Some laws grow stale with age and the National Firearms Act (NFA), at 84 years old, is one of those laws that needs complete overhaul, if not repeal. The 1920s and 30s were a period of sensational headlines dealing with interstate bandits and mobsters. You know the names as Hollywood has glorified these thugs in many films over the years: "Baby Face" Nelson, John Dillinger, "Machine Gun" Kelly, "...

CNN Denies Reality of Gun Confiscation to Attack President Trump

7:00am Friday, November 02, 2018

It’s as if someone confiscated the facts from CNN. When it comes to guns or President Donald Trump the self-professed “most trusted name in news” has a difficult time telling the truth. Combine those topics into a single story and the network can’t seem to help but fabricate a story. In an October 19 piece for CNN.com titled, “ The 45 most bizarre lines from Donald Trump's wild Montana speech ,”...

Get out the pro-gun rights vote

by Jim Irvine

3:00pm Monday, October 29, 2018

It’s cliché but true. Whoever gets their people out to vote will win the election. If nothing else, President Trump’s win in 2016 proved that using past models to predict elections is a failed idea. Trump won Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. No Republican candidate has taken those three states since Ronald Reagan won 49 states in 1984, setting a record with 525 electoral votes. The same is...
