Gun Rights on the Ballot as North Texas Runoff Puts Texas Senate Seat at Risk
Texas Senate District 9 is headed for a January 31 runoff election, and gun owners are being warned not to sleepwalk through a race that could swing a reliably Republican seat into the hands of the gun-confiscation lobby.

Minneapolis Erupts Again as ICE Shooting Sparks 2020-Style Unrest
Minneapolis — the city that became ground zero for the 2020 George Floyd riots — is once again facing unrest after an ICE-involved shooting ignited protests, street disorder, and renewed attacks on federal law enforcement.

NRA Sues Its Own Foundation as LaPierre Loyalists Cry “Corruption” — After Years of Silence
The National Rifle Association is seemingly still trying to clean house after years of alleged financial mismanagement under the former “leadership” of Wayne LaPIerre.

Kyle Rittenhouse Is Back — And the Truth About His Case Still Matters
Kyle Rittenhouse will be the first to tell you this: if he could go back to that night in 2020, he would have stayed home. Being out during violent riots was a poor decision — one he openly acknowledges. It was dangerous. It was chaotic. And it was a situation no one should have been […]

DOJ Finally Takes a Swing at D.C. Gun Ban
For the first time since quietly creating a new Second Amendment Section inside the Civil Rights Division, the Department of Justice has finally done something gun owners have been demanding for years: it sued D.C. over its long-standing gun ban.

Blumenthal Pushes Indefinite “Background Checks”
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) has introduced legislation gun-rights advocates say would function as a de facto federal gun ban, not by outlawing firearms outright, but by allowing the federal government to delay lawful gun purchases indefinitely. The proposal, misleadingly titled the “Background Check Completion Act,” would eliminate the long-standing federal safeguard that allows a firearm […]
DOJ Claims Knives Aren’t Protected by the Second Amendment — The Data, History, and Law Say Otherwise
The Department of Justice recently advanced a remarkable argument in federal court: that certain knives—specifically automatic switchblade knives—are not protected by the Second Amendment. According to the DOJ, knives are supposedly “inherently dangerous,” “easily concealable,” and historically subject to regulation, placing them outside constitutional protection. That claim collapses under even modest scrutiny. The Second Amendment […]
