Miami Police still covering up details of disastrous gun buyback for Ukraine

By most accounts, the Miami Police Department’s highly touted GUNS 4 UKRAINE gun buyback was an epic failure. The event, which was held June 18 at city hall and involved more than 40 on-duty police officers, yielded only a dozen or so rusty guns. A Similar buyback held Saturday by Tampa Police produced more than […]
Biden pressuring Dem governors for more gun control

The Biden-Harris administration is telling sympathetic Democratic governors to pass more gun control legislation with the apparent belief that if more states pass restrictive anti-gun bills, it will be easier for the administration to push for similar legislation at the federal level.

Sorry Ukraine, Miami Police gun buyback was a sham

Democratic Congresswoman admits Senate gun-control plan ‘just the beginning’

Florida Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) admitted something we all knew last weekend at the March for our Lives rally in Parkland, Florida, when asked about the gun control “framework” that a bipartisan group of 20 Senators have said they support. It’s just the beginning, she said, and more “significant” gun control is coming. “We […]
The media has reached an agreement on guns, not the Senate

by Lee Williams If the legacy media had their way, your front door would explode and seconds later you’d be hip-deep in armed gun-grabbers delivering high-caliber butt-strokes to your noggin until you surrendered the combination to your gun safe. That is the level of anti-gun bias today’s legacy media uses whenever they report on anything […]
Joe Biden pressuring his home state for gun control to score a political victory

by Lee Williams In terms of an individual’s right to keep and bear arms, Delaware has never been as bad as some of its neighbors, especially New Jersey.

Biden’s second ATF nominee garnering support among key Senate Dems

by Lee Williams Like his first choice, Joe Biden’s second choice to lead the ATF can’t define an “assault weapon” either. Former U.S. Attorney Steve Dettelbach testified Wednesday he would leave it to Congress to define an “assault weapon,” even though during his unsuccessful 2018 run for Ohio Attorney General Dettelbach called for an “assault […]
ATF inflating ‘ghost gun’ numbers hoping Congress inflates its budget

by Lee Williams The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is counting the number of Google searches for “ghost guns” claiming that the data supports their theory that homemade firearms are skyrocketing in popularity among criminals.

In Buffalo, Biden calls for gun control that’s already law and didn’t work

by Lee Williams Joe Biden brought his confusing anti-gun rhetoric to Buffalo, Tuesday – a city still grieving the loss of 10 good souls who were cut down Saturday by a hell-bound madman.

Johns Hopkins researchers peddling debunked data in war on constitutional carry

If you didn’t know any better, the headline on a press release published Wednesday by Johns Hopkins’ Bloomberg School of Public Health could appear damning: “Study Finds Link Between Dropping Permit Requirement for Carrying Concealed Weapons and Increase in Officer-Involved Shootings with Civilian Victims.” The Trace – the propaganda arm of former New York City […]
