Gun Control Called "Absurd" on Anti-Gun Website

To say the very least, articles questioning the advisability of gun control are few and far between on HuffingtonPost.com. Recently, however, a blogger on the normally anti-gun website expressed views that are liable to work gun control supporters into a tizzy. In a piece titled In Gun Control Controversy, Can Americans Handle the Truth? , self-described public relations consultant Mario Almonte...

Stop Obama's Planned Gag Order on Firearm-Related Speech

It's happening again— President Obama is using his imperial pen and telephone to curb your rights and bypass Congress through executive action. Even as news reports have been highlighting the gun control provisions of the Administration's "Unified Agenda" of regulatory objectives, the Obama State Department has been quietly moving ahead with a proposal that could censor online speech related to...

Fanciful "Smart Gun" Bill Seeks to Make Law Out of Wishful Thinking

We all have our hopes for the future. In that regard, we're not so different from Senators Edward J. Markey and Elizabeth Warren (both D-Mass.). Where we're just a little bit different, however, is that while we recognize some people might wish to replace travel by automobiles with on-demand flight via pollution-free unicorns, we're not sure a law to that affect is really necessary. Similarly,...

New bill mandates flying cars! (or, The disarmist crowd and their 'smart guns')

Democrats in Congress have introduced legislation requiring that five years after its passage, all handguns manufactured or imported into the U.S. must have “personalization” technology incorporated into them that prevents “unauthorized” users from firing them. OK, that’s not a mandate for flying cars, but it might as well be. The comparison is very appropriate. Currently, there are prototypes...

Buckeye Firearms Association sponsors two members of Ohio 4-H Shooting Sports Team at 2015 National Championships

"Have you ever been to Nebraska?" I can still remember hearing that question in a January phone conversation with my friend and fellow 4-H instructor, Frank Steed. He told me that his son Jimmy Steed and my son, Levi Mercer had been offered spots on the Ohio 4-H Shooting Sports Team to compete at the National 4-H Championship in Grand Island, Nebraska. We both thought WOW!...What an opportunity…...

NRA-Backed Measures Aimed at Reversing Obama Administration's Implementation of Gun Control Through Executive Action

Fairfax, Va. – The National Rifle Association Institute for Legislative Action (NRA-ILA) [recently] lauded the passage of H.R. 2578, the Fiscal Year 2016 Commerce, Justice and Science Appropriations Act (CJS), which contained strong pro-Second Amendment provisions aimed at stopping the Obama Administration from enacting its gun control agenda through executive action. "On behalf of the NRA's five...

Gun Control: Washington Whispers, Industry Prepares

If the whispers in the hallways of Congress are any indication, the Obama administration is gearing up for as many as a dozen regulations which, although described as public safety issues are really gun restrictions.
