MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The mayor of Minneapolis said Sunday that sending active duty soldiers into Minnesota to help with an immigration crackdown is a ridiculous and unconstitutional idea as he urged protesters to remain peaceful so the president won’t see a need to send in the U.S. military.Daily protests have been ongoing throughout January since the Department of Homeland Security ramped up immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul by bringing in more than 2,000 federal officers.Three hotels where protesters have said Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers were staying in the area stopped taking reservations Sunday.…
Democrats across the country are going to be running on “affordability” this election cycle, but there’s one big exception to their push to reduce the cost of living: guns, ammunition, and other items protected by the Second Amendment.

My colleague Tom Knighton has covered Chris Murphy’s bill in Congress that would jack up NFA taxes from their current zero dollars (for…

According to new estimates from the National Shooting Sports Foundation, civilian gun ownership in the United States has surpassed the 500 million mark, reaching an estimated 506.1 million firearms currently in private hands.

The estimate accounts for firearms manufactured domestically and sold within the United States, as well as firearms imported for the commercial market. The data also sheds light on the continued…

That assumption quietly falls apart the moment: You’re injured or knocked off balance You’re using one hand to create…
