Jeans maker Levi Strauss & Co. has unequivocally aligned itself with the anti-gun left. They make no bones about their anti-Second Amendment corporate stance and have gone out of their way to cozy up with the likes of Michael Bloomberg’s maternal sock puppet, Shannon Watts.

Law abiding gun owners don’t appreciate being made to pay for the sins of a few unstable, crazy individuals. Particularly those who openly state that their intent is to bring about more gun control and limits on the right to keep and bear arms.

Somehow the hundreds of thousands of defensive gun uses that occur annually never seem to make it into these reports. Must be an oversight.

Tyler Kee reviewed the Right Now Range (v1.0) in 2015, exclaiming that it was the “most words that have ever been written about cardboard.” Upon receipt of a test sample…of cardboard…I chuckled at the thought.

I’ve come around on the Remington R51. In my initial review in 2014 I wasn’t a fan, and the gun didn’t seem ready for prime time. Two years later, Remington had worked out the bugs earning the re-reviewed gun a four star rating. I kept the handgun used in that review and have been shooting […]

By NRA-ILA After signing six gun control measures into law a year ago, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy warned that “Our work is far from done.” Several new bills are now making the rounds in a state already notorious for its extreme and oppressive firearm laws.

If you’re going to leave a firearm unattended in your vehicle, you need to do it as securely as possible.
