Op-Ed: The Dark Side of the Universal Background Check Bill HR8

7:00am Monday, August 12, 2019

USA – (AmmoLand.com)- H.R. 8 is sold as a “background check bill” to keep guns away from bad people, but we know from 50 years experience that less than 1% of the bad people who fail the background checks are prosecuted.

Dayton police say they are still searching for a motive after a man with a violent past misused a firearm to murder his sister and 8 others outside a bar in the Oregon District. One thing they will no-doubt be looking into is how the man's anti-gun rights extremism affected his decision to carry out his cowardly attack.

[Editor's Note: This article was originally published on our website September 3, 2018.] Have you ever gotten the feeling that gun control extremists are poised and ready to take advantage of a mass shooting event? Almost as if they're waiting for it? As if they've strategized about it? It's true, of course. And it's been proven through the release of internal documents such as " Preventing Gun...

Stop Making Killers Famous

7:00am Wednesday, August 07, 2019

While we don't yet have all the facts on the mass murder in Dayton, we do know a lot about about these kind of horrible acts and the people who commit them.

Vying for attention in a crowded field of Democrat presidential wannabes, presidential candidates like former Texas congressman Beto O...
