There is currently legislation being pondered in the Senate called Fix NICS. The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) is a United States system for determining if prospective firearms or explosives buyers' name and birth year match those of a...

Or, what's wrong with focusing on gun control. We get regularly questioned by the press, fellow liberals, conservatives, and other groups whose heads seem to explode upon finding out about our existence. After all, things are BINARY! You are either in one bucket or...

In the wake of Las Vegas, those champions of the Second Amendment, the GOP declared that the suppressor bill all gun loving folk were excited about won’t see the presidents pen anytime soon. We can't have those magic wand death whisper machines in the hands of...

I constantly run across some variation of the following post on gun boards: "I want to buy my spouse a gun. What should I get them?" This thread nearly always involves buying a gun not to take to the range but for defense and then devolves into the dreaded caliber...

What happened? Unlike many out there, I can't blame this on a single thing, third party voters, Benghazi or Email servers. So its probably many things, and frankly, many things we watched happen and observed as they were happening. Perception, real or imagined, that...

Well. We’re a couple of days past the election, and we’ve managed to put in to power a horrible, manipulative, racist, angry cheeto of a president. Congratulations America. I’m not going to get in to the reasons for the loss, as there’s going to be bickering for years...

  The DC Project is a non-partisan group of 50 women from 50 states who earlier this month traveled to Washington D.C. to reveal the usually unseen faces and stories of female firearms owners and Second Amendment supporters.  Meeting with over 100 lawmakers and their...

Folks, we have a guest blog entry from a forum discussion! The 2nd Amendment: Where it came from, what it means by Silas Soule I've seen many dubious statements about the 2nd Amendment to the U.S. Constitution during recent discussions on gun ownership, and I'd like...

We are still holding commentary on the horrific event that happened in Las Vegas. That said, there are some potentially relevant posts from the past we wanted to share. You may have started following us recently, or may have missed these the first time around. We...

We have already posted the article itself to Facebook, but wanted to provide some context regarding the interview itself and present a couple of important items regarding it. Recently three of our California members, including our national spokesperson, Lara Smith,...

You can now find the programs we offer and submit your information to sign up for training here! https://www.theliberalgunclub.com/training/ It's a work in progress, and more to come. Eric Meyers The Liberal Gun Club

Unless you have been living under a rock, you know that this past weekend there was deadly violence on the streets of America. A terrorist drove his car into a crowd of protesters, killed Heather Heyer and injured some 19 others. We are angry and sad about that. But...

Well I didn't think I'd be writing about a budget bill today, but it looks like we'll have to. Much like we opposed previous bills that stripped due process like the "Gun Restraining Order", this new bill, which it's rider had zero relation to any budgetary process,...

This is a tough week. From what I've read in the media, this case looked to be a pretty clear cut case of a police officer reacting horribly to what should have been a routine traffic stop. You can judge for yourself from all the available video evidence. I saw a...

In accordance with the "education" portion of the Liberal Gun Club's mission, we are pleased to announce two newly certified LGC instructors in Michigan and Oklahoma. They will be teaching our "Intro to Range Safety and Shooting" course, our mostly highly requested...

Let me preface this by saying this is my opinion only, and do not reflect the views or positions of the Liberal Gun Club. One of the frequent questions I, and other liberal gun owners get, generally after having had to explain that yes, I am in fact liberal, and yes,...

So I was listening to NPR yesterday and heard a pretty interesting tidbit. They had signed a federal consent decree due to a rash of complaints regarding policing methods and had been seeing a steady uptick in violent crime until the federal oversight recommendations...

Mic.com interviewed Lara Smith and went shooting with Ed Gardner, two members of the Liberal Gun Club's leadership team. The resulting article sings the song of liberal Second Amendment supporters....

For those who follow our blog and positions, it's not new news that we are big believers in treating the root causes of violence rather than putting an ineffective but feel good band-aid on the problem. We've talked about it numerous times on the blog, but a couple of...

Well we've come to a close on the first LGC Membership survey, and it was an interesting exercise to go through. I'm not going to dissect all the bits and pieces in this spot, but there were some things that we felt were worth highlighting as we begin to go through...

I hear it over and over and over again: "liberals hate guns." To my conservative gun friends, I say - please stop. Instead, work with me here. I am a liberal and I am a Second Amendment advocate. Last week, I spoke with Black Guns Matter in California. Yesterday, I...

There is a symbol that's come up in the last few days. You may have read about it. I will say this: Symbols are important. Solidarity is important. "We must, indeed, all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."     Solidarity is important. Symbols...

California LGC'ers, Most of you all have been following some of the recent legislation here in California. There's a number of very wrong headed bills that unfortunately were passed and signed into law, in addition to most of those same bills being put on the ballot...

Hey fellow LGC members!   Well the annual LGC meeting is right around the corner, and we’ve been working hard to make sure that it is going to be worth your time! The local folks who are hosting this year in Oregon are setting up some great range time for us, and we...

My Marlin had a seven round magazine, his Ruger a ten with a ten power scope as well. We pretty much swapped shots, settling into an unspoken rhythm. He sat on my right, so his brass flew away from us, and mine just plopped down. Paddle rang “pink” when we hit it.

Remember, as a dues paying member of the LGC, you are a member of a CMP affiliated club. So in addition to being able to buy surplus rifles and ammo direct from the CMP, you can also participate in CMP sanctioned matches and list the LGC as your club of record. More...

Just an update to the press primer we usually send to reporters. Probably warrants a more detailed post, or event just a cut and paste, but if you want to see what we say when asked, this is a good place to start. LGCPrimer-Feb2016...

As we all know, rights are subject to reasonable restrictions, particularly when the public interest and common good are at stake. So in order to ensure the security of our free state, there are several programs that must be extended immediately.   Daesh/ISIS poses a...

On the heels of another kid getting shot by police for having a replica firearm, I figured it was time to revisit this. “Who is that guy over there?” “What is he doing?” “Should we call the police?” As it happens, nobody pictured above is breaking the law at the time...

You know, the slippery slope argument gets invoked a great deal, and honestly, its not exactly resonating with anyone. It feels tired. I am not entirely sure what to do about that without getting a dog whistle out, but that's not the point of today's post. As often as...

My ability to even broke sometime Thursday. (Hey. I'm a white girl. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Uggs, and can't-even.) What caused the breakdown of my to-even ability? My Facebook feed full of reposted articles screaming things like "Over 350 mass shootings so far this...

Four Reasons More Gun Control Wouldn’t Have Stopped Recent Mass Shootings 1) We Don’t Even Know What Happened: What kind of gun was used? Where was it acquired? Did the shooters pass a background check? We still don’t have answers for some of the most basic questions...

“It’s clear that the proposals put forward by gubernatorial hopeful Gavin Newsom are less about guns and more about Gavin,” says Eric Meyers, President of the Liberal Gun Club’s California chapter.   With his Oct. 16, 2015 announcement, Gavin Newsom is following a...

The Liberal Gun Club has received and approved an application creating the Rocky Mountain Chapter. The chapter’s geographical area covers those states along the Rocky Mountain range: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Utah, and New Mexico. The chapter currently has...

Another publicity murder has taken place, and the usual digging in on both sides has started. I’ll start this with this. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. I also applaud those (few) news outlets who are not repeating the name of the murderer, but...

As you may remember, we relocated the club headquarters to MA after a leadership change, and the local paper picked up the fact we existed. So they ran a story: http://newton.wickedlocal.com/article/20150813/NEWS/150818099 Its a good article, and its gotten some...
