Reality Check: Why FBI Terror Watch List Should NOT Be Used To Prevent Gun Purchases

3:00pm Friday, July 15, 2016

In the wake of the Orlando mass shooting, there is a major push about what to do over gun control. And while some of the discussion is repetitive, what about the simple idea that if someone is on the FBI watch list, they should not be allowed to buy a gun? Is it fair? Does it make sense? This is a Reality Check you won’t see anywhere else.

(Some) Liberals Oppose Using Terror Watch List to Strip Gun Rights

7:00am Friday, July 15, 2016

It’s unfortunate that a significant portion of congressional Democrats have embraced a policy that would grant the executive branch the unconstrained power to trample individual rights. In recent weeks, Democratic senators and congressmen carried out a filibuster and a well-catered “sit-in” to advocate for the decidedly illiberal position that American citizens should be denied their...

True to form, Laura Carno, directly talks her way through some of the most controversial issues of our time.

Armed Heroes in Teacher’s Clothing

by Rob Morse

7:00am Wednesday, July 13, 2016

They don’t look like heroes, but they are. I spent several days with a group of Ohio teachers who want to protect their students. Most teachers feel the same way, but these extraordinary individuals did something about it. They took a training course. They learned to stop an armed attack in their schools.
