By Mike Keleher OK, so it’s 2021 and all that 2020 weirdness and onerous COVID stuff is still here- yes just about a year ago we were told we had to restrict ourselves for two or three weeks to “flatten the curve.” I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty flat by now.

(GSL) – Acting like tyrants, America’s big tech companies deplatformed all manner of opposing viewpoints from their services in January. They deleted a number of accounts, including those of President Trump, AR15.com, Second City Cop and plenty of others. Their censorship of Americans’ free speech rights is, in our view, unacceptable. Does anyone thing these oligarchs who run these...

Why does GSL care about some potentially pervy priest in America’s largest open-air shooting range known as Chicago? Because the not-so-saintly priest has waged his...

Coz’s Pizza is very optimistic that they will be open for our February meeting – assuming Joe Biden doesn’t pull some national lockdown bravo sierra upon taking office. In better news, our Peoria GSL meeting is set to take place Thursday...

GunNews haven’t arrived. For anyone. We are well aware of the problem. Once again, we have not found anyone who got their GunNews in December by USPS. You would think Joe Biden is already President or something. Every time we check whether a members’ name and address are correct and on the print list, we have not found errors...

Maybe you just got a new rifle or want to sight in your latest scope. If you’re grabbing ammo for your .223 or 5.56 rifle or “pistol,” assuming you can find any on the shelf anywhere, you might want to take a closer look, especially if you prefer greater accuracy and safety. Hardly discernible to an untrained eye, most...

Sometimes on short notice. For that, we apologize. Now, given new restrictions, we are seeking short-term alternative meeting locations to replace regular venues unable to host us for fear of losing their...

This is a condensed version without a lot of the nuances discussed in person. Last month, we saw the poll that revealed three-quarters of Americans believe a...
