Hillary's 'solutions' for killing sprees don't address 2 core problems

by Jeff Knox

7:00am Monday, September 12, 2016

(Image source: FreeImages.com/Kerem Yucel) Democrats have declared gun control as one of their top campaign issues this year (though they call it “gun safety,” “gun reform” or “gun violence prevention” instead of gun control – those terms poll better). They are betting that GunVoters are not really the political powerhouse that we have been reputed to be, and that after atrocities like the San...

Yes, Hillary will abolish the Second Amendment

by Jeff Knox

3:00pm Friday, September 09, 2016

Donald Trump was widely criticized by media, Democrats and even some Republicans after he made a joke regarding Second Amendment remedies to Hillary Clinton’s plan to “essentially abolish” the Second Amendment. As if “reporters,” commentators and politicians were all reading from the same script, they consistently pointed out that Clinton had no such intentions – in spite of the fact that this is...

Cook On a May afternoon at the “Solutionary License to Carry Drive” at the Philadelphia Firearms Academy, men and women filed inside, where they walked through a gun license application process and paid a $35 fee across the street at the official licensing center.

Doctor Prescribes Requiring a “Medical License” for Gun Ownership

3:00pm Thursday, September 08, 2016

In a recent Medical Economics blog, Dr. Monya De wrote a piece titled, “Obtaining an assault rifle should be as difficult as becoming a doctor.” In this outlandish article, De illustrates the difficulties medical students must go through in order to practice medicine. She calls them “model citizens, because model citizens should be the ones holding lives in their hands.” She lists the “strenuous...

Ted Strickland: We built him up; it’s our duty to take him down

by Jim Irvine

7:00am Thursday, September 08, 2016

(AP Photo/David Kohl) For nearly a decade, I’ve referred to Ted Strickland as a “friend.” It always hurts when you lose a friend, but it hurts more when the friend hurts you or betrays your trust. Such things are normally best handled quietly and privately, and I’ve long said I would not air dirty laundry, even as others have told me I must. I see now they are right; this is not just something I...

At the same time establishment newspapers are openly abandoning their usual façade of impartiality in their news coverage, their editorial boards have been working overtime to elect Hillary Clinton. However, few have been doing Robby Mook and David Brock’s work for them quite like the New York Times, as evidenced by a ridiculous pro-Clinton/anti-NRA screed that appeared in the August 14 edition...

Fact check? The Washington Post Fails Again

3:00pm Tuesday, September 06, 2016

It’s embarrassing how shamelessly the Washington Post is shilling for Hillary Clinton nowadays. [Recently], the Post’s “fact-checker,” Glenn Kessler, said that the NRA's new TV ad is wrong, in claiming that Clinton “doesn’t believe in your right to keep a gun at home for self-defense.” Kessler took his shot at the NRA after we outlined how the Post’s editors were disingenuous, at best, in their...

3:00pm Friday, September 02, 2016

Fellow NRA Supporter, With summer drawing to a close, we Americans are now less 100 days from the most important election cycle in modern history. Though it may seem a bit cliché to label it as such, never has so much been at stake where our constitutional rights are concerned. With the Executive, Legislative and Judicial branches all figuratively up for grabs, this November stands to serve as a...

3:00pm Thursday, September 01, 2016

To most level-headed people, a gun is a gun is a gun. So the equipment you own or carry shouldn't matter if you find yourself in court after a self defense shooting. After all, when your life is on the line, you're going to use whatever weapon you have at hand. But as crazy as it seems, some prosecutors will do anything to get a conviction, and that includes trying to turn a jury against you...
