GUN OWNERS: Don't Let Obama Sign UN Arms Trade Treaty

by Katie Kieffer.        Your guns are in danger. Obama has stopped defending the Second Amendment. He did not get his gun control agenda passed in the Senate. So, he’s unconstitutionally trying to use the United Nations to control your guns. Don’t let him. Obama is getting dangerously close to signing the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty. If he    ...

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

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.

J.D. Tuccille: Print Your Gun Parts At Home

New technology challenges gun control laws.  In February, the techie gun-rights group Defense Distributed unveiled a 3D-printed lower receiver for an AR-15 rifle that withstood hundreds of rounds of fire. A YouTube video of the component in action was accompanied by the terse statement, “Does not fail from firing stresses. 600+ rounds.”    ... MORE

The Gun Rights Revolution You Might Have Missed

by Miranda Green.   If you live in Arkansas, you can now carry a concealed gun into a bar, or a liquor store—or a church. College staffers can bring guns on campus.

Jacob Sullum: Checking The Logic Of Background Checks

Thwarting criminals at the gun shop.    Urging Congress to expand background checks for gun buyers, President Obama claims the current system has "kept more than 2 million dangerous people from getting their hands on a gun" during the last two decades.

Thomas Sowell: Fact-Free Crusades

Cracking down on law-abiding citizens.    Amid all the heated, emotional advocacy of gun control, have you ever heard even one person present convincing hard evidence that tighter gun control laws have in fact reduced murders? Think about all the states, communities within states, as well as foreign countries, that have either tight gun control laws  ... MORE

Charles C. W. Cooke: A Tax On Freedom

High taxes on guns and ammo punish the law-abiding.    ‘I’m not asking to take away people’s guns,” Maryland legislator Jon Cardin nervously told Politico this week. “I’m just saying that for an activity that is relatively dangerous, obviously, people who participate in that activity should pay the full costs of that activity.” America, witness a        ...

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

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. While President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg talk about “gun sales,” the actual legislation moving through Congress aims to regulate far more than sales. It would turn almost every gun owner into a  ... MORE

Forbes Op-Ed: Feinstein Shoots-Off Mouth, Hits Foot

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    ... MORE

Tim Brown: Ignorance & Mismanagement At DHS

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.

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      ...
