Hey New York Times...What “Strong Case” for Gun Registration?

3:00pm Tuesday, June 21, 2016

Most guns aren’t registered, most gun owners aren’t licensed, and firearm-related violent crime is at nearly an all-time low, but in the New York Times [recently], gun control supporter Alan Berlow claimed that “the case for registration and licensing is stronger now than ever.” The rest of Berlow’s theory is just as illogical. Berlow says that because the federal government hasn’t confiscated...

“Journalists” Renew Attack Upon “Assault Weapons”

7:00am Tuesday, June 21, 2016

Katie Couric may be the journalist – we use the term loosely – that for the last few days has been taking the most heat for dishonest coverage of guns. But some in the TV “news” business have been just as dishonest in the past, and others are just as dishonest today. In the early days of the “assault weapon” issue, network news programs ran footage of machine guns being fired during stories about...

No Surprise, Gun Control Initiatives Are Funded by a Few Anti-Gun Billionaires

3:00pm Monday, June 20, 2016

Contrary to the grassroots image that anti-gun groups try to portray, their funding continues to come from large donations by billionaires who are driving an anti-gun agenda. Perhaps the worst examples of this trend can be found in Nevada and Maine where voters will consider gun control ballot initiatives this November. In each state, nearly identical ballot language seeks to require every...

by Chris Cox

7:00am Monday, June 20, 2016

Destroy radical Islam, not the right of law-abiding Americans to protect themselves. Americans were shocked and disgusted to learn of another act of terrorism on our soil, this time in Orlando.

They are desperate to...

Op-Ed: In an active killer terror attack, waiting will get you killed

by Ed Monk

3:00pm Thursday, June 16, 2016

We now have a new high score. The mass murder inside a gay nightclub in Orlando has surpassed the Aurora, CO theater shooting as having the highest number of victims and highest number of murders among active shooter attacks in the US. Political gamesmanship will fill the media for the weeks to follow the massacre, but will government leaders, business owners or education administrators do...

Portman stands firm on gun purchases and the terror watchlist despite media misrepresentation

by Chad D. Baus

7:00am Thursday, June 16, 2016

Should persons who are placed on secret government lists without due process or any way to appeal automatically have their Second Amendment rights violated? Last December, following a terrorist attack in San Bernadino, CA, Senator Rob Portman (R-OH) joined a majority of his fellow U.S. senators in voting AGAINST an amendment proposed by Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) that would have given the U.S...
