Following the fatal shooting of a 12-year-old boy in the North York area of greater Toronto, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a press conference there will be new gun control legislation soon.
But Toronto Sun columnist Brian Lilley essentially “cracked the code” over the weekend when he wrote, “…the Trudeau government insists they are dealing with gun crime. Of course their idea of dealing with gun crimes is to seize guns, not deal with criminals, and the only guns they know how to seize are the ones owned by legal gun owners.” |

A Gallup survey released Monday finds Americans’ support for stricter gun control laws has fallen back to the lower levels witnessed in 2016.
According to Gallup, support for more gun control has fallen seven percent since last year alone. Americans’ overall support for more gun control stands at 57 percent, down substantially from the 67 witnessed in 2018, and way down from the 78 percent support seen in 1990.

The Winchester didn’t come gift-wrapped, as I had imagined it would. A year older than me, my brother had been given his first .22 on Christmas the year before. I waited a year to advance in levels of responsibility granted to my brother. Since he received a .22 rifle the year before, it seemed Christmas is when I would receive one.
I don’t know why it was presented early but on a September afternoon when I got home from school, Dad handed the rifle to me. The bolt action .22 was full-sized. I had been learning on his rifles and it was a bit big for me, but in those days you just grew into guns that would serve for a lifetime.

A former officer with the Arcola Police Department has been indicted on federal civil rights violations after being accused of sexual abuse and kidnapping while he was on duty.
The 25-year-old was indicted on November 10 and was taken into custody Monday.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said Ruiz is being charged with two counts of "depriving two separate victims of their right to bodily integrity."
If convicted, he faces life in prison.
Ruiz also faces charges of two counts of carrying and using a firearm in a crime of violence as well as falsifying dashboard camera and body microphone recordings with the intent to obstruct the federal investigation. |

A report from the NRA-ILA suggests the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is already working with former Vice President Joe Biden to go after AR-15 pistol braces.
On October 7, 2020, Breitbart News reported that the ATF reclassified a small sliver of AR-15 pistols with stabilizer braces as Short Barrel Rifles (SBRs), thereby placing them under the purview of the National Firearms Act (NFA).

While votes still are being counted in the presidential election, one thing is perfectly clear—the stakes never have been higher for the Second Amendment. Neither Democratic nominee Joe Biden nor his running mate, Sen. Kamala Harris of California, believe that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms. In other words, according to them, the government may restrict law-abiding citizens’ ability to possess any firearm, and for any reason.

The first gift I bought my wife after we began dating was a Ruger MK II .22-caliber pistol. So, I’m a romantic fool, what can I say? Or maybe, I wanted her to have the means to protect herself as I shared my love of shooting with her. While some may scoff at the idea of the lowly .22 as a defensive tool, it has a lot going for it. Let me share 10 reasons why you should consider the .22 for personal or home defense.

Range Safety Officer Shot, Killed During USPSA Match

A Range Safety Officer working a match in New York recently was the victim of a negligent discharge. The 67-year-old was a long term member of the indoor club hosting the competition. He was struck once and died at the scene. Both the range and the media labeled it an accident and, of course, by that, they meant that it was not intentional, and there is no doubt about that. However, we all know that this was the result of someone negligently handling their firearm. The four universal safety rules are not hard to follow, but this is a good reminder that we can never let ourselves get careless with them.

Empowered by its landmark 2010 Supreme Court victory in McDonald v. City of Chicago, which nullified the Windy City’s handgun ban and incorporated the Second Amendment to the states via the 14th Amendment, the Second Amendment Foundation—a scrappy gun rights group based in Washington State—has become a legal powerhouse that is now targeting at least three states for their alleged arbitrary, prohibitive concealed carry laws. |

Over the last decade, many shooters have come to understand that handguns with optics—specifically compact reflex sights—offer fast target acquisition in any light and improve accuracy without adding a lot of bulk to your pistol. This has led to increasing demand for red dot-equipped handguns which has, in turn, prompted more firearm manufacturers to offer optics-ready pistol models for personal defense. From full-sized guns to light, subcompact EDC pistols, odds are you can now order optics-ready guns from your favorite gun maker. If you’re considering joining the red dot revolution, these eight great optics-ready guns are an excellent place to start.

Although voters in November’s election had a refreshing break from initiatives to impose new gun-control laws, there was a pro-gun ballot measure this fall in Big Sky Country. LR 130, a ballot measure to limit local government authority to regulate firearms, was supported by the NRA and approved by Montana’s voters. Voters had to contend with a barrage of misinformation along with the typical outsized spending by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety to defeat the measure. |

The view was instantly brighter, details sharper. In hand, it was lighter than any binocular I’d yet carried afield. And it was less expensive! A field test came to mind… But, to use a product well — certainly to test it intelligently — you must know something about it. So began my slow journey down the path to optical literacy. |

For those who love big bore revolvers, the .454 Casull (pronounced like KA-sool) is often a favorite. Longer than the .45 Long Colt and much more powerful, this ammunition spent more than half of its life as a popular wildcat, not becoming a standard, factory round until it’d been in the handloader arena for over 40 years. |

Springfield Armory this week expanded its popular Ronin series of 1911s with a Government-sized 10mm Auto option that retails for about $850. As with the rest of the Ronin line, which has only been added to SA's catalog in the past year, the newest variant is a two-toned pistol consisting of a stainless steel forged frame married to a forged carbon steel slide that has been salt blued. While the gun evokes memories of custom M1911 rigs of the 1980s, SA says it blends old school looks with modern manufacturing to produce something different from the rest of the pack.

TO REMEMBER |
| Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
