by Ben Shapiro. On Wednesday, America met a deeply evil human being: Vester Lee Flanagan II, also known as reporter Bryce Williams. Williams murdered two people while they were live on air on WDBJ in Virginia: reporter Alison Parker, and cameraman Adam Ward. After the murders, he went on the run – and while he was on the run, ...

John Stossel: Gun Lies
Guns are dangerous. So are lies. My town, New York City, enforces rigid gun laws. Police refused to assign me a gun permit. The law doesn't even let me hold a fake gun on TV to demonstrate something. But New York politicians are so eager to vilify gun ownership that they granted an exception to the anti-gun group States United to Prevent Gun ... MORE

Davvid Harsanyi: Gun Control - The Killer’s Best Friend
They seem to prefer unarmed victims. Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez is suspected of murdering four unarmed Marines in Chattanooga and wounding others. As I write this, we still don’t know how Abdulazeez obtained his gun or what his motivations were—though, we can take an educated guess on the latter. What we do know is that ... MORE
Charles Riggs: Parable Of The Sheep
When dealing with wolves. Not so long ago and in a pasture too uncomfortably close to here, a flock of sheep lived and grazed. They were protected by a dog, who answered to the master, but despite his best efforts from time to time a nearby pack of wolves would prey upon the flock. One day a group of sheep, more bold than the rest, met to ... MORE

David S. D'Amato: Progressives Against Liberal Values
It is not the right to bear arms that progressives fear. The tragedy in South Caroline, the result of the vile acts of a murdering racist, finds the political class once again dreaming of new “gun safety reforms” — which we can safely decode as new ways to trample on the individual’s right to possess a firearm. As President Obama put it, “If ... 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. Media discussions of gun control are dominated by two factors: the National Rifle Association and the Second Amendment. But the over-riding ... MORE

UK Police Tell Subjects Not to Harm Their Attackers; Rape Alarm Is The Only Fully Legal Defense System Allowed
What happens there's no 2nd Amendment. The latest dispatch from the United Kingdom’s ongoing campaign to
eliminate all forms of armed self-defense seems too incredible to be
true. Unfortunately, after tracking down the origin of a publicly distributed statement
regarding self-defense products on the country’s “Ask the Police”
website, ... MORE

Ed Krayewski: The Long War on Guns
A failure called ATF. "In a paramilitary-style operation, government agents invaded the neighborhood of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Tungren," the vignette reads. "A four-block area was sealed off, the neighborhood evacuated, and the Tungren home surrounded. Some of the agents ransacked their home, while others stood over the Tungrens ... MORE
Walter E Williams: Reality May Be Optional
Let's pretend instead. One of the wonders of modern times is that reality is often seen as a social construct and therefore optional. Thus, if one finds a particular reality offensive or inconvenient, he just "changes" it. Say that one is born a male or a female but believes that nature made an error. Some believe that nature's "error" can be corrected by ... 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
Off-Target: California GOP Embraces Gun-Grab Program
by Steven Greenhut. With friends like this, who needs enemies? Republican legislators are known for their support of gun rights, yet a letter they sent regarding state Attorney General Kamala Harris last week has a man-bites-dog quality about it. A dozen state GOP senators called for an oversight hearing to examine why Harris has been too ... MORE
Katie Pavlich: More Than 50 Senators Condemn The ATF Proposal To Ban Use Of AR-15 "Green Tip" Ammunition
ATF shoots self in foot. Late Monday afternoon, 52 Republican Senators sent a letter to ATF Director B. Todd Jones condemning the agency's latest proposal to ban commonly used AR-15 "green tip" ammunition and slammed the justification being used to do so, saying the legal framework under the Law Enforcement Officers Protection ...

How Gun Control Is Causing Another European Holocaust
by Pedro Gonzales. When Adolph Hitler got into power, he confiscated all the guns owned by Jewish people. Then, once they were defenseless, he sent them all to concentration camps. Now, in 2015, Jews are being slaughtered again because of their religion. And because of strict gun control laws in Europe, they are once again defenseless. ... 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

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
