Dr. Alan Lazzara combined his love of hunting deer, turkey and squirrels with his work as an emergency medicine doctor to research hunting safety.
The results of the study are timely with bow season underway in Michigan and deer firearms season a month away for the 700,000 hunters in Michigan.
Lazzara, an emergency medicine specialist at Henry Ford Allegiance in Jackson, found that injuries from falling out of a tree stand are two to three times more common than injury from hunting firearms negligence.
�I just did a research study over the last two years, we looked at the last five years of data and found six or seven tree stand injuries per year which doesn�t seem like a lot. |

Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith has taken a stance against all the anti-gun provisions in the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act (H.R. 1620) or VAWA.
The Senator does want to see VAWA pass but without all the anti-gun sections of the bill. She clarified her position to AmmoLand News and vowed not to vote for the bill if it has any of the many anti-gun provisions. Several other key Republicans have not been as transparent with their intent. |

The number of concealed handguns grew to 21.52 million in 2020, the study showed. |

What do you then need to exploit this chaos? Start with the politically motivated appointment of judges to the federal bench, most emphatically including the Supreme Court. Add a reduction in federal monitoring of corporate behavior, continuing indiscriminate support for the Second Amendment and gun ownership, and the growth of extremist groups, which is up over 30% in the past few years.
Is this all because Americans have stopped thinking and find it easier to join up with any one of dozens of available dissident groups who are eager to tell them what to do? |

From the success in Sweden of herd immunity to the use of Ivermectin in Uttar Pradesh in India where COVID is just about non-existent, even with only 20 percent of the population vaccinated. See that information, even though it�s out there, is not mentioned or else discounted as �fake news� by those controlling the narrative.
For all you of the media who have followed lock step with the demands of what has now become a tyrannical government, the first amendment that will fall after the second amendment will be your freedom of speech.
Sadly, I believe I hear Taps being played. |

By now, it's no secret that Americans have largely divided along political lines and really don't like the people in the opposing tribe. What's a work in progress, though, is the growing willingness to do something very dramatic about that mutual loathing so that a temporarily dominant faction can't be obstructed by its enemies. Increasingly, our countrymen contemplate a balkanized future in which newly formed statelets are led by woke or MAGA Caesars. It's a future worth averting through some solution that lets people run their own lives independent of their opponents, if that's at all possible. |

New Jersey has joined a four-state coalition with Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania to take on the issue of gun violence in the region.
Gov. Phil Murphy held a virtual event with Govs. Ned Lamont, Kathy Hochul and Tom Wolf to announce the initiative.
�The reality is that guns don�t understand the concept of state lines. But those who purchase them do,� Murphy said.
Facing an influx of guns trafficked from states with looser gun restrictions, the four Democrats have joined forces.

Applications for concealed weapons permits have gone down significantly since the Utah State Legislature changed a law requiring them � at least in state applications. Out of state applications are more than making up for that � which is keeping the money flowing in.
What�s not known is if that will continue to happen.

In his video, he announces his self-proclaimed status as a �Trump Warrior� and notes his two main issues: election integrity and the Second Amendment. He brags about attending various fake recount events (though for some reason he forgets to mention his presence at the Jan. 6 insurrection) and suggests the election was stolen, the biggest of the Trump dog whistles, a claim that has been rebutted by every court and even by the staged Arizona sham recount that, when all was said and done, actually increased the margin by which Biden won the state. |

The stakes in one of the most significant Second Amendment cases in U.S. history are high.
The Supreme Court�s ruling in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, expected by mid-2022, could declare a New York state restriction on carrying concealed handguns in public places unconstitutional.
Such a ruling in favor of the plaintiffs, which include a National Rifle Association affiliate, could loosen gun regulations in many parts of the country.
In my view as a Second Amendment scholar, this case is also noteworthy in that how the court reaches its conclusion could affect the Second Amendment analysis of all weapons laws in the future. |

U.S. Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Mike Crapo (R-Idaho), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), Mike Braun (R-Ind.), Roger Marshall (R-Kansas), John Barrasso (R-Wyo.), Mike Rounds (R-S.D.), and Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.) today introduced a bill to bring parity to gun owners using public lands.
The Recreational Lands Defense Act would restore Second Amendment rights of individuals recreating on lands managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Under current law, an individual may carry a firearm on lands managed by the U.S. Department of Interior and U.S. Department of Agriculture, including National Parks and National Forests, as long as it is consistent with state law. |

Wafer�s attorneys claimed he shot her in self-defense but, it didn�t stick � and he was sentenced to at least 17 years in prison. Now, a new chance at a lesser sentence.
"He grabbed a shotgun and opened a locked steel door at the front of his and immediately and immediately shot 19-year-old Renisha McBride in the face killing her," said Amanda Smith, from the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office. "Mr. Wafer initially told police twice that he did not know the gun was loaded and that it went off, or that it went off accidentally."

Since the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic over a year ago, individuals and organizations alike have been concerned about an ongoing problem: reactive violence toward the Asian American community. While many have advocated for Asian and Asian American safety through advertising campaigns, local events, and city politics, one industry in particular has taken to this tumultuous time as a unique marketing opportunity � the firearms industry. With the ever growing population of Asian Americans, gun lobbyists have shifted their sights toward this vast, untapped market of potential buyers, a move that has many community groups nervous. |

If President Joe Biden had his way, anti�Second Amendment zealot David Chipman would already be implementing unconstitutional gun-control regulations as head of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. At National Review, we helped keep the pressure on, exposing the nominee�s numerous professional and ideological shortcomings. Kevin Williamson even nominated one of our own to fill the job. |

Global takeover conspiracy theories. Christian pastors and local sheriffs still pissed that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. And the head of a group that even the reserved Facebook censors labeled a �violent social militia.�
Few Americans are even aware that the gun company Kahr and a rural Pennsylvania doomsday church�both run by the same ultra-rich Korean family�hold an annual �Freedom Festival� that attracts gun enthusiasts and the type of people who attach �Don�t Tread on Me� flags to the back of their trucks. But in the wake of the failed Jan. 6 insurrection, the event�s amalgamation of sovereign citizens and alt-truthers has taken on a new meaning. And now, it�s even got an all-star lineup. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. � James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
