This tees up this critical constitutional issue for the U.S. Supreme Court, which has agreed to hear cases challenging bans of these popular semi-automatic in the coming term. To make sense of this issue, Joseph Greenlee, director of the Office of Litigation Counsel at the NRA Institute for Legislative…

Changes recently posted on the Federal Register by the Commerce Department and State Department on July 23 signal a major change for a growing segment of the firearm industry. The rules transfer export licensing of firearm suppressors from the State Department to the Commerce Department. They finish a U.S. Munitions List to Commerce Control List (USML to CCL) transition process launched by the Trump Administration in 2020.

I do not make this pronouncement lightly or gleefully, but solemnly as my family has for generations warned against the dangers of…

On the thirtieth of September, with the Red River commencing to from a northwest direction and the unfamiliar mountains gathering their strange shapes around us, we came to a considerable…
