Gun control advocates name and shame... Mark Kelly? :: 12/15/2022
We’ve previously detailed Sen. Mark Kelly’s reluctance to be one of the public faces of gun control despite the fact that he’s the co-founder of the gun control group Giffords; a move that folks on both sides of the aisle have speculated has far more to do with Arizona’s purple politics than any qualms over the agenda pushed by the group that bears his wife’s last name.
Woman arrested for being victim of gun theft :: 12/15/2022

Real talk about repealing the Second Amendment :: 12/13/2022
Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont says he’s moving ahead with efforts to ban the continued possession of so-called assault weapons, even though several Democratic lawmakers in the Nutmeg State have shown little appetite for the governor’s gun confiscation plan. But Lamont’s bill doesn’t go far enough for one longtime politico in the state. Steven Stringer, who’s served as a press secretary on Capitol Hill and did a stint as a PR flack and adjunct professor for Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government, says in a new column that the gun control movement needs to quit “tiptoeing around the Second Amendment” and start pushing for what they really want: a full repeal of the Second Amendment and the eradication of the right to keep and bear arms.
