A deadly combination. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., after another mass shooting, predictably wasted no time in demanding still more gun control legislation. This week, a killer with a valid ID entered the Washington Navy Yard in southeast D.C., a military facility where 16,000 people -- mostly civilians -- work. He killed 12 people ... MORE

Larry Elder: Political Correctness In A Gun-Free Zone
A deadly combination. Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., after another mass shooting, predictably wasted no time in demanding still more gun control legislation. This week, a killer with a valid ID entered the Washington Navy Yard in southeast D.C., a military facility where 16,000 people -- mostly civilians -- work. He killed 12 people ... MOREHarvard Study Reveal Gun Control Counterproductive
The counterintuitive truth: more guns means less murder. Once again, a study from an organization that you would never accuse of being “gun-loving” or “right-wing” seems to disprove the myth that the availability of handguns increases murder rates. In fact, it doesn’t. The Harvard study attempts to answer the question of whether or ... MOREDems Seek Huge Taxes On Citizens' Right To Self-Defense
Bob Barr: The U.N. Comes After America's Guns
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 ... MORECalifornia's Senate Passes Ammunition Purchase Permit Bill
by Charles C. W. Cooke. As I write, California’s state legislature is attempting to regain for the state the lost title of Most Anti-Gun Place in the Union. The senate has just passed a provision that would require residents to get hold of a ”Purchase Permit” before buying ammunition. Per CBS: A controversial gun measure proposed by a Southern ... MOREVirginia Gun Crime Drops As State's Firearms Sales Soar
from Fox News. Amid calls nationwide for stricter gun control laws, Virginia is experiencing a unique trend: the state's gun-related crime is declining but firearms sales are increasing. Firearms sales rose 16 percent to a record 490,119 guns purchased from licensed gun dealers in 2012, according to sales estimates obtained by the Richmond ... MOREMost Americans Favor 'Stand Your Ground' Laws
Quinnipiac University poll reveals inconvenient truth. Most U.S. voters support the "Stand Your Ground" laws, although the question of whether to retreat or use deadly force in self defense divides Americans along gender, racial and political lines, a national poll found on Friday. The February 2012 shooting death of Trayvon Martin, ... MOREGUN 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 ... MOREJonathon 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 ... MOREEmily 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. Boys were taught to shoot and use their hands, and girls were taught to expect that in their men. ... MOREJ.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.” ... MOREThe 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. Folks with a permit from other states can pack heat in Arkansas without filing any paperwork. These are among the half-dozen legal changes in the state that passed only four months ... MOREJacob 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. If you understand why that claim is misleading, you will understand why background checks ... MOREThomas 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 ... MORECharles 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 ... MOREDana 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
