Obama administration caught "loading their guns" for a new round of anti-gun legislation For a decade, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been forbidden by Congress from doing research on gun-control issues.

Sometimes Criminals Walk Among Us: Self-Enforcement is Key at Gun Shows

12:10am Wednesday, November 04, 2009

By Gerard Valentino The national establishment media is getting a lot of mileage from another of New York Mayor Bloomberg's dirty tricks. In this case, the Mayor sent private investigators to gun shows in several states to prove that illegal gun trafficking is taking place, and that criminals can easily buy firearms in unregulated private transactions. Video collected at several guns shows showed...

Prosecution as Punishment: The Troubling Case of Albert Kwan

12:05am Wednesday, November 04, 2009

By Jeff Knox People who "have nothing to hide" are often quite happy to answer any questions and consent to any intrusion a police officer might ask of them. They may even invite officers to "look around" if they want to.

Yet again, it was a high school age victim, and the altercation was gang related.

Back in June, we reported on a proposed U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rule change that would have expanded the Switchblade Knife Act of 1958 to include spring-assisted or one-handed-opening knives, and would have directly targeted the importation of "assisted opening" folding knives.

Gun Shows Need to be Proactive to Survive

12:10am Friday, October 30, 2009

By Publius Mayor Bloomberg's "investigation" of gun shows in Ohio presents an opportunity for gun owners in the Buckeye state - an opportunity that we must seize if gun shows are to survive. The choice facing us is simple: Change how gun shows operate, or gun shows will be legislated/litigated out of business. The loss of gun shows would be a devastating blow to the First Amendment rights of gun...
