We Defend Your Right to Defend Yourself
Sunday morning, July 5, 2026, started like any other at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Effingham: volunteers arriving, doors opening, ordinary work before worship. Then a man in a stolen car walked in and asked for the pastor. Church security did not treat that request as automatically holy. They noticed…
Lookie what landed in the inbox before coffee: a cease-and-desist. Number 25 in thirty-some years of telling the truth in public. I must be slacking. I stacked 18 of these in the first ten years of helping run the GSL site alone. The old ones came from real firms with…
The pack that tried to murder a child in his own house will not slink off. They’re threatening the single mother who stopped the slaughter—and her children. On Facebook, the knife boy’s mommy is organizing a pity parade: “Justice for Jasiyah.” On the streets they're talking blood vengeance. Justice. For…
On the night of July 4, 2025, a pack of black-bloc activists, otherwise known as social misfits, rolled up to the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Alvarado, Texas, dressed like they were heading to a cosplay riot and armed like they expected one.

In a state that treats law-abiding gun owners like the enemy while soft-on-crime policies leave streets soaked in blood, GunNews is the monthly reality check the rest of the media refuses to print. Chicago’s murder rate triples Florida’s. “Peacekeepers” turn predators. Courts punish speech harder than child rape. Scammers sell…
Last month in GunNews, you covered emergency preparations for storm season as part of one of your speakers at a meeting. Well, Mother Nature delivered a serious test last Thursday [June 11]. A major storm system ripped through my region of the state and others, spawning multiple tornadoes—including some that…
The Second Amendment remains a God-given fundamental right that belongs to all Americans. Despite the efforts of some politicians and judges, it belongs to all Americans, regardless of their zip code or political beliefs. At the same time this doesn't mean every group automatically earns a seat at the table…
Armed citizens should exercise extreme reticence before inserting themselves into conflicts involving third parties, including active deadly force incidents involving police and criminals. The same prudent hesitation you would apply to any third-party conflict applies to police-involved situations—only more so. You’re risking a great deal, and you must be dead…
We talk about turning lemons into lemonade routinely here at Guns Save Life. After all, we live in Illinois. But imagine turning banana pudding into felony murder. How senseless would that be? Yet for some illiterate gang thugs in Florida, that's just what happened. And now one is crying the…
