Canada is not the 51st state. While Trump keeps talking about it, I’m sincerely hoping this is just him trolling, because I sure as heck don’t want Canada to have any say in American politics.
The last thing we need is yet another anti-gun state in the nation, especially when I’m still kind of hoping Denmark buys California.
This is the weirdest timeline ever.
The term “gun death” is fairly problematic in a lot of ways. First, guns aren’t dying, so there’s that.
Moreover, it treats all deaths resulting from a gunshot as somehow equal. We don’t see numbers for everyone who dies as the result of an edged implement like a knife or razorblade, for example. We don’t see “gravity deaths” that include people who jump off of a bridge and those tossed out of a 14th story window.
It’s just the guns.
179 new firearm models are being banned today.
This is the 3rd ban of firearms by specific make and model: May 1 2020, Dec 5 2024, and now March 7 2025.
Remember: not one firearm that has been "banned" in almost 5 years has been confiscated from a licensed individual.
Not one.…

Americans who have never owned guns before are now buying their first firearms and reveal they feel compelled to be armed for a variety of different reasons.
Over the Covid-19 pandemic, an estimated 7.5million American adults became new gun owners, half were women, 20 percent were black, and 20 percent were Hispanic, according to Harvard researchers.
Not only is gun ownership becoming more diverse across race and gender, but it also appears to have bridged a divide between political beliefs as more democrats arm themselves.
Media scream, “Too many people have guns!”
Second Amendment activist Maj Toure says more people should carry guns.
I’m not exactly a tech bro by any stretch of the imagination. I love seeing new technology and all the ways it can make our lives better, but I generally don’t get overly excited by new technology. I’ve seen too many things hyped up as the next big then only to fizzle on the vine. Please tell me I’m not the only one who remembers Google Glass, just to name one example.
A leading gun control group is accusing the Liberal government of watering down a promise to ensure firearms are properly scrutinized before entering the Canadian market.
The government recently published proposed regulations aimed at ensuring all gun makes and models for sale in Canada are known to the federal firearms registrar.
There is currently no obligation for businesses that import or manufacture firearms to share technical specifications with authorities, meaning guns could go on the market without being fully assessed
Among the most significant advances in upholding the Second Amendment has been the spread of Constitutional Carry (CC). Circa January 2024, 29 states allow CC …
Kennesaw, Georgia, has all the small-town fixings one might imagine in the American South.
There’s the smell of baked biscuits wafting from Honeysuckle Biscuits & Bakery and the rumble of a nearby railroad train. It’s the kind of place where newlyweds leave hand-written thank-you cards in coffee shops, praising the “cozy” atmosphere.
But there’s another aspect of Kennesaw that some might find surprising – a city law from the 1980s that legally requires residents to own guns and ammo.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberals in Monday’s Fall Economic Statement indicated plans to spend $597.9 Million over three years to confiscate Canadians’ firearms.
So far Ottawa has blown through roughly $100 million already in attempts to collect government-licensed firearms — without collecting a single gun.
Right from the beginning, experts have told the prime minister that his gun ban and buyback will divert resources away from fighting crime rather than making Canada safer.
Instead of changing course, the Trudeau government announced it’s diverting even more taxpayers’ money to its failing gun policy policy.
And it’s an expensive diversion.
Montana’s Attorney General Austin Knudsen said he has received a request from the RCMP seeking to conduct surveillance at two upcoming gun shows in his state—a request that he strongly opposes.
Knudsen said the Division of Criminal Investigation in the Montana Department of Justice recently received the RCMP request regarding gun shows in Bozeman and Kalispell. Knudsen said he will try to prevent the RCMP from coming.
Gallup polls blew it. I’ve already talked a bit about that, of course. It’s kind of funny that they blew it because while they’re still claiming that people support gun control, they don’t seem to have an answer about why it played such a non-existent roll in the 2024 presidential election. I hit on part of why that’s the case.
It doesn’t seem like the idea that guns aren’t really the problem, people are, would be a contentious point. After all, no one seems to believe that a gun just randomly goes off and kills people. No one buys the idea that guns make people homicidal, either.
Yet some people are absolutely convinced that the issue is that guns are available. I guess they figure it’s far better to be stabbed 24 times than be shot or something.
