CNN’s chief anti-gun zealot Piers Morgan may have been loathe to admit it, but this IRS scandal seems to validate some of his detractor’s distrust of government. During his evening show on May 16, Morgan’s guest was magician Penn Jillette and the discussion turned to the admission by the Internal Revenue Service that it had [...]
Outside of Chicago’s museums gangs are killing each other at an alarming rate.

Before the smoke had cleared after the terror attacks during the Boston Marathon last month, New Jersey Senator Frank Lautenberg employed Obama’s favorite axiom of never letting a good crisis go to waste by immediately proposing major changes to federal laws pertaining to loose gun powder and explosives. Reports quickly emerged after the bombing that [...]
New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg is touting his newest effort to cancel the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment with a gathering of cartoons by 21 cartoonists who have taken a stand against our Constitutional right to self-protection. As Bloomie has it, they are “the nation’s best loved cartoonists.” But what Bloomberg doesn’t mention is [...]
The Question: The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America, 1789: “A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.” We talk about the “right of the people” to “bear arms” all the [...]
3D-Printed Guns Can’t Be Stopped According to many at the 3D Printing Conference and Expo, 3D-printed guns are inevitable despite the efforts of some 3D printer companies and politicians to try and stop it.

Note: I haven’t and don’t plan on writing about the attack in Boston yesterday. The truth is, there’s nothing to write about. We don’t have any facts related to who was involved or the motive for the attack. There’s plenty of utterly stupid speculation – see Cynthia McKinny and Alex Jones for two – and [...]
Pastor Rick Warren and his family suffered a devastating loss last week when their son, Matthew, took his own life with a pistol that he may have bought illegally from a person he contacted over the Internet.

Yesterday I wrote about 16 GOP Senators voting to begin debate on gun rights in the Senate. I noted that, in doing so, they had done nothing to violate the 2nd Amendment or any earlier statements of 2A support they had made. The vote was procedural and merely allowed debate. Some people understood the distinction. [...]
Yesterday 16 Republican Senators, including both Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker from Tennessee, joined Democrats in voting to begin debate on legislation expanding background checks on gun purchases. With 68 votes to begin debate, a threatened GOP filibuster was stopped before it started. Grassroots reaction was both swift and pointed. Grassfire.com wrote, “Sen. Harry Reid’s gun-control legislation [...]
Only three weeks after re-election in 2012, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was hit with a recall effort. Now, with anti-Arpaio petitions in circulation in Maricopa County, Arizona, “America’s Sheriff” is organizing his forces to oppose a recall backed by the deep pockets of the unions, millions in outside money, and a flood of non-Arizonans arriving to [...]
Please forgive the alliterative title … I’ve been paying too much attention at church (love you Pastor Tim!). But it’s true. Since childhood, firearms and fireworks have been a part of my life. My attitude towards guns and support for the 2nd Amendment is based in no small part on my childhood experience. Some friends and [...]
As he disgustingly used law enforcement officials as a back drop in Colorado, President Obama uttered a few lines about his un-Constitutional gun grabbing policy ideas that truly proves he’s the best lying demagogue to ever sit in the Oval Office. Obama had a message about elected officials, who they are, and what they want [...]
In a story titled “Gun deaths shaped by race in America”, the Washington Post cites statistics showing how race ties into gun-related deaths in the USA. The statistical difference is dramatic, according to a Washington Post analysis of data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A white person is five times as [...]
Sure it is. Let’s take a peek at the three recent headline generating shooting incidents see about that. Gabby Giffords. Congresswoman Giffords was shot, and six people were killed, by Jared Loughner in 2011. Democrats screamed about “guns” to no good result for them at the time. But what about the shooter? Could anyone have [...]
A Jefferson County, Alabama man got a shock after he emailed a local State Representative when instead of a form reply, or a short, meaningless message, the state representative sent him a vile rant filled with taunts and race-tinged epithets. When Jefferson County resident Eddie Maxwell sent an email to Alabama’s House members urging them [...]

As his auction title reads: “Selling a Jim Carrey Autographed 8X10 Photo So I Can Afford A Gun!” In the auction description, Mr. Astrobuzz tells page visitors [...]
Former Cocoa, Florida police Chief Eric Liff is full of crapola when it comes to his wild-eyed beliefs about the National Rifle Association. Liff, however, is right about one thing: he shouldn’t be made to join the NRA against his will. Unfortunately for this grandstander, his point is moot because he isn’t in that position [...]
Continuing the trend of firearms related companies that have been contemplating moving their businesses out of states instituting strict gun control laws, Colt Manufacturing is now considering a move out of Connecticut after 175 years in business.

Would you like to meet the Democrats that voted to destroy your Second Amendment rights? Would you like to meet those traitorous Senators that voted to give the power over your rights to the United Nations? Fortunately, the odious, anti-American treaty was again voted down by the full Senate, but 46 Senators voted in favor [...]
If you were to visit The Huffington Post right now, then you would see at the top of its home page an alleged statistic about gun-related deaths in the USA since the Newtown shooting. There is one little problem with the statistic. By itself, it is meaningless. The statistic doesn’t separate accidental deaths from intentional [...]
ABC has released the results of another gun poll claiming that support for background checks at gun shows has “vast public support.” But neither the poll nor ABC’s report notes that background checks already routinely occur at gun shows. The poll focused on the various gun control bills currently coursing through Congress with one question [...]
Governor Sarah Palin appeared this morning at CPAC 2013. This woman always, always draws a great and enthusiastic audience and this year was no exception.
