7:00am Tuesday, October 04, 2022
Back in July 2022, I created an action alert to help BFA supporters contact U.S. Senators about H.R. 1808 . The so-called "Assault Weapons Ban of 2022" had just passed the House, and we wanted to discourage the Senate from moving the bill. While I'm sure anti-gun Sen. Sherrod Brown promptly received the email I sent, it's taken two months for him to respond. And oddly, he doesn't comment on H.R...

Largest Gun Owner Survey Ever Proves Gun Grabbers Wrong about Everything

by Dean Rieck
7:00am Tuesday, September 27, 2022
Gun control advocates like to portray American gun owners in a highly unflattering way. According to them, we're a a tiny group of radicals. Hardly anyone uses guns to defend themselves.
