Legislators fail the Second Amendment when gun owners fail first

1:10am Thursday, March 20, 2008

By Gerard Valentino There can be little doubt that gun control debate in the United States is far from over. Even with Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton refusing to admit their continued willingness to kneel at the altar of gun control, there can be little doubt they will work to disarm honest Americans if elected. Everyone who takes the time to objectively investigate the gun control issue...

Anti-Gun Schemers – More Crow for Dinner Tonight

1:10am Wednesday, March 19, 2008

By Gerard Valentino and Brian Stewart The Texas Department of Public Safety released the number of concealed carry license holders convicted of crimes in 2005.

Why District of Columbia v. Heller should not have been necessary

1:05am Tuesday, March 18, 2008

By Tim Inwood On this day, March 18th, 2008, the eyes of those in this nation who are interested in issues of liberty will be carefully watching the United States Supreme Court wrestle with the meaning of the Second Amendment to the Constitution, and how it applies to the District of Columbia.

By Brian S. Stewart Senator Joe Lieberman was the Democratic vice presidential candidate in 2000 - six years later they effectively kicked him out of the party as a heretic.

Sam Ohlinger, that smiling college kid, was teaching those professional soldiers how to better use them...
