Governor Northam (D) has a plan to reduce the number and types of firearms Virginia residents can purchase and possess.

Celebrities don’t have a stellar track record commenting on gun policy as admitted “felon” Ashton Kutcher proved (once again) earlier this year. Rock band The Killers and Jamie Foxx maintained that trend earlier this week.

Springfield is kicking off 2019 with a complete line of AR-pattern rifles, pistols and short-barreled rifles with the Victor series.

The neighbors who took in Jayme Closs, a Wisconsin teen who disappeared two months ago after her parents were found murdered, were ready in case the kidnapper returned looking for his victim.

“When our neighbor Jeanne came in with Jayme, she said: ‘Get a gun. We don’t know if he’s after us,’” Kristin Kasinskas told Fox News. “So we were armed and ready in case this person showed up.”

But an excessive amount of steel isn’t exactly fun to carry and is often frowned upon by polite society. Much like guns, for discreet carry purposes, smaller is better.

The Democrat-controlled Oregon legislature would become the most restrictive state in the Union with a new raft of gun-control measures set to be considered in this year’s legislative session. Among other restrictions, SB 501 would require a permit to purchase any kind of firearm, cap magazine capacity at five rounds, limit ammo purchases to 20-rounds per month, and delay firearms transfer for 14 days.

The trigger is the primary interface between shooter and handgun. The pull weight, angle, and length of the trigger are all critical variables in the ability of the shooter to break the shot without moving the sights. This is the very essence of marksmanship in any sport.

Democrats didn’t waste any time proposing a universal background check bill and an “assault weapons” ban when they took control of the U.S. House, but a newly released survey from the Department of Justice indicates (once again) that neither policy is likely to reduce crime.

I further contend that you can be involved in a gunfight even if you don’t have a gun. In that situation, my rule about not getting shot becomes all the more important.
