Bearing Arms' Cam & Co

Columnist LZ Granderson says the NBA (and the country at large) has a problem with "gun culture", but as Cam explains, what he's really describing is a culture of criminality far removed from responsible gun ownership.

Did the Supreme Court uphold a ban on so-called "assault weapons" this week or deliver gun control advocates an historic victory? Not at all, but you'd never know it by listening to the absurd narrative advanced by the anti-gun media.

Bearing Arms contributor, firearms instructor, and New Jersey concealed carry holder John Petrolino joins Cam to break down Tuesday's decision halting enforcement (at least for now) of several parts of the state's "carry killer" anti-gun legislation.

The Memphis City Council is set to rollout a referendum on gun control that could go before the city's voters in 2024 that includes a ban on the sale of so-called assault weapons; an idea that's not only a violation of our fundamental rights (and Tennessee's firearm preemption law), but is likely to lead to an increase in sales of the very guns lawmakers want to ban.

Corey Fraser and his attorney Elliott Harding join Cam to discuss the hugely important decision by a U.S. District Judge last week that found the federal government's prohibition on retail handgun sales to adults under the age of 21 is a violation of Fraser's (and others) Second Amendment rights.

Rob Doar of the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus joins Cam to talk about the devil in the details of an omnibus public safety bill that includes major infringements to the Second Amendment rights of residents; from a "red flag" law with no due process protections and a "background check" measure that could result in a 30-day waiting period for some gun transfers.

Homicide clearance rates are at an all time low across the country, but instead of working to ensure there are consequences for violent crime blue-state and big city Democrats are pushing ineffective and unconstitutional gun control measures that make it harder for peaceable citizens to protect themselves from the violent criminals who are literally getting away with murder.

An anti-gun activist says she's committed to repealing the Second Amendment and has set her sights on Colorado, where she's hoping hordes of "white women putting their bodies on the line" will show up for a sit-in at the state capitol until Gov. Jared Polis signs an executive order banning all gun sales and implementing a mandatory "buy back" of all lawfully-owned firearms.

Michigan Democrats are poised to enact a "red flag" law in the coming days, but as Cam details, while they may be popular in public polling their gun-centric approach does nothing to treat or stop those who are a legitimate danger to themselves or others.

Not only do we have to deal with anti-gun locales trying to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms, but our ability to acquire arms for self-defense as well. Cam details the ongoing fight to block gun shops from opening in one California community, and why the Supreme Court may soon have to decide whether restrictive zoning laws designed to keep communities gun store-free are constitutional.

Detroit firearms instructor and Second Amendment advocate Rick Ector says it would be a violation of the Second Amendment as well as state law for the city of Detroit to turn its downtown area into a "gun-free zone", but tells Bearing Arms Cam & Co that the anti-gunners on the city council may be floating the idea in an attempt to undo the state's firearm preemption law altogether.

But as gun owners know all too well, in blue states the Second Amendment is still being treated as a second-class right at best, and all too often a privilege to be doled out by the state. Gun Owners Action League executive director Jim Wallace joins Cam with a firsthand report at what's happening in Massachusetts when it comes to the Second Amendment, and why he believes this is the most importan...

The Washington Post claims that Democratic AGs are "using the courts to win" on gun control, but their reporting fails to mention even a single case in recent months where judges have sided with anti-gunners and ignores the multiple decisions that have kept many newly-imposed gun laws on ice while they're being litigated.

One Washington State editorial writer's sounding awfully defensive about the state's new ban on so-called assault weapons by asserting that the only reason to oppose the ban is selfishness on the part of gun owners; rhetoric that doesn't match the reality of the growing opposition to bans, even among non-gun owners.

FASTER Colorado's Laura Carno says she's hearing from school districts across the state who are adopting policies allowing for armed school staff, with the Covenant School shooting in Nashville serving as a painful wake-up call for many educators concerned about keeping kids safe on campus.

Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee's done some good things for Second Amendment supporters, including signing constitutional carry into law. But as Cam explains, the governor's call for a special session to pass a "temporary mental health restraining order" bill is off-base and out of step with both public safety and our fundamental civil rights.

Is the Second Amendment an out-of-date relic of history that was only meant to protect service in a militia? Fifteen years after the Supreme Court put that myth to rest, anti-gunners are still bitterly clinging to the notion that by claiming the Second Amendment is an anachronism, they can make it so, even as millions of Americans are embracing their individual right to keep and bear arms for the...

The San Marcos Independent School District is launching its School Marshal program, which will put trained, vetted, and armed school staff members in each of the district's eight elementary schools; a substantive step to improve student safety already adopted by dozens of districts across the state.

California Rifle & Pistol Association head and Second Amendment attorney Chuck Michel joins Cam to discuss the latest legal fights against Illinois' ban on "assault weapons", the many court challenges to California gun control laws, and what could be the first gun ban case to get back to SCOTUS after last year's Bruen decision.

Gun control groups have been demanding "smart guns" for decades, but now that a Colorado company is taking pre-orders for its $1600 pistol some anti-gun activists are starting to express surprising reservations about the tech.

Rep. Nancy Mace told Fox News Sunday's Shannon Bream that Republicans need to do more to respond to the threat of active shooter incidents, but while she argued that gun control isn't the answer, she also called on Congress to pass background check legislation; something most 2A advocates would argue is just another ineffective gun control "solution."

Efforts to denormalize and stigmatize gun ownership by pushing firearms retailers into the shadows are happening all across the country, including residents of a Connecticut town who object to a planned gun shop to a Louisiana parish that's enacted new zoning restrictions on where stores can open.

The DC Project's Dianna Muller joins Cam with updates on the grassroots organizations ongoing efforts to defend the Second Amendment and counter anti-gun activists, including an upcoming rally at the Indiana state capitol slated for this Friday.

Missouri lawmakers are taking aim at the state's designation of public transportation as a "gun-free zone"; a long overdue effort given the fact that criminals are routinely ignoring the prohibition and targeting unarmed riders.

The last time Louisiana lawmakers approved constitutional carry, defections from a handful of lawmakers allowed Gov. John Bel Edwards' veto to remain in place. This year, however, Rep. Danny McCormick sounds confident that the GOP supermajority in both chambers will be enough to override the governor's anticipated veto and enshrine constitutional carry into law.
