“The fight is on and the NRA is ALL IN!” says NRA CEO and EVP Wayne LaPierre at the 2012 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Washington, D.C. “When the sun goes down on election day,” he says, “Barack Obama will have America’s gun owners to thank for his defeat.”

Why I No Longer Hate Starbucks
I am not a trendy person. I hate anything that’s trendy and that used to include Starbucks. I’ve probably been their less than five times in my life and that was when my wife or a friend would drag me there. First, I don’t drink coffee. Second, I could never figure out why it was [...]
Senate Moves on Bill to “Muzzle the Web”
By now, you are no doubt aware that several websites have either gone totally or partially “dark” today in protest of the pernicious internet legislation that will be coming to a vote next week. Wikipedia and Google are just two of the websites which are protesting in this manner. And while you may have not [...]

The House passed national concealed carry reciprocity legislation on Wednesday evening by a vote of 272-154.

National Right-to-Carry Bill Under Attack
The U.S. House Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security recently held a hearing on H.R. 822, the “National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011.” This critically important bill, introduced earlier this year by Congressmen Cliff Stearns (R-Fla.) and Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) and cosponsored by more than 240 of their colleagues, would enable millions [...]
Mitt Romney and Gun Control
In the recent Presidential debate, Congresswoman Michelle Bachmann said America’s voters did not need to “settle” for the moderate candidate. Amen to that. And gun owners do NOT want candidates who talk out of both sides of their mouths. As the Gun Owners of America’s Board of Directors looks at the Republican candidates running to [...]
Will the Second Amendment Come Under Fire this Month?
Within the next month, Congress will be taking actions that will impact our Second Amendment rights. Here’s what we’re facing. On or about September 30, Congress will consider a “continuing resolution” (CR) to fund the government from October 1, 2011 to September 30, 2012. Well, you can be sure about this — when it comes [...]
Legislation Will Protect Gun Rights on Army Corps of Engineers Land
Gun Owners of America is working with several members of Congress to repeal a gun ban on land controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. Currently, guns are prohibited on Corps land, even when firearms possession is otherwise allowed by state law. Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-OH) introduced legislation—the Recreational Lands Self-Defense Act (H.R. 1865)—to [...]
Gun Sales Continue to Rise
An E-mail from the Buckeye Firearms Association recently contained a short piece: “July sees 8.3% increase in firearms sales checks over same month last year; 14th straight month over month increase”. While the statistics are interesting, what would be more interesting is, why? In 2009, the Outdoor Wire, the nation’s largest daily electronic news service [...]
Presidential Race Heats Up: Where Do They Stand on the Second Amendment?
With the Iowa straw poll concluding over the weekend, the 2012 presidential race is in full swing. The Republican field is taking shape, with one governor dropping out (Tim Pawlenty) and another jumping in (Rick Perry). But one question that remains for gun owners is where do the candidates stand on gun control issues? Even [...]
Senator Thune Introducing Another National Reciprocity Bill
Sen. John R. Thune, R-S.D. says he will be introducing a new national concealed carry bill in just a few weeks. His 2009 National Reciprocity Bill S. 845 (see below) received 58 votes but that number is slightly deceiving. Some Democrats knowing he would not receive enough votes may have votes for him just to get a pro-gun [...]
Your Tax Dollars were Used to Purchase Guns and Run Them into Mexico
Well, the other shoe has dropped. We’ve known for several months that the Obama Administration was turning a blind eye to — and even encouraged — suspected gun smugglers who were purchasing firearms from gun stores in the southwest. But now we know the rest of the story: Your tax money was used to buy [...]
