(from bearingarms.com) [Ed: Another article reposted by permission from BearingArms.com. First published there yesterday. Condensed for DRGO.] Gun ownership is up across the board. Further, support for gun control is down. It seems that everyone is going out to buy guns, regardless of any ethnicity or gender. This is a good thing. The more gun owners there are, the less support for gun control you tend to find. While having a gun isn’t a guarantee that someone will vote for a particul...

(from dreamsmoke.com) This piece is a disappointment. You’ll see. I ran across an interview in late September on RecoilTV by BJ Campbell (also a writer for OpenSourceDefense, which we share on DRGO Facebook weekly). I couldn’t identify its date, but it appeared to be recent. He talked with Michael Siegel, MD, MPH of Boston University’s School of Public Health, whom Campbell names “one of the pre-eminent gun policy researchers in the world”. Dr. Siegel is prominent enough that DRGO auth...

(from amazon.com) Guy Smith is a man after my own heart. He’s curious, doesn’t accept pronouncements of truth by authority, and digs deeper in order to prove it himself. His entry into the topsy-turvy world of contrafactual “research” by, shall we say, skeptics about guns parallels my own. We both moved from accepting popular disapproval of firearms in society, to wondering why, to making our own inquiries and analyses. We both discovered the truth is opposite: Firearms are an important part...

(from mandascott.co.uk) Cam Edwards brought to my attention Stephen Gutowski’s October 27 article in the Washington Free Beacon, "Health Care Workers Help Drive Gun Surge, New Study Says". We talked about it yesterday on his show on Bearing Arms -- Cam & Co, which I always enjoy. Unfortunately, my side of the audio is nearly incomprehensible, so I’ll share the meat of our conversation here.  We know that American firearm sales have dramatically increased since the spread of SARS-...

(from armedcitizensnetwork.org) [Ed: As in the past, we are reposting a book review by Gila Hayes, operations manager and editor for the Armed Citizens’ Legal Defense Network. The book is a newly updated classic by Mas Ayoob, first posted there earlier this month -- of course, everything he's written is a classic!] With the release of the seventh edition of The Gun Digest Book of Combat Handgunnery, author Massad Ayoob recognizes the authors of previous editions of this classic compendiu...

(from gatdaily.com) [Ed: Our erstwhile contributor 'Dr. Latebloomer' now writes mostly for GATDaily, but we still like occasionally to steal and read her stuff (with permission). Here is a timely nugget relating to DRGO's advocacy of COVID prevention as much as to the Second Amendment and responsible carry, first published there May 14, 2020.] Remember my post from last week? About what a wasteland social media is now? Well I still think that, but I at least can get good material sometim...
