So it appears that Kyle Rittenhouse has gotten himself into a little spat with one of his fellow Republicans who is promoting sensible AR-15-style gun control laws. Apparently, Kyliepoo doesn’t like this. Rittenhouse, who killed two men with the aforementioned gun and was subsequently acquitted of the killings, is all up in his feels because

Less than a week after Laken Riley was reportedly killed via blunt force trauma by a non-U.S. citizen, President Joe Biden spoke to reporters about his efforts to fight crime and pushed more gun control. Biden said, “I’ve taken more executive actions to stop the flow of illegal guns than any other administration in history.

By Bruce Lloyd The home “Rec” (Recreation Room) was a 20th-century standard in the United States. Spare rooms and basements got the treatment with new walls, fancy furniture and — gasp — even new color TVs. Somehow, this never quite got done in the home I grew up in. Nothing was finished down in the

On Saturday afternoon, MSNBC host Katie Phang allowed liberal activist Fred Guttenberg to indulge in a hateful rant against the NRA and Donald Trump supporters as he declared that he hopes that former NRA head Wayne LaPierre “rots in hell.” It even sounded at one point like he excoriated Trump supporters as the “maggot vote”

The Supreme Court during oral arguments Wednesday wrestled with the Trump-era ban on bump stocks, which convert semi-automatic weapons to fire hundreds of rounds per minute.

More than​ 43,000 people were killed with guns in the United States in 2023. That’s around one death every twelve minutes. More than half of those deaths were suicides or accidents, almost 19,000 were homicides, and guns were among the leading causes of death among children and teenagers.

AUGUSTA, Maine — Democrats in the Maine Legislature have introduced bills covering 72-hour waiting periods on gun purchases and a host of additional violence prevention and mental health initiatives in response to the state’s deadliest mass shooting on record.

Many Americans are practically terrorized into consumption. The interactions I experienced at the gun show strongly resonated with anthropologist Joseph Masco’s argument in his book The Theater of Operations. Masco writes of how the adversarial nature of the Cold War conditioned Americans to a pervasive sense of imminent risk and destruction. The ensuing mindset has

WASHINGTON — Some Supreme Court justices expressed reluctance Wednesday to strike down a ban on “bump stocks,” gun accessories that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more quickly, although the final outcome remains unclear.

The justices will

The Supreme Court will hear arguments Wednesday over whether the federal government can ban devices known as “bump stocks” that allow semi-automatic rifles to act more like a machine gun. The case doesn’t directly involve Second Amendment rights to possess firearms. Instead, it hinges on whether bump stocks meet the definition of machine guns, which

SACRAMENTO —  California lawmakers are weighing a pitch from the White House for states to toughen gun storage rules as legislation languishes in Congress. Even though many states, including California, have laws in place for safely storing guns when children are present, the Biden administration wants them to go further by requiring gun owners to secure

EDITOR: Sadly, it didn’t take long to see a demonstration of the impotence of Governor Whitmer’s gun storage law. A two-year-old child was killed through the negligence of her father (law or not) regarding access to a loaded firearm. Two articles in the Daily Press and other sources provide similar accounts, but also

Two different Ohio Senate committees are set to consider controversial bills Tuesday. One bill would provide a tax credit for donations to so-called “pregnancy distress centers” in Ohio, and the other would ban cities from keeping a list of guns and gun owners.
