by Jeff Knox

3:00pm Friday, March 21, 2014

The media and gun control advocates often talk about the US “gun culture,” as if those of us who own and appreciate guns are some sort of deviant cult. The reality is, America’s gun culture is part of the dominant American culture; it’s the hoplophobes, with their irrational fear of firearms, who are out of sync with the social norms of most of the country. America’s gun culture is as normal and...

On March 11, billionaire Michael Bloomberg, a hypocrite who enjoys his own private armed security but insists that everyone else's right to bear arms be severely limited or abolished, coordinated groups of anti-gun extremists to join together in a publicity stunt in Columbus. As we have documented in the past, publicity is the one thing Bloomberg and his cronies do well. Of course it helps to...

Twenty Years of Brady Law Failure

by Jeff Knox

3:00pm Wednesday, March 19, 2014

The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence is touting the 20th anniversary of implementation of the Brady Law, requiring that buyers at gun shops pass a background check before every purchase.

More Fuzzy Math: Gun Control Supporters Misrepresent Gun Owner Trends

7:00am Wednesday, March 19, 2014

President Obama absurdly suggested during his State of the Union address in January that "citizenship" means going along with the gun control agenda that he's been pushing for the past 15 months. Nevertheless, anti-gunners -- not banking on Obama's promise to impose that agenda "without Congress" -- are trying to convince politicians that they can vote for gun control without fear of...

Op-Ed: Guns and Deaths, a Non-US problem

by Chuck Michel

3:00pm Tuesday, March 18, 2014

“America has the highest death by guns rate per capita in the world…..fact.” That comment – left on a YouTube video – shows the ignorance of people not in America, and those in the Oval Office or the California state legislature. It is a persistent talking point of gun ban activists, and is adopted as fact by people predisposed to believe that (as the same fellow continued) “America is a screwed...
