Recognizing the Sound of Gunfire

by Greg Ellifritz

7:00am Friday, December 18, 2015

With all the recent active shooter/active killer events happening worldwide, I’m continuing to see reports of the exact same phenomenon….people don’t recognize the sounds of gunfire when they are being shot at. In almost every mass shooting, victims report that they heard a loud noise, but thought it was some other more innocuous sound. In a recent school shooting , Jordan Coates, a student at...

by Dean Rieck

3:00pm Thursday, December 17, 2015

You've spent a good portion of your life supporting the fight for Second Amendment rights. You're a member of the NRA. Maybe you're a member of BFA too. You've been shooting, collecting, and enjoying firearms for as long as you can remember. And now, as you get a little older, you start to think about whether those rights will be there for future generations. After all, you've seen endless...

Washington Post Skewers Obama on Shootings, Vindicates Rubio and Gun Rights Position

3:00pm Wednesday, December 16, 2015

Just as the New York Times is doing its best to shrug off whatever remaining journalistic integrity the paper might have had, the country’s other major establishment newspaper, the Washington Post, has managed to check some facts without their usual bias. The Post’s Fact Checker column concluded that Barack Obama deserved a rebuke for some of his recent comments on gun control, while giving a...

Action Needed! Urge Your U.S. Rep to Vote Against Any Anti-Gun Amendments

7:00am Wednesday, December 16, 2015

In the wake of [the recent terror attack] in San Bernardino, California, President Obama and the usual cast of anti-gun politicians were -- again -- quick to exploit an act of terrorism to push for more gun control. The president suggested the NRA was somehow to blame for the tragedy, and when addressing the nation over the weekend, he predictably called for new gun laws. This time, the president...

New York Times Calls for Gun Confiscation

3:00pm Tuesday, December 15, 2015

Never let it be said that the New York Times can’t recognize the important moments in American history, nor muster the courage to express its opinions on its front page when the situation demands. In 1920, for example, feeling strongly about the upcoming presidential election, the newspaper published a front-page editorial criticizing the Republican Party for nominating Warren Harding. In that...
