NRA - ILA

Gun control supporters demand that state legislatures impose a wide variety of gun control restrictions within their borders.

Where Are All The Guns?

Published on: 5/15/2021
Where are all the guns? If you walk into any gun store these days, you are likely to hear this question uttered across the counter. With more than five million law-abiding citizens making their first purchase, it is no wonder that we are seeing a shortage of just about every type of firearm on the market. The follow-up questions, of course, are “Why's it taking so long to recover?” and “What is being done to replenish the market?” Curious myself, I reached out to some of the biggest manufacturers to find out what their new production approach was and maybe even get a little peek behind the curtain.

Actually, gun restrictions will target the black community
David S. D'amato - The Hill
Published on: 4/17/2021
Back-to-back mass-shooting tragedies in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio have led predictably to a chorus of mainstream progressives begging for government to curtail or take away our individual rights. The refrain is a familiar one: confronted with such tragedies, only hardcore right-wingers would oppose gun-control measures. Neither side of the debate seems to seriously question the premise that strong support of protections for individual gun ownership belongs to the political right, but is there any reason in principle to accept this premise?
