In the past few years, critical off-cycle races have happened within the state of Georgia. From the 2017 special election in the Atlanta suburbs that elected Karen Handel – which was at the time the most expensive U.S. House Race in American history – to the dual Senate runoff of January 2021 when Republicans lost two U.S. Senate seats, it seems like everyone has been going down to Georgia to gain a greater grip on power in Washington, D.C. recently.

“AK on my night stand, right next to that Bible.” Well, it’s not necessarily an AK, but the sentiment is still the same. Elon Musk, the tech billionaire — of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter fame — revealed in a tweet shared this morning that on his nightstand he keeps two non-firing firearms, a reprint of George Washington crossing the Delaware, as well as a handful of cans of caffeine-free Diet Coke. The chaotic mix has left water rings across the top of his nightstand due to Musk’s lack of coasters, for which he has “no excuse.” https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1597168382205652994?s=20&t=ANxOdo_ki-PWp2bQPTO7VQ Given Musk’s net…

House Bill 1001 aims to decrease the age requirement for carrying a firearm in the state from 21 to 18 years of age. Based on the way the bill is currently written, only those serving in the military, reservists, veterans or former military members who had been…
Amazon isn’t known to be the most firearms-friendly online retailer. You can’t use their site to buy guns or ammunition.

This brass bottle opener is made from a 50-cal shell…

The Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) is keeping up the fight against California’s ban on gun shows, which was enacted in July of this year after being passed through the legislature. The latest move in the case comes today, in which SAF and allied groups are presenting the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California with a 33-page memorandum on the ban. The memorandum notes, “There is no evidence that California’s gun shows—already more heavily regulated than other avenues for firearm sales—pose some unique threat to public safety. And California has identified no other compelling interest that might justify…
The Youngkin administration’s recent curriculum proposals were called out on MSNBC this weekend by 1619 Project author Nikole Hannah-Jones. While appearing on MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Hannah-Jones told the show’s fill-in host Maria Teresa Kumar, that “Glenn Youngkin ran his campaign on this idea of teaching a more sanitized history that would protect the feelings of white children. We know that history and how it’s taught has always been contested in the United States.” Fox News reports: “Hannah-Jones accused Youngkin and his conservative allies of teaching history that leaves out crucial things which happened. “And this new curriculum is occurring in Virginia…
