A gun control treaty to destroy the 2nd Amendment. The true scope of the anti-firearm crusade of the United Nations, which began more than a dozen years ago, finally is coming into clear focus, as the White House readies to sign the Arms Trade Treaty adopted with U.S. support this past April by the U.N. General Assembly. The reach ... MORE

Jonathon Moseley: Right Of Self-Defense 1, Obama 0
Creepy crackers are not the problem. Destroying the Second Amendment and the people's right of self-defense was the real goal of the George Zimmerman prosecution. Liberals hoped to scare gun owners, regardless of the eventual verdict. Traumatizing and intimidating people from using a firearm to defend themselves were what this case ... MORE
Emily Miller: Using Taxes To Threaten 2nd Amendment
Making self-protection unaffordable. Liberals are trying every tool at their disposal this year to go after guns. They have failed on Capitol Hill to restrict the Second Amendment, so they are moving through the states to enact their agenda. The latest maneuver is to hike the tax on guns and ammunition to dissuade the law-abiding ... MORE
Katie Kieffer: The Two Most Beautiful Women
Beauty for the ages. Two women are tied for the title of Most Beautiful Woman in America. Veritable goddesses, they show no trace of vanity. Their beauty is a gift to America and they deserve our attention. Unlike Victoria’s Secret Angels, these two women are ageless; their attractiveness becomes more apparent with time. They echo ...

The NRA, The NSA And The Politics Of Individualism
A reactive rise in civil libertarians. Much of the right-wing resistance to the post-Newtown gun control push was animated, not by gun owners’ commitment to hunting or personal defense, but by the idea that an armed society is a fundamental safeguard against government tyranny. For example, in a hearing on gun control, NRA leader ... MORE
Barry Friedman: Guns, Pot And States Rights
Regulation is not prohibition. Kansas recently adopted a so-called "Second Amendment Protection Act." The law provides that Kansans can ignore any federal law that attempts to regulate guns in Kansas if the guns in question were made in Kansas and stay there. It would apply, for example, to a federal ban on assault weapons. Yet more ... MORE

The Boston Mindset: Cringe Like Sheep
A reality check from William A. Levinson. Colonel Jeff Cooper's To Ride, Shoot Straight, and Speak the Truth describes exactly what is wrong with the United States today. Cooper wrote of the society in which he grew up during the 1930s. Boys were taught to shoot and use their hands, and girls were taught to expect that in their men. ... MORE

Missouri Gun Control Nullification Bill Passes
Will not allow feds to run roughshod over Constitution. As gun control legislation stalls in Washington DC, Missouri is taking matters into its own hands. Known as the “Second Amendment Preservation Act,” House Bill 436 passed
the Missouri House of Representatives 117-43. If the bill becomes state
law, it will nullify new federal gun laws. It would prohibit ... MORE
Washington Times: A Good Day For The 2nd Amendment
Common sense prevails in Senate! The president raged. The mayor of New York frothed. Joe Biden cried. But at the end of the day, common sense prevailed. The Senate killed the effort to unreasonably expand background checks for buyers of guns. The measure is not quite graveyard dead; it can be brought up again, but prospects for ... MORE

Dana Loesch: When Tryanny Masquerades As Stupidity
The belief that criminals will abide gun laws. When Democrats passed the assault weapons ban in 1994 it didn’t
prevent further gun-related crime or stop the Columbine massacre.
Connecticut’s own assault weapons ban did nothing to prevent Adam Lanza from committing theft (another crime) to illegally
posses a gun that he used illegally. The small ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Guns Save Lives
An inconvenient truth for the left. We all know that guns can cost lives because the media repeat this
message endlessly, as if we could not figure it out for ourselves. But
even someone who reads newspapers regularly and watches numerous
television newscasts may never learn that guns also save lives— much
less see any hard facts comparing how ... MORE

Paul Brown: The Semantics Of Gun Control
Same weapons can be for assault or defense. Since the SenateJudiciary Committee passed Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s “assault weapons” ban March 14, a fitting question might be, what is an “assault weapon”? A term that originated in the 1980s, it was popularized after the original “assault weapons” ban in 1994. “Assault weapon” is now ls that would be more accurately described as “defense weapons.” ...

New York State Offers $500 Reward To Gun Tattletails
Government subsidizes citizen defenselessness. For more than a year, New York state has maintained a tip line allowing people to report illegal gun owners and collect a $500 reward. CBS-6 news reported the existence of the tip line on Wednesday. It was previously a “well-kept secret” that received little promotion from state officials or ... MORE
Garth Kent: 340 Sheriffs Refuse To Enforce Gun Control
Standing up against unenforceable knee-jerk reactions. A Colorado sheriff has joined the list of at least 340 sheriffs who
have vowed to uphold the Constitution against gun-control measures that
violate Americans’ Second Amendment rights. Weld County Sheriff John Cooke said he and many other county sheriffs “won’t bother enforcing”
laws ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: A Real Term Limit
For vision beyond the next election cycle. The main thing wrong with the term limits movement is the "s" at the end of the word "limit." What are advocates of term limits trying to accomplish? If they are
trying to keep government from being run by career politicians, whose
top priority is getting themselves reelected, then term limits on given ... MORE

Andrew Napolitano: The Right To Self-Defense
To right to self-protect preceded government. In all the noise caused by the Obama administration's direct assault on the right of every person to keep and bear arms, the essence of the issue has been drowned out. The president and his big-government colleagues want you to believe that only the government can keep you free and safe, so to them, ... MORE
What Does DOJ REALLY Think About Gun Control?
by Melancton Smith. According
to a DOJ memo obtained by the NRA, Washington really knows that assault
weapons are infrequently used in crimes and that banning high capacity
magazines really will not change anything. These are just drums beat by
the administration to get the public in a frenzy over the “epidemic” of
gun violence. So what do they ... MORE
