MOREDavid Harsanyi: Obama's Legacy Is Executive Abuse

by Brian Doherty. "There is a gun for roughly every man, woman, and child in America," President Barack Obama proclaimed after the October mass shooting that killed 10 at Umpqua Community College in Oregon.

MOREGun Sales Peak As Obama Demands New Gun Restrictions

an endorsement from ... MOREJohn Stossel: Politicians Without Borders

It would have no ... MOREPlease Don't Say Radical If You Mean Violent
by Sheldon Richman. It's about time someone challenged the phrase radical Islamic terrorism.
