Pity poor Joe Biden. Every day he’s out in public he serves as the poster child for diminished mental capacity. Add in some inappropriate touching of women and children, and you’ve got a day in the life of Beijing Joe. Earlier this week, he paused in a sympathetic Delaware church to dispense more of...

Murder City, USA lived up to its well-deserved nickname last weekend with 24 killed and scores more wounded. Then earlier this week, Mayor Lightfoot acknowledged that a crush of 911 calls had overwhelmed both the 911 system and Chicago Police Department. But she also told her city’s residents that, if trouble comes their way,...

A lot of people thought Barack Obama earned the title of America’s best gun salesman. No more. Democrats, foaming at the mouth with chronic TDS, demanding more gun control and promising confiscations, along with a pandemic and, at the end of the month, nationwide rioting and looting, have caused gun sales to spike in...

A “peaceful” George Floyd protest rally nearly turned into a bloodbath as a radical leftist brought a rifle. While open carrying a rifle in Texas remains perfectly legal, brandishing it to “off racists and MAGA people” is not. Cops initially arrested 25-year-old Emmanuel Quinones Saturday after he brandished his AR-15 rifle at a rally...

We’ve all seen it outside of big cities – and even in some big cities like Indianapolis. You’ll see a police squad parked at the home of a cop. Some agencies allow these “take home” squads with the idea that officers will take better care of “their” car and it increases the perception of...

Who needs one of America’s favorite rifles to defend themselves and their families? How about a shop owner in Dallas who tried to defend his business from scores of looters? Unfortunately for the merchant, he didn’t have a gun and the feral mob swarmed him. He confronted them with a sword. They beat and...

The time for flowery talk and hugs is over. The nationwide orgy of looting has NOTHING to do with a cop in Minneapolis killing a black man. It’s time for law enforcement in McLean County – and elsewhere across Illinois and America – to take action against looters. These hooligans aren’t protesting at oh-dark-thirty. They’re...

We regret to announce the cancellation of GSL’s June sequence of meetings across Illinois. Governor Pritzker still hasn’t released his grip around the neck of Illinois sufficiently for us to hold the meetings. We expect to return in July, but it’s more about what our host venues will allow. Stay tuned to Guns Save...
