Touting 'smart guns' over traditional firearms is stupid policy

6:00am Tuesday, July 25, 2023

In 2002, Democrat lawmakers in New Jersey passed a first-of-its-kind bill to restrict the handguns that could be sold at retail in that state to “smart guns” (called “personalized guns” in the bill). The law would take effect once the state’s attorney general determined that “at least one manufacturer had delivered at least one production model of a personalized handgun to a registered or...

by Dean Rieck

6:00am Monday, July 24, 2023

Opponents of Issue 1 are throwing a conniption fit over the idea of elevating the standards for amending Ohio's constitution. They keep saying it's "undemocratic" and a "power grab."

by Dean Weingarten
