In today’s divisive political climate, few issues are as contentious as those relating to Second Amendment rights. Convoluted legislation and state-specific legal differences make the topic of gun possession a hot button for folks on both ends of the barrel.
As a resource devoted to the principle that every patriot has a God-given right to defend country, family and oneself with firearms, we also believe that without access to ammunition, there would be no reason to own guns, thus our mission, selling high-quality ammunition at affordable prices, is our priority.
Whether you’re a member of the law enforcement community, a recreational or competitive shooter, it’s important to stay in the loop about guns, gear, laws, and training.
One of the best ways to do that is by frequenting relevant blogs. We’ve picked the cream of the crop to profile here. Read one. Read them all. You'll learn a lot.
Ammoland
Postings originated by high-profile writers like Ammoland Editor Joe Evans and other writers who are as familiar with guns as they are about reporting news, spread the word about all aspects of firearm ownership.
While most bloggers writing are men, the occasional female gun lover is happy to explain why a woman without a gun is like a rifle without a scope.
The Truth About Guns
The staff behind this high-profile blog consists of heavyweights that run the gamut from publisher Robert Farago to Testing/Reviews Editor Jeremy.
Expect to find posts entertaining: From updates on blogger John Boch’s pet ferret to a mommy blogger who adores guns but dislikes Sarah Palin prove that boring reads don't exist on this blog.

USA Carry
When site founder Luke McCoy launched USA Carry in 2007, he focused on Nevada only. But as the blog picked up steam, his audience expanded.

Smart Gun Laws
You’ll recognize famous folks on the blog pages of a site that examines the other side of the national debate on gun laws.

There’s no shortage of irreverent text on the Say Uncle site (e.g.: “We say more dumb shit before noon than most people say all day”), so if you’re looking for pure blog that’s short on words but long on sentiment, this is it.
Colion Noir, the guy behind the blog, has organized these pages nicely. The right sidebar gets you to posts fast and while not all of the content is original, it’s all relevant.
Black Man with a Gun

Armory Blog
Editor-in-chief Ray started Armory Blog in 2009 after a career in video games that still doesn’t match his passion for firearms.

Gun Safe Able
How important are gun safes in today’s world? Important enough to warrant a website with a blog that not only focuses on these essentials but provides conduits to editorial that covers all aspects of weapons ownership.
