To the Editor: Board should permit teachers to carry guns

3:00pm Friday, March 08, 2013
The following letter was published in the Columbus Dispatch on March 7. Board should permit teachers to carry guns As a teacher at East High School, I think teachers and school personnel with concealed-carry licenses should be allowed to carry their weapon with them to school. The Ohio Revised Code gives teachers and school personnel this right if their Board of Education gives them permission...

7:00am Thursday, March 07, 2013
by Clint Lake This is the first in a monthly series letting BFA supporters tell their unique and compelling stories about how they were introduced to firearms, how firearms and the 2nd Amendment effected their lives, and how they left their own personal impression on the American heritage of gun ownership. My goal is to help those of us fighting the fight to never forget those that have come...

Firearms Industry Moves - Literally, Maybe

3:00pm Tuesday, March 05, 2013
by Jim Shepherd Nearly the end of February and there's no respite in sight for Second Amendment supporters coast-to-coast. California, Colorado, New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Illinois have gotten the most ink, but only a few states don't have some gun legislation being considered. Those fights may prove considerably more costly than most anti-gun politicians seem to think. As is normally the...

Owning firearms is a First Amendment exercise, too!

7:00am Tuesday, March 05, 2013
by Alan Gottlieb Following the hysteria generated by gun prohibitionists in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy, a nationwide rush on gun stores began as citizens bought semiautomatic modern sporting rifles, handguns and ammunition, in effect "making a political statement" about proposals to ban such firearms. Making political statements is what the First Amendment is all about. The so-called "...

Foolish to think 'It can't happen here'

3:00pm Monday, March 04, 2013
by Thomas Lucente As the gun control debate rages on, I have taken some flak for stating, quite correctly, that the sole purpose of the Second Amendment is for the citizenry to protect itself from the government. Period. End of debate. Of course, that leads to nothing but derision from leftist gun-grabbers. The government, their argument goes, is not going to kick in your door. I suspect a few...

Consent of the Governed? Time for Long Look in the Mirror

7:00am Monday, March 04, 2013
by Paul Markel It is no stretch of the imagination that the current political climate is more divisive than it has ever been in modern times. As a nation, we have always had competing parties in our government. However, like a family that argues amongst itself, when an external threat materialized, historically we put aside partisan issues and united. That was the way our parents and grand-...

If only our guns could talk...

3:00pm Friday, March 01, 2013
by Larry S. Moore Every antique gun has a story. Some of that story is recorded in various production and sales records. Far too often records, especially on our "Dear Elsie's" (LC Smith Shotguns) are lost or destroyed. Much of that story rests with the owners who used the gun for hunting, the shooting sports or perhaps their job. Artifacts are perhaps left along with the gun to pique our...

New video crushes myth about large capacity magazines, says CCRKBA

7:00am Friday, March 01, 2013
BELLEVUE, WA – A new video obtained by the Citizens Committee for the Right to keep and Bear Arms destroys the myth surrounding so-called "high capacity magazines" by proving that determined shooters using smaller capacity magazines can fire just as fast, and in some cases even faster despite having to reload.
