Kamala Harris desperately running from her anti-Second Amendment record

6:00am Friday, August 09, 2024
Kamala Harris has a long political record, one that is now coming back to haunt her as she tries to portray herself as competent, professional, and middle-of-the-road.

Bank your vote! Early voting for gun owners in Ohio

6:00am Tuesday, August 06, 2024
For many years, those who support gun control have had a huge advantage in voting because they have encouraged their supporters to vote early, either in-person or absentee by mail. This gives them significantly more time to pile up votes. Plus it helps voter activation groups focus their efforts only on those who have not voted as elections get closer. We need to stop giving them this advantage...
