WaPo's History of AR-15 Ads Falls Flat 27.03.2023

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...

Denver Shooting Highlights Failures of CO Gun Laws, Criminal Justice System 23.03.2023

Anti-gun activists are being widely mocked by their 2A counterparts after claiming a firearm-themed hoodie featured in a tweet from Sen. Rand Paul actually depicts "AR-15s having sex", is full of sexually explicit and misogynistic imagery, and is grooming kids to become gun-lovers.

Congressional Republicans Aim at Biden's Pistol Brace Rule 16.03.2023

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

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.

NYTimes Frets Over 2A History and the Future of the Gun Control Movement 14.03.2023

The anti-gun media's campaign to delegitimize the Supreme Court's decision in Bruen continues unabated, with the latest salvo fired by the New York Times. But as Cam discusses on today's Bearing Arms' Cam & Co, neither history nor the Constitution are on the side of the gun prohibitionists.

Bruen's 'Chaos' Is a Much-Needed Correction 08.03.2023

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

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. As she recently told a Florida legislative committee, she wants herself and other students to be safe. Toppino joins Cam to discuss her first-time testimony, as well as why she's decided to start using her voice to protect both innocent lives and the fundamen...

NYTimes Targets 'Buy Now, Pay Later' for Gun Owners 06.03.2023

The New York Times (with an assist from the gun control group Giffords) is hinting that gun owners shouldn't be allowed to purchase firearms or gun parts using "buy now, pay later" options by highlighting the case of a California man who was the victim of identity theft when crooks used his information to purchase thousands of dollars of parts and accessories.

Florida Closing in on Permitless Carry 02.03.2023

A Catch-22 For Massachusetts Gun Sellers? 01.03.2023

The Gun Owners Action League's Jim Wallace joins Cam with details on Massachusetts Gov.

The High Cost of Carrying in California 28.02.2023

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.

Researchers Claim Global Warming Leading to More Shootings 27.02.2023

A new study purportedly shows a connection between global warming and increased violence in American cities, but is there real science behind the claim or is just hot air?

Reducing Violence and Respecting 2A Rights Not Mutually Exclusive 23.02.2023

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.
