A Gun Buy-back Program we can support! :: 07/19/2013
Rather than taking firearms to the furnace, this group has a better idea. We support it, and if it comes to Pennsylvania, we'll promote it.

This info is cross posted from our events calendar.
Score another victory for "common sense gun laws". :: 07/13/2013
We keep hearing about "common sense" gun laws, and this judge's ruling is our idea of "common sense".
Ilinois Carry Law-Readers Digest Version :: 07/12/2013
Looks like if you have 300 bucks, you might be able to secure permission from Illinois to lawfully carry there. We think the Illinois legislature has a lot of tweaking to do. We still do not like the idea of paying for a right guaranteed to us by the Constitution.
Project Gunrunner-No, WE have not forgotten. Not hardly. :: 07/12/2013
We don't think a long editorial comment is necessary. The Dallas Morning News sums it up very well.
Harry Reid is no friend of Gun Owners :: 07/11/2013
Harry Reid Moves to Destroy the Senate Rules that are Blocking Passage of Gun Control You can't be "just a little bit pregnant."
Illinois Governor Quinn is forced to listen to the will of the People. :: 07/11/2013
While Quinn insists he's running for a second term as Governor of Illinois, and also insists he'll get his way on guns, the Illinois legislature and the Citizens of Illinois have been heard. We think Quinn is out of touch, and certainly out of political capital.
Mental Health Community resists reporting. :: 07/11/2013
We know of only one member of Congress, Rep. Tim Murphy, who is vehemently opposed to the attitude shown by the mental health community. He's had town hall meetings all over his district, seeking input on the correlationbetween Violence and Mental Illness. This article shows what he, a mental health care professional himself, is up against. In short, the liberal mindset in mental health is more apt to blame the gun than the violently mentally ill.
Ever wonder how many guns are out there? :: 07/10/2013
We did, and we wondered, too, how gun ownership for personal protection broke down along gender, and by political party affiliation. We all know that the fastest growing segment of firearms owners are women, but read the article, and be surprised by how many Democrats own firearms for protection. This is a long, but interesting read.
Chicago-Where Gun Laws Work!! :: 07/09/2013
The really telling part of this article is the comment by a 2nd Ward Alderman, who insisted that policing wasn't effective. I guess he forgot about those SCOTUS decisions that say the cops only have to show up and shove the victims into an ambulance. You would think that by now the geniuses in Chicago would have figured out that honest folks with the ability to fight back actually knock down the murder rates.Here is the Alderman's quote:
Jerk of the month club-Jim Carrey :: 07/09/2013
When your career is going into a meltdown, we guess some folks will do anything to curry the favor of some movie fans. Sorry, Jim, but the damage is done. Maybe you can make a comeback as a studio tour guide.
National Shooting Sports Foundation files suit against Connecticut :: 07/09/2013
We think the NSSF has legitimate argument. Gun laws passed in the middle of the night, in the heat of passion, won't work. We are a Nation of Laws, and Connecticut can't arbitrarily abandon due process at the expense of We the People.
Don't worry. Registration never leads to Confiscation. :: 07/08/2013

Project Gunrunner Claims another life :: 07/08/2013
The WASR in question is hardly a "LOST" gun. The articleis being kind and not accurate of the government program's stated intent.But on the other hand, you expected what from the liberal media? http://touch.latimes.com/#section/-1/article/p2p-76571135/
Think you know the Castle Doctrine? You best read this. :: 07/05/2013
In our continuing effort to get folks up to speed on what Castle is, and what its not, we submit the following article to you. Warning shots are a bad idea, and as in this case, an anti gun DA can "prove" you could not have been in fear of grave bodily injury or death, or you would not have fired a warning shot.You read, you decide.
