The record does not change because the ending is tragic, and if we are not willing to apply the same scrutiny across the board, then we are not seeking truth.

Mom-at-Arms has covered the suspected discrimination against minority employee at Everytown for Gun Safety/Moms Demand Action a few times in the past. These were based on employee reviews on Glassdoor and Indeed. Those articles can be viewed below in the links. https://www.mom-at-arms.com/post/everytown-s-minority-employees-have-something-to-say https://www.mom-at-arms.com/post/more-internal-trouble-at-everytown-for-gun-safety https://www.mom-at-arms.com/post/scathing-review

They always lied when they said “we aren’t coming for your guns, we just want common sense gun laws”. Well, Rep. Tanzi, an Everytown/MDA endorsed state legislator in Rhode Island just went all in and introduced legislation to confiscate previous legally owned firearms becuase “assault firearms”. Watch Rep. Tanzi flat out state it in the video links below. https://x.com/gunrights/status/2041982685782876576?s=46 https://x.com/gunrights/status/2041984715364692379?s=46 https://x.

To understand Virginia politically, you have to go back to the system that shaped it long before modern party labels took hold.

At its core, this is not simply messaging. It is a system of psychological reframing. Decades of research have shown that people do not respond to information in a vacuum.

WARNING: A Mini Playbook for Strategic Activism, by Jill S. McDaniel, aka Mom-At-Arms... who knows how to read and research, has a background in marketing and business psychology, and has been in activism longer than most of these influencers you see on IG and TikyTok. Not to mention, if many of you in the 2A World recall, I also helped YOU become "noticed." Please refer back to your DMs before you read further. Cause this one might have ya tucking your tail. Here's a hard tr

Clout chasing dressed up as advocacy does not strengthen a cause. It dilutes it. It confuses people and redirects energy away from where it actually needs to go and gives folks a false sense that they have done something when all they have done is engage with content.

During the 2026 Virginia legislative session, Democrat lawmakers advanced legislation regulating how firearms may be stored in unattended vehicles. Supporters framed the policy as a "public safety" measure intended to prevent theft and unauthorized access to firearms. But buried within the legislation is a provision that raises a serious question about fairness. A conference substitute to HB110 includes language stating that the unattended vehicle storage provisions do not a

When Pro Second Amendment commentary begins portraying women as constant victims within their own community, it risks reinforcing that same narrative as Gun Control proponents.

...Laura was always more than the hardest chapter of her life.

You may remember the nuke that Mom-at-Arms dropped in 2023 on the Illinois Supreme Court ( article here , it caused shockwaves). In short, the Illinois gun ban case was before the court and two newly seated Justices (Rochford and O’Brien) were bankrolled by the main defendants of the case (the governor, the speaker of the house and the president of the senate). They were also bankrolled by Moms Demand Action and endorsed by other anti-gun groups. They refused to recuse from

Wow ATF, just wow. Not only did you just help sink the NFA further into the legal abyss, but you ALSO denied a former contributor to Mom-At-Arms ( here’s his article , great read) his suppressor stating that his “god given rights” are not a valid reason to exercise his 2A right, which is “god given”. Further, you just proved the NFA is a “may issue”, not “shall issue”. Oh boy, this gonna get good! This man had a dual layer infringement applied against him and he wasn’t taki

I hope Virginians are paying attention, because this pattern isn’t new. Lawmakers like Dan Helmer and Abigail Spanberger fully expect to be sued; that’s part of the political machinery that keeps money and momentum flowing on their side.

Spoiler alert: thanks to the Supreme Court’s Bruen decision, these bills are walking into a legal buzzsaw.

HB21 threatens jobs, small businesses, and constitutional rights—all under the guise of “responsible conduct.”

HB 24 is a misguided attempt to restrict reciprocity and complicate lawful concealed carry. Virginians should contact their legislators, voice opposition, and stand for policies that respect constitutional rights, promote clarity, and prioritize real safety measures over political theater.

(I've tried to steer away from posting "All things Mom" articles on this site, but after something I witnessed yesterday while out grabbing some goods, I can't help but take the opportunity to share the lesson. And honestly, since the Mom-At-Arms brand has successfully expanded into instruction over the last few years, I may start posting more articles of the like in the near future so that I can better help my students. Don't fret, though! The snarky exposes and legislative

The Virginia Legislature has introduced SB50 , a bill that would expand the definition of “lobbying” to include influencing or attempting to influence local government actions . At first glance, this may sound like a simple transparency measure. But dig deeper, and the implications are troubling. What SB50 Does Redefines lobbying to cover not just state-level executive and legislative actions, but also local government decisions . Requires registration for anyone attempting t

When lawmakers introduce bills under the banner of “safety,” it’s worth asking: safety for whom, and at what cost? As part of my personal mission to help in debunking the Gun Control bills coming to the Commonwealth, let's now talk about Virginia’s SB38 . Currently in committee, is framed as a measure to regulate firearm transfers from individuals under protective orders or with certain misdemeanor convictions. But peel back the layers, and you’ll find a bill that adds bureau

It begins in a small town, ordinary on the surface. Children ride their bikes down quiet streets, things like board games encourage imagination, and families gather around dinner tables. The hum of everyday life masks something darker, though. Beneath the calm, a hidden world presses against reality… a place of monsters, fear, and manipulation. Stranger Things: Season 2 (Netflix) The shadows creep in through strange portals. They feed on trauma, thrive on division, and grow s

LET THE DEBUNKING COMMENSE!!!!

Technically, we here at Mom-At-Arms sealed the fate of the last controversial ATF Director (David Chipman) , so might as well dive into this one. When the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) announced Robert Cekada as its Deputy Director in April 2025, it marked the rise of a career lawman to one of the most influential posts in federal firearms regulation. Fast forward to today, November 19, 2025 and he’s been boosted to ATF Director. For those who foll

Virginia Senator Jennifer Carroll Foy (D) has prefiled a bill for the 2026 Legislative Session that claims to establish “standards of responsible conduct” for firearm industry members. On the surface, it sounds like common‑sense regulation. In reality, it’s a sweeping attempt to impose vague, unworkable mandates on manufacturers, dealers, and distributors - opening the door to endless lawsuits, selective enforcement, and back‑door gun control. Let's take this mess she's propo
