3 Reason Why We Need More Good People WIth Guns

As the old adage goes, when more good people have guns, the more likely they are to stop bad people with guns.

Hilary Duff Gets a Gun To Empower Herself

It’s refreshing to see a Hollywood actress want to take matters into her own hands and empower herself with a firearm. Too many women in the entertainment industry have succumbed to radical feminism, so it’s refreshing to see the former Lizzie McGuire actress blaze a trail for gun-toting women in La La Land.

NOVA Firearms won’t open Arlington Shop due to bullying from anti-gunners

News broke yesterday that McLean-based NOVA Firearms, which was slated to open its second shop in Arlington next month, canceled plans altogether following harassment from Michael Bloomberg and other anti-gun activists. I wrote about the gun shop back in May and supported their efforts to open the Arlington shop. James “JB” Gates of NOVA Firearms emailed me the following update regarding this development: As of July 20, 2015, Nova Firearms has canceled its plans to open an additional location in Arlington, Virginia. We wish to thank our many friends, customers, and supporters who have stood by us during our recent attempt to expand our business. We now plan to explore better opportunities in the area to expand our business so that we can continue to serve our customers, including those in Arlington. For the record, our interest in Arlington began only when a representative of the Arlington landlord asked...

Support the Freedom to Carry

I’ve penned a new op-ed at Counter Cultured on the freedom to carry–constitutional carry–in all 50 states. Last week, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage in all 50 states by citing the 14th Amendment as justification for this. While this ruling was disappointing – government has now redefined marriage – we must promote a culture of marriage without quick legislative fixes or government intervention. If one positive thing has come out of this ruling, it gives the 14th Amendment license to be applied to gun rights with respect to the right to carry. Section I of the 14th Amendment reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States;...

#WEARINGORANGE Campaign Pushes Same Old Gun Control Narrative

Countless celebrities, politicians, and other public figures have tweeted pictures with the hashtag #WearingOrange to draw attention to National Gun Violence Awareness Day. Sounds like a noble cause, right? I don’t personally know anyone who’s for senseless violence–do you? What could possibly be wrong with this occasion? Plenty of things. Why be skeptical? It’s an effort headed up by Michael Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, the parent organization of Moms Demand Action and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Both of these groups are also notorious for their anti-gun, pro-disarmament positions. They exploit tragedies and profit from fearmongering. Several people have tweeted me saying this is a nonpartisan, moderate campaign. The list of featured sponsors suggests otherwise: Amnesty International Brady Campaign The Campaign to Keep Guns Off Campus Center for American Progress Coalition to Stop Gun Violence Media Matters for America Moveon.org National Action Network Unite Blue The anti-gun crowd has...

Appearance on NRA News Criticizing Everytown’s Misogynistic Campaign Against Young Women

I appeared on NRA News on Tuesday, March 24th, 2015, to discuss the problem with Everytown for Gun Safety’s latest misinformation campaign targeting young women who support gun rights and concealed carry. Here’s more on the appearance from the NRA News: Gabriella Hoffman has written about Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety, and its assertion that young women can’t handle firearms. A series of tweets from the gun control group characterizes young women as drunk, irresponsible, and a danger to themselves. Hoffman describes the responsible behavior of young gun owners, and the effect of reduced crime from concealed carry on campus. Originally aired on NRA News Cam & Co 03/24/15. (Below is Gabriella’s original article -Tony) Everytown for Gun Safety, a Michael Bloomberg-funded arm of the gun control lobby, issued a series of tweets last week suggesting college-aged women are too dumb to handle firearms. Below are the two questionable tweets: “You...

Concealed Carry Can Help Reduce Sexual Assault at Universities

In a time where sexual assault is on the rise at American universities, it’s important to curb this trend by effective means. How can universities best address and eradicate the threat of sexual assault on campus? Allow concealed carry on campus. Seven states–Wyoming, Montana,Florida, Texas, Indiana, North Dakota, and now South Dakota–are considering legislation to permit concealed carry at universities. As more Americans channel support for gun rights over gun control, legislation to repeal gun-free zones and permit concealed carry should be deliberated in more states. Universities are gun-free zones, which make them prime targets for criminals. Evidence shows that gun-free zones don’t deter crime; they enable them. No sign will stop a criminal; a good guy/girl with a gun will. When young women and men are allowed to practice concealed carry on campus, they-not administrators or bureaucrats–are in control of their own lives. Concealed carry is effective because...

Ukraine is Defenseless Against Russian Attack Due to ’05 $48 Million Grant Sen Obama Secured To Destroy Its Guns, Ammo

With much hype surrounding whether or not the U.S. should aid Ukraine against Russian attack this week, it’s imperative to note a fact going unnoticed by the media. As Russia continues to reassert itself in the Eastern Bloc with its Neo-Soviet territorial ambitions, one cannot help but shudder at the fact that Ukraine will be defenseless with or without aid from the U.S. (As much as I want Ukraine to defend itself, I don’t think it’s smart to give them aid at this time.) In fact, they shouldn’t trust this administration with providing them aid given one of Obama’s actions as senator that’s continually thrown under the rug. In August 2005, he and former U.S. senator Dick Lugar visited Ukraine and traveled to Donetsk, which is the hotly contested region Russia is so eager to seize from Ukraine. Then-Senator Barack Obama secured $48 million in federal funding to help...

Gabriella Hoffman is a guest contributor to Bulletsfirst.net, renowned public speaker and the creator and editor of her own successful site: All-American Girl for the Restoration of Values Gabby was in Las Vegas covering the 37th Annual SHOT Show hosted by the National Shooting Sports Foundation. —————————- NSSF President and CEO Steve Sanetti unveiled a new study this morning at a press conference on the rise of female gun owners. The study is entitled “Women Gun Owners: Purchasing, Perceptions and Participation.” Over half of the women polled in this new study-approximately 55.6%-intend to buy a firearm in the next 12 months. 42% of those polled have a concealed carry permit in their respective state of residence. Additionally, 73% of those polled have taken at least one formal firearms safety course. When asked what drives them to purchase guns, women cited these reasons: fit, quality, and practicality. Moreover, women who were polled said...
