The Infringement Report
At The Infringement Report, we take accuracy and fairness seriously. We do not publish any articles until we have received detailed information and proof from the individual(s) filing the report with us. This includes emails, screenshots, recordings, or other forms of documentation that clearly support the claim. Additionally, before any story is published, we reach out to the agency or police department in question, giving them an opportunity to comment on the complaint or provide their side of the story. Only after these steps are taken do we move forward with publishing.
The Infringement Report features articles covering delays and obstacles in obtaining firearms-related permits, such as Firearms Purchaser ID cards, pistol purchase permits, and handgun carry licenses. By holding towns and police agencies accountable, we expose how these delays violate the rights of law-abiding gun owners and threaten their ability to exercise Second Amendment freedoms.
