NRA Stops U.N. Arms Trade Treaty

7:00am Monday, July 30, 2012

U.N. ATT Conference Comes to an Impasse The Conference on the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (U.N. ATT) has broken down and will not report a draft treaty to the member nations. This is a big victory for American gun owners, and the NRA is being widely credited for killing the U.N. ATT. For nearly 20 years, the NRA has worked tirelessly to warn American gun owners about the United Nations’...

The U.N.’s Latest Attack on Liberty Arms Trade Treaty promises U.S. harm

3:00pm Friday, July 27, 2012

by Jeff Knox I have to admit that I was skeptical about the U.N. ever getting their act together enough to construct an Arms Trade Treaty that they could all agree on, but I underestimated the level of cooperation attainable by that body when their target is liberty. With the terrorist-exporting state of Iran in a leadership role, the committee has been plowing down obstacles and rapidly moving...

by Chad D. Baus and Jim Irvine Ask any politically-minded gun owner who stays abreast of current events why they believe Barack Obama is anti-gun, and they will quickly respond with a litany of reasons, dating from his days in Illinois as a state senator and Joyce Foundation board member, as well as his days in the U.S. Senate. Most will also be able to rattle off examples of President Obama's...

Buckeye Vintage Skeet Championships: A Step Back In Time

3:00pm Thursday, July 26, 2012

by Larry S. Moore Vintage is used to describe many things including wine, art, automobiles and firearms. For the Buckeye Vintage Skeet Championship, vintage is a step back in time for skeet shooters. Vintage skeet pays tribute to the heritage of skeet shooting and the fine shotguns of an earlier period. Vintage may define the best and most typical of an age. I like that definition for the sport...

Disinformation Continues as U.N. Arms Treaty Takes Shape

7:00am Thursday, July 26, 2012

In New York this week, the U.N. Conference on the Arms Trade Treaty continued trying to draft a treaty to impose worldwide controls on small arms, including civilian-owned firearms. The NRA has made clear its opposition to any treaty that includes civilian firearms, and continues to note that a majority of the United States Senate stands with American gun owners in opposition to such a treaty. We...

How long is too long to wait to defend the Second Amendment?

7:00am Wednesday, July 25, 2012

by Chad D. Baus This year marks my tenth year as a Second Amendment writer. Throughout the years, I've covered far too many multiple victim public shootings. Buckeye Firearms Association has always sought to be sensitive to the fact that these aren't just news stories - they are real victims with real families grieving painful losses. Unfortunately, in the hyper (and hyper-political) news cycle...
