By Gerard Valentino The District of Columbia v. Heller case was argued before the United States Supreme Court just a few days ago. If the arguments were indicative of the final ruling, gun owners are in for the victory of our lifetime – or any lifetime.

By Alan Korwin The bottom line is, I think we’re going to be OK.

Everyone who takes the time to objectively investigate the gun control issue...
