Dave Kopel: Turning Gun Owners Into Felons
Spouse can't even borrow gun for over 7 days. Public-opinion polls about “universal background checks” for gun sales show widespread support.

Gun control misses the mark. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) engaged in a shoot-out over the constitutionality of her proposed Senate bill to ban “assault weapons” and “high-capacity” magazines. Although it passed the Senate Judiciary Committee on a party-line 10-8 vote, it has virtually no chance of passing the ... MORETim Brown: Ignorance & Mismanagement At DHS
Fast and Furious report is revealing.

MORENew 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 ... MOREGarth 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

laws ... MOREGrowing Number Of States Defy Federal Gun Laws

In preparation for government tyranny. Gun owners are having a hard time reloading lately as a spike in ammunition sales has stripped shelves bare in shops across the country. “We’ve been out for a month, and we have no idea when any is coming in,” said David Tait of Ohio Valley Outdoors in Lancaster. “People want to come in, and we just don’t ... MORERick Moran: Gabby Gifford's Husband Buys An AR-15
The nauseating hypocrisy of this guy is incredible. When caught red-handed by Breitbart, who tracked down a tip that Mark Kelly, former Rep. Gifford's husband purchased an "assault weapon," here's what the gun control advocate put on his Facebook page: I just had a background check a few days ago when I went to my local gun ... MOREDomestic Drones To Hunt Gun Carriers In America For DHS

MOREErik Rush: The Rise Of America's Gestapo
The enemies of the Constitution. On March 4, despite hundreds of Coloradans flooding the State Capitol in Denver and honking horns on the streets that encircle the building all day long, and the presence of 25 county sheriffs opposed to seven Democratic gun-control proposals, the measures all passed the Colorado House along party-line votes. ... MOREAndrew 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
All You Need To Know About "Assault Rifles"
Scare terms and reality. There are many articles
on the internet where people can learn the origins of the term “assault
rifle”, so I won’t go into that here. Nor will I get into the topic of
gun control effectiveness. Larry Correia has done such a good job here that anything I add would be redundant. “You keep using that word. I don’t think it means what ... MOREJacob Sullum: What's An Assault Weapon?
CNN, President Obama and many others don't know. Last week Sen. Dianne Feinstein
introduced a new, supposedly improved version of the federal
"assault weapon" ban that expired in 2004. But like that earlier
law, which the California Democrat also sponsored, Feinstein's
bill prohibits the manufacture and sale of guns based on
characteristics that ... MOREVIDEO: You Have A Duty To Protect Yourself

Victor Davis Hanson: The War Between The Amendments
Parity to an all-powerful, centralized government. The horrific Newtown, Conn., mass shooting has unleashed a frenzy to
pass new gun-control legislation. But the war over restricting firearms
is not just between liberals and conservatives; it also pits the first
two amendments to the U.S. Constitution against each other. Apparently, in the sequential ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Are Guns The Problem?
Moral values, not laws, make a civilized society. When I attended primary and secondary school — during the 1940s and '50s — one didn't hear of the kind of shooting mayhem that's become routine today. Why? It surely wasn't because of strict firearm laws. My replica of the 1902 Sears mail-order catalog shows 35 pages of firearm ... MORE
