Op-Ed: U.S. doesn't have gun problem

Another sensational murder, another clarion call from the leftist gun-grabbers. Extremists are so predictable. The clarion call, though, is built on a myth, a myth that somehow the United States is a dangerous place and that guns are the main reason for it. The truth is that the United States is one of the safest countries in the world. While the United States has the largest number of guns per...

Headline: Wadsworth considers dropping gun ban in parks

The Medina Gazette is reporting that another gun control law is about to go down, thanks to the hard work of volunteers from Buckeye Firearms Association and other self-defense rights advocates on a veto override of then-Gov. Bob Taft on HB 347 , which included language introducing a statewide preemption of local gun control laws. From the article : The Wadsworth City Council is considering...

Brady Campaign Criticizes NRA Partnership With Indiana National Guard

Governor Mike Pence recently directed the state’s military bases and training centers to beef up security in response to recent attacks in Tennessee. With this order, he enlisted the National Rifle Association’s world-class training program and trainers. However, per usual, gun control advocates, like the Brady Campaign, placed politics above safety and the lives of our brave men and women. They...

ATTN: High School and College Students, attend the Columbus, Ohio Freedom Conference

As parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles or adults involved the lives of young people, we strive to give them the tools to grow up and be responsible adults and hopefully patriots who love and serve our country. Just as we teach our babies and toddlers not to touch the hot stove, or not to run in the street because it’s dangerous, and just as responsible gun owners train our children safe gun...

Spokesman: Strickland now supports "common sense background checks"

A USA Today article on the Democrat primary race that will determine the challenger to Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) has provided still more evidence that the once-pro-gun Ted Strickland has turned his back on gun owners and the conservative, pro-gun Democrats who have supported him over the years. From the article : Dennis Willard, a spokesman for Strickland, said the former governor supports "...

Regal Cinemas announces plan to search movie patrons

Thanks to a new emphasis on searching the bags of moviegoers, the Regal Cinemas chain is treating its customers to its own brand of security theater. According to a story appearing on NPR , the theater chain has always reserved the right to inspect backpacks and the like to intercept bootleg food and drinks. Now, however, the company is claiming ticket takers will be routinely conducting searches...

FoxNews.com highlights BFA article on gun ban extremists "swatting" gun owners

On Monday, August 31, my article entitled " Anti-Gun Group Wants Gun Owners Killed? " was published at BuckeyeFirearms.org. The article documents a recent case of the rabidly anti-self-defense Coalition to Stop Gun Violence becoming the latest gun control extremist group to advocate calling police any time they see a gun owner in public. I correctly identified the practice for what it is: "...

Observations on the Virginia news crew murders

I’m not going to write an in-depth article on the recent Virginia news crew killings. While the attack loosely qualifies as an “active killer” event, the victims weren’t randomly chosen. This was the work of a man who had a serious mental illness. He was trying to make a statement, but wasn’t going for the massive body count that we see in most active killer crimes. There are however, a couple of...

The Virginia news crew murders and media agenda to bury the truth

On Wednesday, August 26th, as the event was broadcast live, a deranged former journalist bent on revenge and a twisted desire to start a race war, murdered two of his former colleagues. We all know the basic story, and many have seen the first-person shooter footage shot by the killer as he murdered Alison Parker and Adam Ward, and wounded Vicki Gardner. This set the wheels in motion in news...

Guaranteed Ways to Lose Hunting Access

The outdoor industry has been making a big push over the past two years to assure access to the country's public lands. It has largely been effective, with some states having gone so far as to pass laws guaranteeing access rights to hunter, shooters and anglers. But there's also a largely unrecognized pushback to block that access in what has been recognized as the Achilles heel of the access...
