Aero Precision isn’t bankrupt. But something is clearly wrong. Inventory has vanished. Orders are delayed for months. Lawsuits are piling up. And the company hasn’t said a word—until now. (see below). If you’ve spent any time on AR15.com, Sniper’s Hide, Ruger Forum, or gun-Reddit in the last few months, you’ve seen the question over and over: Is Aero Precision dying? Builder sets are gone. Lowers are unobtainium. Dealers say wholesale orders take months. Forum posts claim insurance got yanked from employees. So what’s actually going on at the Tacoma-based AR-15 giant? We pulled together public records, court filings, the company’s…

Remember when Sarah Brady’s heirs and the rest of the gun-control hacks insisted suppressors were sinister assassin tools that no decent American had any business owning? Pour one out for that talking point, because it’s officially dead. American gun owners just buried it under a mountain of registered cans. The ATF’s NFA Division has processed more than one million forms in the first four months of 2026 alone, according to numbers flagged last week by the American Suppressor Association. As of April 23, the Division had cleared seven figures of paperwork — and over half of that pile is Form…

Images by the author Most red dots today are built around one goal: lighter and smaller. The Griffin GHS goes in the opposite direction. It’s heavier. It’s overbuilt. And the second you pick it up, you know it’s not trying to compete with minimalist optics. The real question is simple: Does that extra weight actually give you something in return? Features and Specifications Here’s a good place to list those… Features 3 MOA Dot Reticle 1 MOA Adjustment Increments 10 Brightness Settings (8 Daytime, 2 NV) Parallax Set at 25yds Flip-Up Plastic Lens Covers Integrated Picatinny Mount (Co-Witness Height) Shockproof…

When we recently reported on a federal measure that would grant eligible veterans and active-duty military personnel nationwide concealed-carry privileges, effectively overriding state-level restrictions that can differ significantly from one jurisdiction to another, we noted that the bill could face pushback from pro-gun advocates. Boy, were we ever right! The measure, the Special Operations Forces Concealed Carry Act, applied specifically to special operations-type military personnel and veterans, and the author, Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-North Carolina, touted those personnel’s credentials to carry a firearm for self-defense. However, some in the pro-gun community believe the legislation slights the average American citizen, whose…

Images by the author I admit it… I have a “thing” for 1911s, especially the old-school .45 A1 variety. I own more than one 1911, and I think my 1911A1 copies in .45 ACP are my favorites. I have owned many 1911s over the years, some fancier than others. I also own the modern interpretation, the 9mm 2011, in more than one brand. If you want a no-frills, crisp single-action trigger, accurate, reliable pistol, then you look at a 1911. This has been the way since the platform appeared in 1911… hence, its name.  A Quick Look Back at The…

CNN’s ratings may be circling the drain, but the script hasn’t changed. Within minutes of another attempt on President Trump’s life, the network was already doing what it always does: blaming guns before the facts were even known. Minutes after the third attempt to murder President Donald J. Trump — along with senior members of his staff — CNN’s Idiot-in-Chief Brian Stelter was already on the air calling for more gun control. “As CNN anchor Victor Blackwell put it when I joined him on air this morning, ‘The people in that room were confronted with what schoolchildren and moviegoers and…

Most TTAG readers are likely familiar with ZEV Technologies, a Washington state-based company that was launched 20 years ago and, at the time, specialized in top-quality Glock aftermarket parts. Later, the company began making complete pistols, and more recently, AR-style rifles and firearm components. Purchased by SilencerCo back in 2024, the company’s latest introduction is the Folding Defensive Platform, touted as the “ultimate solution for shooters seeking a compact, powerful, and highly concealable defensive weapon system.” Over the past several years, Washington has moved politically further and further toward the anti-gun end of the political spectrum. In 2023, state lawmakers…

The U.S. government’s purchase of massive databases, combined with AI-powered data processing, poses a dangerous threat to the privacy of America’s lawful gun owners, according to the pro-gun rights group Gun Owners of America (GOA). In a national alert distributed on April 22, GOA Senior Vice President Erich Pratt warned of the dangers and called members to action to put an end to the threat. “They don’t need to kick down your door anymore. They just pull out a credit card,” Pratt wrote. “Right now, the federal government is purchasing massive commercial databases packed with personal information: your location history,…

New York lawmakers are pushing a bill that could turn possession of digital gun files into a felony offense. The post New York Wants to Make Sharing a 3D Printer File a Felony — and Force “Censorware” Into Every Printer Sold appeared first on The Truth About Guns. Read the full article here

A bill introduced recently by two longtime anti-gun Democrat U.S. senators,  both from Virginia, would export the Commonwealth’s recent tragic move toward a totalitarian state to the rest of the country. The measure, by U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine and U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, is even named the “Virginia Plan To Reduce Gun Violence,” a slap in the face to gun owners in Virginia and throughout the nation. As most readers know, Virginia passed a wide range of gun control bills this session, including a sweeping ban on common firearms and magazines, which is still awaiting legislative confirmation of Gov. Abigail…
