Welcome to Armed American News!
Our goal is simple: to keep you informed about everything affecting our right to keep and bear arms.
Be it new legislation, new shenanigans from the Democratic Party, new products, new pro-gun developments, new training techniques or anything else that could impact our way of life and our God-given constitutional rights, you will find it here, every single day, free of charge.
We’ve also got a page dedicated to opinions – from our staff and from a growing list of pro-gun guest columnists – but we won’t mix news and opinions. At AAN, we’re keeping news and opinions separate – the way it should be.
We hope you enjoy our work as much as we enjoy working for you.
