Gun Control Is Re-Branded Gun Violence :: 04/25/2019
On January 9th, 2019, Dianne Feinstein introduced the Assault Weapons ban of 2019 to the United States Senate. In the authoritarian left’s endless attempt at complete social control, Feinstein has made it her goal to ban guns as small as the Ruger 10/22. Feinstein and her supporters justify this in the name of safety. While one may have sympathy for one’s desire for safety, basic logic refutes this claim. In fact, there is nothing that could make a physically weak person safer than a gun. It must be made clear that all gun laws are infringements. There is no compromise on fundamental rights.
Kamala Harris Claims A Million Women Shot, But Have They? :: 04/25/2019

Far-left website ThinkProgress has sounded the alarm about new gun control laws that Pittburgh authorities moved to put in place after last October’s shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue.

GOP Lawmaker's Bill Would Protect Medical Pot User's Gun Rights :: 04/24/2019
The legalization of marijuana is an interesting issue right now. Federally, it’s considered an illegal drug, something you aren’t supposed to get even with a prescription. The reality is a bit murkier. Many states have legalized it for medical use, and some have gone so far as to approve it for recreational use.
NBC News Mischaracterizes Gun Laws To Undermine. . . .Biden? :: 04/24/2019
Former Vice President Joe Biden is set to announce his candidacy for president later this week. Due to his status as Obama’s vice president, he almost has to be considered something of a frontrunner. This despite Biden’s historically weak performance in national campaigns.
Red Flag Laws Raise Constitutional Issues :: 04/24/2019
At the state capitol in Augusta Monday, Maine lawmakers got an earful from both sides in a hotly-debated push to adopt a so-called “red flag” law, the generic term for legislation that would legalized Extreme Risk Protection Orders (ERPO) that allow people deemed to be “at risk” to have their firearms seized by police.
Why Doctors May Not Be Best Choice Of Voice On Gun Debate :: 04/24/2019
The National Rifle Association famously told doctors to “stay in your lane.” A number of doctors replied with images arguing that gun violence was, indeed, their lane. They argued that since they were the ones who dealt with its aftermath, they were a natural voice to speak about gun control.
Covering Mass Shootings 'Humanely' Is About More Than Just Honoring Victims and Survivors on Anniversaries :: 04/23/2019
Mass shootings are part of the American consciousness. They’re horrific, and they’re something we’re all struggling to make sense of. It’s a catalyst, not just for people to embrace gun control, but also for people to embrace gun ownership and concealed carry. It’s done a number on the gun rights debate, that’s for sure.

How 'Strongest Argument' For Gun Control Fails Completely :: 04/23/2019
Violent encounters are terrifying. The average American goes through their life with a ray of sunshine always beaming down on them. They see violence on television, but not in real life. When that changes, though, it rattles them. It scares them on a visceral level. They’re not sure what to make of it.
Kamala Harris Promises Unilateral Action On Gun If Elected :: 04/23/2019
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) is one of many Democrats vying for the opportunity to take on President Trump in the general election. Unlike Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), she has a viable chance.

Testimony Heard Over Maine's Red Flag Bill Proposal :: 04/23/2019
Red flag bills seem to be all the rage among the anti-gun crowd. It’s not difficult to see why, either. They’re arguing that it’s not really gun confiscation, after all. They’re just temporarily taking the guns of people who may be a threat to themselves or others. That’s something that most people can get behind, especially when they don’t understand the problems.
Defending Yourself From Criminals and Elected Officials :: 04/22/2019
Crime: In defensive training, we talk about concepts and principles of personal or family defense against a violent criminal. These may include awareness, avoidance, and collection and processing of information so that we properly identify an attacker and have an appropriate response. The “verbiage” may change from one instructor to the next or one curriculum to the next, but the core concepts and principles remain constant.
FOAC Member: LTE: Ideology disguised as news is propaganda :: 04/22/2019
Again, the staff at The Intelligencer fails to report news. It does report opinion and ideology as news — but that is far below the calling of any reputable organization. Four articles within the last two months clearly show this as fact:
Former President Clinton Pushing Idea School Shootings Are Common :: 04/22/2019
Former President Bill Clinton may be gearing up to help his wife try, yet again, to be president. Or, he may be latching onto a popular political target with his likely supporters so he can run his mouth and try to remain relevant. Honestly, I don’t know which.
Hysteria Over School Safety Won't Keep Us Safe :: 04/22/2019
Numerous Indiana elementary school teachers were shot in January as part of a “safe schools” training program. According to the Indiana State Teachers Association, sheriff deputies ordered teachers “into a room four at a time, told them to crouch down and then shot them execution-style with pellets in rapid succession,” leaving several of them bloodied and many of them screaming in terror. The teachers union is “is lobbying lawmakers to add [legislative] language prohibiting teachers from being shot with any sort of ammunition” during school safety drills, according to the Indianapolis Star.

Researchers Explaining Why Laws Don't Change Illustrate Something Else :: 04/20/2019
We hear a lot from the anti-gun crowd about how wrong it is that the CDC is barred from doing gun research. That’s not actually true, mind you. They’re legally prohibited from conducting anti-gun research, an important distinction, but to anti-gunners minds, any research just has to be anti-gun, so they’re one in the same.
