Recognizing the Sound of Gunfire

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...

Planned Giving: How to Provide a Lasting Legacy of Freedom

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.

The fall-out from my November 30 article exposing a large number of faculty at Bowling Green State University (BGSU) for having used university resources to lobby against House Bill 48 (Eliminate many 'no-guns' victim zones) and highlighting comments from Dr. James E.

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

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

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...
