Here we go again!!! Ban the bump fire stocks! Ban high capacity magazines! Ban evil black assault weapons! And while we're at it, why not repeal the Second Amendment?! --- We've said it before and we'll say it again … all it takes is one terrible event, one news cycle, and suddenly the gun control lobby starts demanding more gun control. The Las Vegas murders prove that again. We mourn this...

With the news of the terrible mass murder in Las Vegas on Sunday, October 1, law-abiding gun owners knew the inevitable would happen: The irrational attacks from the left equating the actions of a deranged killer with the rights of law-abiding gun owners. When do our rights come into play? When do the rights of my wife, sons, and daughter come into play? Why is it that whenever unspeakable evil...

In the wake of a terrible attack in Las Vegas, where a man with as-yet unknown motives carried out a well-planned attack, firing down on confined Las Vegas concert-goers from an elevated position, there have been increasing calls for regulation or even a ban on devices known as "bump stocks."

As Las Vegas authorities ask grieving families and angry politicians for patience, it appears the country expects near-immediate answers for questions that ultimately, may never be answered. The tragedy in Las Vegas wasn't a movie, it was real life. And real life seldom comes with a tidily wrapped up end. In the absence of a conclusion, it seems "the usual suspects" are simply looking to convict...

I spent some time today listening to the audio feed of the police radio traffic for about 90 minutes following the start of the active killer event on Sunday night. If you are interested in active killer response, either from the police or armed citizen perspective, this audio is pure gold. In general, the police had a stellar response.

Blood dancing around the issues

There's not much you can say about evil. It's real. It's everywhere. Evil IS . Nothing will change that. Sunday's horrific mass murders at a gigantic outdoor country music event in Las Vegas qualifies as an act of unspeakable evil perpetrated by a single man. As a husband, father, brother, and son, I hurt for everyone mourning a loss. Beyond that, words fail. But I have plenty I'd like to say...
