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

3:00pm Thursday, June 18, 2015

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.

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

by Jeff Knox

7:00am Thursday, June 18, 2015

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.

"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.

Gun Control: Washington Whispers, Industry Prepares

by Jim Shepherd

7:00am Tuesday, June 16, 2015

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.
