By Grace Stevens The Truth About Guns DeSantis is a target because he has been massively successful in Florida and his policies have garnered him an increase in the black vote in the last election. Democrats in the Sunshine State are in disarray, and their desperation comes across in blaming the governor for this racist shooting. Of course, it’s not just DeSantis getting tarred with the blame. It’s any Republican. Tim Scott and Nikki Haley both got a mention in the AP piece, and [Steve] Peoples and [Brendan] Farrington made sure to insert their ignorant opinion that “Republicans have little…

By Tom Knighton Bearing Arms We write a fair bit about armed citizen stories. We’re far from alone as well, with most of the pro-gun media covering various stories about regular folks using firearms to defend themselves from violent criminals.

We’ve taken all three “Taken” movies and picked out our top five gun choices. It’s hard…
