In recent weeks, I’ve written a good bit about the alarming direction the ATF is heading.

A Texas Republican congressman led a letter to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) about the agency’s ammunition stockpile.

Gun stores in multiple New York counties will now be forced to warn people against buying their products.
