Handguns Magazine MUST READ: "Serial Killers"

12:05am Monday, August 11, 2008
As many as 10 states are considering serialization laws. “If you can’t grab their guns, get their ammo!” That’s apparently the newest gun control approach popping up in state legislatures across the country under the heading of “bullet serialization.” Advertised by the antis as a way to stop crime, bullet serialization is actually an unproven technology, which, if mandated, would increase the...

Proof: Believe the NRA when it says gun ban extremists are lying

12:10am Thursday, August 07, 2008
By Chad D. Baus Having adopted the deceptive tactics suggested a few years ago by billionaire gun-hater Andrew McKelvey, gun and hunting ban lobbyist groups go to great lengths these days to deny that their ultimate goals are to stamp out all civilian ownership of firearms, or to eradicate all forms of hunting. In response to warnings by grassroots pro-Second Amendment groups about these anti-gun...

12:05am Thursday, August 07, 2008
The Washington Post is reporting that Democratic leaders in the U.S. House of Representatives have agreed to allow a vote next month on a bill that would end local handgun control in the District, making it easier for D.C. residents to acquire pistols, including semiautomatics, while eliminating the strict handgun-storage requirements imposed by the city. Even as Democrats shuttered the Capitol...

The ACLU's hypocritical position on the Second Amendment

12:10am Wednesday, August 06, 2008
By Brian S. Stewart “The ACLU interprets the Second Amendment as a collective right. Therefore, we disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision in D.C. v. Heller .” Gun rights advocates have long charged that the ACLU are left-wing activists first, “civil rights advocates” a very distant second. The organization has confirmed it with this position , and buried their collectivist heads in the sand...

Guns Are Not Right Wing, Guns Are Patriotic

12:05am Wednesday, August 06, 2008
By John Longenecker Predators In The Bigger Cities Who Refuse Safer Streets. There is a big difference between being Conservative and being Patriotic. Elephants and Donkeys can agree on many, many questions on how we run our country, come to the same conclusions and get a lot of business done. And a lot of Conservatives can drop the ball and refuse to see the citizen authority - lethal force...

More Guns, Less Road Rage in Ohio

12:10am Tuesday, August 05, 2008
By Chad D. Baus The Associated Press is reporting that Ohio State Highway Patrol figures prove road rage is on the decline in Ohio. While there could be many causes for this good news (Patrol spokeswoman Anne Ralston speculates that reduced travel due to higher gas prices is having an effect), one truth is certain: Gun ban extremists' dire warnings about what would happen if Ohio passed a...

Illinois' Blagojevich and Daley – A Tale of Two Failures

12:10am Monday, August 04, 2008
By Gerard Valentino Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich recently offered to call out the Illinois National Guard to help Chicago fight the recent spike in violence that has catapulted the City into the national news. Daley didn’t immediately accept the Governor’s offer of help and the two most powerful leaders in Illinois missed the irony of the offer. There is a reason 'citizen' comes before '...

Op-Ed: Obama's Shifting Positions Leave Questions Unanswered On Guns...

12:05am Monday, August 04, 2008
By John Lott Sen. Barack Obama claims there has been only a "shift in emphasis," not "wild shifts," in his political positions. Many already know the list: Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, NAFTA, public financing of campaigns, abortion, gay marriage, Social Security taxes, the death penalty and negotiating with rogue nations. Possibly one of the more remarkable changes has been his position...

Op-Ed: Gunning for Nov.

12:10am Friday, August 01, 2008
It’s not easy to get lawmakers to pay attention to issues other than energy and housing when gas is $4 per gallon and banks are announcing record losses due to failing mortgage investments. Yet that’s exactly what the National Rifle Association is attempting to do by grading members on whether they sign a discharge petition to force a vote on an NRA-backed bill. Given the lobby’s clout, the...

They begged for it and they got it: Heller sues D.C. again

12:10am Thursday, July 31, 2008
By Tim Inwood In a very foolish move, the City of Washington D.C. has put itself back in the position of being sued by the same man for the same reasons, in just over a month. Dick Heller was victorious on June 26th, when the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the historic judgment striking down the city’s thirty-two year old handgun ban, but in a rather stupid move, the city of Washington D.C...

Federal Judge Hands Huge Defeat to Florida Business Lobby on "Guns-at-Work" law

12:05am Thursday, July 31, 2008
The Florida Chamber of Commerce and The Florida Retail Federation argued for three years that business owners had an absolute right to control their employees. That's why they kept calling it the "take-your-guns-to-work" legislation. They claimed they could search employee vehicles and ban firearms from those vehicles in the employer's parking lot. They claimed businesses didn't care if customers...

Bob Barr blasts D.C. for flouting Heller decision on gun control, other Prez candidates for silence on same

12:10am Wednesday, July 30, 2008
In an email addressed "Dear fellow gun owner", Libertarian presidential candidate and NRA Board of Directors member Bob Barr wrote: Just a few weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Washington's gun ban unconstitutional, the city government there is passing new ordinances that might as well be a renewal of the ban as it requires that guns kept there be locked up and/or disassembled. Their new...

Observations from the July OGCA & discussions on Heller

12:05am Wednesday, July 30, 2008
By Tim Inwood The hot steamy weekend of July 19th was the latest gathering of the Ohio Gun Collectors Association. The show was held at Roberts Centre in Wilmington, Ohio and as always it was the place to be for the serious gun enthusiast. It truly is like going to a museum where the artifacts on display, are also for sale. The issue is always how much money you can bring. Some folks do bring...

Washington, D.C. and Mayor Fenty still hate guns

12:05am Tuesday, July 29, 2008
By Brian S. Stewart Mayor Adrian Fenty and the anti-gun elites of Washington D.C. recently unveiled the district’s inevitable response to the historic D.C. v. Heller decision by the United States Supreme Court. The Court struck down the District’s blanket ban on handgun ownership (including inside the home) en route to establishing the Second Amendment as an individual right. On July 14th, the...

Taken from the most recent “Page Nine” Alan Korwin’s “The Uninvited Ombudsman Report” 1- Hero Joe Horn The lamestream media told you: Joe Horn, a 62-year-old Texas man, was cleared by a grand jury of murder charges in the shotgun slaying of two men on his property.

Victim Zones: We have to move the goal posts

12:10am Friday, July 25, 2008
By Gerard Valentino Two more businesses where legal concealed carry is banned were robbed last week in Ohio. A BMV office on the east side of Columbus (a victim zone by statute) was robbed on the same day as a branch of Fifth Third Bank, which is a "gun free" zone due to the company’s private policy. Clearly, it doesn’t matter why concealed carry is forbidden at a location, because the results...

BOOK REVIEW: “Hunting as a Right of Passage” by Dr. Randall Eaton

12:05am Friday, July 25, 2008
By Larry S. Moore I often look at books and studies relating to hunting, trapping or Second Amendment issues. Some are saved for possible reference; most are skimmed and discarded, while occasionally the author really grabs my attention. Perhaps this is because the author is breaking new ground, presenting the facts and conclusion in a fresh manner, or even just reaffirming values that were...

12:10am Wednesday, July 23, 2008
By Jim Irvine A law that protects the right of Floridians to keep their guns locked in their personal vehicles at work took effect on July 1. HB503 will prevent employers from searching cars and firing employees for having guns or a concealed weapons license. Too often people in other states look to Florida’s good firearms laws and wish we could pass good laws so easily. It’s not always as easy...
