The Left's Hypocrisy of Buying Elections :: 12/12/2018
The left constantly accused politicians of being in the pocket of the NRA. Anyone who can add laughs at that notion, but basic math has never deterred leftists from their idiotic agendas.

This notion isn’t just stupid. It’s pure, unfiltered hypocrisy. The left doesn’t just spend more on lobbying and propaganda in general, they spend more on gun policy.

Why Are Red Flag Laws Garnering Such Bipartisan Support? :: 12/11/2018

When Governments Restrict Guns, People Make Their Own By the Millions :: 12/09/2018
Around the world, governments attempt to limit subjects' legal access to weapons—ostensibly to keep the peace, but in reality often done to minimize challenges to government power. And, around the world, those subjects defy such restrictions, often going so far as to manufacture weapons outside official channels. In fact, DIY firearms ranging in sophistication from muskets to grenade launchers exist in the millions across the planet, according to a new report that should (but won't) finally demonstrate to government officials the futility of efforts to disarm people who insist on being free.
