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. Make no mistake, this is ONLY about setting up a process which can be later used for registration of guns and gun owners. What is needed are not more background check laws, but...

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.

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. Modern mass killers generally display three traits: 1) they suffer from severe depression, 2) they feel socially isolated, 3) they are pathologically narcissistic, convinced that they have been wronged or cheated by society.
