The owner of the Bullets & Beans gun shop in Hamilton will have to wait three more weeks to find out if he can start selling coffee—something he’s tried to do for more than two years. After an hour-long work session Tuesday morning, the Hamilton Town Council agreed to vote Oct. 15 on a proposal to grant a 6-month trial period that would allow the gun shop to sell coffee in the town’s Retail Sales & Service Commercial District. If the vote goes through, the shop’s owner, Kevin Jones, will be given the chance to prove that his coffee sales won’t negatively affect the town. |

A slightly scaled back amendment to Missoula’s ordinance banning concealed or open carrying of firearms in certain locations is expected to be discussed during the next two weeks prior to an Oct. 15 public hearing. The initial proposed amendment by council member Julie Merritt added the prohibition to the Missoula City Council chambers, any building where the City Council meets, public art museums, the public library, public parks under the city’s jurisdiction, and “any other locations of public assembly where persons gather together to conduct and/or administer any public election while election related activities are taking place.”

The entertainment industry leans heavily to the left. This political lean is especially true to in the punk rock scene, but not every punk rocker out there drinks the proverbial Kool-Aid. Recently Michale Graves had his upcoming sold-out performance at the Up + Downtown Music Festival canceled for his political beliefs that don't fall in line with the groupthink of the day. The former Misfits singer doesn't shy away from his libertarian beliefs or his love of guns. In fact, Graves embarrasses it!

Ballotpedia quotes I-1639’s text, noting that the initiative is focused on “semiautomatic assault rifles.” The framers of the initiative define a “semiautomatic assault rifle” as “any rifle which utilizes a portion of the energy of a firing cartridge to extract the fired cartridge case and chamber the next round, and which requires a separate pull of the trigger to fire each cartridge.”

The National Rifle Association (NRA) endorsed Wes Allen in his race for the Alabama House of Representatives in District 89, the group announced Monday. An endorsement from the NRA‘s Political Action Committee, the NRA Political Victory Fund (NRA-PVF), can be a game changer for many candidates. “When provided with the facts, the nation’s elected officials will recognize that “gun control” schemes are an infringement on the Second Amendment and a proven failure in fighting crime” says the fund. “The importance of this premise lies in the knowledge that, as one U.S. Congressman put it: ‘The gun lobby is people.’”

SilencerCo Celebrates their 10th Anniversary with the Release of the Switchback

SilencerCo has unveiled a new .22 suppressor that is aimed to silence the rimfire market and to commemorate the company’s 10-year anniversary. The Switchback 22 allows users to choose between three lengths, with the long configuration optimized for either a pistol or rifle host. As the most versatile rimfire silencer ever developed, the Switchback 22 is the first to use rocket propulsion principles. This approach to engineering results in non-intuitive baffle reversal and reduces the sound report on a .22LR rifle to an unheard-of 108 dB (with subsonic ammunition).

Democrats love to claim they love groups they actually hate. Take blacks, for example. Democrats, and the fake news media, are always telling us how much they love blacks. But we know that's not true because Democrats are doing nothing while thousands of blacks are shot each year in Democratic-run cities.

Odds are that any American reading this article doesn’t have family serving in the military. That’s the case for most Americans, perhaps especially the folks who read Foreign Policy magazine. In the United States, privately educated and upper-income people are strikingly unlikely to serve or to encourage their children to do so—only 3 percent of military recruits attended private high schools—even more so if they’re from the northern or coastal states, which are the most underrepresented areas for recruiting. U.S. military service can seem foreign or frightening. That’s a mistake—and it’s bad for the country.

The Washington Post determined on Tuesday that Democratic Rep. Robert O’Rourke gave a false statement when he claimed that he did not attempt to flee the scene after crashing his car while drunk in 1998. “I did not try to leave the scene of the accident, though driving drunk, which I did, is a terrible mistake for which there is no excuse or justification or defense, and I will not try to provide one,” O’Rourke claimed during his debate against Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas on Friday.

Tuesday is National Voter Registration Day, and Levi Strauss and Snapchat are looking to help improve on the dismal participation rate seen in 2016 -- that election saw the lowest rate of eligible voters casting ballots in 72 years. The 165-year-old denim brand this week debuted a television spot showing a diverse group voting against the backdrop of the 1968 Aretha Franklin song "Think." It's also hosting voter registration booths in some stores and selling a limited edition "Vote" T-shirt, working with the nonpartisan, nonprofit organization Rock the Vote to increase awareness and turnout, particularly among younger Americans.

Mayor Emanuel, Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson plus the FBI and ATF are celebrating the confiscation of 7,000 illegal guns so far this year in Chicago. More than a thousand of them were taken in the south side’s 6th police district in part because of co-operation from the community. Standing next to a table of confiscated guns, Rahm again called on Governor Rauner to sign the gun dealer licensing bill on his desk, asking “Is he going to use his pen or his politics?”

Since the February school shooting in Parkland, Florida, that ignited a national outcry for stricter gun laws, gun safety-aligned candidates and gun safety advocates have been hellbent on translating that outrage into the midterm turnout. Now, both national gun groups and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee—whose entire purpose is to turn the House blue—have announced massive advertising campaigns that seek to increase voter turnout for candidates committed to gun safety measures and hammer vulnerable Republican House members who have stood in the way of gun reform.

Dozens of people packed into St. John’s Lutheran Church in Sacramento on Sunday for the Concert Across America to End Gun Violence. Musicians, activists and people of faith banded together, along with other congregations across the country, to honor the victims of gun violence and work toward prevention in their memory. “I always thought I was donating to help keep other people safe. I never thought that I personally would be touched by gun violence,” said Amanda Wilcox, who is a co-leader of the Sacramento chapter of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence that organized the local concert. “But in January 2001, my daughter was killed in a rampage shooting.”
