by Sheldon Richman. Only you are guaranteed to be present at an attack against you. What passes for thinking about the prevention of gun violence is not thinking at all. Thinking (as problem-solving) is a search for means that can be reasonably expected to achieve a given end. By reasonably I mean that supporting arguments can be provided to ... MORE

Frank Newport: Gallup Poll Reveals That 51% Of Country Still Fail To See Government As An Immediate Threat
Half the country is oblivious to lost liberty. Almost half of Americans, 49%, say the federal government poses "an immediate threat to the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens," similar to what was found in previous surveys conducted over the last five years. When this question was first asked in 2003, less than a third of Americans held ... MORE

Walter E Williams: Constitutional Ignorance And Dereliction
It's about preserving liberty. The nation's demagogues and constitutionally ignorant are using the
Charleston, South Carolina, AME church shooting to attack the Second
Amendment's "right of the people to keep and bear Arms." A couple of
years ago, President Barack Obama said, "I have a profound respect for
the traditions of hunting that ... MORE
Thomas Sowell: Gun Control Laws Protect Criminals
Criminals like their victims disarmed. The gun control controversy is only the latest of many issues to be debated almost solely in terms of fixed preconceptions, with little or no examination of hard facts.

Kimberly Morin: TYRANNY ALERT! Obama Writes New Rules To Throw Gun Owners In JAIL For Doing THIS Online …
Criminalizing speech in America. According to a new State Department mandate, they want to end the sharing of technical data on line. It’s not clear why they want to do this other than to restrain free speech but they posted their new proposal on June 3rd. And while this ridiculous proposal would affect thousands or even millions of ... MORE
Hillary: Resistance To Gun Control 'Terrorizes' The Nation
Not a fan of gun rights. If Hillary Clinton ever gets around
to telling voters her positions on controversial issues, it is not
clear what she will say about gun control. Over the years, her stance
has ranged from support for gun licensing and registration to an
NRA-esque desire
to "enforce the laws that we have on the books." Still, her disregard
for armed self- ... MORE
Obama Not Done With Unilateral Moves On Gun Control
by Michael F. Haverluck. Unloading his latest round of gun-control legislation, President
Barack Obama's executive fiat is poised to stop Americans from buying
and selling a traditional form of ammunition that has been one of the
country's favorites for generations — the .223-caliber "green-tipped"
bullet. It's commonly used in an array of rifles ... MORE
Are Guns About To Become Off-limits In California?
by Pete D'Amato. Lefty politicians plot to neuter the 2nd Amendment. California's requirement of 'microstamping' technology means that no guns manufactured after 2013 have been sold in the state, known as having some of the strictest gun control laws. Now gun-rights groups are hoping that a federal judge will overturn the provision that gun ... MORE

Brian Doherty: Making Colorado Safe For Guns And Pot
Marijuana smokers and the right to carry guns. Two Colorado firearms instructors are planning a ballot initiative in
their state to help smash a huge violation of citizens' rights:
that marijuana smokers, according to the federal government, are
not allowed to own guns. The
1968 Gun Control Act declared in section 922(g)
that unlawful ... MORE
Medical Doctors, Organizing To Restrict Your Freedom
by Mike Sweeney. Going back over the last two to three years we have often encountered groups of medical doctors who are organizing, crafting a message, and implementing protocols which will enable them to strip a law abiding citizen of their Second Amendment rights. We first encountered the doctors at public forums, which were ... MORE

New York's Plot to Gut the Second Amendment
by Michael Filozof. On Dec. 9, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit will hear oral arguments in the case of Nojay v. Cuomo. At stake is nothing less than whether the Second Amendment grants substantive gun rights to American citizens, or is meaningless rhetoric that allows the government total control over what firearms ...

Democrats Move Gun Confiscation Underground
by Katie Kieffer. Fear of sunlight and guns is leading Democrats to turn nocturnal. Bats, mice, skunks and other nocturnal creatures are most active between sunset and sunrise. Nocturnal creatures do not “choose” to avoid sunlight anymore than fish “choose” to avoid dry land; it is instinctual, healthy and normal for nocturnal creatures to work ... MORE
