Tucker Carlson out at FoxNews
Last week, FoxNews "settled" a lawsuit filed by the Dominion Voting System for close to a billion dollars. This week, they "parted ways" with their highest rated personality, Tucker Carlson. They also sacked Dan Bongino. In other words, they tried to out-stupid Bud Light. No, that's not a mistake or…
‘Gun-Free’ zones, ‘Red Flag’ orders make things more dangerous for everyday people
John Lott knows his stuff. Gun control advocates love to pooh-pooh Lott and his work, but Lott's studies are peer-reviewed and following scientific research best practices. Peer-reviewed has a whole new meaning to those who produce gun control junk science - peer reviewed doesn't mean Soros-funded fellow junk science purveyors.…
Three cheers from the boys in Company B

With Chicago crime problem solved, Illinois legislators take on legislation to require air conditioning
Our legislators in Springfield work hard every spring and every fall. They have priorities, too. Oftentimes, the priorities they talk - especially to media and voters - don't match their votes.

DIFFERENT STANDARDS: Alec Baldwin escapes criminal charges after what looks like negligent homicide
Alec Baldwin shot and killed his director of photography on the set of his low-budget movie "Rust" back in 2021.

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE (including correction update): More hearings, rulings expected
Bazooka Tom DeVore reached out to me today to apprise me on some good news. As a non-lawyer, I confused some of the small, but important aspects of his cases. In short, in my update published in GunNews this month, I wrote that DeVore's cases had been stayed until the…
MASTER CAUTION: Chicago anticipating another ‘takeover’ weekend downtown. STAY AWAY, FOLKS.
What's the best way to win a gunfight? Do NOT be there. Chicago is expecting another rehash of last weekend's "takeover" of downtown by a bunch of thugs and hoodlums. Seems they liked all the fun they had last time and they probably liked the media attention their antics drew. …
Litigation Updates, Analysis… Both the Naperville case not getting prelim injunction, and the ‘big four’ case in front of Judge McGlynn
Two YouTube videos worth your time today going into the weekend. First, Todd Vandermyde in his Freedom's Steel page on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals. A key takeaway for me (but maybe you'll key in on something else...) "I'm in a good frame of mind about where we're and…
