3:00pm Friday, April 18, 2014

On Monday, NRA filed formal comments in opposition to a plan by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) to expand the categories of persons prohibited under federal law from acquiring or possessing firearms because of having been "adjudicated as a mental defective" or "committed to a mental institution."

One nice thing that can be said for the gun ban extremists from the 1970's - at least they were honest. Groups like Handgun Control Inc. and the Coalition to Ban Handguns didn't try to hide what they are. These days, however, the same people who were involved in those groups are involved in groups like the Brady Campaign To Prevent Gun Violence or the Violence Policy Center. Then there's...

3:00pm Thursday, April 17, 2014

While filming last season's studio segments for "Guns & Gear" TV, SIG SAUER brought several of their new guns to the studio as highlights of their 2014 products. One caught the eye of everyone -including production crew members who normally had no interest. It was, even to a "gun person" a strange-looking thing. The "thing" was SIG's new MPX carbine.

"News" Magazines Pretend Murthy Confirmation is a Public Health Imperative

3:00pm Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Defensive gun uses far outnumber suicides with guns and the availability of guns has no effect on suicide rates. Nevertheless, from time to time over the last 28 years, gun control supporters have tried to discourage people from owning guns by suggesting that gun suicides outnumber defensive gun uses. Last week was one of those times, all premised upon the notion that gun suicides are a public...

Information War Brewing?

by Jim Shepherd

7:00am Wednesday, April 16, 2014

During dinner Monday night, my wife mentioned something "strange" that happened at work. While ordering computer equipment for her office, the company she was buying from had started asking her some "random" personal questions in order "to make certain" she was the person whose name and password she'd logged in under.

[Recently], Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) expressed to the audience of HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher that he hopes the Democratic Party come outs, not just in favor of more gun control, but against the Second Amendment itself. This is merely the latest episode of an elected official pulling back the curtain on the extreme contempt with which some politicians view the Second Amendment. The...

As we reported last week, U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), sponsor of the federal "assault weapon" and "large" magazine "ban" of 1994-2004, is asking President Barack Obama to direct the BATFE to reinterpret a provision of the Gun Control Act of 1968 to prohibit the importation of various semi-automatic firearms and their parts. In a letter to Obama, the text of which was included in an...
