Police reclaimed the East Precinct headquarters, which had been the focal point of protests that originally led to the CHOP occupation. |

Presumptive Democrat presidential nominee Joe Biden is likely to pick Sen. Kamala Harris, the vehemently anti-gun-rights California senator and former attorney general, as his running mate, according to speculation from conservative columnist Miranda Devine, who appeared on Fox & Friends Tuesday.
Biden already declared anti-gun former Texas Congressman Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke as his point man on guns if the former vice president wins in November. It would stand to reason Biden would want to surround himself with like-minded gun prohibitionists, and he is under mounting pressure to appoint a “woman of color” as his veep pick. |

But this year, the Lone Star State set a record high for the number of firearm background checks conducted in the month of June. Businesses that regularly sell firearms are required to process background checks through the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). |

When Springfield Armory launched its innovative Hellcat micro-compact pistol in 2019, the company took steps to highlight the durability of this dedicated defensive pistol.

Now, that same gun did it again, going 20,000 rounds with no gun-related issues.

We want to welcome the gun owners Class 0f 2020! The first 5 months of 2020, on a monthly basis, has broken every January, February, March, April, and May record of the past 10 years. The numbers are truly overwhelming, and many are first-time gun owners. According to the NSSF, “More than 2 million Americans became first-time gun owners this year.” Firearms retailers estimated that 40 percent of their gun sales during the first four months of 2020 were to first-time buyers, and women accounted for a very large portion of the new sales.

The most accomplished of liars eventually come to believe their own lies. And so it is that the people who have been insisting for years that “nobody wants to take away your guns” cannot stop repeating that lie even when they are openly proposing the confiscation of the most commonly owned firearms in the United States. In March, Joe Biden threatened to slap a construction worker from Michigan after the worker told him he was worried that Biden wanted to “take away our guns.” “I’m not taking your gun away at all,” Biden said angrily, pointing his finger in the man’s face and cursing at him. “That’s bull----.” For this outburst, Biden was widely praised in the press. |

The debate over gun control and the Second Amendment has been a highly contentious one, and the results of the 2020 presidential election could prove to be highly consequential for the gun debate. With presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden holding a lead over President Donald Trump, according to RealClearPolitics polling, a look at Democratic voter priorities and legislation passed by House Democrats could provide an indication of what the Second Amendment might look like in 2021 under a President Biden.

Introduced in 1898 as a black powder cartridge, the .38 Special could be considered obsolete. But it survived the shift to smokeless powder and has become a standard for competitive revolver shooters. Recent years, however, have seen two even more “obsolete” .38 cartridges gaining serious ground. The .38 Long Colt (LC) and the .38 Short Colt (SC) predate the .38 Special (Spl.) by several decades. They’re identical to the .38 Spl. in all respects except for their case length. They’re nothing more than a shorter .38 Spl. |

In practice, Hunting Simulator 2 is exactly what it claims to be: a simulation for you to build and utilize your hunting skills to take down targets of all sizes, from small ducks to large bears. By searching for signs of animals, such as footprints or eaten vegetation, you track down these animals in the hopes that you can kill them in return for a varying number of credits or a trophy to put on your lodge’s wall. After a short tutorial sequence, you’re given free reign of how you want to take control of your hunting experience. It lets you roam its environments without mission markers or a voice in your ear, allowing you to hunt whichever animals you want however you want.

A board overseeing Michigan’s Capitol determined Tuesday that it has the legal authority to decide whether guns will continue to be allowed in the building and on its grounds.
The Michigan State Capitol Commission reviewed a formal legal opinion by Democratic Attorney General Dana Nessel that said the board had the power to prohibit firearms at the Capitol.
In April, a number of people carrying semi-automatic weapons and other guns took part in a protest at the Capitol over Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s orders that closed many businesses in the state to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus.
