, when introduced, initially outright banned the sale or purchase of most semi-automatic rifles or shotguns that take detachable magazines and exempted firearms with “permanently fixed” magazines. The bill was later amended to allow purchases if an individual secures a “firearms safety course eligibility card” from their local sheriff department and then completes a qualifying firearm education course. SB 25-003 passed a concurrent vote of 19-15-1 in the upper chamber on...

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — Following a 2News Investigation into accusations of prosecutorial misconduct at the Salt Lake County District Attorney’s Office, the case at the center of it all was heard by a juvenile court judge on Wednesday. This comes after criminal defense attorney Nathan Evershed filed multiple motions to dismiss the case against 15-year-old Emiliano, disqualify the DA’s Office from the case, and a motion for immediate release from custody. On August 17, 2023, at Scottsdale Park in West Valley City, Emiliano was robbed at gunpoint by 24-year-old Niusami Auelua, an AP&P probation fugitive who had extremely high...

A few decades ago the movement for concealed carry began. Anti-liberty/gun cracktivists were outraged. There would be wild west gunfights everywhere! The streets would run with blood! Of course, none of that happened. More recently, the Constitutional Carry movement caught fire, and the same predictions of blazing gunplay were made and failed to materialize. More than half the states allow constitutional carry and every state allows concealed carry of some sort. No state that has adopted concealed or constitutional carry has repealed either. Constitutional Carry means any citizen not otherwise disqualified by law—adjudicated mental illness, felony convictions, etc.--can carry concealed...

California is currently a ‘stand your ground’ state, however, a Democrat Assemblyman just introduced a bill that would criminalize self-defense. California Assemblyman and Democrat Caucus Chair Rich Chavez Zbur introduced AB 1333 which seeks to limit a homeowner’s right to defend their family and home from an intruder. This Democrat lunatic wants to limit a homeowner’s right to defend themselves from a dangerous intruder. More than anything else, this is an attack on the Second Amendment.

FRESNO, Calif. – A state lawmaker is seeking to change what qualifies as self-defense with a new bill in the state assembly. AB 1333 would eliminate certain circumstances for self-defense including defense of home or property. “I’m calling it a criminal-first agenda,” Assemblyman David Tangipa said. Assemblyman Tangipa is questioning the motive behind Assembly Bill 1333, making self-defense during crimes, like home break-ins, illegal. “If somebody broke into somebody’s house, then that individual, the homeowner had to do everything within their power to either leave, flee and prove that the individual is trying to kill them if they used necessary...
