WaPo's History of AR-15 Ads Falls Flat 27.03.2023 21:20
The Washington Post's "analysis" of nearly 50 years of advertisements for the AR-15 misses the mark in many ways, particularly if the paper's goal was to portray the industry's marketing of modern sporting rifles as something nefarious. As Cam details, from the beginning the utility of the MSR was a key selling feature, even as consumer concerns shifted from hunting to self-defense over the decade...

Congressional Republicans Aim at Biden's Pistol Brace Rule 16.03.2023 21:00
More than 40 GOP senators and House members are backing a Congressional Review Act resolution condemning the Biden administration's new rules on pistol stabilizing braces, and while the resolution faces long odds in the Democratic-controlled Senate, as Cam explains, it's not the only route to undo the ATF's overreach.
Biden's 'Go Big' Demands Are Going Nowhere 15.03.2023 21:20
While Joe Biden's calling on Congress to "go big" and enact a ban on modern sporting rifles and "large capacity" magazines, gun control legislation isn't likely to go anywhere on Capitol Hill, and as Cam details, Biden's recently announced executive orders are mostly meaningless.

Bruen's 'Chaos' Is a Much-Needed Correction 08.03.2023 27:13
Ahead of four decisions on California gun laws that are expected to soon be released by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, the Los Angeles Times is advancing the narrative that the Supreme Court's Bruen decision is sowing "chaos" in the courts. But as Cam argues, upending the untenable status quo is a good thing, particularly given how the judiciary has abused "interest balancing" tests to regular...
14-Year-Old Schools Lawmakers on Importance of Second Amendment 07.03.2023 26:27
Mae Toppino says that like most other high school students, she's concerned about safety in schools. But she doesn't want to just feel safe.

The Gun Owners Action League's Jim Wallace joins Cam with details on Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey's new "training" for local law enforcement on inspecting gun shops in the state; a little-used provision in state law that Wallace says could create big problems for FFLs and huge headaches for local police.
The High Cost of Carrying in California 28.02.2023 24:26
Freedom costs a lot more than a buck-oh-five in LaVerne, California. It'll actually cost you more than $1,000 in order for you to exercise your right to carry. As Cam details, the small town is one of several jurisdictions in the state that appear to be doing all they can to reduce the number of legally-armed citizens, including making it too expensive to exercise a fundamental right.

While gun owners are well aware of this fact, it's somewhat shocking to see ABC News cover what's going on in Omaha, where shootings and homicides have declined considerably over the past 15 years; not because of any new gun control laws but thanks to a strategy of focusing law enforcement and community efforts on prolific and at-risk offenders.
