"News" Magazines Pretend Murthy Confirmation is a Public Health Imperative

3:00pm Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Defensive gun uses far outnumber suicides with guns and the availability of guns has no effect on suicide rates. Nevertheless, from time to time over the last 28 years, gun control supporters have tried to discourage people from owning guns by suggesting that gun suicides outnumber defensive gun uses. Last week was one of those times, all premised upon the notion that gun suicides are a public...

Information War Brewing?

During dinner Monday night, my wife mentioned something "strange" that happened at work. While ordering computer equipment for her office, the company she was buying from had started asking her some "random" personal questions in order "to make certain" she was the person whose name and password she'd logged in under. She was, but found it odd that the company would be asking, for instance, who...

For Gun Controllers Honesty is NOT the Best Policy

3:00pm Tuesday, April 15, 2014

[Recently], Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) expressed to the audience of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher that he hopes the Democratic Party come outs, not just in favor of more gun control, but against the Second Amendment itself. This is merely the latest episode of an elected official pulling back the curtain on the extreme contempt with which some politicians view the Second Amendment. The...

Contact Your Senators to Stop Feinstein's Proposed Semi-Auto Firearm Importation Ban

7:00am Tuesday, April 15, 2014

As we reported last week, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), sponsor of the federal "assault weapon" and "large" magazine "ban" of 1994-2004, is asking President Barack Obama to direct the BATFE to reinterpret a provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968 to prohibit the importation of various semi-automatic firearms and their parts. In a letter to Obama, the text of which was included in an...

Allow the military to defend themselves at home like they defend us overseas

In the past five years, 30 people have died on military bases in the United States. Not in training accidents, in murders. They've been murdered in the course of going through their daily duties by whacked-out shooters. Twice, Fort Hood, Texas has experienced that horror. And soldiers -and frustration- of being inside the equivalent of a fair-sized city, full of trained -and unarmed -warriors...

Gun ban extremists seek to prevent Ted Nugent from playing Toledo-area summer concert

7:00am Monday, April 14, 2014

Josh Horwitz, of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence (CSGV), an anti-gun group formed in 1974 as the National Coalition to Ban Handguns, has apparently decided it's not just the Second Amendment that he opposes - it's the First Amendment as well. At least, that is, when the person wanting to exercise his First Amendment rights is rocker Ted Nugent. As we reported earlier today, because gun ban...

Anti-Gunners Want Help from Whom?

3:00pm Friday, April 11, 2014

Gun bans, magazine bans, a background check expansion designed to pave the way for gun registration, and efforts to prevent people from carrying firearms for protection are all serious business. However, it's sometimes healthy to be able to see a little humor in things that are otherwise not humorous. Take anti-gun activists' latest tactic, for example. Thus far unable to convince a majority of...

School Knife Attack: No Blood Dancing by Anti-Gun Rights Extremists

by Jim Shepherd

7:00am Friday, April 11, 2014

With 20 high school students stabbed or cut by a 16-year old classmate at Franklin Regional Senior High School in Murraysville, Pennsylvania, the typical media saturation coverage is not at the level you might expect. For this normally quiet, upscale town of 20,000, it was another one of those "it can't happen here" moments. And they're quietly dealing with the shock and sadness that accompanies...
