Op-Ed: The Progressive Gun-Control Charade

by Nicholas Johnson

3:00pm Monday, November 02, 2015

After tragedy, politicians glibly call for unworkable reforms—then blame the ‘gun lobby’ when they fail. In the wake of horrific crimes like the recent mass shooting in Oregon, many in the political class respond as if there were an easy way to keep such tragedies from happening. If it weren’t for the stubbornness of the National Rifle Association, the story goes, these deadly incidents could be...

Polls Show Majority of Americans View NRA Favorably, Don’t Want New Gun Controls, and Recognize Right-to-Carry Makes Us Safer

7:00am Monday, November 02, 2015

Earlier this month, we brought attention to Hillary Clinton’s recent comments about how the U.S. Supreme Court was wrong in recognizing that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to keep and bear arms, and just how wildly of step her view is with that of the American people. Polling data released this week from Gallup and ORC International/CNN further underscores the chasm between...

Buckeye Firearms Association PAC issues endorsements in several local contests

3:00pm Friday, October 30, 2015

It would be impossible to research every local race in the state of Ohio. But there are some contests which pique the interest of the Buckeye Firearms Association political action committee (BFA PAC), some because they are between pro-Second Amendment candidates and out-and-out anti-gunners, and others because we wish to support candidates in positions that could one day lead them to the...

Should I Leave the Scene of a Defensive Shooting?

by Greg Ellifritz

7:00am Friday, October 30, 2015

[Recently], I received the following question from one of my readers: “I have discussed ‘what to do’ after a successful ‘stop the threat’ shoot. Some have said that they would leave the scene rather than be subjected to the legal hassle, or additional danger, (depending on the circumstances). Please give me your advice on their reasoning.” I was honestly quite shocked at this one. Are there...

Those Poor Anti-Gun Researchers

3:00pm Thursday, October 29, 2015

In just the last 10 years alone, the Chicago-based Joyce Foundation has donated about $40 million to anti-gun organizations, to conduct research, generate propaganda and develop strategies promoting gun control. That alone ought to be reason enough to toss Mike Stobbe's recent article lamenting the supposed lack of funds available to researchers who produce "studies" promoting gun control...

Is Trump the GunVoter Pick?

by Jeff Knox

7:00am Thursday, October 29, 2015

As early jockeying in the Republican presidential primary competition heats up, front-runner Donald Trump recently made big points with GunVoters by releasing a detailed manifesto declaring his support for the Second Amendment. The statement is clear and unequivocal, unlike the mushy “I support the Second Amendment” sort of rhetoric we so often hear from candidates, particularly northeastern...

Getting Started In 3-Gun

by Dave Dolbee

3:00pm Wednesday, October 28, 2015

Target shooting sports are enjoying a resurgence of popularity across the country these days. But while many people find a sport that “rings their bell,” so to speak, and generally dedicate themselves to that particular activity, there are some who ask the question, why limit yourself to just one gun or one discipline? Why not become proficient with a shotgun on clays, a pistol on steel or paper...
