WASHINGTON — Blocked by Congress from expanding gun sale background checks, President Barack Obama is turning to actions within his own power to keep people from buying a gun who are prohibited for mental health reasons. Federal law bans certain mentally ill people from purchasing firearms, but not all states are providing data to stop the […]Continue Reading
Lew Rockwell – by David Hathaway There is a lot of chatter amongst conservative “2nd Amendment cops” and military folks about how they will not obey the orders when the grand pronouncement is made to take guns. It will be a cop sit out. What will really happen is quite different. Your Republican cop or military buddy […]Continue Reading

by Philip Hodges Gun control proponents have been lauding Comcast’s decision to pull advertisements from gun and ammo manufacturers, because it shows that Comcast is brave enough not to let money get in the way of their principled, anti-gun stand. No matter how much gun manufacturers were willing to pay, Comcast wasn’t going to compromise […]Continue Reading

California Democrats are trying to force gun-owners to purchase liability insurance to cover damages or injuries incurred by their firearms, kind of like car […]Continue Reading
The race to further the gun-control agenda in the wake of last month’s tragic shooting by a crazed gunman in Newtown, Connecticut is moving into high gear. The Grand Old Lady of Gun Control, California Senator Diane Feinstein, last week introduced a bill that not only seeks to reinstate the 1994 “Federal Assault Weapons Ban” […]Continue Reading
Ben Shapiro: President Obama is a uniquely gifted demagogue. An orator of unparalleled skill supported by a gushing media, Obama has yet to present a major policy proposal geared toward solving specific problems. But he has won elections.

Instead of addressing crushing deficits, economic stagnation, political gridlock, and the erosion of middle-class security, politicians and pundits obsess over gun violence—one of the few […]Continue Reading
Who isn’t sickened by the moral decay and heinous acts of violence across our country? My heart and prayers continue to go out to victims everywhere. But do gun bans — such as the one proposed this past week by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., which would outlaw 120 specific firearms — curb violent crime? Not […]Continue Reading
By Kris Zane It always happens the same way. There is some horrific massacre. There is a supposed “public outcry” to ban whatever weapons were used. The weapons are banned.
