March 10, 2021 One of the biggest battles we have going on in the Second Amendment community is the matter of possession outside the home.

March 9, 2021 Massachusetts has some of the strictest gun laws in the Union. With provisions in their law like requiring a Firearms Identification card or License to Carry in order to purchase and possess a gun, it’s baffling how there are any illegal firearms at all.
March 9, 2021 Something that everyone’s attention should be drawn to is H.R. 1: For the People Act of 2021. What is H.R. 1? It’s a bill that essentially automatically registers “eligible” people to vote in federal elections.
