Bearing Arms
U.S. right (pro-gun-rights advocacy)
Bearing Arms is a Second Amendment news and opinion site owned by Salem Media's Townhall Media group. It openly advocates for gun rights and covers gun policy and court cases from that view. Its coverage tends to favor Trump administration moves that loosen gun regulation, and it criticizes gun-control measures and Democratic officials. It can still criticize the administration on specific gun issues.
Owned byPart of Townhall Media, a unit of Salem Media Group, a Christian-conservative media company. In May 2026 Salem announced a deal to be acquired and taken private by WaterStone, a donor-advised fund foundation. I could not confirm whether that deal has closed.
