Newsweek Photo Gallery: "One Nation, Under Gun"

Inspired by a dinner conversation with an ex-staffer for a 2004 Presidential candidate whose job it was to "wrangle" the gun vote, photographer Kyle Cassidy wanted to find out who gun owners are, what they look like and how they live. So he traveled 15,000 miles over the course of two years taking pictures of people with their weapons and asking them one question: 'Why do you own a gun?' His new...

HR1897, Carry in National Parks: A bill whose time is past due

By Tim Inwood United States Representative Ron Paul has introduced a bill that I hope gets some traction. HR1897 would restore our ability to carry firearms in the National Parks for our defense. How important is this? Every year we hear some terrible story of someone getting mauled or killed by wild animals on Federally owned land - land that we are encouraged to visit and pay for, but where we...

Better Trained: Cop killers or the police officers they kill?

By Ken Hanson In the first part of this series we examined how those who dismiss criminals as being stupid are in fact themselves acting stupid. In another example of how dangerous it can be to underestimate the two-legged predators who walk among us, the FBI has recently finished a five year study of cop killers and the shootouts that took the officer’s life. While I have only seen a summary and...

Who is to blame when children have accidents with guns?

By Chad D. Baus It's all too familiar a story : A 12-year-old boy was critically injured Tuesday night after he was shot in the chest by a gun that was found in the street. Police said the boy and a 10-year-old friend found the loaded weapon in an alley behind the 300 block of South Napoleon Avenue on the city's east side. "One child, the 10-year-old, was shot in the hand," said Columbus police...

Drive-by media quotes ''study'' on drive-bys; Refuses to print response

A recent story in the Xenia Gazette, entitled "Ohio fifth on list of states with most drive-by shootings" , was a perfect example of how the vehemently anti-self-defense Violence Policy Center dupes unsuspecting media/news reporters, as well as how lazy journalists irresponsibly run press releases to fill space, as opposed to analyzing the content and understanding the missing/misleading info...

HSUS – The Original Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

By Larry S. Moore Throughout our history, Buckeye Firearms Association has worked to expose organizations that would deny our rights and freedoms, but who operate in such a manner that unsuspecting gun-owners or sportsmen might be fooled. The American Hunters and Shooters Association is one such group. Another, larger and much older organization, is the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS...

Lowest IQ: The criminal or the anti-gunner who believes criminals are dumb?

By Ken Hanson I am not one of those people who go around using Forest Gumpisms, though I did enjoy the movie. “Stupid is as stupid does,” in a more literal sense, means that if you act stupid, you are stupid, regardless of your relative intelligence. I think this is a particularly accurate label for all of the anti-gun arguments that begin with “Do you really believe a criminal is smart enough to...
