Double-Standards in D.C.

4:00pm Wednesday, October 23, 2013
As most Americans know, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives--and perhaps others in the Obama administration--knowingly allowed guns to be smuggled from the United States to Mexican drug-smuggling cartels, on the hope that the guns would be recovered at Mexican crimes scenes and eventually traced to sales in the United States. The goal of the effort, dubbed Operation Fast and...

BATFE Solicits Comments on Poorly-Conceived NFA Transfer Proposal

8:00am Tuesday, October 22, 2013
As we previously reported, the Obama administration, via the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, has proposed a new rule governing applications by legal entities such as trusts and corporations to make and transfer National Firearms Act (NFA) firearms. To justify the proposed rule, the administration and BATFE have stated that over 39,000 applications for transfers of NFA...

Senate.gov Invents Second Amendment Controversy

8:00am Tuesday, October 08, 2013
Perhaps we were too harsh on textbook publishers last week for botching the proper interpretation of the Second Amendment, as even those in charge of the official website of a body sworn to "support and defend the Constitution of the United States" apparently can't be expected to get it right. The official website of the United States Senate features a "Virtual Reference Desk" section on the...

Not a Peep from Obama: Violent Crime Now at a 42-Year Low

8:00am Monday, October 07, 2013
Last week, the FBI released its national crime report for 2012. By a slight margin, the nation's violent crime rate decreased in 2012--relative to 2011--making it the lowest it has been since 1970. Compared to 1991, when it hit an all-time high, violent crime is down by 49 percent. The nation's murder rate was unchanged in 2012; still lower than any time since 1963 and at nearly an all-time low...

Go West, Young Man! An Ohio Activist's Experience in the Colorado Recall Elections

8:00am Tuesday, October 01, 2013
by Sean Maloney Whether across the street, across town, across the state line, or across the country, we as EVCs or NRA-ILA Volunteers, should not limit our volunteerism by self-imposed geographic borders. What we offer as experienced grassroots activists is unique, highly respected by those we assist, and feared by those who oppose us and the liberty we fight to protect. Just because the area...

CONTACT YOUR SENATORS TODAY AND ASK THEM TO OPPOSE THE U.N. ARMS TRADE TREATY Today, Secretary of State John Kerry signed the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty on behalf of the Obama administration. The National Rifle Association strongly opposes this treaty, which is a clear violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. "The Obama administration is once again demonstrating its...

Josh Horowitz's anti-gun rights rhetoric: What a Difference a Year Makes

4:00pm Tuesday, September 24, 2013
With apologies to the late, great Dinah Washington, who popularized María Graver's fine song, What a Difference a Day Makes, we marvel at what a difference a year has made for Josh Horwitz, of the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, formerly known as the National Coalition to Ban Handguns. Last year, Horwitz told Sally Sara, an Australian reporter for ABC News, "I think the proliferation of firearms...

New York Times: Burden More Gun Buyers with "Woefully Flawed" FBI Checks

4:00pm Tuesday, September 17, 2013
In a scathing editorial published August 18, titled, A Flawed Background-Check System , the New York Times takes to task the Federal Bureau of Investigation for the detrimental effect the agency's inability to conduct accurate checks has had on job seekers.
