BOOK REVIEW: Emily Gets Her Gun…But Obama Wants to Take Yours

By Jim Irvine I've had the pleasure of hearing Emily Miller address groups to tell her story of becoming a D.C. gun owner several times. Emily is a delightful person, has an interesting story to tell and does a great job telling it.

CNN Poll: Fading support for stricter gun control exposes reason why extremists move immediately to exploit tragedy

by Chad D. Baus CNN reported recently that "as memories fade from last December's horrific school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, a new national poll indicates that support for stricter gun control laws appears to be fading, too."

Op-Ed: The gun grab - How ‘zero tolerance’ school policies ignore common sense

By now, you've heard the stories: Florida boy suspended for pointing his finger like a gun. Rhode Island student suspended for bringing quarter-sized gun keychain to class. West Virginia middle schooler arrested for wearing a National Rifle Association t-shirt. Coast-to-coast, it seems our nation's schools have grown so gun-shy that every implementation of a "zero tolerance" policy entails a...

An Example of Why the Administration Wants More Gun Control "Research"

If anyone was still wondering why Congress prohibited the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from using tax dollars to fund gun control advocacy research, and why the White House has called for $10 million in new funding for such research to help the administration "transform" the country's gun laws, the authors of a recent "study" that characterizes gun-owning whites as racists have bent...
