Gun Owners Cause Peace - the amazing experiment in Richmond, Virginia proves the media wrong. :: 02/29/2020
The mainstream media tells us that guns cause crime. The media shows us night after night that guns are bad. We see it in their “news” and in their Hollywood dramas. We recently conducted another massive public experiment and the results contradict the media’s story about guns. We put tens of thousands of armed men and women on the street in one small area. The rate of crime dropped precipitously when these armed civilians were there. Guns brought peace. Let me show you what happened.
Tennessee Governor Pushes For Constitutional Carry :: 02/29/2020
On gun rights, one of the most important efforts out there is constitutional carry. The idea of requiring a permit in order to bear arms lawfully is an anathema to the Second Amendment, something none of us should be forced to tolerate. In a way, constitutional carry is the current Holy Grail of gun rights.
They Hate Our Right To Self-Defense :: 02/29/2020
The most I could ask of gun-control activists is simply for them to tell the truth about who they are, what they believe and what they want. Not only does this make for an honest debate, it makes it easy to build a case for the Second Amendment.
Changes continue for Pennsylvania gun laws :: 02/28/2020

Democrats Push Gun Control On Anniversary Of House Passage :: 02/28/2020

The Funny Thing About Hollywood and Guns :: 02/28/2020
Everybody doesn’t like something, but, it seems, nobody doesn’t like the “John Wick” movie franchise. That’s certainly a point made by the total $500 million in box office sales the three films have made.
GOP rep shouts down hearing witness for claiming nobody has died due to gun restrictions :: 02/27/2020

No, There Is No Gun Show Loophole Per DOJ Study :: 02/27/2020
The phrase “gun show loophole” is meant to convey the idea that gun shows are rife with people buying and selling guns without a background check. The clear implication is that such places are a hotbed of criminals trying to obtain firearms for use in their illegal activities. Hell, many of the people who use the term even believe that such a loophole exists.
What We Know About Milwaukee Shooting :: 02/27/2020
Wednesday afternoon’s shooting at a Molson Coors brewery in Milwaukee, WI is just the latest in a long history of mass shootings. As it was breaking news, a lot of the information I shared last night was preliminary, which means it’s all subject to change. Situations like mass shootings are very confusing and the facts get misreported all the time.
Bloomberg School of Public Health: No Evidence Assault Weapon Bans Reduce Mass Shootings :: 02/26/2020

Gun Control is the Modern Temperance Movement :: 02/26/2020
100 years after Prohibition, it’s still a doomed proposition There is an uncanny parallel between anti-gun rights groups like Moms Demand Action, which continually seeks more ineffective gun control laws, and the infamous women of the temperance movement, which brought about the failed experiment of Prohibition.
New Mexico Governor to Sheriffs: Enforce Gun Law or Resign :: 02/26/2020
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham signed a red-flag gun bill Tuesday that will allow state district courts to order the temporary surrender of firearms, and she urged sheriffs to resign if they still refuse to enforce it.
Stop and Frisk :: 02/26/2020
The first ten Amendments to the United States Constitution, commonly known as the Bill of Rights, is the highest law of the land. If for some reason you happen to disagree with me about that (probably because of your public "education"), and with the Founding Fathers and the Supreme Court, there's no point in your reading further. Put it cybernetically, the Bill of Rights is the basic operating system of the country and the sole source of American exceptionalism. If we don't have that we have nothing. We might as well be Belgium.
American Bar Association Expands Promotion of Gun Control :: 02/25/2020
The American Bar Association (ABA) has long supported restrictions on the rights of gun owners.

Biden oddly suggests 150 million people killed by guns since 2007 :: 02/25/2020
Former vice president Joe Biden went after the voting record of Democratic front-runner Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., on the debate stage Tuesday night, slamming Sanders for supporting legislation that gave gun manufacturers absolute immunity from liability for gun violence, but in doing so, Biden grossly overstated the number of gun deaths since the 2007 law passed.
Bill Seeks To Allow 18-Year-Olds To Buy Handguns :: 02/25/2020
One of the great injustices in this country isn’t some of the crap you routinely hear the American left complain about. No, it’s that we treat 18- to 20-year-olds as if they’re still children in many ways. These are law-abiding citizens who are able to vote and serve in the military, sign contracts, take on crippling debt for a useless college degree if they want, but they’re limited in a lot of other things they can do.
Dems Compete To Out Anti-Gun Each Other In SC Debate :: 02/25/2020
Tuesday night’s Democratic debate featured a single question about gun control, but at least we got a chance to hear from all of the candidates. Unfortunately, every one of them tried to outdo the next in terms of their support for sweeping gun laws that would criminalize the exercise of our right to keep and bear arms.
