Crime (and more specifically, "gun violence") is the most common reason politicians give when trying to infringe on our right to keep and bear arms, but how much should we trust national reports like the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports or the National Crime Victimization survey, especially when they offer wildly different statistics about crime rates?

While New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham hasn't found much support for her unilateral order banning open and concealed carry in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County, her next step may very well involve bringing lawmakers back to Santa Fe for a special session on "gun violence"; an act that could lead to even more 2A infringements being foisted on the state's lawful gun owners.

Armed American Radio's Mark Walters joins Cam to kick around New Mexico Gov.

Connecticut's draconian gun laws haven't made a dent in Hartford's homicide rate, and now a group of community activists say they're ready to take to the streets and conduct armed patrols in some of the city's most violent neighborhoods; a move greeted with scorn and opposition from anti-gun activists and the city's mayor.
