The Unabridged Second Amendment

12:05am Wednesday, August 15, 2007
The following was originally published in 1991 by the Second Amendment Foundation's The New Gun Week magazine. by J. Neil Schulman If you wanted to know all about the Big Bang, you'd ring up Carl Sagan, right? And if you wanted to know about desert warfare, the man to call would be Norman Schwartzkopf, no question about it. But who would you call if you wanted the top expert on American usage, to...

Newsweek Photo Gallery: "One Nation, Under Gun"

12:10am Tuesday, August 14, 2007
Inspired by a dinner conversation with an ex-staffer for a 2004 Presidential candidate whose job it was to "wrangle" the gun vote, photographer Kyle Cassidy wanted to find out who gun owners are, what they look like and how they live. So he traveled 15,000 miles over the course of two years taking pictures of people with their weapons and asking them one question: 'Why do you own a gun?' His new...

HR1897, Carry in National Parks: A bill whose time is past due

12:05am Monday, August 13, 2007
By Tim Inwood United States Representative Ron Paul has introduced a bill that I hope gets some traction. HR1897 would restore our ability to carry firearms in the National Parks for our defense. How important is this? Every year we hear some terrible story of someone getting mauled or killed by wild animals on Federally owned land - land that we are encouraged to visit and pay for, but where we...

12:10am Friday, August 10, 2007
By Ken Hanson In the first part of this series we examined how those who dismiss criminals as being stupid are in fact themselves acting stupid.

Drive-by media quotes ''study'' on drive-bys; Refuses to print response

12:05am Thursday, August 09, 2007
A recent story in the Xenia Gazette, entitled "Ohio fifth on list of states with most drive-by shootings" , was a perfect example of how the vehemently anti-self-defense Violence Policy Center dupes unsuspecting media/news reporters, as well as how lazy journalists irresponsibly run press releases to fill space, as opposed to analyzing the content and understanding the missing/misleading info...

12:10am Wednesday, August 08, 2007
By Larry S. Moore Throughout our history, Buckeye Firearms Association has worked to expose organizations that would deny our rights and freedoms, but who operate in such a manner that unsuspecting gun-owners or sportsmen might be fooled.

Lowest IQ: The criminal or the anti-gunner who believes criminals are dumb?

12:10am Tuesday, August 07, 2007
By Ken Hanson I am not one of those people who go around using Forest Gumpisms, though I did enjoy the movie. “Stupid is as stupid does,” in a more literal sense, means that if you act stupid, you are stupid, regardless of your relative intelligence. I think this is a particularly accurate label for all of the anti-gun arguments that begin with “Do you really believe a criminal is smart enough to...

Prez wanna-be caught on tape: ''NRA...involved in...strategy I don't understand

12:10am Friday, August 03, 2007
By Chad D. Baus As many politically-involved gun owners are aware, there has been a lot of anti-gun rhetoric coming out of New York City from a man whose name is being mentioned among the bloated field of anti-gun Presidential candidates. Consider the following quotes: "In New York City, 90% of the guns that we see come from outside the city of New York." "We've gone to the 9mm weapon for police...

by Jim Irvine

The Temporary Emergency License (TEL) to carry a concealed handgun has caused considerable confusion. The low numbers of issued licenses indicate that there is little demand, people don’t understand the procedures for obtaining one, or they are too big of a hassle to obtain.
