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...

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.
