Lies, Damn Lies, And Red Flag Laws :: 05/13/2020

People lie. It’s not a cynical thing to say, it’s an established fact. Most people tell lies at some point in their life.

The Long-Term Failures Of Violence Prevention Programs :: 05/10/2020

As a Second Amendment supporter, I tend to believe that the answers to solving the issue of violence in our inner cities aren’t gun control. Obviously, I’m biased to a significant degree, but my bias is based on observation. After all, look at the 10 safest states and the 10 most dangerous states. You have gun-controlled states in both lists and you have gun-friendly states in both lists as well.

Mexico: Mexico's President Wants Answers On Operation Fast and Furious :: 05/09/2020

Something tells me the Trump administration may be far more eager to help Mexico president Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador get to the bottom of the Fast and Furious gunrunning scandal than the Obama administration ever was.

Gun Control Groups Defense Of Nikki Fried Betrays Their True Agenda - COVID-19 :: 05/08/2020

When it comes to COVID-19, gun control groups probably shouldn’t have had anything to offer. After all, they claim they support law-abiding citizens exercising their right to keep and bear arms, they just want some “common sense” restrictions on those rights. Pro-gun activists have argued for years that they really want to basically take away those rights, which many gun control activists take issue with.

Which New Normal do You Mean? :: 05/08/2020

The good news is that most of us are headed back to work. Unfortunately, we’ve seen too many new things during quarantine to be sure about our new “normal”.  We’ve seen citizens and politicians behave horribly.

Below The Radar: Restoring The Armed Career Criminal Act :: 05/07/2020

United States – -(AmmoLand.com)- Sometimes, legislation is kept under the radar because if the legislation is passed, it might actually solve the problem. Anti-Second Amendment extremists and their allies in the media really don’t want Americans to know that certain provisions already exist in the law.

Freedom Is An Issue That Stirs Voters :: 05/06/2020

The American gun-control movement has long insisted that public opinion is firmly on its side, and that its aims are thwarted not by their political unpopularity but by the obstinacy of a handful of over-powerful players.
